5 Questions on Braves and Giants Series

Good read on the series on ESPN.

Here is one.

5. How hot are the Giants?

Since July 4, they are 51-30, the second-best record in the National League. They are hitting home runs at a far greater rate than they were earlier in the year partly because of the additions they made, including Pat Burrell, Jose Guillen and Cody Ross. (One warning here, however: The Giants often make defensive replacements in the corner outfield spots late in games, which could affect their bench should games go to extra innings.) Since July 4, the Giants have also done a far better job shutting down the running game behind catcher Buster Posey. Posey, hitting in the middle of the order, has been stunningly good in every way. This series will feature a matchup not just of the two best rookies in the National League -- Posey and the Braves' Jason Heyward -- but, many years from now, they might be regarded as two of the best rookies ever.

Posey made a big difference, and we could have locked up the title much sooner, if bochy didn't love molina so much. Same could be said of rowand, our offense would have scored more runs, = more victories.

Hopefully the Giants win enough to win it all. Not sure how hot they really are, sometimes their offense doesn't move a bit.
