Full disclosure: I didn’t watch the first eight and a half innings of the san Francisco Giants 8-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday.
Why should I? Sure, it’s my job, but what do the first eight and a half innings have to do with actually covering the team?
From Friday through Monday, the Giants led going into the ninth inning three times, and they lost all three times. What happens in innings one through eight is all academic.
So I didn’t watch.
But if I had watched, here’s what I might have noticed:
- Mike Yastrzemski led off the game with a home run, which it feels like he does at least once a week.
