9-9 in LA after Dodgers hit three solo HRs in the 8th.

Dodgers were up 5-1 with Scherzer and fell behind 9-5.

 

*long unintelligible but possibly vulgar tirade directed at the Dodgers*

 

11-9 Dodgers! Four HR eighth

 

Dylan Hernandez has to trash a good lead

 

Magic number for Giants now at 3. Bumgarmer to pitch for D' backs Thursday.

 

This is no disrespect to the Cardinals and the winning streak they just went on, but the Dodgers need to advance out of the wild card game just from a baseball karma standpoint

 

No problems here. Maybe that’s a you thing.

 

“Oh, here’s one more for Soto, maybe more a curiosity than a credential: Of the 178 major league hitters who have at least 400 plate appearances this year, guess how many walk more often than they strike out.
The answer is one: Juan Soto. Soto’s 139 walks to 87 strikeouts is good for a 1.60 ratio. Next best: Minnesota utility man Luis Arraez, whose walk-to-strikeout ratio is but 0.91. “ https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2021/09/29/juan-soto-national-league-mvp/

 

Remember K Rod in 2002 ( of course I do)? Giants finally have someone like that, remember this name, Camilo Doval, 100+ gas and wipeout slider from a sweet smooth 3/4 delivery. Never seen someone like that in a Giants uni in 50 yrs.

 

All games on Sunday start at the same time, right?

Let's hope the Giants lead is 1 just for the anal puckery of it all.
