I wrote about perspective in this morning’s BP, noting the triple play, walk-off balk and the many other rock-bottom moments of the second half of the 2016 season. It was supposed to be taken as perspective about how much worse things could be. It wasn’t supposed to be taken as a challenge.
However, the Giants didn’t get that part of the memo, as they went hitless through five innings and looked like they were going to get no-hit completely. Thankfully, Nick Hundley ended both the no-hit and shut-out bids by hitting a home run to center field in the sixth inning, his ninth on the season.
