1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,040 Speaker 1: Giants Mets Game two of the series. I'm John Miller. Well, 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:08,960 Speaker 1: Today's twenty three hour with Giants skipper Tony Vtello and 3 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 1: Tony first off, just as I was about to talk 4 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: to you about the great night of Casey Schmidt the 5 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 1: day after, and man, he sort of did it all 6 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 1: with the Giants in that game, and he was in 7 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: the lineup that I saw when I was on my 8 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: way over to the ballpark, but no longer in the lineup. 9 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,519 Speaker 2: What happened, Yeah, a little bit of back soreness, and 10 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 2: he actually was in that training room all day long, 11 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 2: just kind of getting worked on. Figured he'd kind of 12 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 2: worked that out and ease his way into pregame, but 13 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 2: just this early in the year, with it barking at 14 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 2: him the way that it is, the training staff felt 15 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 2: it was best to move forward without him being in 16 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 2: the lineup. And it kind of does us a favor 17 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 2: and give someone an opportunity that we've been dying to 18 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 2: do so in Giraar in Carnacione, and you know, I'm 19 00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 2: now looking back in San Diego. We did lose Game three, 20 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 2: but one of the small positives that came out was 21 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 2: we got Jerras first at bat, so at least it's 22 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 2: not ideal, but at least he's been in the box 23 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 2: at some point this season. 24 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 3: But he'll get a full chance tonight. 25 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 2: So it was kind of Susak on display last night, 26 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 2: Jerrar on display tonight. 27 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 3: All right. 28 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: Now, last night a couple of new faces that both excelled. 29 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: And hey, it's a tough league because Daniel Sussac in 30 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: his first major league start, had three hits first two 31 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: pitches he saw. He got base hits on three hits, 32 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 1: a walk, he also got a challenge and got a 33 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 1: walk turned into a strikeout last night. Man, he just 34 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: kind of did it all at all levels, and yet 35 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: he's not in there today, which I'm I guess not 36 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: really surprised. 37 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean everybody knows Patty Bailey's prowess behind the plate. 38 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 2: His ability to call a game is top notes, but 39 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 2: then there's the rest of his ability to catch and 40 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 2: handle the pitching staff and really just history and experience too. 41 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 2: So we're blessed to have him and he's our guy 42 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 2: for a lot of reasons. But I think everybody celebrated 43 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 2: two sex night as much as you can imagine in 44 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 2: our locker room he's got the full belief of everybody 45 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 2: in there. I can assure you that, so his next 46 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 2: opportunity won't be far behind. And I think eventually we'll 47 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 2: find the best balance of utilizing both guys that I 48 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 2: truly feel are weapons behind the plate. But yeah, Patty 49 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 2: will get to get out there today and of course 50 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 2: work with his guy Mally, and we'll see what we 51 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 2: can do. 52 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 3: All right now. 53 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 1: The other guy was a blade Tidwell just brought up 54 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: when you had to put Boutteaux on the injured list, 55 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: and somebody you were very familiar with. He went to 56 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: the University of Tennessee and it was a pretty good 57 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: debut with three innings for him and against his old team. 58 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 2: No, it was tremendous, and I know he kind of 59 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 2: had it on his mind just getting the call after 60 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 2: being disappointed of not being with the big league club. 61 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 3: He was anxious and kind of on a mission to throw. 62 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,839 Speaker 2: Well, leading up to this, he had done, so it's 63 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 2: why he's the guy that got the call. And then 64 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,799 Speaker 2: I think that preparation and readiness ramped up a bit 65 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 2: when he knew he had an opportunity to throw against 66 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 2: the team. 67 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:21,519 Speaker 3: He came over from. 68 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 2: So all in all was great, But I'd tie it 69 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,399 Speaker 2: into who you mentioned earlier with Schmidty. Even though Schmidty's 70 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 2: not playing into night's game, he's got a chance to 71 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 2: affect tonight's game because with that catch he made with 72 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 2: Tidwell out there, it allowed us to keep Blade in 73 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 2: the game, keep that pitch count relatively limited, keep the 74 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 2: score of the way it was, and prevented us from 75 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 2: having to use another reliever. So Blade's outing was great, 76 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 2: he had great defense behind him, and also Sussac contributed 77 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 2: there too. So all around, a really cool team effort 78 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 2: from some guys that maybe aren't the poster boys or 79 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 2: the guys that are on the schedule card and all 80 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 2: that good stuff. 81 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: The Giants and the Mets, and the Giants will see 82 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: a young pitcher who last year, the tail end of 83 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: the season was had some of the most impressive games 84 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: of any young pitcher in the game, Nolan McClain. We'll 85 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: talk about that when today's Tony by Tello Show continues 86 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: now more twenty three hour with the Skipper of the Giants, 87 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 1: Tony by Tello, Nolan McClain starts for the Mets. Now 88 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: by all accounts, he's just got great stuff, and as 89 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: the Mets were kind of fading in the pennant race 90 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 1: late last year, he was the one bright light among 91 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: all their pictures because man, he was almost unbeatable. 92 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm very familiar. 93 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 2: He was on our campus, the University of Tennessee, not 94 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 2: just a baseball recruit but also a big time quarterback. 95 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 2: So he is as about a prime of an athlete as. 96 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 3: You'll find on the mound. 97 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 2: And even though he's young in age, he's risen and 98 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 2: become a household name pretty quickly. The WBC probably helped 99 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 2: that out a little bit as well. So even though 100 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 2: he has that status, the unique thing is a lot 101 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 2: of our guys have not seen him, save two of them. 102 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 2: Most guys will be getting their first look at him. 103 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 2: So it'll be interesting to see how our guys do 104 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 2: with their first look and then how quickly can we 105 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 2: adjust to things as the game goes on. But undoubtedly 106 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 2: a pretty good challenge tonight from a guy that's got 107 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 2: as good as stuff as almost any starter in the 108 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 2: big leagues. 109 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: All Right, So here we go. It's Game two of 110 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: the series. The Giants up against the young ace of 111 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,239 Speaker 1: the Mets, Knowlan McLain. And that's the Tony Vtello Show 112 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: for today.
