1 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:03,880 Speaker 1: There's no question we got the best in the group. 2 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 1: That's why Murf and Marcus catch up with Kruk right now, 3 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,639 Speaker 1: right now on K and d R one oh, four, 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:16,119 Speaker 1: five and six am, sponsored by Big Alot, Grab a 5 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,119 Speaker 1: Mug and te Proud Boy. 6 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 2: It's been great having Mike and Dwayne back in our lives, 7 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 2: hearing them do a Giants Padres game on a Tuesday night. 8 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,319 Speaker 2: It's just what we need, especially when the Giants score 9 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 2: nine runs on sixteen hits and when Logan Webb guts 10 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 2: out six innings, crests over one hundred pitches, Tony v 11 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 2: showing us a little bit about his managerial style. So 12 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 2: much to talk about with Mike, by the way, if 13 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 2: you need more. One ten Today, Adrian Hauser makes his 14 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 2: debut as a Giant against Nick Pavetta. Giants try to 15 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 2: go for the sweep, which is kind of amazing. So Mike, 16 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 2: a million things to talk about. First of all, good 17 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,520 Speaker 2: morning to you on the UMA guest line. 18 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 3: How you doing, Mike, Hey morn to Mike. 19 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 4: Well, I couldn't be doing any better. I mean when 20 00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 4: they rolling three, I was scuttling, but you know they've 21 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 4: turned things around with that three to two winn and 22 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 4: then last night, I mean it was free the hostages 23 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 4: with the offense statement. They got it going, and you 24 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 4: know what they got. They got a few blue pits. 25 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 4: They didn't get any of it when they're playing the Yankees. 26 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 4: And it really gets back to, you know, the old 27 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 4: thing in baseball, where you know, you have to have 28 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 4: some seeing ground balls get through the infield, some broken 29 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 4: bad hits, some infield singles that you don't hit very well. 30 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 4: I mean, you just have to have brakes to make 31 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 4: it roll. And last night it happened. And now, I 32 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 4: mean there's just I mean, the attitude in the clubhouse 33 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 4: now is it's like the Yankee series never happened. So 34 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 4: I think everybody who follows this club feels a whole 35 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:40,119 Speaker 4: lot better. 36 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 2: Now, Oh, you're right against the Yankees, hard hit balls 37 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 2: turned into double plays, and last night a couple of 38 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,839 Speaker 2: bloops fell. But let's start with your area of expertise, 39 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 2: and that's starting pitching right handed, Giant starting pitching. Wow, 40 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 2: what an an interesting night for logan webs. So it 41 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 2: comes off there's so many different angles to approach Mike 42 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 2: bouncing back from the Yankee start. 43 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 3: Okay, that was number one still. 44 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 2: Trying to maybe, I don't know, you'll get used to 45 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 2: the regular season after the WBC. That's angle number two. 46 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 2: And then the bad inning in the third inning, the 47 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 2: two walks, a couple of knocks, and how Tony Vee 48 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 2: and he fought their way through through six innings. What 49 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 2: was the most interesting angle for you? 50 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 4: Well, there's a lot of things that we saw last night. 51 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 4: I mean, number one, it gives you an idea of 52 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 4: just how far Logan Web has come, how he has 53 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 4: evolved as a pitcher. And you know, every day you 54 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 4: get to the bullpark and you have a start, I mean, 55 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 4: you don't know what's going to show up. You you 56 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 4: don't know what kind of fastball you're gonna have. You 57 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 4: don't know what kind of fastball command you're going to have. 58 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 4: And a lot of times when you're out there warming 59 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 4: up the book and what you have in the book 60 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,519 Speaker 4: and doesn't carry on to the field. So it's all 61 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 4: just sort of identifying the just And there are certain 62 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 4: days where you're going to have a field of all 63 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 4: your pitches and it's going to be easy. But then 64 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 4: there's other days where you're going to struggle. And last 65 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 4: he struggled with his command. I mean he was behind 66 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 4: him the count early, a lot, saw a lot of 67 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 4: three ball counts. You look at his life six innings, 68 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 4: just three hits allowed and the strikes out five you're thinking, 69 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 4: well he was great, Well he wasn't. What he was 70 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 4: really great at was being able to make what he 71 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 4: had work. And you know, the one thing about you know, 72 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 4: being Logan web now is that he's had a lot 73 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 4: of success. He's done just about everything in the game. 74 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,679 Speaker 4: So he's never going to panic when he's in the 75 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 4: middle of a start. He have had that start his 76 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 4: first year. I don't think he would have got out 77 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 4: of third inning. But now it's like, Okay, every pitch 78 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 4: you throw, identifying a just what am I doing wrong? 79 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 4: How can I What do I have that I can command? 80 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 4: What do I have that I can rely on? And 81 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 4: that's kind of how he went about it. He was 82 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 4: up in the in the strike zone a lot. He 83 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 4: gave the parts more hit able location pitches than I've 84 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 4: seen him give a team, maybe even ever. But yeah, 85 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 4: he walks out the winner and his two best innings 86 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 4: were the fifth and sixth when he faces Tatiz and 87 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 4: Machado and Merril the guy who just owns him and 88 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 4: he strikes out the side. I just thought that was 89 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 4: just brilliant. And then he comes back in the sixth 90 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 4: inning when it's pitch ten is high and he has 91 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 4: a real fishing inning. He gets three ground balls, see 92 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 4: you later. So I thought it was a real exercise 93 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 4: in mental toughness, a real exercise in his innocent knowledge 94 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 4: as to how to handle different situations and how to 95 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,119 Speaker 4: make something work when you don't really have a whole lot. 96 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 4: And that's what pitchers do, and and I was really impressive. 97 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 4: And you know what, it'll it'll be a feather in 98 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 4: his cap as he goes forth because he'll be able 99 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 4: to feel that he'll be able to figure out no 100 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 4: matter what type of start he has. And that was 101 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 4: just you know that. I think that was the story 102 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 4: of the night, Mike. 103 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 5: I think it also showed his ability to make in 104 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 5: game adjustments after the game. At his postgame pressor, he 105 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 5: spoke openly about maybe tweaking some of his mechanics before 106 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 5: that fifth inning. So was there anything you noticed early 107 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 5: on with his mechanics that were off and there? And 108 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 5: was there anything you noticed in that fifth and in 109 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 5: that sixthitting from Logan web last night. 110 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 4: Well, I noticed that is uh where he was missing 111 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 4: was used. It was the same line. It was out 112 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 4: away from a right handed hit her up and into 113 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 4: a lefty that uh. And it was not really that close. 114 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,919 Speaker 4: It was about eight inches from the strike zone. And 115 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 4: that's a big miss for him. Now, I made a 116 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 4: point out of on the broadcast last night, if you 117 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 4: take a look at where he starts on the rubber, 118 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 4: he's really way over on the extreme first day side 119 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 4: of the rubber. And I bet half's foot isn't even 120 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 4: touching the rubber. And you know a lot of young pictures, 121 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 4: you know, they find a spot like that and there's 122 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 4: you know, it's a suggestion that is given to them 123 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 4: by the by their pitching coach because of the movement 124 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 4: on their fastball and uh. And it has served him well, 125 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 4: but there are nights you're not to be able to 126 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 4: get the release and count on it. And with him, 127 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 4: there was a consistency in his misses. Well, that's a 128 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 4: good thing what I learned to do because I again 129 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 4: started the same way that he did when I was young. 130 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 4: I learned to start the game in the middle of 131 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 4: the rubber. So if I had a night where I 132 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 4: was missing in one spot, I could move my foot 133 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 4: on the rubber towards the first base side or towards 134 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 4: the third base side, given where my consistent miss was. 135 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 4: And that may be something as he goes forth he 136 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 4: may do. He may start to position his foot at 137 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 4: the start of the game more towards the middle of 138 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 4: the rubber. So if he has a night last night 139 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 4: like last night, where he's missing in one consistent spot 140 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 4: and it's not the strike zone, that you can move 141 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 4: your foot on the rubber and move your release point over. 142 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 4: It's just a trick and it's just something you learn 143 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 4: along the way, and it served me well. But you know, 144 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 4: in regards to how he did it last night without 145 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 4: moving his foot, you know, you change your sights. You know, 146 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 4: your targets isn't to the glove out over the strike zone. 147 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 4: Maybe your target is uh, you know, at uh you 148 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 4: aim for the right handed hitter his hands that oftentimes 149 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 4: will get you back into the strike zone and then 150 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 4: you can make your adjustments from there. So whatever he 151 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 4: did worked. It took him a while, and uh, you know, 152 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 4: I credit the offense for giving him a little cushion 153 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 4: with that four run lead and he used up all 154 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 4: of it, but he made he made a go of it, 155 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 4: and that thought that that's what what you have to 156 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 4: learn to do when your partential, you make whatever you 157 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 4: have work. I'm at given day, It's not always going 158 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 4: to be the same. It's always going to be a 159 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 4: little bit of a puzzle, and last night he solved it. 160 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 5: Mike, just the follow up on logan web maybe changing 161 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 5: his sight in his target. One thing that stood out 162 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 5: to me in that fifth inning it looked like during 163 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 5: his gather step on his wind up, he actually broke 164 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 5: his concentration from staring at Patrick Bailey's glove to looking 165 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 5: down at the rubber to maybe concentrate a little bit 166 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 5: or maybe get his mechanics in order just talk to 167 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 5: us about that strategy of not staring down a glove 168 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 5: and maybe picking up that target late to maybe readjust 169 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 5: your mechanics. 170 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 4: Well, I think one thing that he does before every game, 171 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 4: and it feels good to him, he plays catch the football. 172 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 4: And you know, when you play catch with the football, 173 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 4: you do one thing. After you throw the ball, you 174 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 4: watch it. You take your eyes off the target, you 175 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 4: watch the spiral of the football. And the thing in 176 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 4: baseball is when you're a pitcher, or when you're a 177 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 4: player for that matter, every time that you throw the ball, 178 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 4: you want to pick up a target if you want 179 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 4: to throw it to and you don't ever take your 180 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 4: eyes off the target, not even after you throw in 181 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 4: the ball. So there's that much of a difference in 182 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,079 Speaker 4: the release of a football and a baseball. And I 183 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 4: think to a degree for your logan web when he 184 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 4: was swarming up and he was throwing the football and 185 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 4: he was watching the football, I think he may have 186 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 4: done that watching the baseball, which is a real easy 187 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 4: thing to fall into and it can really have it 188 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 4: can recapct with with your release, and I think a 189 00:08:54,600 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 4: way to to correct that is again I'm not sure 190 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 4: if this is how he did it, but I'm suggesting 191 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 4: it could have been. When you start your motion, you 192 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,319 Speaker 4: go down, you watch your foot, and then you pick 193 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,559 Speaker 4: up your target. It makes you easy, It makes it 194 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 4: a little bit easier for you to pick up your 195 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 4: target late and then keep your eyes on the target 196 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 4: and then get you back in to where your head 197 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 4: is still and your release point is you follow through 198 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,559 Speaker 4: and finished with it. Three really great throwing skills and 199 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 4: for all the coaches out there are teaching the amateur 200 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 4: baseball and lit league baseball. They're just the three basic 201 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 4: ABC's of playing catch. When you play catch, Number one, 202 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 4: you pick up a target with your eyes and you 203 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 4: throw without ever looking at the ball. You keep your 204 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,719 Speaker 4: eyes on the target. Number two, you don't throw an 205 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 4: arc to your target. You throw through your target. You 206 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 4: imagine that the if you're a pitcher, that the that 207 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 4: the hitter is a pane of glass that goes right 208 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 4: in front of home plate and the strike zone. Then 209 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 4: you look at the catcher and you imagine him being 210 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 4: a pane of glass, and then you see the umpire 211 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 4: behind him, and that's a pane of glass. You imagine 212 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 4: three panes of glass, and your job as a pitcher 213 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 4: is to try and break all three of those panes. 214 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 4: And what that gets you to do is to throw 215 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 4: through your target. And it's a mistake that everybody makes 216 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 4: when they start playing catches because they throw these big 217 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 4: arcs and they throw it to their target. Well, you 218 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,319 Speaker 4: have to learn to throw through so eyes on the ball, 219 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 4: never take your eyes out the target, throwing through your target, 220 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 4: and then that gives you the finish. And the third 221 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 4: one is when you do that, don't start smiling at 222 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 4: the guy to play, because you're gonna feel embarrassed for him. 223 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 3: It's so great man and Logan Web. What a performance. 224 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 2: The two other big angles are, of course, the offense 225 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 2: and then Tony V getting his second win. No beer 226 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 2: shower this time, but sticking with Logan Web, Now that's 227 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 2: a joint decision, I'm sure, with Justin Message and Frank 228 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 2: Anderson and Logan himself and Pat Bailey and all those guys, 229 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 2: but it is Tony V's call ultimately, and he let 230 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 2: him go over one hundred on March thirty. First, what 231 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,839 Speaker 2: did you think of that? What are we learning about 232 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 2: Tony V if anything? Or is that just a one 233 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 2: off that Logan Web is the only kind of horse 234 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:10,319 Speaker 2: they're going to do that with. 235 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 4: Not at all. It tells you right now that during 236 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 4: the course of a ball game, there's a dialogue between 237 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 4: a message and the picture from Tony Vitello. I mean, 238 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,319 Speaker 4: he wants to know where you're at with this thing. 239 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 4: The one thing that he was doing. I don't think 240 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 4: his mechanics are off. I just think that there was 241 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 4: a little bit of a problem with the way that 242 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 4: he was aligning himself to his target and keeping his 243 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 4: eyes on the target, and he was missing basically in 244 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 4: the same spot and it was putting it behind the count, 245 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 4: it was giving him, it was creating the three ball accounts. 246 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 4: He walked for guys, which is rare for him. So 247 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,559 Speaker 4: from a manager's perspective and a pitching goes perspective, your 248 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 4: concern when the guy's out of whack is if he 249 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 4: is exposing his arm to injury. Because there was consistency 250 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 4: with his release and he was being able to hit 251 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 4: the same spot. They theorized, well, he's not really exposing 252 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 4: the south to injury. He was throwing the ball far 253 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 4: and he just was a little bit out of whack. 254 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:11,439 Speaker 4: So then it became a you know, the main concern 255 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 4: was to try and correct that, to get your mechanics 256 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 4: back into the strikes, on which they did. They solved it, 257 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 4: and so I don't think there was really an issue 258 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 4: to try and let him extend pitch count wise, because 259 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 4: he wasn't going to mechanically hurt himself. And I just 260 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 4: think that was really interesting. Tells you a lot about 261 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 4: the manager, it tells you a lot about the pitching coach. 262 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 4: They could solve problem within the game and they did. 263 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 3: Mike. 264 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 5: Last night Giants were able to accumulate sixteen total hits 265 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 5: nine runs. And look, it's only five games into the season, 266 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 5: and of course pitching matchups matters for all these hitters. 267 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 5: But would you say that the Giants offense is closer 268 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 5: to what we've seen the last couple games against the 269 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 5: Padres than what we saw in the first series against 270 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 5: the Yankees. 271 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 4: Oh yes, well you saw spring long and you know 272 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 4: when you I'll say this to the day I die thought, 273 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 4: one of the hardest wins of the year is to 274 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 4: get your first win. And every day that it goes by, 275 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 4: where you lose a game and you don't get that win, 276 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 4: it gets that much harder to get that win. And 277 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 4: once you get it, I mean, you had to turn 278 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 4: the worm on that three two win, and it was 279 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 4: a little scary in the ninth inning, but they got 280 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 4: it done. The funk was over, the monkey was off 281 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 4: the back and everybody and yesterday's they got to the 282 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 4: ballpark and the clubhouse was live. And Pipe said he 283 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 4: walked into it and he says it was just night 284 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 4: and day. I mean, everybody had loosened up, and hitting 285 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 4: is contagious line drives just that attitude in your mind 286 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 4: that you know, you hit the ball, hert's going to 287 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 4: find a whole. They didn't have that feeling by the game, 288 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 4: Like the third game of that Yankee series. They just 289 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 4: thought whatever they were that whatever was going to happen 290 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 4: to play wasn't going to be wasn't going to be 291 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 4: a positive thing. Whatever. However hard you hit the ball, 292 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,199 Speaker 4: it's gonna get caught. Well after that three to two win, 293 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 4: that feeling was gone. Now they expected to have hits, 294 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 4: and they had hits last night. They had about five 295 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 4: cheap hits. It was wonderful and they had but they 296 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 4: had great at bad after everybody got hit in the 297 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 4: Millennip last night. I mean, it was just one of 298 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 4: those nights. So I think you're going to see more 299 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 4: and more of what you saw last night. 300 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 3: Just one more on the offense. 301 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 2: A Domis at leadoff I know we talked yesterday, but 302 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 2: it's not two days. 303 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 3: In a row. Don't know how long term this is. 304 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 2: Don't know if he did it just sort of shake 305 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 2: things up, or if he wanted Willy to be less 306 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 2: strikeout oriented. I don't know. How do you feel about this? 307 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 2: Whole adamis at leadoff project. 308 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 4: Hey, it worked. I mean, when you're a manager, there's 309 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 4: not a whole lot you're gonna do. You're going to 310 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 4: commit to who you're gonna have in that lineup and 311 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 4: where you put him. It's just a matter of hunch, 312 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 4: just an idea, just to jumpstart anything, to get guys 313 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 4: going and and get that concentration to a positive thought. 314 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 4: And I think, uh, you know, he may be there 315 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 4: for a while, but I don't think I doubt if 316 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 4: he's going to be there for the rest of the year. 317 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 4: Maybe he is, who knows. But it does It does 318 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 4: show you a word by tell I was thinking, it 319 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 4: tells you what they all were thinking. I mean all 320 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 4: the hitting coaches, and the dialogue was how do we 321 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 4: get these guys going, Try and move them around, you know, 322 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 4: change the scenery where they are on the lineup. 323 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, love it, Mike. Finally, last one is the bullpen. No, 324 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 2: it's only five games, but still it's five games. And 325 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 2: I mean if you go by stats over five games, 326 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 2: they're seventh. They're bullpens seventh in baseball and e RA 327 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 2: top ten. Their bullpen's fourth in baseball and whip top five. 328 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 2: I mean, my god, we saw it last night. Three 329 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 2: more shutout innings. I mean, and it seems like it's 330 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 2: a variety of guys. I know, we talked to you 331 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 2: yesterday about Keaton winning, Ryan Walker and Walker maybe it 332 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 2: was the only only guy who struggled, but last night 333 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 2: bru Baker and Buteaux. I don't know, man, it just 334 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 2: continues to be a shining light. And I'm just so 335 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 2: happy and pleased and surprised by this, Mike, and it 336 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 2: seems to be almost every single guy that comes out. 337 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 4: Well. And it certainly looks sustainable. I mean, it doesn't 338 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 4: look like anybody's doing it with mirrors out there. They're 339 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 4: doing it with good location, with an assortment of of 340 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 4: different pictures that are all quality. They're strike throwers and 341 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 4: they're not surprised with anything they do, and I think 342 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 4: that probably is the most important thing of all. You know, 343 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 4: they're not in an area where they feel like, wella, 344 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 4: this is why I don't know that this is this 345 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 4: is really nice. I don't know if I could keep 346 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 4: it like. They're not like that at all. They're they're 347 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 4: expecting to go out and have the results that they're having. 348 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 4: And because of that, I think that's a huge significance 349 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 4: when you're looking at at this ball, at this the book, 350 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 4: and as to how quickly they have established in the 351 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 4: eye of the Giants fan that they're they're a good 352 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 4: group and they're a confident group. 353 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 3: Finally, last one. You ever seen Raffie Devers run like that? 354 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 4: I have it's in there. You know, he's you know, 355 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 4: I mean when you're sniffing base in and it's in 356 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 4: the games on the line. Yeah, you're gonna see guys 357 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 4: will risk it. Then, you know, the guys that will 358 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 4: risk an injury, they will risk a hamstering or a 359 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 4: tight groin, they'll they'll they'll run through that. We're watching 360 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 4: Harrison Bader do that in the Yankee series where he 361 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 4: unloaded and went, man, that guy can go. We hadn't 362 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 4: seen him do that. Well, there was a reason for it. 363 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,479 Speaker 4: There was a tightness in his leg and that may 364 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 4: be the same situation with Devers who's had hamstring issues 365 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 4: that he's not going to push it. There are times 366 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 4: when you do, and he certainly had no problem holding up. 367 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 4: And then that was a big play in the game. 368 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 3: Really was It was fun. 369 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, and Mike I got actually one last one. I 370 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 5: want to sneak in for you before I let you go. 371 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 5: Do you think the Padres will have any issue today 372 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 5: after seeing Jared, all of us still a bagging the 373 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 5: ninth inning. 374 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,919 Speaker 4: None. Those days are pretty much over. And you know 375 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 4: it's I don't really think that was that offensive. And 376 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 4: the other part about it was that's his game, that's 377 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 4: what he does, that's what he's put in there to do, 378 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,640 Speaker 4: and then he did it, and we're going to see 379 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 4: more and more. This guy had what fifty seven stolen 380 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 4: bags last year, he got thrown out six times, and 381 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 4: so he's a weapon and that's what he does. So 382 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 4: and I don't think you're ever going to get an 383 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 4: apology from him, not what he's establishing himself. So I 384 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 4: don't think that the Putters are going to take exception 385 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 4: to it at all. 386 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 3: It's good stuff, Mike, really really fun. 387 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 2: We'll look forward to your broadcast today at one ten, 388 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 2: and then we'll talk to you Friday after the Mets 389 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 2: come to town.
