On a non-trivial topic, the Giants won again, 9-5, to take the homestand four games to three.  Giants had thirteen hits today, as Hernandez, Belt and Hundley hit home runs.  Belt had a nice assist to throw out a Rockie at home.  Game ended with Story trying to take third on a wild pitch that bounced in the air, Posey leapt (as it were) and fired a strike to Longoria who tagged out Story on the head, thereby ending the game at third with the final out, a massive no-no when it comes to the unwritten rules.

Also, Posey hit a triple so I bought a lottery ticket.  There must be some magical odds somewhere.

Crawford’s throw home to nail the runner today brought back memories of Game 7 in the 2014 World Series.  At the time, there were questions regarding whether Gordon should have tried to score after Blanco kicked his base hit around the outfield.  Once again, Crawford showed why that would have been a fool’s errand.  He has a great arm (his throw home today was 90+ mph)...
