The annual Giants-A's annual hissing match is upon us. Six glorious games in which fans of two organizations that both have much to be proud of go on social media and explain why the other side is wrong.
That's what rivalries are for, right?
Game 1 at AT&T Park on Friday night provides an interesting pitching matchup.
Madison Bumgarner faces one of the few teams that has had his number in a small sample size. Of all teams he has taken on at least five times, Bumgarner has fared the worst against Oakland, with a 5.18 ERA. (The worst against the National League is the Marlins, at 4.96.)
