Bruce Bochy Back in the Bay

Bruce Bochy is BACK with the San Francisco Giants — and he's opening up about how it all came together. The legendary three-time World Series champion joins the show to discuss Buster Posey's phone call, his new advisory role helping the front office and manager Tony Vitello, and why he's "grateful" to return to the Bay Area after stepping away from the Texas Rangers.
Bochy doesn't hold back on the Tony Vitello hire, defending the college coach against Joe Maddon's recent criticism about hiring someone with "no professional experience." Bruce explains why baseball has fundamentally changed with analytics and information, why Vitello is "smart" and "good with people," and gives his best piece of advice for the new Giants manager: "Just be yourself."
