Today two of my favorite things meet one of my least favorite things.
In one corner, the favorites: brunch baseball, and a double dose of baseball.
In the other corner, the least favorite: seven-inning baseball games.
I’m conflicted. Either way, the San Francisco Giants could find themselves with a big advantage today. The Washington Nationals were forced into a bullpen game on Friday when Max Scherzer was injured in the first inning. The Giants, on the other hand, got a complete game shutout from Anthony DeSclafani.
The Giants are running with their ace, Kevin Gausman for Game 1, so you would expect that they’ll have limited bullpen usage.
