@vweoinf@gggiants Justin Meccage is the pitching coach but the SF “director of major league pitching” is Frank Anderson, a friend of Vitello’s who coached 40 years in college. No MLB experience but I’ll bet he’s got Tony’s ear.
@giantssfcentral I know you can’t blame a manager for how players play. But all these guys are veteran PROS, capable of better play and they know how to win. The one addition to the ‘26 mix who’s never ridden minor league busses or dealt with MLB egos and strategy is .. Vitello.
@Deez4sho78 The most games he ever coached in a season at Tennessee was 73 in 2024. Think he’ll make 74 this year? That last pitching change looked really amateurish.
One of the officials in tonight’s NCAA title game is Kipp Kissinger. He played for Nebraska Wesleyan in the 1997 Division III championship game that was won by Illinois Wesleyan #d3hoops#IWUBasketball
