## Resource

The Giants crushed the Mariners 7-0 to kick off their second half, and manager Tony Vitello is already pushing for relentless consistency—no resting on wins, no slowing down. Willy Adames, though not officially captain, is emerging as the quiet leader the team trusts most, especially when the pressure mounts. Offensively, the lineup’s depth is becoming a nightmare for opponents: batting title contenders, 30-homer threats, and disciplined hitters all in one. On the mound, rotation tweaks are prioritizing rest and flexibility as August heats up. Vitello’s message? Celebrate the win, then reset for the next one—every day, every game, every pitch.
