Got a chance to talk to him.

He had some good things to say about Bryce Harper and Garrett Cochet.

Talked to Harrison Bader.

He was really thoughtful on where he sees this team headed, where he sees himself headed.

And, of course, we'll round it all out by talking to old friend Adrian Hauser, who officially...

has a Puke and Rally t-shirt that was born on Baseball Isn't Boring in our interview last year.

Vibe is good, energy is good, and of course the weather in Scottsdale is tremendous.

But enjoy the interviews.

Thank you.

Tony, I appreciate your time.

How are you?

So you are a first-year manager with the San Francisco Giants, first year in Major League Baseball.

An article came out recently, you talking about Bryce Harper and his influence with you and what you've learned from him.

Can you expound on that a little bit more about what he's taught you and what he's given you advice on?

So Garrett Crochet was, you obviously coached him at Tennessee.

Pretty big, pretty big, pretty big pitcher these days, huh?

He's a big person and a big pitcher.

I mean, how proud are you to see Garrett Crochet be what he is in the big leagues?

Well, that is a wonderful story.

Garrett Crochet obviously has talked wonderfully lengths about how great you are.
