I set out this year planning to post about every Giants game the same day it was played or at least before the next game was started.
That didn’t last long. Life has a way of messing with plans.
Since my last post, then, the Giants have notched two wins against the Dodgers, routing them 12-6 in the home opener Thursday. That one goes solidly into my “won with hitting” column. Last night in a drippy game that my friends Vicky, Mary Ann and Sue attended together, the orange-and-black pulled out a 4-3 win over their SoCal nemesis. That one goes into the “decided by pitching” category. The G-Men managed just two hits in the game. Of course, both of them were homers, but still.
So the Giants went into today’s game 4-1 atop the NL West. My tally so far says three of their games have been decided by pitching, two by hitting, which still runs counter to my pre-season prognostication.
Like I keep saying, the season is young.
