Summary
Is Tony Vitello being disrespected around Major League Baseball? After another Giants series loss, Vitello revealed that his latest ejection got “personal, real quick,” with questions about his lack of professional experience apparently becoming part of the interaction. We discuss whether umpires and others around the league still view Vitello differently because he jumped directly from college baseball to managing the Giants, whether he needs to adjust his approach, and how much of this is simply something he'll have to endure until he establishes himself at the major-league level. Buster Posey has made it clear Vitello will return in 2027, while Vitello says he's willing to go through “hell or high water” to turn the Giants around. Plus, Willy Adames is officially out as his injury-plagued season comes to an end, and we take a closer look at Anthony Molina and what the Giants may have in the pitcher acquired at the trade deadline.
