WEBVTT - 8-20 The Tony V Show

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Giants Guardians the finale. Good morning to you. I'm John

0:00:03.520 --> 0:00:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Miller with Giants manager Tony Bicello and Tony last night.

0:00:09.560 --> 0:00:12.400
<v Speaker 1>What a game that was for the Giants and Vici

0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:15.200
<v Speaker 1>barr Koco kind of took over an inning. There so

0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:17.959
<v Speaker 1>many people contributed, but he's the one who knocked in

0:00:18.000 --> 0:00:19.400
<v Speaker 1>the run with the two out of head and then

0:00:19.480 --> 0:00:21.680
<v Speaker 1>he saved a couple of runs with a diving catch

0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:22.400
<v Speaker 1>in the same inning.

0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:24.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was a tremendous effort out of him and

0:00:25.040 --> 0:00:27.000
<v Speaker 2>just a great game. Afterwards, I was kind of going

0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:30.120
<v Speaker 2>back to the locker room and my first instinct was like,

0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:31.920
<v Speaker 2>what a fun game. But then I thought about it

0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:34.040
<v Speaker 2>and I was like, that wasn't fun at all. It

0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:37.199
<v Speaker 2>was every moment was stressful, and that inning defines it.

0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:39.040
<v Speaker 3>He barely makes a catch.

0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:41.280
<v Speaker 2>He got a stressful ending going on with two guys on,

0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:44.440
<v Speaker 2>but inches make the difference, and he made a great

0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:46.199
<v Speaker 2>diving catch and then same thing.

0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:47.519
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't a ball he hammered.

0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:50.280
<v Speaker 2>It was, you know, just well enough hit into the

0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:52.920
<v Speaker 2>sixth hole that it got us one run and that

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:55.320
<v Speaker 2>ends up being the difference in a you know, tightly

0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:56.120
<v Speaker 2>contested game.

0:00:56.400 --> 0:01:00.440
<v Speaker 1>I from upstairs. On the catch that he made off

0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:02.360
<v Speaker 1>the bat, I thought, well, that's a hit. Then I

0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:05.600
<v Speaker 1>was desponding out there, and then all of a sudden

0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:07.320
<v Speaker 1>he makes the cag How did it look from where

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:07.640
<v Speaker 1>you were?

0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:10.959
<v Speaker 2>The first reaction was dang it, because it would have

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:12.920
<v Speaker 2>taken a sports center play out of a sabby, but

0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:15.120
<v Speaker 2>we could have been out of the inning. You know,

0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:17.880
<v Speaker 2>a ground ball gets hit with two outs and you think,

0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:20.880
<v Speaker 2>man howser's cruising, and next thing you know, it's back

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:24.000
<v Speaker 2>to back hits and here comes, you know, another good swing.

0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:27.080
<v Speaker 2>And the first reaction for me was the same thing

0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:29.040
<v Speaker 2>was damn it. You know, here's at least a run

0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:31.560
<v Speaker 2>and this inning is going to continue on. Next thing

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:33.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, he goes flying into the air and making

0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 2>a catch similar to what he made it Oracle, And

0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:36.960
<v Speaker 2>then there was one at Oracle.

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:38.679
<v Speaker 3>He went a little bit towards the line.

0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:41.800
<v Speaker 2>He seems to have done very well throwing the baseball

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:43.240
<v Speaker 2>and making that play coming in.

0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:45.559
<v Speaker 3>I think, like all of our outfielders, if we can.

0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:48.760
<v Speaker 2>Get these guys more reps and more comfortable around the

0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:52.480
<v Speaker 2>outfield wall, they can take a step further in their development.

0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:54.280
<v Speaker 3>But right now it's just fun to have.

0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:56.800
<v Speaker 2>Vic out there every other day, every couple of days

0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 2>and see him grown.

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>The game ends up with Dylan Smith comeing in and

0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:06.840
<v Speaker 1>he inherits a runner and immediately throws a wild pitch and.

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, oh my god, here we go.

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 1>I did. But then he gave one of the great

0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:15.840
<v Speaker 1>performances late in the game of two innings, say five strikeout,

0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 1>and he struck out the side with that runner a

0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:18.800
<v Speaker 1>second in the eighth inning.

0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:21.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean that was a true save situation. And

0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:24.799
<v Speaker 2>I guess at some point we'll like name a closer.

0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:25.960
<v Speaker 2>That's a little foreign to me.

0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 3>I don't you know.

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:28.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't see why you've got to put yourself in

0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:31.760
<v Speaker 2>a box. You do do definitely have a If you

0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.200
<v Speaker 2>had a preference, you want a guy that is consistently

0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:37.560
<v Speaker 2>your ninth inning guy, you know. But for him, there's

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:40.160
<v Speaker 2>some flexibility, And we saw the eighth inning as a

0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:44.280
<v Speaker 2>potential save opportunity, and it became that when he threw

0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:46.000
<v Speaker 2>the ball in the dirt, he throws.

0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.119
<v Speaker 3>Every pitch with conviction. And you know, he's young.

0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:51.720
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes it's wilder or it's in the dirt, but you know,

0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:55.120
<v Speaker 2>leaving that running runner strand at second was awesome, and

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:56.959
<v Speaker 2>then just a total body of work.

0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:57.480
<v Speaker 3>Look at it.

0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:00.200
<v Speaker 2>Any saving the big leagues is difficult to get. A

0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.760
<v Speaker 2>two inning save is incredibly difficult. On the road is

0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:05.200
<v Speaker 2>even more. And then just a one run gap. So

0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:07.120
<v Speaker 2>you put it all into one, it's about as difficult

0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 2>as you can.

0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Get, right, Giants, Guardians. We'll talk about today's game, the

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:13.840
<v Speaker 1>rubber match of this series when we continue now more

0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.760
<v Speaker 1>twenty three hour with the skipper of the Giants, Tony Icannel,

0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:20.120
<v Speaker 1>and today Landon Roope shakes the hill and he's up

0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.480
<v Speaker 1>against a very strong right hand and one of the

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:26.000
<v Speaker 1>best for the Guardians, Gavin Williams. What can you tell

0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:26.919
<v Speaker 1>us about Williams?

0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:30.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean Gavin's Parker Massek and Gavin are there

0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:31.240
<v Speaker 2>are two guys they've.

0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:33.640
<v Speaker 3>Had all year long that are there guys.

0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:36.360
<v Speaker 2>And you know, talking with Stephen Boat, he's going to

0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:40.040
<v Speaker 2>be given a long lease. So it really becomes kind

0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:42.680
<v Speaker 2>of what our season has been, how well do we

0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:46.400
<v Speaker 2>do against the starter? And Cleveland's bullpen is so good,

0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 2>so you know you've got ninety to one hundred pitches

0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:51.800
<v Speaker 2>in front of you to compete against this guy. We

0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:54.400
<v Speaker 2>really need to make our mark and our lineup is

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:58.880
<v Speaker 2>he's been very neutral, consistent, consistently good against righty's and lefties.

0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:00.680
<v Speaker 2>But we've got a lot of lefties in the lineup,

0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:03.280
<v Speaker 2>so that's kind of the game within the game is

0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:06.520
<v Speaker 2>how can our left handers do against Williams, who's got

0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:09.640
<v Speaker 2>a pretty good arsenal. Like I said, against righty's and lefties.

0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:12.800
<v Speaker 1>In the lineup today, one of those lefties, Turner Hill,

0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:15.160
<v Speaker 1>we could kind of pinch it double the other night.

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:18.120
<v Speaker 1>He's got a big rooting section here, maybe more in

0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:21.400
<v Speaker 1>the stands for this series than even in San Francisco,

0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:23.080
<v Speaker 1>where he had forty tickets left.

0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:24.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think it was a lot more than forty

0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.480
<v Speaker 3>the other night. And we'll be today here.

0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, Mariette is a couple hours from here, but

0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:34.040
<v Speaker 2>from this area, and it's good to consistently kind of

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 2>keep those guys rotating. I think we'll be able to

0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:38.600
<v Speaker 2>keep our outfielders fresh from here on out.

0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:40.720
<v Speaker 3>We got a lot of game, especially when you're.

0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:43.880
<v Speaker 2>Throwing that extra braves game, but also try and go

0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:46.920
<v Speaker 2>for favorable matchups or at the very least put guys

0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:49.560
<v Speaker 2>in a position to succeed. And you know, today he's

0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:51.599
<v Speaker 2>in a good spot to show his family and friends

0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:52.080
<v Speaker 2>what he can do.

0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:56.520
<v Speaker 1>Williadmas back? Is he fully healthy from that?

0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:58.360
<v Speaker 3>That back problem is you know, if.

0:04:58.240 --> 0:04:59.400
<v Speaker 1>You look pretty good at the plane.

0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:00.719
<v Speaker 3>No, he did. He swung it well.

0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:02.719
<v Speaker 2>I think part of that is being fresh of mind

0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:05.800
<v Speaker 2>and fresh of body. But I think we'd be overextending

0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:08.279
<v Speaker 2>ourselves if we said he was one hundred percent or

0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:11.599
<v Speaker 2>even close to that. If you ask him, he's just

0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:15.239
<v Speaker 2>gonna say I'm good. But I tried to watch pretty closely,

0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:18.039
<v Speaker 2>and he made an incredible play going up the middle.

0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:20.800
<v Speaker 2>He had a base stolen, it ended up being strike three,

0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:22.360
<v Speaker 2>and he had the hits.

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:24.080
<v Speaker 3>So he's moving quick.

0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:27.160
<v Speaker 2>He's playing well. But I do think it's something that

0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:29.840
<v Speaker 2>we'll try and keep a close eye on and something

0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:32.120
<v Speaker 2>that we'll try and pry the honesty out of him

0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:34.640
<v Speaker 2>on how he feels. But I think he's playing out there,

0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:37.240
<v Speaker 2>grinding through probably some discomfort.

0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Giants, Guardians, the finale, the rubber match, and that's the

0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:44.520
<v Speaker 1>Tony Bicello Show for today.
