3 things to watch as Vitello guides Giants into Cactus League play
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Tony Vitello has never attended a Spring Training game, which makes sense, considering he worked exclusively in college baseball before he was elevated to manage the Giants in October.
“Everybody says it’s a party down here,” Vitello said. “It seems to be a vibrant environment that everybody talks about.”
Vitello will get his first taste of Cactus League action when the Giants kick off their spring slate against the Mariners at Peoria Sports Complex on Saturday. Everybody knows Spring Training games don’t count, but they should still be instructive for Vitello, who will get a feel for the ebb and flow of Major League competition and start familiarizing himself with new elements such as the Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) Challenge System.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — It’s wild to contemplate, but San Francisco Giants rookie manager Tony Vitello has never attended or participated in a major-league spring training game. He doesn’t know how the environment looks or feels. He isn’t sure if a Cactus League exhibition is more like a scrimmage, an intrasquad or a nonconference game.
“Everybody says it’s a party down here,” said Vitello, who might feel differently once he experiences the very septuagenarian vibe of a game against the Milwaukee Brewers at Maryvale.

Giants spring training broadcast and radio schedule
It’s an especially exciting time for San Francisco Giants fans. Not only do we get our first glimpse of how the team will perform under the leadership of trailblazing manager Tony Vitello, but we also get to see tons of exciting prospects in action. The Giants farm system is stronger than at any point in recent memory, and opportunities will be in abundance, given that the organization is sending a cavalry — including their entire starting outfield — to the World Baseball Classic.
Thankfully, preseason baseball is modernizing. Not only is every Cactus League stadium now equipped with Statcast gear, but there are more televised games that starved-for-baseball Giants fans have grown accustomed to. So here’s the complete schedule for the preseason, with dates, times, and, most importantly, TV schedules. Some of the games listed as being broadcast by the Giants will be available to those with access to NBC Sports Bay Area, while others will be a webcast online. The games broadcast by the opposing team can be watched on MLB TV (subscription required, with exceptions noted) or, depending on the broadcast, online.
