Welcome to 16 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 3: the show, Tony v and the Giants first win of 17 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 3: the season. So Kype all good, all around, welcome back. 18 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 2: How are you a morning pipe? Yeah? Not just a win, 19 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 2: the win. The win that hard. That first of anything 20 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,479 Speaker 2: during the baseball season can sometimes be the hardest, whether 21 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 2: it's a hit, whether it's a save, whether it's a win, 22 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 2: whether it's a home run. And for Tony Vaytello. I mean, look, 23 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 2: he's three games into the season and he's thinking that. 24 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 2: You know, if we go oh, in one hundred and 25 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 2: sixty two, then we got a problem. But I think 26 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 2: everybody regrouped a little bit on the day off on Sunday. 27 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 2: Giants got into San Diego Saturday night, so they had 28 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 2: all day Sunday. I mean, we're literally attached to the 29 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 2: ballparks so players can go over. And Padres didn't play either, 30 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 2: so they had the whole stadium to themselves. I have 31 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 2: no idea what they did, but whatever they did, they 32 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 2: sure looked loose and relaxed when they took the field, 33 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 2: and that always helps. Look, you get you get your 34 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 2: first home run, and you get two two out base 35 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 2: hits to knock in the second and third run in 36 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 2: those two hits games from two guys that were aero 37 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 2: for nine. Yeah, so you walk away with a win 38 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 2: and you realize that, you know, that Yankee series was 39 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 2: a series where they couldn't get that hit. They come 40 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 2: in here, they get that hit, and everybody goes home happy. 41 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, they've lost nine straight to the Yankees and San Francisco. 42 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 3: I'm just gonna go ahead and call that a bad matchup, 43 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 3: get them out and get another team in here the 44 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 3: padres so Kype, I want to jump to the end. 45 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 3: I know, I want to get to Rupe and Walker 46 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 3: and Schmidt and all those guys, Bailey Bader, But get 47 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,959 Speaker 3: to the end. Did you get a chance after you 48 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 3: left the booth to see Tony V or anybody from 49 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 3: the party after the game. I'd love to hear any 50 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 3: postgame anecdotes or color you have. 51 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, look, I know that they did their 52 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 2: traditional thing. They threw them in a laundry car art 53 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 2: and you know, did all the stuff that you do 54 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 2: if you're in a fraternity. But they've been doing that, 55 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 2: you know, for years with a guy that gets his 56 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 2: first win or guy that hits his first home run. 57 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,799 Speaker 2: So that that all happened while we were still doing 58 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 2: the postgame rap. On our way out, David and I 59 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 2: stopped into the clubhouse when he went to his office, 60 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 2: and uh, and he had just really gotten finished with 61 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 2: h talking to the media, and you know, his hair 62 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 2: was wet because he had all this stuff in it. 63 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 2: He didn't have any shoes on, so he was kind 64 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 2: of walking around like he just come from the beach 65 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 2: and he was really happy, super super happy, and and 66 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 2: you could tell that this took a little weight off 67 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 2: his shoulders. And I told him, I said, I asked him, 68 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 2: I said, what's your what's your drink of choice? And 69 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 2: he said, well, he said then I said no, I said, seriously, 70 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 2: I said, I got nothing to do today. I'm going 71 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 2: to go to one of the good liquor stories here 72 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 2: and I'll buy you something that you like. And he said, well, 73 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 2: I'm kind of a whiskey guy. I said, right, Well, 74 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 2: that's all I need to know. So that's my job. 75 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 2: Today is a little bit of a celebration for him. 76 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 2: And he was a happy dude, let me tell you. 77 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 2: But I mean nothing real earth shattering or exciting. But 78 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 2: Dave and I really felt like we needed to go 79 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 2: in there and shake his hand. 80 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, you can find him some good Tennessee whiskey to 81 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 4: celebrate his first win in the big leagues. 82 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 1: But Kaipi actually wanted to go back. 83 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 4: A couple of days after one of the losses against 84 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 4: the Yankees, he said, there was a lot of emotion 85 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 4: and a lot of try hard in the clubhouse, So 86 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 4: maybe was there not just additional pressure on Tony Vitello 87 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 4: to get his first wing. 88 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: Do you feel like maybe there was. 89 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 4: Additional pressure on the team to get Tony Vitello his 90 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 4: first win, and maybe there's pressure being relieved not just 91 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 4: from the manager but now the entire ball club moving forward. 92 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean, I think you're right on all accounts. 93 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 2: I mean, look, that win can be so hard to get, 94 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 2: and then when you get it, you realize that the 95 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:15,239 Speaker 2: wind really affected everybody, from the players to the starting 96 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 2: pitcher to the guy who got to save, to the 97 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 2: You know, our fans are fans that are here, are 98 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 2: fans that are listening, fans that are watching, and then 99 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 2: of course when wherever Tony Vitello goes, it's all about 100 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 2: the fact that he he's never been in pro ball 101 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 2: and he doesn't have a win, you know, so you 102 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 2: got to you got to clean that up right away 103 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 2: if you can. And unfortunately they couldn't do it at home. 104 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 2: But for the longest time this was their second home. 105 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,799 Speaker 2: Not so much now. I mean we had another crowd 106 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 2: of over forty thousand. I mean, they're drawing big time here. 107 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 2: But but it's a long winded answer to yeah, you're 108 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 2: right on all accounts. It was big for everybody. 109 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 3: Let's talk about the closer, because that's what all the 110 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,559 Speaker 3: Texters want to talk about today. You know, Ryan Walker 111 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 3: went into this year not with a one hundred percent certainty. 112 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 3: We were saying Giants fans going into the season, We're like, oh, man, 113 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:17,119 Speaker 3: I don't know about the closer. 114 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: I don't know about the closer. 115 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 3: And the Giants didn't necessarily say one thousand percent that 116 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 3: he was. I think Tony V had been on record 117 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 3: saying is he will use the guy he thinks he's right. 118 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: He said, I know Miller can do it. I know 119 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: Walker can do it. 120 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 3: So he went with Ryan Walker last night and there 121 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 3: was two stories to it, okay. The one was he 122 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 3: got it done, they won the game. The other was 123 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 3: he walked the leadoff hitter and gave up a home run. 124 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 3: He almost hit a guy too, and quite frankly, got 125 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 3: a little break when Fernando Tetsis didn't challenge what should 126 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,919 Speaker 3: have been ball three. So your reaction, I guess my 127 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 3: question to you is do you feel like the closer. 128 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: Role is still a little. 129 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 3: Bit situational or do you think they want to make 130 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 3: Ryan Walker that guy? 131 00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: And if so, what did you think of last night. 132 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 2: Well he'll close tonight. I mean I think, uh, you know, look, 133 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 2: if you go back in at ninetheenning, yeah, you shouldn't 134 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 2: walk the leadoff guy, but then you can't walk another guy. 135 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 2: So he has to really throw a fat pitch to 136 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 2: Jackson Merrill, and if he hits it out, he hits 137 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 2: it out, you still got the lead. You can't walk him. 138 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 2: So look, yeah, I mean in a lot of ways, 139 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 2: I'm not that surprised that that Meryl hit a home run. 140 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 2: He was gonna get something fat to hit, so you know, 141 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 2: he did what he needed to do. And you always 142 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 2: hope that that pitch the guy is gonna pop it up. 143 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 2: Instead he knocks it out of the park. And now 144 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 2: now you got you know, you got another guy coming 145 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 2: up in Bogarts who can tie it up with one swing. 146 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 2: So look, the closer rope may be a work in 147 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 2: progress all year. I mean, if you got a couple 148 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 2: other guys down there that that, look, they get a 149 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 2: shot to do it, and Walker's failing a little bit. Yeah, 150 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 2: I mean, the job's open. But I mean, look, if 151 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 2: you've got Dennis Eckers league, you know, you got Trevor Hoffman, 152 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 2: you know, you don't worry about that spot in the 153 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 2: ninth Indian, But Darren's that many guys around like that, 154 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 2: so that spot is always going to be open, and 155 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 2: it's always open on a lot of different teams, not 156 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 2: just this one. 157 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 4: Ryan Walker closed out the game last night, but it 158 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,719 Speaker 4: was Landing Roupe who was back on the bump at 159 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 4: the big, theigue level for the first time that we've 160 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 4: seen him, Kype, since last August when his season ended, 161 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 4: taking that line drive off his knee. 162 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 1: And I got to say, maybe that was. 163 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 4: One of the best outings we've seen from Landing Roope, 164 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 4: just when it comes to mixing up his pitches, the 165 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 4: usage of his change up, the usage of adding a cutter. 166 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 4: Now as well, Kype, what was your breakdown of seeing 167 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 4: Landon Roope back out there for the first time in 168 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 4: quite a while. 169 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 2: Well, first of all, do you know where he threw 170 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 2: his last pitch last year? Yeah? Right there, right here 171 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 2: on that mound. Yeah, so you know he's going out 172 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 2: there thinking, you know, this is not the greatest place 173 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 2: in the world for me. Now, look, he may not 174 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 2: have been thinking that at all. He may have been 175 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 2: thinking about what he needed to do, and he was 176 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 2: great you know, we see him throw I mean, he 177 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 2: loves to throw that big curveball and and I think 178 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 2: the league, you know, starts to sit on that. And 179 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 2: he didn't throw it that much. He threw a lot 180 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 2: of changeups and cutters and and then of course each strikes. 181 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 2: Of the five starters the Giants have, he's the one 182 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:48,439 Speaker 2: guy that's got some Madison Bumgarner in him and they 183 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 2: need that. And if he had three or four more 184 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 2: years under his belt, you would see more of Madison 185 00:09:55,679 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 2: Bumgarner in him. And it's going to happen, and that's 186 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 2: a good thing. So good for him. I mean, he 187 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 2: threw his tail off last night and it was great 188 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 2: because you could see that he's definitely bounced back from 189 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 2: the injury that he had last year. I mean, this 190 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 2: guy's a limit. For this guy not just stay healthy, 191 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 2: and that's what the staff is going to have to 192 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 2: do to make sure that he does stay healthy. 193 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 3: It was a huge outing in so many ways, you know, 194 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 3: for him to bounce back from the injury, for the 195 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 3: Giants getting off the schneide, for him to do it 196 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 3: to a division rival on the road, I mean, it 197 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 3: was just an awesome performance by him. But man, everybody 198 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 3: breathed easier on the offensive side when Harrison Bader left 199 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 3: the yard. Guype, and did you have Harrison Bader in 200 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 3: your pool as the first Giant to Homer. 201 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 2: No, I endeavors. Yeah, you know, And look, that's that's 202 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 2: probably an easy choice. But when you get into one 203 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 2: of those pools, it's probably not going to be the 204 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 2: guys you think, you know, it's it's going to be 205 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 2: Schmid or John hoo Lee or Vader or Patrick Bailey 206 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 2: right towards the bottom of the order. But I don't 207 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 2: know if you had a chance to stand next to 208 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 2: Harrison Vader. 209 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, we did in Scottsdale. 210 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 2: He's sick. 211 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,559 Speaker 1: He's got one of the more unique builds in Giants history. 212 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 2: Really, he is sick for a guy that moves like 213 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 2: a dancer in center field. Uh so, it's going to 214 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 2: be fun to watch him all year. Another guy that 215 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 2: you got to keep on the field if you can't. 216 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,439 Speaker 2: He's got a little bit of an edge, you know. 217 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 2: And I told you guys when the Giants signed him 218 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 2: that when he first came up with the Cardinals, I 219 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 2: hated him. I mean he did all this stuff at 220 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 2: second when he got a double and yeah, no, no, 221 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 2: and I thought, you know this guy, you can have him. Well, 222 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 2: I'm glad. I'm glad they got him now because he 223 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 2: needs a little it is. You know, sometimes a couple 224 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 2: of edge, you guys, is not a bad thing. And 225 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 2: although he hasn't shown any of that, but you know, look, 226 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 2: they've only played four games, so he's got plenty of 227 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 2: opportunity to tick off the other team. 228 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 4: Okay, four games into the season, we've already seen Tony 229 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 4: Votello shake up the lineup a few times. Luisa Rises 230 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 4: bounced around from the leadoff spot to the three hold 231 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 4: to hitting clean up yesterday. Willie Domas was in the 232 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 4: lineup hitting lead off yesterday. Has there been anything that 233 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 4: has really stood out to you or maybe guys you 234 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 4: like in certain spots the first four games of the season. 235 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 2: I don't know. You guys can look back at this 236 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 2: and I may be wrong, but I don't think any 237 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 2: of the four extra guys have gotten it bad. 238 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: You are correct sir. 239 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 2: I mean I know that we've had a pinch runner 240 00:12:54,920 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 2: in Oli and that's it. So I mean, look, you're 241 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 2: gonna play nine, all right. If you're gonna play nine, 242 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 2: then the only way that you can mess around with 243 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 2: the lineup is to move guys in different spots and 244 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 2: and basically that's that's all we did. And you know 245 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 2: it could be important. I mean, so he puts a 246 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 2: Damis in the leadoff spot. You know, Now you got 247 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 2: to come up with a reason why. And in a 248 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 2: lot of times, the reason why is because we want 249 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 2: to change things. And uh, and you know, look, they 250 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 2: got to win. Now did the lineup have anything to 251 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 2: do with it? You know, who knows. But you gotta 252 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 2: figure that Susak is going to get a start within 253 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 2: one of the next two games. Uh. You know, you 254 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 2: just don't want to wear out Bailey, you know in March. Uh. 255 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 2: And you know, and he's not a guy that's gonna 256 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 2: wear out. I mean, he could play for a while, 257 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 2: but you can't let these guys on the bench sit 258 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 2: because otherwise they go superstill. I mean, you're gonna go 259 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 2: stale when you don't play, but then you're gonna go 260 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 2: super stale. So I think you're probably gonna see some 261 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 2: changes in the next couple of days only to get 262 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 2: those guys I feel like they're part of the team 263 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 2: and it's really important you do that. 264 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Dan Susak. 265 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 3: They have a day game Wednesday, maybe he'd do the 266 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 3: day game after the night game. Jared Olivia did pinch 267 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 3: run Gerar and Kanassio and we haven't seen him. Christian 268 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 3: cost we haven't seen Marcus had a great line because 269 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 3: we said it's interesting Gerar, I guess there's one of 270 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 3: the guys who spoke to the clubhouse after the game. 271 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 3: Marcus said he has more postgame speeches than at bats 272 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 3: this year, So it's kind of funny. 273 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 2: Well, do you need a spokesman and you need one 274 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 2: in English? 275 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: And there you go, there you go. 276 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 2: And you know what, you need one in Kouran too. 277 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: Yes, that's right, we do. I know young Tony's got his. 278 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 3: A great question for you coming up, But just last 279 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 3: one is Keaton winning the eighth inning? 280 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: Always like a good eighth inning. 281 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 3: Guy, going back to my nineteen ninety three Mike Jackson, 282 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 3: I was like a good eighth inning guy, you know, 283 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 3: and I know it's. 284 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: Only one inning, but he you know he might be hired. 285 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 2: Was Mike Jackson good? 286 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: Or what give me Mike jack with a lipper right now? 287 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: Right now? Take him tonight? 288 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 2: Nasty by Jackson? Incredible, Uh, and you know what, Keaton 289 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 2: win was nasty last night too, and you know, look, 290 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 2: I know it was the bottom of the order. That's 291 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 2: fine big league hitters, and uh and he man, he 292 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 2: disposed those three guys bang bang bang. Uh. So again 293 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 2: keep him on the field and uh and if that's 294 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 2: his inning, then you know, run him out there and 295 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 2: until you know he you know, he doesn't feel comfortable 296 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 2: doing it anymore. And he may be a guy that 297 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 2: could be in that eightning, you know, forever. He's got 298 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 2: that good of stuff. So you know, he almost forgot 299 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 2: about Keaton wins. And then he shows up healthy and spinting, 300 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 2: and you realize that you really had something with him 301 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 2: when he was healthy and uh and we saw it 302 00:15:58,560 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 2: last night for sure. 303 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: And we'll see again tonight. All right, is that time 304 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: for Young Tony? 305 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 3: On Wednesdays at seven fifteen, he asks us the questions 306 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 3: of the week. But when Kype comes on, he's got 307 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 3: one final question. What did young Tony ask Kype? 308 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: Today? Let's do it all right, Kype? 309 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 4: Tony ve got his first win as a big league 310 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 4: manager last night. For you, as a player, do you 311 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 4: have any good stories about your first memorable win? 312 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 2: Well? You know. Unfortunately, I wish I would have been 313 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 2: in Cleveland in nineteen seventy five for their opener because 314 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 2: that was Frank Robinson's first day. Is a is a 315 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 2: black manager in Cleveland and he hits a home run 316 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 2: because he was a player manager, I missed it, you know, 317 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 2: I was in triple A. My first memory, and I 318 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 2: think I've told this story before, is being introduced on 319 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 2: opening day as you run out to the foul lines 320 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 2: to stand and you know, you look good. I mean 321 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 2: you you make sure that that full length mirror is 322 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 2: in full use before you run out onto the onto 323 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,640 Speaker 2: the first baseline, and I did. I mean I had 324 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 2: everything lined up tight, you know, hair, looking good, and 325 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 2: uh so, you know, they introduced you. I got introduced first, 326 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 2: I was leading off, and then Rick Manning got introduced, 327 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 2: and then Buddy Bell and you know, on and on 328 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 2: and on. So now they introduced the extra players and 329 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 2: we got we got seventy thousand people. So now they 330 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 2: introduced Dennis Acres League, and you talk about looking real good. 331 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 2: Eck was looking real good. You know, he had the 332 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 2: long hair and oh my god, and he was he 333 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 2: was nineteen maybe twenty, and he takes one step out 334 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 2: of the dug out and he falls on his face. 335 00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 2: Come on, eck, come on and all of us. You know, look, 336 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,120 Speaker 2: it's opening day. You're kind of tight. We weren't tight 337 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 2: after that.
