Murph: In defense of Madison Bumgarner, whose fire we’ll miss when it’s gone
If and when the inevitability of a Bumgarner trade happens in the next month, we will all miss — sorely — Bumgarner vs the Dodgers, and the Dodgers vs Bumgarner. There won’t be anyone left in black and orange who quite lays his emotions bare like Bumgarner.
Murph: The Warriors went out on their shields, what more can you ask for?
Their bodies gave way, but not before they made it two wins shy of the mountaintop. Out on their shield. And that’s OK, sports fans.

When the Giants’ 2019 MLB Draft Class meets for its first chips-and-dip social mixer this summer, forgive Texas Tech pitcher Caleb Kilian if he feels a little left out.

With all due respect to my man Fitz from our daily “Fitz Files”, I do not think it’s going to take a “miracle” for the Warriors to win one of the next two basketball games vs. the Houston Rockets.
Murph: Savor this Warriors-Rockets series for what it is

Murph: Warriors’ bad habits have extended to postseason
