The biggest miss of the afternoon goes to Christian Koss.
It didn’t come with a bat in his hand, or a glove either — but with a Powerade cooler. As his teammates mobbed Wilmer Flores after his pinch-hit walk-off single, Koss, dutifully in his back-up infielder role, took up the celeb…
The biggest miss of the afternoon goes to Christian Koss.
It didn’t come with a bat in his hand, or a glove either — but with a Powerade cooler. As his teammates mobbed Wilmer Flores after his pinch-hit walk-off single, Koss, dutifully in his back-up infielder role, took up the celebratory fount, jogged the jug out onto the field, and looked for the man he aimed to anoint in the knot of bodies.
Who had the Giants leading the NL West a week and a half into the season? Probably the same person that had the top 3 NL West teams with 5 total losses a week and a half into the season.
Giants have yet to play against a +0.500 club. I suspect a strong reversion to the expected norm is coming quite soon, starting when they play the Yanks, Phils, and Angels on the Road.
Yup, banking wins is a good thing regardless. I don't think they're actually going to beat the Dodgers for the division, but with a fast start a wild card berth is reachable.
Walk-off — but Wilmer this time!

Stop the count!
At least the Dodgers would be in the WC game.

You grab wins anywhere you find them. This is something Gabe was generally not good at.

Would be interesting to see a Pads/Giants battle for a WC spot.
The NL is going to be a real scrum for those three WC slots. A lot of teams have reason to think they can get one.
This seems logical and expected. We shall see.
