BOS 5 SF 4
Madison Bumgarner gave up hits to the first four batters he faced and turned a 1-0 Giants lead into a 2-1 deficit. It didn't get better. A fluky sequence of bloopers and bleeders in the 2nd made it 5-1 Sox and they held on to win. The Giants had a late comeback to cut the deficit to 5-3, then loaded the bases in the 9th with no outs but could only scratch out one run. Boston starter Eduardo Rodriguez struck out ten in his six innings and only allowed two hits. Bum whiffed seven in his five and was tagged for nine hits. The Red Sox bullpen was shaky (3 IP, 3 R), the Giants bullpen solid (3 IP, 0 R), but the deficit was too much to overcome. Obviously it was a good series--they took two of three from a good team in a tough park. An even better team is next as the Giants go to Atlanta to take on the 94-win Braves. Tyler Beede gets the ball at 4:20 (seriously) Pacific.
GO TEAM!! WIN!!

Padres will also have a new manager next season as Andy Green was fired.
Speaking of new managers, Buster Posey is under contract for 2020 and 2021. I think Buster should take over as manager in 2022. The Giants should hire an interim manager for the next two seasons in anticipation of Buster taking over. Buster will be 35 and could easily manage for twenty years. Then he can go back to Georgia or Florida or wherever and run for the Senate. Don't you think he's the perfect fit? He's articulate, calm, accomplished, and had a great mentor in Boch.
