If a comeback story for the 2026 San Francisco Giants had to be scripted — imagine Disney’s A-team had already been working on it over the past several months — what would it look like?The story would need a turning point somewhere in the middle of the season. Something like the Giants coming back from a 9-1 deficit in the bottom of the eighth inning, right as everyone was about to give up on them for good. They’d win on a walk-off, their first of the year. It couldn’t just be any walk-off, either. It would have to be a grand slam, yet another in a goofy season that’s filled with them for some reason. Oh, and Hollywood isn’t going to settle for any old grand slam. The Giants would have to be down by three runs. And who would hit it?The rookie. Let the rookie give everyone hope.For a little more than 24 hours, then, you get a pass to this Disney-fied version of the 2026 season. All of the above actually happened. For a single game, the Giants were as dramatic and enjoyable as the sport of baseball allows, and that’s not hyperbole. Worry about the rest of the script tomorrow.The Giants were down 9-1 entering the eighth inning and about to be swept. They were being run out of their own town by a team built by a young front office that learned to love baseball during the Buster Posey golden era, which makes the Giants front office — the new Posey era — already feel dated, even though it just got here. Then Bryce Eldridge hit a grand slam, and the Giants won 11-10 in one of the most improbable games in franchise history.When the universe gives you a scripted game like this, rewind it a few times. Appreciate the directorial choices that went into it. Don’t just move on. Here are some statistical errata and factlets to peruse.The Giants were officially at a 99.9 percent loss expectancy
