After dropping three of four to the New York Mets in their last series, the San Francisco Giants roared back in this three-game series against the Washington Nationals, winning all three games by a combined score of 24-6. Along the way, there were angry comments from Nationals players and their manager, Dave Martinez, as the Giants refused to let their foot off the gas even as they retained leads deep into games. This year, the Giants’ philosophy has been “score until they make you stop,” which makes perfect sense for a major league sport—nobody told the Germans to stop scoring when they were up 3-0 on Brazil in the 2014 World Cup semifinals—but somehow this has become controversial.
