First things first. Tonight’s title is not mine, but comes from Preston Salisbury in the Gameday, where they were very much rocking the gallows humor. Here is the comment in its entirety:
So, yeah. this one was grim pretty much from the start, though I was initially hopeful. Madison Bumgarner took the mound from the D-Backs, and it only took him two pitches to get past the first two batters. George Springer grounded out to Eduardo Escobar at third, and then Jose Altuve went down and sent MadBum’s second pitch about fifteen rows up in the left field seats.
