We're excited for opening days right around the 10 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 1: corner a couple of days away, in the corner of 11 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: Third and King Night Game Yankees Netflix.

You know, each show will 18 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 2: have maybe one or two categories that'll be regular things. 19 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 2: So here's an easy one, the week Ahead. Let's talk 20 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 2: about the week ahead because it's a biggie, right like 21 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 2: the Giants are opening the season against the Yankees at home, 22 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 2: Tony Vaytello's first regular season game as a manager. Like 23 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 2: they're gonna be so Netflix is broadcasting it, There's gonna 24 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 2: be some crazy number of Netflix branded Kayaks in Covey Cove. 25 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 2: Just seems like it's gonna be a lot. But I 26 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 2: think it should be really fun. I mean, who doesn't 27 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 2: want to a start the season at home, which is 28 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,479 Speaker 2: very nice for the Giants. B you got Logan Web 29 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 2: on the Mount fantastic, and then Netflix and the Yankees 30 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 2: of all people. That's fun. 31 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a playoff kind of super Bowl kind 32 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: of everything atmosphere. There's a lot of pomp and circumstance. 33 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: You're gonna have the opening day on Friday, the traditional 34 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: opener for the Giants, with a flyover, but I'm pretty 35 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: sure Metallica is playing pregame on Wednesday before the game. 36 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: So a lot to be excited about. And I mean 37 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 1: you talk about jumping right in the fire for the Giants. 38 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: Their schedule, whether it's the Yankees, the Padres, the Mets, 39 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: and the Phillies coming up, but like you're the only 40 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 1: game on TV and Susan. I'll say from a player standpoint, 41 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: when you're the only game on TV. First of all, 42 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: as a player, opening day, you're nervous. I don't care 43 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: if it's your twentieth opening day and you've been lucky 44 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: enough to play twenty games in the big leagues. Opening Day, 45 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: you're always nervous. But when you're playing in front of 46 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: all your peers, and all your peers are watching at 47 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: home and they're anxious for their opening day the next day, 48 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: it puts a little added pressure on you. And I think, 49 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: you know, my only experience that was with the Oakland 50 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and you start to think about that 51 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: as a player, that were the only game on TV. 52 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: There's going to be no out of town scoreboard in 53 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: right field because there's no other games being played. So 54 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,559 Speaker 1: like this is all I mean, Tony's sitting Tony Bytello's 55 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: starting like at the very top. And he said yesterday 56 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: on the bench in Sacramento, Dave Fleming and I covered 57 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: that game. He said on the bench that it would 58 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: be great if he was a college coach because it'd 59 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: be great for recruiting. But like, yeah, he was trying 60 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: to downplay it, saying it's one of one hundred and 61 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: sixty two. But when you really think about it, based 62 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: on everything that's that's going on, his first game, college coach, 63 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: big league manager, Luisa Rise, and the new players, and 64 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: what's the bullpen going to be like? And the aces 65 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: on the mound and it's the Yankees, I mean, this 66 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: is this is gonna be huge. 67 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 2: It's gonna be a lot. You know, the last several 68 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 2: days in Arizona, we kind of kept asking like, what 69 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 2: do you think it's going to be, like, like what's 70 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 2: your anticipation level? Like how eager are you for this? 71 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 2: And he didn't quite play along with some of that. 72 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 2: He doesn't know what to expect. I think that's the 73 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,119 Speaker 2: main response we got from him. It looks he's got 74 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 2: very expensive, very experienced coaches around him. The player, you know, 75 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 2: he's Logan Web. This is his fifth Opening Days art, 76 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 2: I mean, everybody knows what they're doing. He's going to 77 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 2: be wide eyed. Like during the during the WBC, he 78 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 2: was like this, it's like so cool to just be 79 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 2: this close to players like this. He feels like that 80 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 2: about his own team, But Opening Day in the Yankees, 81 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 2: that's going to be a whole different Beast and a 82 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 2: week So as part of our week ahead category, let 83 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 2: me tell you one thing I've got coming up in 84 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 2: the chronicle. I think it will run and Wednesday's Chronicle, 85 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 2: but probably be online tomorrow, a sort of a look 86 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 2: at Tony Vitello and how he handled the spring and 87 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 2: is he ready for the regular season. All signs to 88 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,679 Speaker 2: me are pointing to yes. I'm not just talking about 89 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 2: you know, the Cactus League record was good, because we've 90 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 2: mentioned you throw that out right, that doesn't really mean anything. 91 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 2: Giants had the best record in baseball last spring. This year, 92 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 2: get half game behind the Dodgers, something like that in 93 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 2: the Cactus League doesn't matter. It's nice, gives you a 94 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 2: good vibe one percent, but it doesn't indicate anything. But 95 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 2: you know what they are playing, well, that's the main thing. 96 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 2: That play has been crisp. It's been very aggressive. We've 97 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 2: talked a lot about that in every area so far. 98 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 2: There is certainly nothing I would say that Tony Vitello 99 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 2: has done that has been any sort of a negative 100 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 2: in terms of the way they're playing or the way 101 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 2: the team is coming together. 102 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. It caught up with our mutual friend and Killian 103 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: yesterday and she's running a piece too on Tony Vitello, 104 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: and she was asking me questions. I said something on 105 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 1: cambr that I think he's going to be the most 106 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 1: scrutinized manager in the big leagues, and it's just it's 107 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: going to happen just because of the circumstances. And we're 108 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: in a gotcha society, right, Like there's a lot of 109 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: fans maybe nationwide, not just Giants fans that are waiting 110 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: for something to say like oh, that move right there. 111 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: So he's going to be under a microscope. But I 112 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 1: think he's up for the task. And like I always say, 113 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 1: I'm the president of his band, and I'm really rooting 114 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 1: for the guy. I'm always rooting for the Giants since 115 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 1: I was eight years old, So I'm excited for the 116 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: season and for me, Susan, opening Day is the greatest 117 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: day of the year. It really is. You know, as 118 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,799 Speaker 1: a broadcaster, as a player, like you're walking to the ballpark, 119 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: you get those same feelings you had as a kid. 120 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: There's an anticipation of the journey, the six month journey 121 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: that's one hundred and sixty two game schedule, but that 122 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 1: day to me is maybe the most special day of 123 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: the year more than Christmas, more than Fourth of July, 124 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: more than your birthday, more than anything. Opening Day should 125 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: be a national holiday. So we're really excited for that. 126 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: We're also really excited for Bryce Elders, even though he 127 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 1: got sent option to Sacramento yesterday or the other day. 128 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: I called the game last night. He's facing Tyler Mallley, 129 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: who hasn't given up to earn run all spring training 130 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: and was throwing a no hitter at the time, and 131 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: he decided to go Appo Taco, a high, towering fly 132 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: ball four hundred and forty something feet away from home plate, 133 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 1: one hundred and six ecx of velocity, first hit of 134 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 1: the game, and then he goes double as next ap bat, 135 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:03,679 Speaker 1: And I was joking on the air that he should 136 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 1: just jog into the Giants dugout after his home run. 137 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: But you know, he talked about his emotion, he talked 138 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: about what he's going to do down there. In my 139 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: personal opinion, I'm flying way too close to the sun 140 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: on this because I like the kid so much. I 141 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: think he's going to be in San Francisco sooner rather 142 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: than later. 143 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know, I talked to a lot of 144 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 2: scouts who all said the same thing. Most of them 145 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 2: said he should start off in the miners for a 146 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 2: lot of reasons, including roster flexibility, but also you want 147 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 2: him to come up when he's hot. Tony Vattello mentioned 148 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 2: at some point last week like that Bryce just a oh. 149 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 2: It was the three strikeout game on the Monday. He 150 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 2: said he'd walked past him and heard him say something 151 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 2: about not feeling comfortable in the box, and Bryce, when 152 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 2: he was talking to my colleague Shana Rubin yesterday said 153 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 2: exactly that I haven't felt comfortable in the box. That 154 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 2: is not how you want your top prospect to come up. 155 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 2: When he comes up, you want him feeling good. So 156 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 2: I think kind of a no brainer to start him 157 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 2: off there for so many reasons, but that's the biggest one. 158 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 2: I think he's feeling comfortable in the field and a 159 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 2: little less comfortable in the box, which is not maybe 160 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 2: the way we would have expected things to go. He'll 161 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 2: be fine, though, I mean, this is very confident, very 162 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 2: detailed kid. I mean he knows what he needs to 163 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 2: do to get ready, and he is not getting sent down. 164 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 2: You know, sometimes are like you're going to hurt somebody's confidence. 165 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 2: You're going to ruin the prospects by having them go 166 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 2: up and down or not playing in the you know, 167 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 2: starting on the opening day roster. Nothing is going to 168 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 2: shape by Sldridge's confidence. That is just not a thing 169 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 2: that's going to happen. 170 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: He told Shana too, that that the risk surgery that 171 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: he didn't have a chance to hit until December, and 172 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: the first live baseballs out of the machine or somebody's 173 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,839 Speaker 1: hand was in Scottsdale in spring training. So he was 174 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: talking about maybe not having the confidence with his wrist 175 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,079 Speaker 1: in spring training. That kind of got into it his 176 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: head a little bit, but he said the wrist is fine, 177 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: it doesn't hurt anymore. But having had surgeries before, there's 178 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: always that point where you're just like, can I test it? 179 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: Can I go full speed? Am I going to reinjure it? 180 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: And it does play with your confidence a little bit. 181 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: So I thought it was very telling that he mentioned 182 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 1: that to Shana in the chronicle. So we'll see what 183 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: happens with him. I don't think he's going to be 184 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: down there long. He seems like he's got a great 185 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: attitude and they just want him to be more confident. 186 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: I think a little more swagger to his game, a 187 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,959 Speaker 1: little more fu for lack of a better term. When 188 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: he's in the batter's box, I could say that I 189 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: didn't swear. Don't give me that look on the other side. 190 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: So we're excited to see you're very naughty on the 191 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: corner of third kse. You know I've been naughty If 192 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: I dropped an f bumb, I didn't drop it out. 193 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: But yeah, we're looking for some key matchups too in 194 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: the series, like talking about Yankees Giants, you know, two 195 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: storied franchises. Whenever you go back to New York as 196 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 1: a Giants players us, whether it's a Mess or the Yankees, 197 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: there's still Giants fans that were New York Giants fans. 198 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 1: So this does have a New York, New York kind 199 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: of vibe to it, even though they've been on the 200 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: West Coast for a long time. But there's some key 201 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: matchups in this series that we want to go over. 202 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: And I'm going to let you go first, or should 203 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: we take care of business real quick on? You know what? 204 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 2: This is kind of a perfect especially with the Yankees 205 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 2: in town and opening like this is a hot ticket. Now. 206 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 2: When I talked to the Giants the other day there 207 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 2: were still some tickets left, but I'm suspecting they're they're 208 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 2: going to go really quickly, so this is pretty appropriate. 209 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 3: I think this is it Kratz opening weekend of the season. 210 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 3: And if you're looking for tickets for an MLB game 211 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 3: and they're either sold out or you're just a little 212 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 3: bit lost and you need some help, Seekeek is there 213 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 3: for you.

So we 239 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 1: hope to see you guys there. All right, getting back 240 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,679 Speaker 1: to our little preview and our matchups for this series. 241 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: And there's some tremendous athletes on both teams, tremendous baseball 242 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,719 Speaker 1: players and some key things were going to check out 243 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 1: for the serious Susan you go first. 244 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 2: Well, you know, Raphael divors Is for me, that's the 245 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 2: biggest matchup, right when you talk about the Yankees all 246 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 2: those years with the Red Sox, and you know what, 247 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 2: should we beat this one of our regular categories because 248 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 2: you know, matchup of the week, right, that's something people, 249 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 2: I think always want to know. Of course, the Giants 250 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 2: only have the one series this week. But Devers has 251 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 2: hit more homers than any other active player in the 252 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 2: majors against the Yankees, He's got thirty one. He's second 253 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 2: in RBIs. I mean, this is a guy who is 254 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 2: I mean, he's a beast to begin with, but against 255 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 2: the Yankees, it's another level and he's seen it more 256 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 2: than anybody else in the Giants lineup. So look, he 257 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 2: hasn't spent a lot of time on the field. He 258 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 2: had the hammy thing, and he's de aged a little 259 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 2: bit more. I think he will be back at first 260 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 2: base pretty regularly here coming up, I asked the other day, 261 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,079 Speaker 2: as he is at the plan, and that remains the 262 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 2: plan he will be at. But there's nothing that's going 263 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,079 Speaker 2: to make him feel more comfortable than starting the station 264 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 2: against his old nemesis the Yankees. He's trust me. If 265 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 2: anybody's ready, it's Raphaeldevers. 266 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: I like it. I didn't even think of that angle, 267 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: So good point by you. I agree one hundred percent. 268 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: The matchup I'm most concerned about is when you think 269 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: of Aaron Judge and you think of Cody Bellinger, you 270 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 1: think of some of the Yankees players. John Carlos Stantons 271 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 1: had a sneaky awesome spring for the Yankees. I've watched 272 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: some of the games. He has four home runs, he's 273 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: leading the team hitting around two seventy two eighty. But 274 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: his outs, everything's on the barrel. He's spread out, his stance, 275 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: he's going no stride. So I've watched his last two 276 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 1: games on MLB Network, and he's the hottest Yankee hitter, 277 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: So Logan Web, Robbie Ray versus John Carlos Stanton those 278 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 1: first two games, the first two opening games, he's been 279 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 1: absolutely lighting up for the Yankees. So a guy that 280 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: maybe you wouldn't have thought of because of all the 281 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: injuries over the past years, that maybe a little past 282 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: his prime, you know, when he was MVP as a Marlin, 283 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: But like, this guy's absolutely locked in. He seems he's 284 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 1: on a mission. So while you have Judge and you 285 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: were like, oh, let's avoid Judge, circle him careful for 286 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: John Carlow Stanton. So Giants fans keep an eye on 287 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: that matchup for this opening series. 288 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like every time I see Stanton he's 289 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 2: just amazing. So I'm not even sure I would say 290 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 2: past his prime. This is a guy who I think 291 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 2: is going to be an elite power hitter for a 292 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 2: long time. It's the only thing that's been the injuries. 293 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 2: Obviously when he's swinging the bat, well, he is the 294 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 2: guy you focus on, which is crazy when you talk 295 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 2: about that lineup and Aaron Judges in it. But yeah, 296 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 2: it's a tall this is a tall task. So one 297 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 2: of the things we've talked about FP so much, really 298 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 2: even before the season, was what a mystery the bullpen 299 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 2: is right? Left handed relievers are going to be really 300 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 2: even more important in this series, and clearly the Giants 301 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 2: feel like they still have some work to do on 302 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 2: the left side. Eric Miller has looked fantastic, but his 303 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 2: season was delayed. Spring was delayed by the back thing. 304 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 2: He had. Obviously had the shoulder issue last year. He's 305 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 2: put that behind him and he looks good. But he 306 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 2: has been used sort of. He's been getting extra days arrest. 307 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 2: We haven't seen him go back to back. I don't 308 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 2: think he necessarily needs to. And of course this week 309 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 2: the Giants have the two days off in the five 310 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 2: days that will help. No question, he's on the team. 311 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 2: This guy is, you know, potentially a guy who he 312 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 2: can even sort of be closing depending on the matchup 313 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 2: in the ninth inning. But Joey Lokasey, who we all 314 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 2: really kind of took a shine to last year and 315 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 2: is from Newark, local guy, saved the Giants rear end 316 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 2: and the whole mullpen in July. He was fantastic. He 317 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 2: requested an opt out. He clearly has some sort of 318 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 2: stability somewhere else. So the Giants go out and add 319 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 2: a new reliever from the left side. No, we still 320 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 2: don't know if it's going to be Gauge or Ryan Burke. 321 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 2: Did you get a chance to talk to him or 322 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 2: talk to anybody about Brookie yesterday? What are the plans? 323 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, Barokie, I think is how you say it. And 324 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: he's he's the left I talked to Tony Vaitello on 325 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: the bench yesterday about him, and he said they watched 326 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: him throw against hitters the other day and he's got 327 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: a low arm angle, and he's got a split, a slider, 328 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: a big sweeper, and his average against left on left 329 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: is one twenty five. So they really like what they 330 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: saw from him. And when you talk about the bullpen 331 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: and how you're going to piece it together, I think 332 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: it's going to be a combination of maybe Caleb Keelin 333 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: makes the team. He's been super impressive in spring training 334 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: ninety and the third innings He's given up eleven hits, 335 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: given six hits, a couple of walks, and struck out eleven, 336 00:16:55,480 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: so he might make the team. So some combination of Bouteaux, Keel, Baruki, 337 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: Eric Miller, who I think is the eighth inning guy 338 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: based on who's coming up in the eighth, what part 339 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: of the order that is, and then Ryan Walker in 340 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:14,679 Speaker 1: the ninth. I'm strangely not afraid of the Giants bullpen 341 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 1: right now. I think there's a lot of not like 342 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: frontline names that you would think of, but guys that 343 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: have good stuff and good potential. And we'll see how 344 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 1: this whole thing plays out, and how Tony handles the 345 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 1: bullpen in what order it's in and when they come 346 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 1: in the game is going to be super interesting to me. 347 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: So I'm not afraid of the Giants bullpen. I think 348 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: they got some guys that can really let it rip 349 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 1: down there. You get a different look from a guy 350 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 1: with low three quarter lefty that's kind of a crossfire 351 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: guy that has success against lefties. Eric Miller could get 352 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: lefties and Righty's out, and then the key to me 353 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: is Ryan Walker. When he walks out hopefully on opening 354 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: night for a save opportunity, does he keep that confidence 355 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 1: that he had in spring training. 356 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's really determined. What we've seen from him has 357 00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 2: been terrific. He looks great and he's really wants to 358 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 2: grab the closer roll and hang on to it. 359 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 4: Now. 360 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 2: I don't think we've mentioned this a few times. I 361 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 2: don't think Tony Vetelo is necessarily the kind of manager 362 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 2: who's going to even name a closer. I think he 363 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 2: is sometimes going to go match up. You get to 364 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,640 Speaker 2: the part of an opposing lineup, say in the eighth 365 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 2: that is better suited for Walker, and a lot of 366 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 2: lefties coming up in the night, we might see a 367 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 2: little bit of a switch up there and either one 368 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 2: of them can handle that. But I think Ryan Walker 369 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 2: will get the bulk of the assignment, and he's just 370 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 2: so ready for it. He seems a different person is 371 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 2: putting it a little too strongly. But this is the 372 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 2: most emotion sort of drive we've seen from him. He's 373 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 2: outright saying I want the job, this is my job. 374 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 2: I you know, you got to love that. That is fantastic, 375 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 2: But I think we probably need to take care of 376 00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 2: some more business here before we. 377 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 1: Do, though, I want to say one thing real quick. 378 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: Your closer is going to name himself. That's why Tony's 379 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: saying that whoever gets the job done is going to 380 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: be the closer. And that's kind of what he's saying 381 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 1: by like, uh, like you named yourself, this is my 382 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 1: role and you're going to do that by success. All right, 383 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 1: let's take care of some business. 384 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 4: Hey, if you hit the age where everything feels a 385 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 4: little bit more difficult the jim yes, but everything like 386 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 4: energy crashes in the afternoon. 387 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 3: You know, you might have been reading about low T 388 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 3: and you see your doctor about it and they want 389 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 3: to give you basically shots every week for the rest 390 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 3: of your life. 391 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: Oh cool, that sounds fun. 392 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 3: And then you dig deeper and you realize what you're 393 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 3: signing up for, and it's three grand a year to 394 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 3: shut down your body's natural production forever. 395 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 4: That is brutal mars Men gives you the same benefits 396 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 4: of optimized testosterone, energy, strength, focus, without shutting your body down. 397 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 4: No synthetics, no needles, no dependencies. It's like hitting the 398 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 4: reset button on your hormone factory. Instead of shutting it down. 399 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: For a limited time. 400 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 3: Our listeners get fifty percent off for life, plus free 401 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 3: shipping and three free gifts that men go to Mars 402 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 3: dot com.

Uh, 408 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,159 Speaker 1: what's the last thing we were supposed to cover? I 409 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 1: nailed the first ones, but I forgot the last one. 410 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,479 Speaker 2: Well, you know what, I actually have one more thing 411 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 2: to say about the bullpen. I uh, and now I've 412 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 2: completely lost my Traine. 413 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, So let's go Stanford. 414 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 2: The the who do we think? I mean? They're the 415 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 2: question marks really are sort of more in the middle. 416 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 2: Spencer Bevens has been a really good soldier for the Giants. 417 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 2: He's done well in that. I think he's on the team. 418 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 2: They do need along man Tristan Beck has often done 419 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 2: that role. They've talked a lot about putting one of 420 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 2: the young starters in. We assumed it was Trevor McDonald 421 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 2: for quite some time, and he's he had a little 422 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 2: bit of a rougher end to the Cactus League than 423 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 2: I think they would have liked. That to me is 424 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 2: a little up in the air. You know, wizen Hunt 425 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 2: got sent out for a while back at Hayden Bird 426 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 2: Songs having surgery. Where do you see them going with 427 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 2: the long man? And look, nobody wants to use a 428 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 2: long man, especially early on, but they got to have one. 429 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: I like Tristan Beck because I like Tristan Beck. I mean, 430 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 1: he was a starter in the minor leagues. I still 431 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 1: think he can be a big league starter. His velocity 432 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: was up to ninety eight, which he usually sits around 433 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 1: ninety five, and spring training, I don't know what the 434 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: numbers are, but that's the guy I'm rooting for to 435 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:47,119 Speaker 1: be the swing guy. And Spencer Bivens, he's been so 436 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,439 Speaker 1: valuable for the Giants. A Swiss Army knife. He can 437 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 1: be an opener, he could be a closer, he can 438 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: be a setup guy, he can be a long man. 439 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: Vivens to me, has got to be on the team 440 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: for sure. He's just you know, paid his dues. It's 441 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 1: a wonderful story and he's a wonderful guy too. On 442 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: top of it. So always rooting for those two. So 443 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 1: we'll see how it shakes out. 444 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 2: Miss Spencer's hair. I hope he's growing it back. He's 445 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 2: got if you haven't seen him yet, he's got like 446 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 2: a his hair's gone. It's very upciting. Yeah, maybe we should. 447 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 2: I think we were going to talk about the lineup, 448 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,439 Speaker 2: but with the opening day roster kind of right ahead, 449 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 2: I think sending down Bryce Eldridge obviously opens up that 450 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 2: spot for Jerar and Crnacion. I don't think there's any 451 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 2: question about that. Who's your fourth outfielder Jeremy. 452 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: Via the opening day first basement against Max Reed the lefty, 453 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 1: and don't be surprised if you see that with Devers 454 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 1: as the DH. 455 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 2: In the lineup, who's your fourth outfielder? 456 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I like Jared Oliva. I mean it's too 457 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: much of a force for me. I know he's a 458 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: journey man. He's thirty years old, but a guy that 459 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: didn't really play in high school, that walked on in 460 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 1: u of A. It's such a great story. He had 461 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,880 Speaker 1: a cup of coffee at the Pirates as he describes 462 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: that it wasn't just the right timing for him. When 463 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 1: you talk about what you to do to make a 464 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: major league ball club. He's done it, whether it's you know, 465 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 1: pinch running in the ninth nning, stealing second and third 466 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: on two pitches, tagging up on a fly ball, and 467 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 1: tying the game. When you are trying to make a 468 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: major league team, you got to go out there with 469 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 1: a fearless, aggressive nature that forces the issue. You can't 470 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: be timid. He plays plus defense at every position. He 471 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: adds team speed on a team that desperately needs team speed, 472 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 1: and he's just done everything. Right. Do I know if 473 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: he's going to make the team. I don't know, and 474 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 1: I've heard both sides, but I'd be bummed if he 475 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,360 Speaker 1: didn't because as a journeyman in a twenty eight year 476 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: old rookie myself, I root for guys like that. So 477 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: I hope he makes the team because it's not just 478 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: a great story. The guy adds value to the San 479 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: Francisco Giants. And I know there's options and this and 480 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: guys out of options, and there's all these other things 481 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: that go into it. But if you want the one 482 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,479 Speaker 1: guy in camp that is this year's Christian cost, it's 483 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 1: Jared Oliver. 484 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, it's a crazy story. You know, he 485 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 2: told me he was a backup the entire way through 486 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 2: high school. He did play a little bit with the Pirates, 487 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 2: So that's an incredible story. You know, doesn't start in 488 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 2: high school. Can anybody say that in the big leagues 489 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 2: that they didn't start their entire way through high school? 490 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 2: That's crazy? And then makes it to the big leagues. 491 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 2: But he hasn't played in the big leagues in five years. 492 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 2: He was playing in the Dominican last year and in 493 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 2: Mexico he's hung on. I love these stories. You love 494 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 2: it kind of for a more personal reason. I love 495 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 2: it because it just shows the sheer passion, the love 496 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 2: of the game. There are just no guarantees. But for 497 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 2: somebody like that who's had to fight every step of 498 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 2: the way to keep going is amazing. And also to 499 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 2: still be that fast at thirty, that's a good way 500 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 2: to go. But one of the most impressive things I 501 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 2: think we saw all spring was all of it coming 502 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 2: into Pinch Run Giants down in the ninth by one, 503 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 2: immediately taking second, then taking third. Everyone knew who was 504 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,719 Speaker 2: gonna happen, and then scores on a and Carnacion's sacrifice fly. 505 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 2: I was like Okay, there is a guy who could 506 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 2: account almost on his own for several more wins in 507 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 2: the course of a season. The Giants did not have 508 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 2: something like that last year. I'm off for it. The 509 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 2: problem is you mentioned options that probably means Matos is 510 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 2: not on the opening day roster. I would love to 511 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 2: see him go somewhere where he could play all the time. 512 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 2: He has not learned the trick of sitting on the 513 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 2: bench for three or four days and not playing, which 514 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 2: you really need your fourth outfielder to be able to do. 515 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 2: His outfield defense is not plus where somebody, like all 516 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 2: of us is so. But we've talked a little bit before. 517 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 2: With the two days off, they could squeeze both on 518 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,360 Speaker 2: if they say, leave Landen Roupe in Arizona to get 519 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 2: in some work and then have him join the roster 520 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 2: when they need a fifth starter. I could see them 521 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 2: doing that. I asked by Tello if that was in 522 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 2: the plans. He said it had been discussed, but it 523 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 2: sounded at the time it was just three or four 524 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 2: days ago, that they were leading. Maybe a little against 525 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 2: doing it that way, but it would let them keep 526 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 2: Matos well. 527 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: Some guys just get it later in life. Some guys 528 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 1: mature differently than others, and I think it's just a 529 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: confidence level with him. And sometimes you just have a 530 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: fit with a manager, with an organization, with a ball club, 531 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:25,880 Speaker 1: and so like in his case, like let's go, let's 532 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: see what he can do. I mean, And this season two, 533 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 1: like the big leagues for me was an easier place 534 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: to play. And sometimes you hit something in the minor leagues, 535 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 1: but then you get to the big leagues and the 536 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,120 Speaker 1: reason it was easier is because the backdrops are better, 537 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 1: the lighting's better, the pitchers are around the plate more. 538 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,400 Speaker 1: It's not like grenade launchers and the minor leagues where 539 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: you never know where it's going, the lighting's bad, you 540 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 1: got crappy bats, crappy facilities. When I got to the 541 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 1: big leagues, I'm like, this is in a sense a 542 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 1: little bit easier because the pitchers are all right in 543 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: this little box, and the strike zones a little bit 544 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: smaller than it is, the umpires are better. Everything's better 545 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: at the big league level, and you have all the 546 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: resources you possibly need to get better, whether it's the 547 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: batting cages, whether it's more coaches, whether it's video, whether 548 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: it's scattery reports. Sometimes in some certain cases, it's an 549 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 1: easier place to play, and that might be what he's 550 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 1: going through right now. But he's he's a force. He's 551 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: got to make this team and if he doesn't, I'll 552 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: be bummed. 553 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 2: Well, I was, you know, one of our categories. I 554 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 2: think I threw up for maybe later in the week. 555 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 2: Over the course of the year as the hottest take. 556 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 2: I think you might have provided a hopstick of the 557 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 2: week already. With the major leagues easier than Triple A. 558 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 2: It is, the. 559 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: Travels easier, the planes are easier. It is, I mean, 560 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 1: the competition levels higher. But like in Triple A, sometimes 561 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 1: you're just like, oh, we just got in at you know, 562 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 1: eleven o'clock. We got to the hotel at noon, and 563 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 1: now the bus leaves for the ballpark at two, and 564 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 1: I sat middle seat on a commercial flight and I 565 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 1: got to play a game that night. When you're just 566 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: totally wiped out, it's more conducive to success. I firmly 567 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: believe that that some guys hit better in the big 568 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: leagues than they did in the minor leagues. And sometimes 569 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 1: it's just your time, and right now I think it's 570 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:16,400 Speaker 1: Jared all of his time. 571 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 2: I just I just look at the at the big 572 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 2: league pitching. I think that there's just no way. But hey, 573 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,959 Speaker 2: you are the former player, so I'm still gonna call 574 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 2: it a pretty hot take. 575 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: Though. 576 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 2: Lineup, Shall we talk about the lineup really fast? Do 577 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 2: you have strong feelings about, say, who should hit leadoff 578 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 2: and where anybody else should should hit. I know that 579 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 2: certainly in Sacramento last night most of the regulars were 580 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 2: not there. They let them kind of go unpack and 581 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 2: you know, find places to live if they don't have 582 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 2: them yet. But do you have strong feelings on the 583 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 2: regular lineup? 584 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: I don't have strong feelings, but I like Matt Chapman 585 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 1: toward the top. I just think he is probably one 586 00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 1: of the most underrated speed guys in baseball and runners 587 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 1: in baseball. We don't think about Matt Chapman as being fast, 588 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: but he's fast, and he's a great base runner, and 589 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: he could be a force at the top of the lineup. 590 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: I like a rise a little bit outs. He's going 591 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: to put the ball in play, and he's going to 592 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 1: be an RBI situations where maybe he hasn't been a 593 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: big RBI guy. I think he had sixty something last 594 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: year for the podcres, which is a good number, but 595 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: as we've seen unique contact in those situations. So I 596 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: like Chapye toward the top, whether it's one or two. 597 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to lead off, and Jung 598 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: Hu Lee, I think, is your leadoff hitter. So I 599 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 1: don't know where Devers and a Damis and Ramos and 600 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 1: all those guys slot in. And I think it's going 601 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: to be kind of a touchy feely, working progress kind 602 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 1: of thing where if you find something that works, you 603 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: just go with it. So I think the actual lineup 604 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 1: is not that big a deal because it's going to 605 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: fluctuate so much throughout the course of the season. 606 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 2: Well, I like a rise at the top of the lineup. 607 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 2: So one of our rare disagreements, I think, you know, 608 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 2: Junghu Lee, maybe you do it. Maybe you do have 609 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 2: him lead off early. He did have a nice spring, 610 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 2: was a breview of course because of the WBC, but 611 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 2: he hit this spring, so did Chapman. So maybe not 612 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 2: necessarily a bad way to go like that, go with 613 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 2: the hot guys. But I think over the course of 614 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 2: this season, especially based on what we saw Jung who 615 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 2: last year, I like Jung Hu a little bit lower 616 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 2: in the lineup, you know, uh, just depending on maybe 617 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 2: how he's swinging the bat, but our eyes is just 618 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 2: so consistently on base. I really like him, you know, 619 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 2: sort of one too. And I like Chapman a little, 620 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 2: you know, Chapman's power. I like him maybe three four, 621 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 2: depending on if you're going left right, left right, which 622 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 2: they can do. Not a lot of left lefty bats 623 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 2: on the on the bench. 624 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't hate I don't hate that at all. 625 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 1: The reason I'm kind of leaning toward Jung who at 626 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 1: the top, is because he's been hitting the ball the 627 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,719 Speaker 1: other way. Remember he gets pull happy sometimes where he's 628 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 1: ground out to first and second a lot. He's really 629 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 1: worked on his swing going the other way, and he's 630 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: worked on his bunting. I mean he's laid down some bunts. 631 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: He's been working on bunding. And then I think if 632 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: he's more aggressive as a big stealer this year, he 633 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 1: has speed that can steal twenty to thirty bases if 634 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 1: he wants to. Last year, the Giants wanted him to 635 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: steal and he wouldn't go. So I think with Tony 636 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 1: Vitello as a manager, he's going to be like, dude, 637 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 1: we need you to steal. So he's a pitch count guy. 638 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: He works, he can work a walk. He's going he 639 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: seems like he's three to two almost every at bat. 640 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 1: So I'm leaning toward Jung Who right now, But I 641 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: wouldn't hate it if a rise that off too. 642 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, and we'll see. You know, most teams can't do 643 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 2: like what the Dodgers do and have a set lineup 644 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 2: every single day we come to the parking you know 645 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 2: who's hitting where. That's okay with me. You know, a 646 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 2: lot of it should depend on the matchup that day 647 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,719 Speaker 2: and who's swinging a hot bat. I have zero problem 648 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 2: with with mixing things up. I know a lot of 649 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 2: fans feel like they want they want to see the 650 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 2: regular guys in regular spots, know who they're going to 651 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 2: see when they come to the ballpark every day. That 652 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 2: is just not the way things typically go down in 653 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 2: the analytics age. So it's going to be interesting to see, 654 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,959 Speaker 2: you know. Tony Vaitello said the other day pretty firmly 655 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 2: that it's look, it's a collaboration with the front office 656 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 2: and the coaching staff and they talk everything out.
