Giants win a very Coors Field game
Photo by Matthew Stockman/Getty ImagesThe San Francisco Giants game against the Colorado Rockies on Monday started ominously.
The first pitch of the game, a 92-mph slider from Chad Kuhl to LaMonte Wade Jr., was outside by somewhere between a mile and a kilometer (who knows the difference, really). It was called a strike.
See, here it is, hiding behind that purple ball.
Wade overcame the grave injustice to get on base with a single. The next batter of the game, Thairo Estrada, then struck out on an equally egregious call. Here, look at lucky little No. 6.
Ominous. But it is Coors Field, after all, where ominousness reigns supreme.
