Gamer 9/23/15: Somehow, someway, Giants still in it

When Bruce Bochy wrote out his lineup card for Tuesday night’s game against the Padres, his team was facing a seven-game deficit in the NL West with only 13 left to play. His team needs a miracle to return to the postseason, but there is reason yet to maintain a glimmer of hope. Yet Bochy’s scratched-out batting order did little to instill confidence in the masses: Brandon Crawford batting cleanup with Kelby Tomlinson, Ehire Adrianza and Trevor Brown rounding out the bottom of the order. Buster Posey, Hunter Pence, Brandon Belt, Nori Aoki, Joe Panik and Gregor Blanco were nowhere to be found.
