After a majestic walk-off grand slam on Friday, the Giants have given up 31 runs in 3 games.
L 13-7
L 10-2
L 8-1
They're 2 games out of the wild card with 12 to go, and a 75-75 record. They do not belong in the conversation about playoffs and need to throw everything at the Dodgers to sink their ship.
I, for one, am pulling for the Giants to make the playoffs. Listening to Mets fans whine never gets old.
I'm not sure if it directly means that pitching has gotten so much better or what else may be different (maybe more concentration on power hitting?), but it seems odd that there are only six players batting over .300 at this point.

Dragging a bit today... woke up at 3am...turned on the replay without knowing how it ended, and then Duran (who is the game "winning pitcher"?) gave up the homer in the 9th and Robertson loaded the bases with 1 out in the 10th. Couldn't fall back to sleep... but worth it.
Now we need to lock down one of the top 2 seeds so they get a buy in the wildcard round.
Yep. A commish with balls would just ban gambling like Judge Landis did, ban some players for life like Landis did, and say "come at me." These esoteric rulings on severability etc. need to be challenged with a more simple ruling: gambling destroys legitimate industries and that is the greater evil.
Well I was wrong about them after the Allstar Game. We are SMOKINâ
I did not see this coming at all. I remember saying to you in this thread that the season was largely over. Now they've passed the Yankmes and are within striking distance of the Jays. I really wish they'd added another quality starter by the deadline, though.
Also shocking but over a long time span: Jarren Duran went from being a messed-up rookie who gave up after a fly ball went over his head (allowing an inside-the-park HR) to being a defensive whiz and all-round star whom the Sox wouldn't trade.
If you haven't checked it out, Gene, the Netflix documentary about Boston's '24 season is quite good.
