No one wants to know it all

Giants 3, A's 1

I long for the days when I knew less. When I couldn’t watch Buster Posey labor through a statement on Pride Night, then swat away follow-up questions. When I couldn’t see the incredulous look on Rafael Devers’ face as reporters asked about his on-field tantrum, leading him to blame the media for blowing up the story.

I long for the days when all I could do was watch the games. Because the Giants beating the A’s Tuesday night was about the eighth most relevant story about the local baseball team.

Duane Kuiper went on KNBR last week and said all the negativity around the franchise is wearing him out.

I think the negativity is warranted—and it’s wearing me out too.

Up next: Tyler Mahle (1-7, 6.04 ERA) returns from the injured list to face Gage Jump (3-1, 2.37 ERA). First pitch at 6:45 pm.
