## Resource

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back to cover the latest unconventional chapter for Buster Posey’s Giants. Tony Vitello will be the Giants' next manager, the first skipper ever to jump from college to the pros with no coaching experience in MLB. It’s a swing that feels equal parts inspired and insane. Maybe Vitello’s edge and energy is exactly what the Giants need. Or maybe a veteran-laden roster will want nothing to do with it. We'll find out real soon. Here's what else is on tap: 8:43 — Should Buster Posey build to beat the Dodgers? 17:58 — What drew the Giants to Tony Vitello? 27:29 — Who’s going to be on the coaching staff? 29:41 — How much of Gabe Kapler's influence lingers on? 37:36 — Why Connor’s more interested in Giants coverage than ever Subscribe to Connor’s newsletter at giantspostcards.com , follow Kerry at the San Francisco Standard, and leave the guys a review if you want a shoutout on the show.
