Jeez, the tone of the discussion around the check-swing call led me to believe that this happened on a 3-2 count with the bases loaded and Scherzer on the ropes or something much more dramatic. I get that it’s not ideal for a game (season!) to end on a judgment call, but that is not the reason the Giants lost, from what I can tell.
DISCLOSURE: I was rooting for the Dodgers.
