Madison Bumgarner

Larry Krueger highlights the Giants’ strengths on offense and defense, including the keys to getting Mets All-Star pitcher Noah Syndergaard out of the game early.

With the win on Sunday, Madison Bumgarner is locked into a NL Wild Card clash with Noah Syndergaard on Wednesday, Oct. 5. He took time after the game to reflect on a wild 2016 regular season.

After 67 incredible years of calling Major League Baseball games for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Vin Scully is retiring. The San Francisco Giants made sure to send him out in as much style as possible and KNBR 680 got in on the action, airing the Dodgers’ broadcast during the 3rd inning of the Giants-Dodgers final matchup of the season.

With the Mets clinching home field advantage for the NL Wild Card game Wednesday night, the Giants and Cardinals still have one more game to get in themselves. A win Sunday not only puts the Giants in New York Wednesday night, it allows manager Bruce Bochy to mix and match his starting pitching as he wishes.

Posey, Bumgarner and Bochy all talked about what was going through their minds when protesters took the field Friday night and attempted to hand flowers to Giants players.

Madison Bumgarner became the third youngest pitcher in Giants history to win 100 games at the ripe age of 27 years, 60 days old. Only Christy Mathewson (24 years, 262 days) in 1905, and Hal Schumacher (24 years, 234 days) in 1938 were younger.

If you thought the Giants had a big sixth inning on Thursday, Friday night probably knocked you out of your chair.

“We’re playing the game to win, that’s all I’ll tell you,” Bochy told reporters in the dugout. “That’s where our focus is.”

To guarantee life after Sunday, the Giants must win series against LA

The Giants blew a 6-0 lead and their 31st save on Saturday night, yet put together a three run rally in the 10th inning to beat the Padres 9-6 in a wild one at Petco Park.
