WEBVTT - 8-15 The Tony V Show

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:04.600
<v Speaker 1>A beautiful afternoon in San Francisco, the Giants and the Rockies,

0:00:04.640 --> 0:00:08.160
<v Speaker 1>and Logan web makes the start for the Giants. The

0:00:08.240 --> 0:00:12.760
<v Speaker 1>Giants ace and they need a stop job here today

0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:17.040
<v Speaker 1>against the Colorado Rockies with me Tony Bitello, Giants manager

0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:21.479
<v Speaker 1>and Tony Logan web Man. He's come up big so

0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:25.720
<v Speaker 1>many times in games that the Giants really needed, even

0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:29.159
<v Speaker 1>thoughse didn't always end up being wins. But what is

0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:32.920
<v Speaker 1>it about him? Is it his competitive nature? Is he's

0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:36.280
<v Speaker 1>just that good or does he a little bit of

0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:37.839
<v Speaker 1>both and rises to the occasion.

0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:40.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I think Vince Lombardi talked about you got to

0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:42.880
<v Speaker 2>compete from your feet all the way up to your head,

0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:46.120
<v Speaker 2>and that involves your heart, in your head and any

0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:48.239
<v Speaker 2>other body parts you want to throw out there. And

0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:51.560
<v Speaker 2>I think that's the definition of Webby. But at the

0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:53.880
<v Speaker 2>end of the day, it's a really good arm. He's

0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:56.440
<v Speaker 2>got experienced ball moves all over the place. But I

0:00:56.480 --> 0:01:00.840
<v Speaker 2>think his brain is his best weapon. He's really intelligent,

0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:05.240
<v Speaker 2>he's really competitive, he's poised, and on a day like today,

0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:08.000
<v Speaker 2>like you're referring to, he kind of knows how the

0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:11.560
<v Speaker 2>deck is stacked and you need a good effort out

0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:14.120
<v Speaker 2>of your guy, and more times than not he's been

0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 2>able to do that. And again I think his arsenal

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 2>helps and all the other attributes, but I think overall

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:24.399
<v Speaker 2>he's incredibly talented as it relates to his mindset and

0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:25.959
<v Speaker 2>just his brain in general.

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:29.680
<v Speaker 1>Now, today, for the giants, Williadamas and not in there,

0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:34.360
<v Speaker 1>and Williadamas might not be in there for a few days.

0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:35.960
<v Speaker 1>What's the latest proagnosis with Lillly?

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:38.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think as of yesterday the label was kind

0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 2>of more day to day, and I think it's fair

0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 2>to keep that label. But day to day for us

0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:47.080
<v Speaker 2>should today be not active at all, a little bit active,

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:50.280
<v Speaker 2>and then eventually it be full active. So I think

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:52.600
<v Speaker 2>it's good for him to pile up a few more

0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:56.000
<v Speaker 2>days of non activity, whereas last time it was only

0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:58.880
<v Speaker 2>about three total days and then he got back into

0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:02.800
<v Speaker 2>it real quick. I think this plan laid out is

0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:06.200
<v Speaker 2>a little bit better of do analyze each day where

0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:09.519
<v Speaker 2>we're at. But but for the process now, I think

0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 2>it's more inactive and then slowly build some activity with

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:15.960
<v Speaker 2>some practice work and then make them available for a

0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:16.959
<v Speaker 2>game sometime soon.

0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:21.600
<v Speaker 1>All right, So, and I know if I ask you

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:26.480
<v Speaker 1>this question, you certainly want the Rockies to figure that

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.320
<v Speaker 1>in a big spot you might use Willia Damas as

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:32.519
<v Speaker 1>a pinch hitter. So I'm gonna ask you anyway, if

0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:34.160
<v Speaker 1>if you need him as a pinch hitter late in

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:36.040
<v Speaker 1>the game, is the available.

0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:38.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're always guessing on the other side. Al Tuove

0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:40.960
<v Speaker 2>took that ball off the foot. So we're left in

0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:44.200
<v Speaker 2>here meeting before the game. All right, check Twitter? Who

0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:46.320
<v Speaker 2>wants to you know, place your bets on him not

0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:49.480
<v Speaker 2>being available because it can affect how you use a pitcher.

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean a lot of times we envision these pinch

0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:55.000
<v Speaker 2>hit opportunities, but you bring in Eric Miller, you bring

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:58.600
<v Speaker 2>in Sam Hinches anyway. But you know, tomorrow, I think

0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:00.800
<v Speaker 2>it's a possibility, with the game him on the line,

0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:03.280
<v Speaker 2>we could use him as a weapon that way. But

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.679
<v Speaker 2>today I think it's unrealistic and it's fair to say,

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:07.760
<v Speaker 2>and I'm willing to bet the Rockies are kind of

0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:09.160
<v Speaker 2>already envisioning that too.

0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 1>All right, and then the Giants go to Cleveland after

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.040
<v Speaker 1>the game of mom but then have a day off

0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:17.400
<v Speaker 1>there and not another game until Tuesday night in Cleveland,

0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:20.800
<v Speaker 1>so a chance to get him a nice little stretch

0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:22.600
<v Speaker 1>to rest and recoup rate.

0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:24.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a bonus day, and I mean, I give

0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:27.200
<v Speaker 2>my input, it ends up being a group decision, and

0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:30.400
<v Speaker 2>of course Willy being a veteran, his vote counts and

0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:33.320
<v Speaker 2>he's always outspoken. I mean, he doesn't like not playing,

0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 2>and you got to respect and honor that. But you

0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:39.040
<v Speaker 2>also got to be intelligent at some point and realize

0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:42.120
<v Speaker 2>we don't need to further injure him by any means,

0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 2>and we also don't need to hurt the team by

0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, putting him out there when he's not ready

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 2>and then all of a sudden something's grabbing him. So

0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:51.280
<v Speaker 2>that Monday day could really serve as an added bonus.

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:54.960
<v Speaker 2>Two complete off days on top of some other inactivity.

0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:57.200
<v Speaker 2>And then in Cleveland, you know, maybe it requires a

0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:00.000
<v Speaker 2>little bit of a workout day or some preparation before

0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:03.119
<v Speaker 2>or he's actually thrown into the fire. But I think

0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:04.920
<v Speaker 2>at the latest it makes sense that he could play

0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:06.320
<v Speaker 2>against the Guardians.

0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Giants Rockies game two of the series. More Tony Bicello next, Now,

0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:13.400
<v Speaker 1>more Tony Bicello, the Giants manager. And there's a name

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 1>in the lineup that we have not seen there before,

0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:16.640
<v Speaker 1>and tell us about that Tony.

0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:18.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Turner Hill. We talked about him a little bit

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:20.839
<v Speaker 2>yesterday and I was searching. I should have taken the

0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.800
<v Speaker 2>time last night to search my list of forty guys

0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:26.640
<v Speaker 2>that kind of fit the mold of that shifty, left

0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 2>handed hitting, good athlete in the outfield. But the bottom

0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:32.520
<v Speaker 2>line is he's a player under himself. He needs to

0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:34.640
<v Speaker 2>be who he is and what got him here, and

0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:37.240
<v Speaker 2>what got him here was good defense, really good base running,

0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:40.279
<v Speaker 2>and just a high level of quality at bats. He

0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:43.200
<v Speaker 2>had a big history going. He's hit at every level

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:45.159
<v Speaker 2>he's been, so it'll be great to see what he

0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:48.280
<v Speaker 2>can do. And some guys take off right away. Other guys,

0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:50.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, kind of need a little bit of time

0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:53.200
<v Speaker 2>to get their feet wet at this level. Either way,

0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:55.280
<v Speaker 2>it'll be exciting to see him in that lineup. So

0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:57.479
<v Speaker 2>the lineup does have a lot of left handed hitters

0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:01.039
<v Speaker 2>against Lorenzo this year. Left have got him pretty good.

0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:03.880
<v Speaker 2>And he'll make his major league debut, and I believe

0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:06.640
<v Speaker 2>Drew Gilbert will make his major league debut at the

0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:10.159
<v Speaker 2>leadoff spot. So, if anything, an exciting new lineup for

0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:12.440
<v Speaker 2>the boys in the locker room, and hopefully it'll bring

0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:14.200
<v Speaker 2>a little energy to help Webby's efforts.

0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:16.680
<v Speaker 1>All right, so here we go. Turner Hill in there

0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:22.000
<v Speaker 1>and his major league debut. The Giants Rockies coming up next.

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.000
<v Speaker 1>And that's the Tony Btello Show for today.
