Congratulations, San Francisco. Three championships in five years is pretty incredible.
Madison Bumgarner. That was amazing.

Not entirely convinced Clayton Kershaw didn’t straight up Sam Wheat into Madison Bumgarner’s body on October 1st.
Bumgarner is the anti-Kershaw.
Geech, you may have something there. Somebody call Tim Powers.
What I find amazing is that the Giants have done it with three different “Aces”
2010 – Lincecum
2012 – Cain
2014 – Bumgarner
All from their farm system. Which is how Sabean has quietly accomplished a blueprint that’s every bit as awesome as our “favorite” GMs.
this. and not just those 3. entire infield (posey, belt, panik, crawford, sandoval) was developed on the giants farm. pretty good.
