Good morning, baseball fans!
The San Francisco Giants welcome the Colorado Rockies to Oracle Park tonight to begin a four-game series. Because that’s what everyone wanted after a weekend series at Coors Field last week. Four more games!
I am, of course, kidding. Literally no one wants this, probably not even the players on either team. The Giants and Rockies are competing for last place. Not just in the division, but in the National League. (And potentially even in all of baseball, depending on how
the Los Angeles Angels fare.)
Whatever the opposite of “an embarrassment of riches” is, that’s what this series will be. And we get four games of it! Because the baseball gods hate us, in particular, this season.
Best possible scenario, the Giants sweep and move into a more decisive fourth place in the division. But I stopped believing in any best case scenario with this team a long time ago. I’m fully expecting the Rockies to sweep. But these things seldom tend to go the way I expect, even when I expect the worst.
So how are you guys feeling about this series? Do you think the Giants will come out on top? Or do you think they’ll end up back in last place?
What time do the Giants play today?
The Giants begin this four-game series against the Rockies tonight at 6:45 p.m. PT.
