It was Buster Posey Day at Oracle Park today, and the San Francisco Giants honored their former catcher and future member of the retired jersey number club by hitting dingers and beating the St. Louis Cardinals 13-7, snapping a five-game losing streak.
It turns out that the secret to getting wins is the potential for Buster Posey’s disapproval. They’re going to need to tell everyone that he will be attending games at random and unannounced and they should play like he’s watching in every game. Because clearly, it made a difference.
This game was a perfect example of why the Giants’ mentality of never letting up in a blowout is actually important and not disrespectful.
