Plate umpire Doug Eddings checked with first base ump Gabe Morales, who ruled Flores swung \u2014 check-swings are judgment calls and not reviewable under Major League Baseball replay rules.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, the im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>te emotion is frustration, right?\u201d Kapler said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s heightened on the last play of the game \u2026 in this case a check-swing,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s going to be the thing that is talked about quite a bit and I understand why \u2026 I just don\u2019t know how much sense it makes to, for us, on our side, to pick that apart. I don\u2019t know how much, how helpful it\u2019s going to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The crowd of 42,275 had its own view.<\/p>\n<p>Fan who spent the evening standing and waving orange towels erupted in anger after Morales\u2019 call. Some threw cans of beer onto the field as the Dodgers emerged from their dugout, and several pieces of trash were tossed onto the outfield grass.<\/p>\n<p>It was an abrupt end to a year that few people saw coming out of spring training, especially from a team that hadn\u2019t finished over .500 since 2016.<\/p>\n<p>With the World Series champion Dodgers and Padres heavily favored, the upstart Giants not only saw their championship-experienced veterans shine but repeatedly rode their bevy of fresh new faces \u2013 including young ace Logan Webb \u2013 to the best record in baseball.<\/p>\n<p>They did it behind resurgent seasons from catcher Buster Posey and All-Star shortstop Brandon Crawford. Kris Bryant, acquired at the trade deadline, provided pop for a lineup that led the National League with 241 home runs.<\/p>\n<p>That power was mostly missing in the deciding game against the Dodgers. Darin Ruf\u2019s solo shot off Julio Ur\u00edas was the lone run the Giants scored.<\/p>\n<p>It was the 24th game this season between the teams rivals and they split them \u2014 12 wins each.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo rivalry is great, obviously, and clearly in good shape and already, I\u2019m not saying we\u2019re turning the page to next year,\u201d Kapler said. \u201cI think that\u2019s not true, but what I\u2019ll say is we\u2019re excited about building on this foundation.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
