Gamethread: 2016 Wild Card Game

Due to the coronavirus outbreak suspending the 2020 MLB season, we’re rewatching memorable San Francisco Giants games on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights at 6 p.m. PT, with a gamethread for each.

The San Francisco Giants limped their way into the 2016 postseason. After setting a blistering pace in the early going, and entering the All-Star break with a 57-33 record, the Giants finished the year 30-42, and flirted with missing the playoffs.

But their 87-75 record was good enough to earn the second Wild Card spot, and book them a trip to Citi Field to face the New York Mets, who sported the same record.
