Today’s game smelled like the turgid corpse of the Giants, freshly rotting from their series win and death-farting their way through a bad loss at Fenway Park this afternoon. Today’s game sounded like a fastball slapping a catcher’s mitt as the Giants’ swung and missed.
If you watched any part of this afternoon’s game, you learned nothing from it except that maybe Madison Bumgarner’s best bet for a long career is to stay in the National League and avoid AL teams whenever possible. And to never pitch on the road.
Bumgarner just hit 200 innings.
