Giants' Vitello Faces Early Struggles in Majors

0:00On April 7th, San Francisco Giants' new skipper, Tony Vitello, is facing a rocky start in his jump from college coaching to the majors. The team says that three wins and seven losses after 10 games outscored by 25 runs. The worst mark for the franchise since 18. 96. That's tied for their second worst opening since moving to the Bay Area in 1958. Vitello got ejected for the first time Sunday in a 5-2 loss to the Mets, their third straight defeat, and a weakened sweep for New York. He argued a call on Jarrar and Carnation, running inside the base path. Before facing the Phillies Monday, he chatted with third baseman Matt Chapman about Chapman's caught stealing in the 9th after a leadoff hit. Players are backing their manager despite the slump. Chapman called it, frustrating sloppy play, but not the season story. Glad it's early with time to rebound. Centerfielder Harrison Bader praised by Tello's winning buy from the SEC, saying the passion translates even at this level.

1:01Coming from Tennessee, Vitello knew there'd be a learning curve with big league speed and fans. His energy from spring training has players appreciating the fire, even as he dissects every decision and apologizes to his family for being all. The Giants hope a series wins Sparks Momentum in the tough NL West, where they've missed playoffs for straight years. Vitello's determined to turn it around one game at a time.
