0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:15.920
<v Speaker 1>is game one of the three game series between the

0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Giants and the Cincinnati Reds and Kype. I looked at

0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:25.960
<v Speaker 1>the lineup today and you know, they unfortunately, there have

0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:28.639
<v Speaker 1>been some injuries. The Giants lost three players yesterday got

0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:34.000
<v Speaker 1>put on the I l William Thomas and Barry Koto

0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:38.360
<v Speaker 1>and Brew Baker all I eled and so the Giants

0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:42.199
<v Speaker 1>dipped down into Sacramento and they got They brought a

0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:46.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of guys up. And on top of everything, Bryce

0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:50.959
<v Speaker 1>Eldridge his grandfather passed away, so he's on bereavement leave

0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:53.200
<v Speaker 1>and he won't be here with the club for three days.

0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:56.080
<v Speaker 1>So a lot of new people who are coming up here.

0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:59.360
<v Speaker 1>And you know, it just so happened that I got

0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 1>a chance. Because we're watching the games on the NBC

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Sports Bay Area where the Giants were back East in

0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Ohio and in Boston, and after the games were over

0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:11.680
<v Speaker 1>around seven o'clock, they flipped the right to the Sacamore

0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:13.680
<v Speaker 1>River Cats. We got a chance to see those games.

0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:17.360
<v Speaker 1>So I've seen all these guys, and I know one thing.

0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:18.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean a lot of these guys that are playing

0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:21.440
<v Speaker 1>tonight Giants fans haven't heard of, but they can hit.

0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:26.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, You're way better off than I am, because I

0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:29.119
<v Speaker 2>think I saw him play one game and the one

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:34.280
<v Speaker 2>guy that really stood out was the Bo Davidson kid.

0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:39.200
<v Speaker 2>And he's not here. Well, Turner Hill is here. And now,

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:41.880
<v Speaker 2>if you'd have told me that in spring training that

0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:44.000
<v Speaker 2>the Giants are going to roll out a lineup where

0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:47.600
<v Speaker 2>Turner Hill was your cleanupitter, I'd have said, wait a minute.

0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 2>If this is a spring training game, do the Giants

0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:53.920
<v Speaker 2>have enough starters in their lineup? Where are they going

0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:56.800
<v Speaker 2>to get in trouble? And we counted the starters. There's

0:01:56.920 --> 0:02:02.960
<v Speaker 2>two starters, three if you Drew Gilbert. But this is

0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 2>what happens towards the end of the season, when all

0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:09.560
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden injuries start to pile up. There isn't

0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:11.800
<v Speaker 2>anything you can do about it. And we're not talking

0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:15.200
<v Speaker 2>about injuries where maybe a little calf here. I mean,

0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:18.400
<v Speaker 2>these are all significant injuries and consequently you get to

0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 2>see what you got in the minor leagues. And tonight

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:25.560
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna get a chance to see if the second

0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:28.000
<v Speaker 2>baseman tonight can come up with this first major league hit.

0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Nate Furman not to be mixed up with Nate Thurman,

0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:35.359
<v Speaker 1>who was a great basketball player, great warrior. Different size

0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Nate Furman. Now Nate Thurman was I think at six'

0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:42.320
<v Speaker 1>eleven or close to. It Nate furman is five to,

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:44.600
<v Speaker 1>seven five to. Seven but he can. Hit he can,

0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.120
<v Speaker 1>hit AND i know he's you're a fan of his

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:47.880
<v Speaker 1>because he's a second.

0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:50.840
<v Speaker 2>Baseman you, know the one thing about teams that The

0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:53.880
<v Speaker 2>reds are going to see tonight is they're going to

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:57.000
<v Speaker 2>see a lot of guys play their tails off because,

0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:00.120
<v Speaker 2>hey this is their shot at the big. Leagues and

0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:04.240
