The San Francisco Giants the defending World Champs dba the infamous #OrangeOctober is facing their toughest stretch in the 162 as we go to press. At 65-55 and 2nd in the NL West just a Rawlings Hardball relay throw to home away from the L.A. Dodgers leading the NL West they have a chance. The reasons they have Skipper Bruce Bochy, the "Madbum" leading the staff, a Buster not hitting any ones exit in five seconds!
Now the Gigantes get the Buccos dba Pittsburgh Pirates under the moniker "Raise the Jolly Roger" at PNC park for a Four-Piece. The Giants know if they stay close to the Dodgers they will ultimately stay close to the Cubbies and maybe Pirates in the NL Wild Card as they are both the leaders. Let's take a look at the stretch that looks like the San Andreas Fault and no pun attended but that bad of a schedule!
360 Degrees...
The Gigantes went 9-9 from 7/31 - 8/19 and that included a sweep of the Nats and getting swept by the Cubs dba "North Siders"...
They went 1-6 vs the NL Central Teams in that stretch (Cubs/Cards) and now they are beginning a 10-game stretch with the NL Central with four at PNC Park and six near McCovey Cove...
At 65-55 they are just three full games back of the NL West Leading Dodgers...
Gigantes are also three games back of the Cubbies in the NL Wild Card #2 slot and seven games back of the #1 Wild Card Slot talking the Pirates...
the "Madbum" has been lights out in his starts winning them all and now they need an arm or two to join him to get to that Gigantes Pen...
