You know, it's not like 85 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 4: you know, it's not you're walking around eggshells around him, right, 86 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 4: But you also respect the hell out of him, and 87 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 4: you know you gotta he holds you to a certain 88 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:40,839 Speaker 4: standard that you got to bring every single day. 89 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 2: He's pretty intense. Do you think he's gonna get thrown 90 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 2: out of a lot of games this year? I mean, 91 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 2: I love the guy, dude, you know him way better 92 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 2: than I do. 93 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: Is he going to show that intensity for one hundred 94 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: and sixty two games? Do you think there's going to 95 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: be a difference in the way he coached at Tennessee 96 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: and manages in the big leagues? 97 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 4: No, I don't think it's going to be as big 98 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 4: of a difference as people think. I mean, I saw 99 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 4: him do it every single day for three years, you know, 100 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 4: regardless of it who was a game or practice.

Stay over there. 357 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: Logan Web of the WBC last night, he was fantastic, 358 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: not shocked. 359 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 2: I hope my hope for Logan Web. 360 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: And I know he's pitched in playoff games against the Dodgers, 361 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: but it seems like the bigger the game is, the 362 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: better Logan Web is. And I feel like the rest 363 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: of the baseball world and this might this might not 364 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: be an accurate statement. Is finally getting to know the 365 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: Logan web that we know. 366 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, so you know, yeah, we've mentioned Fox one 367 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 5: every time we do the WBC stuff, and my gosh, 368 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 5: it's been so fun. The logan looked phenomenal and I 369 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 5: had somebody email me today. I do get some old 370 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 5: style emails and saying basically saying like people aren't talking 371 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 5: about Logan enough nationally. I thought that this would be 372 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 5: the time, like kind of, yeah, I wish he was 373 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 5: in line to pitch, like say, a championship game, so 374 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 5: everybody could really get an idea, you know, if he 375 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 5: played on the West coast. East Coast people kind of 376 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 5: like don't see enough of the best West Coast players 377 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 5: unless these days they're the Dodgers. So Logan's just been phenomenal. 378 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 5: And then Tony Tony Vitello did what each of the 379 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 5: previous two managers did today and sort of what like, 380 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 5: Logan's the opening day pitcher. Well like, unofficially, of course, 381 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 5: you know it would be. It's he was each of 382 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 5: the last four years. So I feel as if it's 383 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 5: pretty safe to say that, but it's it's unofficial that 384 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 5: always makes me laugh. 385 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 2: I think you didn't want to jinx it. You know, 386 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 2: managers are superstitious, so you didn't want to come out 387 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 2: stamp it. 388 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: I think that was a championship game for Logan Web 389 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: in the sense that all the drama with Team USA 390 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: and du Rosa and whatever you think about that, and 391 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: then losing a game and now you're in the knockout 392 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: round you got second life and if you lose, you 393 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: go home. We were talking in the in the in 394 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: the press. 395 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 2: Box yesterday and was divided. 396 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: Was that the biggest game Logan Web ever pitched because 397 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: because of all the extenuating circumstances and this thing is, 398 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: I don't know, it's been ratchet up a notch because 399 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: of USA Hockey and then all the comments and then 400 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: he comes out and absolutely deals against a really good 401 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: baseball team. 402 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 2: So I was so proud of him last night, like 403 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 2: he was just had. He was on top of his game. 404 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: Usually the first ending can be a little wobbly for 405 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 1: him before he finds his rhythm and his release points 406 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: on all his pitches, but he was. 407 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 2: He was lights out from the jump last night. 408 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 5: Absolute blast and team Itdaly. I know you're excited about 409 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 5: Tim Midley, who isn't excited about tam Itdaly at this point, 410 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 5: dang Ron Motis and Dave Brighetti, they are getting it done. 411 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 5: So yeah, that's very exciting. Then we got a little 412 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 5: bit of news this week, not necessarily good news. Hayden 413 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:34,399 Speaker 5: Birds Songs got a little bit of discomfort initially. You know, 414 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 5: when I first heard about it was described to me 415 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 5: as sort of an elbow thing. It sounds, like Scott 416 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 5: Boris told me yesterday, more of a forearm, which is 417 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 5: typically lecture tenant, which can sometimes signal, you know, eventually 418 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 5: an elbow problem. But a lot of times if you 419 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 5: catch it when it's still sort of a forearm situation, 420 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 5: let things calm down, like Hayden was saying, I hope 421 00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 5: it's just a couple of weeks. A couple of weeks 422 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,239 Speaker 5: would be really really optimistic with these things. But you 423 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,439 Speaker 5: can let these things calm down and do you know, 424 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 5: do this stuff like the PRP injections and you know, 425 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 5: like just really good treatment and rest and sometimes it's 426 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 5: all fine. So that's of course I'm knocking on some 427 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 5: wood where that's what we're all hoping for. 428 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, which are the best I have no idea what's 429 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: going on, only he does in the organization. I hope 430 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: that that he comes back healthy and can help this 431 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: ball club because we're all big fans of Hayden birds on. 432 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, and I'll think, you know, they're getting the Boris 433 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 5: Corporation usually gets a second opinion. They have all their 434 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 5: people in LA like the top notch people. I'm always 435 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 5: all for that second opinions if you can get them 436 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,120 Speaker 5: and you. 437 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:44,239 Speaker 2: Know, have the time and all of that. 438 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 5: I think that's great that they make sure they get 439 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 5: the absolute best medical care. 440 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 3: So and of course the Giants do too. 441 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 5: I'm not you know, this is too powerhouse kind of 442 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 5: organizations taking care of this kid, So he's going to 443 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 5: get the best, the best, So I hope. I hope 444 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 5: also that it's just a quick like just a little 445 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 5: blip and it was just you know, people immediately jumped 446 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 5: to This explains why he was a ratic last year. 447 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 5: This explains why his spring results hadn't been good. 448 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,640 Speaker 2: He was throwing ninety eight ninety nine. 449 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 5: He felt it on a curve ball like right before 450 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 5: he came out of the game, which was just just 451 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 5: one inning, so it was not something that had been 452 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 5: bothering him before, just something why he felt it on 453 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 5: one pitch, which that's that's probably not great either. 454 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 2: Now let's talk about from today's game. 455 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 1: I thought, you know, Keaton Winn had a rough little 456 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 1: go of it, and he's been so lights out. I 457 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: think that's just a blip on the radar. Gave up 458 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: four runs and the grand slam walked a couple of guys. 459 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,199 Speaker 1: Joey lu Casey got his feet wet, So I'm not 460 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: really you're not really judging anything he does yet until 461 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: he gets into form, because he just got into camp 462 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 1: the other day. 463 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 2: When the Giants lore was eight to seven. 464 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: Today, I watched right up until the end, and then 465 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: I turned on the Italy Puerto Rico game because Puerto 466 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:00,719 Speaker 1: Rico was eight to two and they came back from 467 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: May eight to six. So I'm like Giants. I've seen 468 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,120 Speaker 1: every Giants game. I'm watching WBC, so I didn't watch 469 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: the end of the game. 470 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 2: I just saw they lost. 471 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: And you know, all the owners are in town this 472 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: weekend for the Giants.

I asked him yesterday, do you think 516 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 5: you could play all nine? He was like absolutely, Like 517 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 5: maybe the end of my career. He hasn't pitched, you know, 518 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 5: since he was like a little kid, but he could. 519 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 5: He could do it one hundred percent. And man, he 520 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 5: for catching, he's fast. They could have a fast bunch 521 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,360 Speaker 5: of catchers period, which has been kind of cool. I'm 522 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 5: rambling at this point, aren't you got to You gotta 523 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 5: go get pretty for a dinner. 524 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: No big fan of Hazus Rodriguez. He'd be good number two. 525 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: But with Daniel Susach is a rule five guy. If 526 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: he doesn't make the team. And he had a home 527 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: run today, I believe uh. And then he got to 528 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:46,199 Speaker 1: cover a couple of hits. Getting back to Devers, I 529 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: talked to Boach about this before the game, and Raffie streaky. 530 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 2: I think Giants fans know this. 531 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: He's got a lot going on with this and the 532 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: open stance and the leg kick, and if all this 533 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 1: stuff isn't right, he can swing through some fastballs. 534 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 2: And Boach was the manager for the Rangers in the. 535 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: First series against the Red Sox last year when I 536 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: think Devers went over nineteen with thirteen strikeouts in the series. 537 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,679 Speaker 1: There's something like that fact checked me, but it was 538 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,880 Speaker 1: and he said we just fed him fastballs because all 539 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,679 Speaker 1: that rhythm stuff that he has was not synced up. 540 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,959 Speaker 1: He was probably still pissed off about dhen and there 541 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: was a lot going on. 542 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 2: But we saw Raffie Devers as a giant last year. 543 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: And there's times when he's up there and you're just 544 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: wondering how far he's going to hit it, and you're 545 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: just expecting a home run. When he's locked in, Oh 546 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: my gosh, the ball goes as we saw today the 547 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: left center field. 548 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 2: But there's times when. 549 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: He gets in these little ruts where he can see. 550 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: And Dusty said the same thing. When he was in Houston, 551 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: they just fed him fastballs, all fastballs, and Boach said, 552 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 1: we didn't throw him one off speed pitch the whole series. 553 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 2: So he can get. 554 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: Into a little rut every once in a while. But 555 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 1: that's the last guy I'm worried about. I mean, he 556 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: just needs he's fine. 557 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 2: Like today, he locked in and he went the other 558 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 2: way and that's a good sign. 559 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 3: Okay. 560 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 5: So I have a question for you that might be stupid. 561 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 5: Why would you be somebody like Raphael Devers just fastballs? 562 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,120 Speaker 1: He was swinging through them all. If it ain't broke, 563 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: don't fix it. If he's not hitting a fastball. Boath said, 564 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,880 Speaker 1: they didn't throw him one off speed pitch the whole series, 565 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 1: and until it's like, that's a big League is if 566 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: I throw you change ups and you don't hit him. 567 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: I forget who the first baseman was for the Giants 568 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 1: when I was an expo. 569 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 2: He was a rookie and he was a. 570 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 1: Prospect, left handed hitting first baseman, and Pedro Martinez was 571 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 1: our pitcher. And Charlie has told me the story. The 572 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: next year, he said, you got to gear up. Pedro 573 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: throws fast. 574 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 2: Pedro threw him. 575 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 1: I think, what is it, fifteen change ups in a 576 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: row and struck him out three or four times, and 577 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: he didn't even mix in a fastball. So if you're 578 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: not hitting something in a series, you're just gonna stay 579 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: with that until you show me you can hit it. 580 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 2: So Boath said, they didn't throw him one off speed pitch. 581 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,119 Speaker 1: But now I think he's a little more like he 582 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: can fix himself a little bit quicker, and I think 583 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: there was some mental stuff going on there where he's 584 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,919 Speaker 1: pissed off. He was dh and he's probably swinging wildly. 585 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: Tony talked about he's trying to hit the ball five 586 00:24:59,040 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: thousand feet. 587 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 2: I don't think they wanted to cut down. 588 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: His swing so much, but his strike zone recognition and 589 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 1: the way he commands a strike zone is elite. He 590 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,640 Speaker 1: doesn't swing at balls, he swings at strikes, and he's 591 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: been chasing balls lately, so I think once he locks 592 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: in his strike zone, he's going to be good. 593 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 2: Okay, I'm done, You're done. 594 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 5: Okay, f peak, go get pretty for your special, fancy event. 595 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 2: That's gonna take me about two hours. 596 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 1: All right, Susan, thanks for coming on today.
