Hour 1: The Tugboat Makes a Splash

This morning on the show, we had the pleasure of talking to the newest Giant, Matt Tugboat Wilkinson, who made his major league debut last night in Cleveland. The 23-year-old pitcher threw two scoreless innings, striking out a few batters and impressing the crowd with his "invisible" fastball. But what's behind this unique pitch, and what's next for Tugboat in the Giants' rotation? We dive into the details of his debut and what it means for the team's future.

Tugboat's story is one of perseverance and hard work. From his days in the Little League World Series to his time in the minor leagues, he's been honing his skills and waiting for his chance to shine. And shine he did, with a impressive performance that left everyone talking. But what's behind his success? We explore the intricacies of his pitching style and what makes him a valuable asset to the Giants.

Our conversation with Tugboat was enlightening, to say the least. We talked about everything from his childhood days playing baseball to his time in the minor leagues and his thoughts on the current state of the game. And of course, we had to ask about his "invisible" fastball - what's the secret behind it, and how does he make it so difficult for batters to hit? You'll have to listen to the full episode to find out.

Join us as we chat with Tugboat about his journey to the big leagues and what's next for this talented young pitcher. We also discuss the current state of the Giants and what they can expect from their new addition. Don't miss this exciting conversation and tune in to hear the full episode!
