On the same day as nationwide protests against President Donald Trump and as Los Angeles continues to see massive protests against sweeping immigration raids from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Dodgers attempted to stop a Spanish version of the U.S. national anthem from being sung before facing the Giants.

Posey’s bold, brash, and perhaps even reckless trade for three-time All-Star slugger Rafael Devers on Sunday is a big black-and-orange stamp from the new director of baseball operations on the Giants organization.

Logan Webb tossed seven innings of two-hit ball, Casey Schmitt hit his first career grand slam and the San Francisco Giants defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2.

Starting Friday night, the Giants will start a three-game set with the Dodgers, with first place in the National League West on the line. Yes, we’re not even halfway through the baseball season — have you even put in an All-Star ballot yet? — but did anyone expect the Giants to be in such a position last October? What about in January?
