I'm not ashamed to say I quit following this game. I gave up. And I'm not ashamed. This 2026 Giants team has been unwatchable. Literally.
Today they turned everything upside down. Bryce Eldridge hit a walk-off grand slam in the bottom of the 9th to beat the Nationals. The Giants scored five runs in the 8th and five again in the 9th to pull off the miracle comeback. Certainly, in a Baseball Karmic sort of way, the Giants deserved one of these. They've suffered on the other end too many time already this season.
Jung Hoo Lee has been on fire and he got two more hits today. His .338 is second in all of baseball. But it's Bryce that we are hanging our hats on. He's the phenom. He's the 1st-rounder. He's the One We've Been Waiting For. (At least we hope.)
Anyway Bryce is slashing .298/.385/.521 in just over 100 PA.
GO GIANTS!

From the game story:
Eldridge's first career grand slam was just the second walk-off slam in Giants history when coming to the plate facing a three-run deficit, joining Bobby Thomson on June 16, 1952, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Eldridge, at 21 years and 233 days old, is the youngest player in MLB history to hit a walk-off grand slam, surpassing Roberto Clemente (21 years, 342 days), who hit an inside-the-park walk-off slam on July 25, 1956.
Jerar Encarnacion is now playing in Japan with Yokohama.
Maybe Tyler Fitzgerald, will soon. Be playing in Japan, Korea or Mexico.
