Back to 2012 | Giants 2, Pirates 0

On a night the Giants honored the 2012 title team—and beat the Pirates—a jog down memory lane:

When I think of that playoff run, I think of…

• Buster Posey's Game 5 grand slam represented by a blue "In Play, Runs" dot.

• Marco Scutaro not making an out in the NLCS. (He went 14-for-28. The man batted .500 in a seven-game series.)

• Giants starters allowing one run in 20.1 innings across NLCS Games 5-7.

• The disbelief on Justin Verlander's face when his pitching coach came out for a visit.

• Barry Zito singling off Verlander.

• Tim Lincecum, dominant reliever.

*Editor’s note: In Saturday’s newsletter, we incorrectly referred to Gabe Kapler and Farhan Zaidi as Gabe Kepler and Farman Zaidi. Giants Postcards regrets this error.
