Sometimes it’s important to move the goalposts in. The Giants probably won’t have a winning record against the Dodgers this year, but that doesn’t mean that every victory can’t be savored. Personally, I’m not rooting for the Giants to Beat LA, I’m rooting for them to not completely embarrass themselves. They managed to do both tonight, and that’s worth celebrating.
Not playing like they had their head stuck in a bucket was going to be important tonight considering baseball fans around the country were tuning in to see Julio Urías’s first start in two years.
