[Giants]

Prior to Saturday’s game, Showalter had some thoughts about the Giants (following his observations re: Bailey’s terrific defensive play that put SF in a position to win the game):  

“…they seem to be able to defend and they’re able to take their backup catcher and put him in left field.  That kid in center (Luis Matos) is young and athletic and can run the ball down.  A lot of times, when a team starts playing better, a lot of it is attributed to defense”.  

I find it interesting that opposing managers are commenting how well the San Francisco D is playing.
