26
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 4: Glad to be back in San Francisco. Uh, definitely got

27
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 4: to interrupted night of sleep. I think we had an earthquake.

28
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 4: We did, you did.

29
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 3: Let's let's get to Tony v story your first San

30
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 3: Francisco earthquake.

31
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 2: How'd it go?

32
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: Uh?

33
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 4: I thought someone was moving me in my bed. Uh.

34
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 4: So that was disturbing. I'm the only one that lives here. Uh,

35
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 4: But yeah, I woke up and uh, for whatever reason,

36
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 4: my brain clicked on right away that that's what had

37
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 4: to have happened. So I was on my phone for

38
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 4: about an hour in the middle of the night, and

39
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 4: probably like a lot of Giants fans, started looking online

40
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 4: and trying to figure out how we can, you know,

41
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 4: get to five hundred and then eventually get over that mark.

42
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: That's awesome. I love it, the first earthquake. It's perfect.

43
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 2: Mother Nature welcomed you back.

44
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 3: So hey, listen, but we have so much to talk about,

45
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 3: but we wanted to start with the biggest deal, and

46
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 3: that is it happened Monday night in San Diego, your

47
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 3: first major league win, now, Tony, I think we were

48
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 3: pretty certain you were gonna get a major league win, right,

49
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 3: But it's like graduating from high school. We know it's

50
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 3: gonna happen. It's still a great occasion, right, so we

51
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 3: wanted to say, that's a great moment. It was really

52
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 3: cool to see it. It was great to see everybody

53
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 3: hugging you and all that. And I know there's many,

54
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 3: many more to come, but you're now in the books

55
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 3: with John McGraw and Leoda Roacher and Bruce Bochi and

56
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 3: Dusty Baker, and just a chance to reflect on that.

57
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,119
Speaker 3: I know you're in the mode of trying to beat

58
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 3: the Mets tonight. I get that, but can you give

59
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 3: us a little moment of reflection and maybe something special

60
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 3: that happened after the game?

61
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the win was a lot better than

62
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 4: the locker room effort afterwards. I think the guys that

63
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 4: there was a lot of love felt, but there was

64
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 4: also a lot of torture felt. So I guess it's

65
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 4: a little bit of a rookie hazing that goes on

66
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 4: after your first win. The good thing was we were

67
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 4: able to win a second game, and I wasn't the

68
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 4: only coach that was tormented a little bit, uh with

69
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 4: with the rituals, so that that was fun to actually

70
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 4: watch on night two and actually enjoy the second win.

71
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 4: But reflecting on the first one, it was, to be

72
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 4: honest with you, it was great. You know, if you

73
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 4: were gonna win one game against the Yankees or one

74
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 4: game against the Padres, you would rather win, you know,

75
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 4: against the divisional opponent. At the same time, it was

76
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 4: a little bittersweet. There was so much build up to

77
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 4: that first week and opening day. Really it was months

78
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 4: and months of build up and uh man, the fanfare

79
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 4: of the first two games and really it bled into

80
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 4: the third game were phenomenal, and uh, you know, to

81
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 4: not get it done at home was a little frustrating,

82
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 4: but yeah, glad to get the first one because you

83
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 4: guys said you knew the first one was gonna come

84
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 4: at some point, but we're all human. I gotta admit

85
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 4: I didn't know until until it happened, just to be

86
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 4: just to be fair. But now our team is starting

87
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 4: to play with some personality and I think it's a

88
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 4: completely different vibe since we were all able to kind

89
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 4: of get that monkey off the back.

90
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, Tony We saw you win a lot of

91
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 5: games at the collegiate level with Tennessee, obviously, but for

92
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 5: you to get this milestone win, did this win feel

93
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 5: different at all for you doing it at the major

94
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 5: league level and it was something that you were glad

95
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 5: to kind of get off your shoulders and move on from.

96
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was. It was definitely the latter. And then,

97
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 4: you know, the first one was you know, you get

98
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 4: in a zero to three hole and we know what

99
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 4: last year's record was. It was, you know, even steven

100
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 4: and that's the mark that I think everyone has targeted.

101
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 4: I know, Giants fans may have other numbers in their head,

102
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 4: and I'd like to feel I got as high as

103
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 4: standards as anybody. But you get in that hole and

104
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 4: your first thought is how do we, you know, get

105
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 4: three wins as quickly as possible so we're at least

106
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 4: at a mark that we want to be. And I

107
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 4: get it it is early in the season, although I

108
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 4: also get you know, the first ten games are always overreacted,

109
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 4: is what John Smoltz's quote was to me, And I said, well,

110
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 4: I'm one of those overreactors. We want to win as

111
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 4: quickly as possible and kind of get this train rolling. Yeah,

112
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 4: it was a great feeling to more than anything to

113
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 4: see what we know we have in that locker room

114
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 4: kind of come together and now we do have some

115
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 4: factual data we can point to. Is we really feel

116
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 4: confident in the starting group. I know a couple of

117
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 4: these guys are capable of the night and he shut out,

118
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 4: But what we really see is just a group that's

119
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 4: stable and is always going to compete and can keep

120
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 4: us in the game at the end of the day.

121
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 4: To me, that's all you can ask your starting pitcher

122
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 4: to do when they get as many starts as they do.

123
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 4: The bullpen was questioned by many, including us, to be

124
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 4: honest with you, so we're kind of on a mission

125
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 4: to actually make that a strength as opposed to a weakness.

126
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 4: Those guys have really responded well and hitting is going

127
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 4: to come and go. Defense, of course, needs to be stable.

128
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 4: We want to be aggressive on the basis and we've

129
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 4: kind of seen all those attributes. But the main thing

130
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 4: with that position group I wanted to continue to ramble

131
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 4: on about was I think there's a lot of personality there.

132
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 4: There's leadership, The guys really do have a camaraderie already

133
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 4: early in the year. Maybe it's because we have some

134
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 4: holdovers from last year, But as that group continues to

135
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 4: relax and continues to have some personality, whether it's having

136
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 4: fun or getting on each other and being intense, I

137
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 4: think it's a winning group.

138
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 3: By the way, we got ten million things to ask

139
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 3: you in this brief time we have, but you mentioned

140
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 3: the style and the energy and coming together. The one

141
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 3: thing that jumped out of me, This is gonna seems

142
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 3: really random. Luisa Rise's delayed steel against the Yankees. I

143
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 3: freaking loved that, And I was wondering if that was

144
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 3: my first sign of Tony v baseball or was that

145
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 3: just something he did entirely on his own, or was

146
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 3: it something you guys talked about in spring training?

147
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 6: A random question, It's it's something we talked about and

148
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 6: something we do want to be aggressive on the basis

149
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 6: I mean, I got asked about, you know, I believe

150
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 6: from Korean media was with Jung Hu being too aggressive.

151
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 4: Maybe you know in San Diego he makes a third

152
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 4: out at third, but the Padres made a mistake, and

153
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 4: we want to try and capitalize on other people's mistakes.

154
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 4: And I think the only way you find out what

155
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 4: is being too aggressive, is to tow that line or

156
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 4: go over that line, and then maybe you learn lessons

157
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 4: and you pull back a little bit. So and I

158
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 4: appreciate the phrase Tony v. Baseball, But while myself and

159
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 4: then the other coaches need to be leaders, Ultimately, the

160
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 4: guys on the field are going to play, and we

161
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 4: just want them to play free and play aggressive. So

162
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 4: those are things we've talked about too, and then you

163
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 4: add in the extra mix of just some of the

164
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 4: things we did this weekend or you know, against San

165
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 4: Diego in particular. He's got a very unique style. The

166
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 4: game comes slow to him, He's having fun out there,

167
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 4: and yet he's really intense. He's a special guy to

168
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 4: have around and I'm hoping some of what he's got

169
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 4: going on wears off on the other guys too, because

170
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 4: it's a really unique deal just getting to watch him

171
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 4: play every night.

172
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, i'd say Luisa Rice has maybe gone off to

173
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 5: the best start on the entire team. What he's doing

174
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 5: on the base pass, what he's doing with the bat,

175
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 5: and even what he's doing defensively. But Tony, we've also

176
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 5: seen you move him around in the lineup, whether it's

177
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 5: the lead off spot, the three hole or the full hole.

178
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 5: So talk to us about that process. What goes into

179
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 5: those decisions. What is the thought process when you are

180
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 5: drawing up these lineups.

181
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, for me, you know, I don't know where my

182
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 4: opinion matches up with others because I think there's a

183
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 4: lot of varying opinions that you can dive into. I've

184
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 4: said it a million times. I like healthy debates among

185
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 4: the coaches, So I think, you know, drawing on everyone's opinion,

186
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 4: and you got a unique deal with guys like Buster,

187
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 4: you know, and then I feel like I'm close with

188
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 4: the other upper management guys, just just asking them their opinion,

189
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 4: even though they've given us complete freedom to do what

190
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 4: we think we need to do. All the coaches, I

191
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 4: like at least knowing where the players like to be.

192
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 4: That doesn't mean they're necessarily going to be there. And

193
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 4: then how guys are swinging at a particular time. We're

194
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 4: early in the season, so it's a little tough to

195
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 4: judge that part. And then you got the matchups too,

196
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 4: and then some of it is just not hey, this

197
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 4: is the best guy in this particular spot. It's just

198
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 4: putting together the whole nine guys and where we got

199
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 4: good at Tennessee, which is a completely different level, is

200
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 4: where all nine guys were a pain in the butt

201
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 4: for the other staff, and you know, you don't really

202
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 4: know where those RBI situations are going to come. The

203
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 4: other night it was seven, eight and nine that did

204
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 4: a lot of the damage and set the table, and

205
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,359
Speaker 4: you know, Willie ended up coming up some RBI situations

206
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 4: even though he was in the leadoff spot. So if

207
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 4: I was to say one big thing about it is

208
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 4: sometimes it comes up as crucial, Sometimes it comes up

209
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 4: as overrated where guys are at. But what never comes

210
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 4: up underrated or undervalued is meeting all nine guys when

211
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 4: they do get their opportunity, no matter what situation it is,

212
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 4: get the kleets and the dirt and compete for the giants.

213
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 4: And again, if nine guys do that, it's a pain

214
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 4: in the butt to be a pitching coach. I've been

215
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 4: that guy.

216
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 3: Tony Vattello is the voice you hear on our Giants

217
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 3: executive show. We rotate Buster and Tony and Zach Manazzi

218
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 3: and Larry Behar, So we appreciate right and early the

219
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 3: manager getting up and talking to these giants fans out here.

220
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 3: So we've done a lot of macro big picture stuff

221
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 3: and the win and all that, and now we go

222
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 3: micro first base. Casey Schmidt has played every game at

223
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 3: first base. He's not at natural first basement. I think

224
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 3: he came up as a shortstop and then a third basement.

225
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 3: So we'd love to know, you know, when you and

226
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 3: your coaches sit down and talk about the lineup, why

227
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 3: have you played Casey at first every game? And is

228
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 3: that going to change anytime soon given Dever's health.

229
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you know, Raffi's closer. I don't think

230
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 4: it's anything immediate. The one thing we've tried to do

231
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 4: is get other guys caught up to being able to

232
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 4: play at that position, just to kind of lengthen the

233
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 4: amount of options we have at this point. You know,

234
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 4: Casey's shown the best defense more than anything. And it

235
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 4: was unique on day one. We're looking ahead like Giants fans,

236
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 4: and you know the lineup all along was going to

237
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 4: be Casey and Raffi in there, So it just kind

238
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 4: of became a switch out. As a couple of weeks out,

239
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 4: you know, Raffi had some hamstring issues. So yeah, right now,

240
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 4: I mean he's he's capable of doing damage with the

241
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 4: bat like a lot of our hitters, he's capable of

242
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 4: flat out doing better than he's done so far in

243
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 4: a small sample size. But defensively he's shown the best

244
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 4: over there. Yesterday was unique with you know, you wonder

245
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 4: because I've been the baseball player before, where one play

246
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 4: affects confidence of another. You wonder if the first the

247
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 4: first one is really tricky. You got to put yourself

248
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 4: in the guy's shoes of you know, Chap, He's got

249
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 4: to get rid of it because Machado can run pretty good,

250
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 4: and it was a tricky play. But then you got

251
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 4: the biggest guy on the padres bearing down on you

252
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 4: in the ball meeting. At the same time, all of

253
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 4: us would like to play made. It wasn't made. You

254
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 4: move on, and we're still in a position to win

255
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 4: the game. I think twice now, Casey is guilty of

256
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 4: what every first basement is. So this is where my

257
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 4: experience pays off. In college, you got young guys, a

258
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 4: lot of guys are converting to that spot, and then

259
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 4: a lot of guys just haven't been coached at that spot.

260
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 4: Stretching early is the most common problem over at first base,

261
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 4: and it's really difficult to not do. You need experience,

262
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 4: and I think he's been guilty of that a couple times,

263
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 4: but not guilty of again to me competing because nobody

264
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 4: felt worse after the game yesterday. And yeah, there are

265
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 4: two plays that had a big impact, but there are

266
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 4: a lot of other plays that went on in that

267
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 4: game too.

268
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 5: Just to follow up on ralphel Devers, because we have

269
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 5: not seen him in the field yet, we know he

270
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 5: is dealing with some hamstring tightness. We saw him bust

271
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 5: down the line the other day pretty damn hard. So

272
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 5: do you guys have a timeline of when you do

273
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,079
Speaker 5: want to see him back in the field.

274
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he did that, you know, against our advisement,

275
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 4: mainly mine. I got made fun of for yelling at

276
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 4: him and spring training to take it to kind of

277
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 4: cool it on the basins a little bit, but he

278
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 4: was hauling but you know, down the line a couple

279
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 4: different times in spring training, once almost beaten out an

280
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 4: infield hit. And so it's kind of been the theme

281
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 4: that we already know of. He feels really comfortable in

282
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 4: a straight line, but when you're getting into a squat

283
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 4: position or you know, you're potentially stretching real far, but

284
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 4: even just a little bit is where his discomfort is.

285
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 4: So that's where everybody's at right now, is all right,

286
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 4: we have one hundred and sixty two games to play.

287
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 4: How deep in do we go before we're pushing it?

288
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 4: Because right now I think everybody agrees we'd be pushing

289
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 4: it a little bit. And then on the flip side

290
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 4: of that, they're doing that. You know, Gresh and his

291
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 4: staff are doing everything possible with him to loosen that

292
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 4: thing up and just get him feeling where he needs

293
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 4: to be. And I, you know, would be sugarcoating or

294
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 4: however you want to phrase it. I'd be saying the

295
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 4: wrong thing if I didn't say our best lineup is

296
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 4: with those common eight guys that everybody knows out there

297
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 4: in the field every day, and that of course needs

298
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 4: Rafi at first, A couple.

299
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 3: Of quick ones, follow up, Louise Rise can play first.

300
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 3: Have you guys thought about playing him there in the meantime?

301
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's it's potential, but it's also you know,

302
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 4: a part of Louise's selection of where he was going

303
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 4: to play, you know, of course, being a free agent

304
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 4: and he was you know, determined to play second base,

305
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 4: and I think that's something that we were determined to

306
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 4: do too. Is kind of feel really good about that

307
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 4: spot case and costs offer a tremendous amount of flexibility

308
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 4: on the field. That are talented guys, but we're looking

309
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 4: for an everyday veteran second basement and so that's where

310
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 4: that combination kind of met in the middle. And I

311
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 4: use that word determination on purpose, determined to play second

312
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 4: That's one of the reasons you see him playing well

313
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 4: defensively is the mindset met with the work ethic to

314
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 4: play that position. So that's kind of the background behind

315
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 4: that got it.

316
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 2: Got it?

317
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 3: Okay, So we just talked about your eight guys in

318
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 3: the lineup and one of the things that has stood

319
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 3: out is my gosh, at everyday lineup over and over

320
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 3: and over again. And in many ways that's a positive,

321
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 3: but in some ways you're thinking, okay, well, day game

322
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 3: after a night game is a good time to get

323
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 3: some guys off their feet. You guys did strike out

324
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 3: fourteen times yesterday. Maybe some guys were a little lethargics.

325
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 3: Paveta has something to do with that, I know, But

326
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 3: are you now beginning to learn like Oh, okay, here's

327
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 3: how I gotta start using my bench guys, or no,

328
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 3: I'm going with my.

329
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 4: Eight a little bit. I mean, you know, I think

330
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 4: at this point Jared, you know, had a lot to

331
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 4: do with you know, tacking on to the lead the

332
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 4: night before. His role has kind of been seen now

333
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 4: by by fans. Is he's a weapon offensively on the basis.

334
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 4: Doesn't mean he can't do other things. But he'll eventually

335
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 4: get some time in the outfield. But you know, for

336
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 4: the most part, those are our three guys. The left

337
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 4: eye guys literally want to be out there every day.

338
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 4: We're a little limited right now what we can do

339
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 4: on the right side. I think Gerrar eventually will get

340
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 4: his opportunity over at first base. He's worked hard to

341
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 4: try and put some reps into that position. And then

342
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,239
Speaker 4: Patty and I met the night before and our options

343
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 4: were to you know, switch out and let's do sac

344
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 4: catch yesterday, or to do it today today. We see

345
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 4: a left handed pitcher. It's after a road trip. Patty

346
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 4: really felt like he had a good sense of the

347
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 4: Padres lineup as far as pitch calling goes, and then

348
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 4: also had started to catch a little bit of a

349
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 4: rhythm at the plate. So after some discussions with everybody,

350
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 4: we decided to go with Bailey today, yesterday and Susac

351
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 4: today as opposed to flipping that.

352
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 5: A few more minutes here with Giants manager Tony Vattello

353
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 5: on the Giants Executive Show on CAMBI are sponsored by

354
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 5: Redwood Credit Union for you for community for seventy five years.

355
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 5: And Tony just kind of a big picture broad question

356
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 5: on the ABS challenge system. Now, I know you guys

357
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 5: got to work through it throughout spring training, but now

358
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 5: six games into the regular season, what is the strategy

359
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 5: there for you guys? Do you like it when guys

360
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 5: are aggressive early? Do you want to save some of

361
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 5: those challenges in your back pocket for later on in games?

362
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 2: Would you rather have.

363
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 5: Your pitchers and catchers have it in their back pocket

364
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 5: versus the batters maybe getting an extra opportunity. What's the

365
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 5: philosophy and overall team strategy when it comes to using

366
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 5: these ABS challenges.

367
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, the conversations in spring training were really good because

368
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 4: it was just pulling out outliers where hey, the next

369
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 4: time this comes up, really try and do this, or

370
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 4: let's not use it here. But we just wanted the

371
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 4: guys to experiment with it and be aggressive. So going

372
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 4: into the season, we were one of the highest rated

373
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 4: teams and the guys had done a really good job.

374
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 4: And obviously a big part of that was, you know,

375
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 4: Patty Bailey's so good it kind of having a feel

376
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 4: for that, not just the catcher, but a hitter. He

377
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 4: had a lot of success. So there wasn't a lot

378
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 4: that wanted to be changed. But one thing we've seen

379
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 4: and kind of pointed out to the guys is they've

380
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 4: been a little tentative with it. But I think a

381
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 4: part of that is just, you know, understanding when you're

382
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 4: out of them, things change. And I'll let you guys

383
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 4: talk about that on air, because there's there's a lot

384
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 4: that changes. Some of it you can control, some of

385
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 4: it you can't. And then you know, eighth and ninth inning,

386
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 4: you'd like to have one in your back pocket. It

387
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 4: in particular on defense or if you're you know, up

388
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 4: at the plate with the game on the line, you

389
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 4: know that that also would would fall into that category.

390
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 4: If anything, I think guys have been a little hesitant,

391
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 4: and it's no fault of them not considering it. I

392
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 4: think everybody's trying to keep the team in mind. And

393
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 4: it's interesting. I don't like putting conspiracy theories out there,

394
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 4: but you know, probably a little bit of that hesitancy

395
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 4: has been a little bit of the try hard that

396
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 4: we've seen out of our guys. And I don't know

397
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 4: if it appears that way on TV or in the sands,

398
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 4: but I think if we're guilty if anything as a group,

399
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 4: it's just trying a little too hard to do well

400
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 4: and to win. And when you do that, you're not

401
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 4: loose and you're not yourself, and you tend to lock

402
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 4: up a little bit in situations. And again, I think

403
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,360
Speaker 4: there's been some situations in particular on offense where we've

404
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:58,239
Speaker 4: drawn ball four, but our guys haven't used that. So

405
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 4: but we've also seen if you use it early, all

406
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 4: of a sudden, now you're a little bit hamstrung in

407
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 4: the middle innings because you don't want to spend that

408
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 4: second one and go through the last four four three

409
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 4: innings even without one.

410
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, padres blue one early yesterday.

411
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 3: Listen, we could go on and on and on and on,

412
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 3: but we're talking no managers experience this first California earthquake.

413
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 3: He's got, he's got to get his bearings. So we're

414
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 3: gonna let you go, but rapid fire just at the end.

415
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 2: Some fun ones.

416
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 3: If anybody from Knoxville or Missouri or Arkansas texted you

417
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 3: in the past week and said, hey, Tony, how's the show?

418
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 2: What's your answer?

419
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 4: You know what, I gotta be honest. I had to

420
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 4: comment the hotel, accommodations and the food are a little

421
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 4: bit better.

422
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like that Crash State.

423
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 4: I really yeah. I really enjoyed working in Arkansas. But

424
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 4: we actually finished our season there as an opponent, and

425
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 4: the Fairfield in Fairfield in and Faylee, Arkansas. You're on

426
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 4: a little bit of a remote island out there.

427
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 2: It's not the Hotel del Coronado.

428
00:20:59,560 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 4: No.

429
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

430
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 4: And also I was chatting with one of the Tennessee

431
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 4: players and we had a good conversation going, but I said,

432
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 4: all right, man, I gotta get going. I got he

433
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 4: had a midweek game going against a non conference opponent,

434
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 4: and I told him we got Fernando Tatis to worry about.

435
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 4: So it's kind of amical moment.

436
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 3: You just mind me of the Crash Davis scene in

437
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 3: bull Durham and he's like all the batting practice balls

438
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 3: are white, and they take your bags and then we'll

439
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 3: get Pg.

440
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 2: Thirteen. All the women have long legs and brains.

441
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 6: Right.

442
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 4: But yes, indeed, I'd be lying if I didn't say

443
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 4: I thought about that scene.

444
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 2: Okay, good man, Okay, So that's one number two.

445
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 3: We love to be flattered here in San Francisco, our

446
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 3: beautiful city. Tell us about the park, Stanley, You said, so,

447
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 3: I mean you played the Sultanes and there was like

448
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 3: two or three people there.

449
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 2: Then you played the Yankees. It was forty.

450
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 3: Thousand, and you looked up a couple of times and

451
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 3: you looked at the sky and the cove and all that.

452
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 2: Can you brag about that site, Tony? Tell us how

453
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 2: awesome it was, just the.

454
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 4: Whole vibe of the city. Because my family here, and

455
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 4: you know, we had the off days here walking the streets,

456
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 4: and I come from the Midwest, born and then lived

457
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 4: in the East Coast. And one thing that was talked

458
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 4: about a bunch, and I was fortunate enough to meet

459
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 4: the mayor, was how the new mayor has impacted the city.

460
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 4: I only know what I know. I was here a bunch,

461
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 4: you know, a couple decades ago, and maybe a little

462
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 4: closer to in recent time. I've always loved the city,

463
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 4: but whatever's going on right now, maybe it was the

464
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:35,239
Speaker 4: magic of Opening Day. Just the vibe, the energy, the

465
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 4: look of was phenomenal outside the park, inside the park,

466
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 4: the national anthem, everything that had to go with it

467
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 4: was so great that I found myself maybe not enjoying

468
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 4: it as much as I should have, because you don't

469
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 4: want to get distracted from the game, and so I

470
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 4: kind of looked forward to being game fifty six or

471
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 4: whatever number you want to attach to it, and being

472
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 4: at home and really kind of taken in time to

473
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 4: relish in the unique environment we have because you got

474
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 4: the fans here active. I thought we had that too

475
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 4: in the SBC is the fans are big in number,

476
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 4: but that doesn't mean a lot unless they're active, and

477
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 4: they just seem to be very active here. And then

478
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 4: you get views from our stadium that are during pre

479
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 4: game when I'm moving around. It's it's a great park.

480
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 4: Everybody knows that. I'm jealous of the people that get

481
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,719
Speaker 4: the overhead views. You know, I rewatched the games and

482
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 4: every now and then they'll show that overhead view and

483
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 4: get the bay and everything else. It's it's incredible.

484
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 3: Now the drones that NBC Sports be Area US have

485
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 3: been a game changer. It's just spectacular. So I'm glad

486
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 3: you're all enjoying that. And by the way, the final

487
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 3: most important question is what did you say to the

488
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 3: heckler in San Diego?

489
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 4: Is there one guy in particular?

490
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 3: Well, they do so when you won your first game,

491
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 3: you turned around and said something to the crowd, and

492
00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 3: we thought it was to maybe mom and dad or sister.

493
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, there was a guy that just would not

494
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 4: stop yelling at me. But he wasn't. He wasn't. I

495
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 4: don't know if he was a Giants fan or Padres fan.

496
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 4: He just kept yelling. And you know, those seats wrap

497
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 4: around the dugouts like a lot of these parks now,

498
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 4: they want you close to the action. So I just

499
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 4: looked and kind of gave a thumbs up, and uh,

500
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 4: you know, to this day, I don't know if he

501
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 4: was four or against, but he was loud. Okay, now,

502
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 4: now yesterday, I know which guys were definitely not for

503
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 4: the Giants. I think old Harry Bater, probably because he

504
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 4: looked like Randy Macho man Savage in a baseball uniform.

505
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 4: You know, they like talking to him. I can tell

506
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 4: you that, Bai.

507
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 2: Tots there you go. All right, listen, we're getting to

508
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 2: know you. Everybody's getting to know you. It was great

509
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 2: to take away.

510
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 3: Hey, you know, the Giants only beat the Padres three

511
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 3: times last year and you got him twice in one

512
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 3: series in their parks, So that's pretty good. Now. As

513
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 3: you said to your buddy from Tennessee, hey, I gotta go.

514
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,719
Speaker 3: I got the New York Metropolitan storry about I got

515
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 3: one and Frankie Lindor coming to town. So uh, that's

516
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 3: the fun part.
