Giants-Dodgers: Dave Roberts, Max Muncy melt down after SF completes massive comeback versus LA

The Giants looked dead in the water on Thursday and entered the ninth inning down 3-1. Then they strung together four runs and won 5-3.

In the midst of Jansen's latest meltdown — bases loaded, two outs, and the Dodgers clinging to a 3-2 lead — San Francisco's Darin Ruf got away with a check swing that probably should've been called a strike. That tied things up at 3-3, and compelled Roberts to storm the field and get ejected.

It is standard operating procedure for the manager of a club that got screwed over to toss his cap and jab his finger in the direction of the first umpire he sees; more notable (and delicious for Giants fans) was Muncy's reaction from the dugout after San Francisco had attained a 5-3 advantage.
