The San Francisco Giants take Game 1 behind a dominant outing from Landen Roupp, who allowed just one hit through five innings, and a bullpen that is suddenly becoming one of the team’s biggest strengths. Tony Vitello pushed all the right buttons, and Ryan Walker shut the door to finish it off.

We break down the “bully bullpen” mindset, the shift in confidence, and why this group may be turning a corner at the perfect time. Plus, injury updates on Jung Hoo Lee and Daniel Susac, and the latest surrounding the physical style of play that’s starting to take a toll.
