Speaker 1: Giants-Reds game two at Oracle Park and for the Giants
Speaker 1: last night it was a nice beginning to the game
Speaker 1: for Carson Wisenhut and then suddenly he had to leave
Speaker 1: the game with elbow pain and I know today they
Speaker 1: were going to look more deeply into that. I'm John
Speaker 1: Miller with today's Tony Vitello show and the news does
Speaker 1: not sound good.
Speaker 2: No, you know surgery at this point has been recommended
Speaker 2: and I don't want to say it's inevitable but it's
Speaker 2: it's more than likely what will occur. He'll kind of
Speaker 2: sort through things with his family and agent, and maybe
Speaker 2: you get a second look and things like that. But,
Speaker 2: you know, it's kind of the elbow injury that I
Speaker 2: don't want to say is common, but was the common
Speaker 2: theme in the dugout. And I think with Wiz, when
Speaker 2: it occurred, everybody had a deep sense of what was
Speaker 2: going on there.
Speaker 1: All right. And those quite often end up being like
Speaker 1: the elbow reconstruction type surgeries.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, you know, the Tommy John surgery is
Speaker 2: more than likely on the horizon. And, you know, that
Speaker 2: calendar year has kind of been a rough estimate. It
Speaker 2: can be different for everybody. But, you know, the timing
Speaker 2: is unfortunate because he was rolling along pretty good and
Speaker 2: I think learning a lot and had a little bit
Speaker 2: of the, you know, month left in the season as
Speaker 2: a great runway to kind of establish himself but also
Speaker 2: just develop. But not only does he not get that,
Speaker 2: but coming back healthy from this might mean, you know,
Speaker 2: a full season.
Speaker 1: Now, also, the shortstop, Willie Adamas, got an MRI, and
Speaker 1: not as dire, but there is an issue with his
Speaker 1: elbow as well. What about that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a sprain in the UCL area for him
Speaker 2: on his non-throwing arm, which makes it a little bit better,
Speaker 2: but as far as playing anytime soon, that's his lead
Speaker 2: arm in his swing, and it's unrealistic to think that
Speaker 2: it would be right after his 10-day stint on the IL.
Speaker 2: We'll see how much longer. In a little bit, I'll
Speaker 2: be based off, again, taking another look and kind of
Speaker 2: doing all the checks and balances you should when it's
Speaker 2: something that's relatively serious. But, again, the hope there in
Speaker 2: the more than likely scenarios, it's not as serious as
Speaker 2: it whizzes injury, but nonetheless some time to figure things
Speaker 2: out for Willie.
Speaker 1: All right. There are only 31 games left, so is
Speaker 1: it possible that he'll miss the rest of the year?
Speaker 2: It's not without reason to throw that out there, but
Speaker 2: I think you could flip the coin over and say
Speaker 2: the exact same thing. There could be, you know, a
Speaker 2: situation or set of circumstances that allows him to play,
Speaker 2: you know, at the end of the year before.
Speaker 1: It's all over.
Speaker 2: So we'll wait and see. That one's a little bit
Speaker 2: more of a gray area and a little bit more
Speaker 2: of a window of recovery and see where he's at
Speaker 2: after some time.
Speaker 1: All right. So, and a lot of very happy things
Speaker 1: that occurred in last night's game for the Giants, a
Speaker 1: 5-0 win over the Reds. We'll Talk about that a
Speaker 1: little bit when we continue. Now more 23-hour with the
Speaker 1: Giants manager, Tony Vitello, and we were talking about the
Speaker 1: bad news regarding Carson Wisenhunt. A lot of great news
Speaker 1: last night with several pitchers who were just outstanding. One
Speaker 1: of those was Jason Foley, who was activated earlier this year.
Speaker 1: He was coming back from his own surgery, and he's
Speaker 1: a guy you generally would use later in a game,
Speaker 1: but all of a sudden he had to be called
Speaker 1: upon uh rather unexpectedly there and man he was great
Speaker 1: because that was a big spot there were a couple
Speaker 1: of guys on and the cleanup hitter was at the
Speaker 1: plate when he came in.
Speaker 2: Yeah you know i asked him after the game if
Speaker 2: he had ever been in that situation before and he
Speaker 2: had not it's it's awkward you don't know what to
Speaker 2: take out of your routine what to shorten um what
Speaker 2: to lengthen because it's an all of a sudden thing
Speaker 2: and you got all eyes on you i think they
Speaker 2: should allow the guy to warm up in the bullpen
Speaker 2: and come out when he's ready um but you know
Speaker 2: you come out there you're on the game mound everyone's
Speaker 2: waiting for you to be ready so the game can restart.
Speaker 2: And then when the game does restart, you're inheriting first
Speaker 2: and third and a good hitter up at the plate.
Speaker 2: And he was outstanding in that situation, handled it well,
Speaker 2: and really kind of kept the game glued together for
Speaker 2: us and then went out there and picked up where
Speaker 2: he left off. The full inning for him was even better.
Speaker 1: Also, outstanding performance from Ryan Walker just back. And I
Speaker 1: know he'd been kind of lengthening it out a little bit,
Speaker 1: in the minor leagues, and it almost seemed like he
Speaker 1: was lengthening it out for a game just like last night,
Speaker 1: and man, he was great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't want to say miscues on the infield.
Speaker 2: A couple plays, just if you get the ideal situation
Speaker 2: or they're made a little more clean, he's got more
Speaker 2: outs or outs come quicker to him, so having said that,
Speaker 2: he even dealt with a little bit of adversity, but
Speaker 2: he really rolled through two innings, and the way things
Speaker 2: were lined up, I guess we still could have won,
Speaker 2: but We were talking in the dugout as soon as
Speaker 2: Wiz went down, like Walker was the guy who was fresh,
Speaker 2: and we were going to need him to carry the load,
Speaker 2: and getting us six outs was massive.
Speaker 1: All right, so it'll be Hauser up against Brady Singer
Speaker 1: and the Reds, game two of the series, and that's
Speaker 1: the Tony Vitello Show for today.
