The Giants just did the impossible. On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about the San Francisco Giants winning their 107th game, and with it the 2021 NL West crown. It's a truly unbelievable accomplishment for this resilient and relentless Giants team. They were expected to win in the neighborhood of 75 games, yet they were the best team in baseball pretty much all season long. The Dodgers tied a franchise record with 106 wins, but it wasn't enough. The Giants set their own franchise record with 107 victories, and they needed each and every one. No matter how the season ends, this is an accomplishment that will live on in franchise history.
It wasn't easy at the end. The Dodgers had an all-time great second half, and they refused to lose down the stretch. The Giants played meaningful games right down to the end, including Game 162. Logan Webb started for the Giants, and he was fantastic from the very first pitch. He strcuk out the side in the 1st inning, and retired the first nine batters he faced. He got a rally started in the third inning with a single, and later walked and homered. Buster Posey delivered a huge two-run single with two outs that opened the scoring. Tommy La Stella, Wilmer Flores, and many others also contributed to the win.
The Giants will get to sit back and relax as the Dodgers play a do-or-die elimination game on Wednesday against the Cardinals. The Giants will play the winning of that game in the Division Series, which starts on Friday at Oracle Park. The 107-win Giants have secured home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Ben discusses how the Giants match up against the four other playoff teams in the National League.
