PHOENIX — It wasn’t the first time a Giants starter learned of Tony Vitello’s plan when the first-year manager began to implement it or let it be known to the press. Tyler Mahle first and foremost blamed himself for not realizing that his workload would be limited in his second start back from the injured list, or where his pitch count stood when the fifth inning began of Monday’s 5-4 loss to the Diamondbacks. But these are things that shouldn’t require a pitcher to wonder, or even be especially alert.
