4/7 Gamethread: Giants vs. Padres

The San Francisco Giants have come out of the gate a little bit slowly, yet with a win today they would end up .500 after their opening road trip. That’s pretty decent!

Also, it’s the first day game of the season, so rejoice or be angry, depending on your opinions and work schedule.
