Former Tennessee Vols head coach Tony Vitello’s first two regular season games as the manager of the San Francisco Giants couldn’t have gone much worse.

The Giants are 0-2 after dropping their first two games of the season to the New York Yankees.

Not only are the Giants winless after two games, but they haven’t even scored a run yet this season.

It’s the first time in Giants franchise history that the team has been held scoreless in its first two games of the season.

The Giants lost 3-0. Their four hits through the first two games are the fewest in franchise history. This is the first time they've been shut out in the first two games of a season.

It’s obviously been a tough start to the Vitello era in San Francisco, but starting the season 0-2 doesn’t really mean much in the full picture of a 162 game MLB season.

For example, I’m a diehard New York Mets fan. I watched the Mets start 0-5 in 2024 before going on a magical run that ended with a loss in the NLCS to the Evil Empire Los Angeles Dodgers in six games (there was no World Series celebration, but it was a hell of a summer). A couple of losses in early March won’t define the Giants’ season or Vitello’s tenure in San Francisco.

But still, there are a lot of eyes on Vitello. And fair or not, the tough start to the season will increase the pressure on the former Tennessee head coach a bit.

It’ll be up to Vitello to stay the course, keep the vibe light in the clubhouse, and not press the panic button just because his team lost a couple of games — every team in the league is going to lose two in a row (or more) at some point this season.

The Giants will be back in action on Saturday as they look to salvage the series against the Yankees.
