So bad it's good

Brewers 16, Giants 2

What happened to the Giants?

I can’t say I asked myself this over the last two weeks, blissfully wandering through four national parks. (Giants Postcards has a very generous PTO policy.)

Upon my return to air conditioning, high-speed internet, and a home with four solid walls, the Giants reminded me of everything I had missed. Matt Chapman hit his first home run since March and then the Brewers scored 16 unanswered runs.

Buddy Kennedy threw the final pitches for the Giants. I hadn’t heard of him until his promotion on Monday. He’s a third baseman.

What happened to the Giants?

Up next: Hilariously, tragically, cruelly, the Giants will face Kyle Harrison (6-1, 1.57 ERA) on Tuesday afternoon. Look at those numbers, goodness. Opposing Harrison will be Trevor McDonald, who the Giants would very much like to be New Kyle Harrison. First pitch at 4:40 pm.

Podcast: Kerry and I debate the real answer to the question at the center of this postcard. What happened to the Giants? Well, the autopsy is just beginning.
