What the hell is going on?

Home Run (hohm ruhn): a type of at bat in baseball wherein the batter successfully touches all three bases and home plate while no out is recorded. A rarity in San Francisco

In other games - Bryce Harper homered, and that is four straight opening days he has done so.

By all means, please continue stepping away.

I believe Stokes missed most of the playoffs in 2012 due to taking a walk.....

Most are night games. Technically, I'll be away from my desk for most of those.

Today's game was the Giants 40th consecutive win when they scored 10 or more runs.

When was the last time the Giants lost a game in which they scored 10 or more?

Reds game in 2010? The NN game?

Notice the virtually identical strokes of Span and Panik, letting go of the bat with the left hand.

Contrast with Posey, keeping both hands on the bat.

Interesting.
