Tony Vitello, the Giants manager, and I was remiss in asking you about a play a couple of days ago, which I had only seen a play like that really on video before, but it was kind of a brilliant play because it was a play at second base, a forced play that was going to end the inning.

And...

He was actually already on his way to Philadelphia when the announcement was made.

Tony Vitello is under the impression that he's been playing with it for certainly more than a year.

He said it could be going back years.

Look, we don't cover a lot of core muscle injuries.

So but by...

Tony Vitello said, "I think it's something that's bothered him for a few years now."

Okay.

Oh.

"And kind of something that was a mystery to him." Okay.

And it's harder than it's ever been because of the interference that you have all around you.

When Tony Vitello was at college, he was in charge of everything.

What he said went no matter what.

He's the coach of the team.

That happened.

And he was relaying a story that he had heard about how Rafi and Tony Vitello hashed it out on the plane coming back from Miami.

And Kruko's phrase, and I kind of, I mean, earnestly, I rolled my eyes when he said it, was Tony Vitello became a big league manager on that plane ride home.

And you're like, okay, we all know who cuts the checks, this and that.

I don't buy into that 100%, but I do also think that Tony, and maybe this would have just happened with time anyway, and the timeline's aligned here, but I do think that Tony has found more of himself since Devers has had that moment they had the blow up sometimes you just need to have the fight so that it all clears the air and there was a lot of weirdness there's still weirdness not arguing there isn't but Tony I think started to become a bit more and you can speak to the clubhouse element of this um which is usually from what all things I've heard pretty good but um it felt like he was maybe a bit more authoritative from that point on.

And now you get all these kids around him now, and you're like, oh, Tony's in his element.
