SAN FRANCISCO — As the Giants streaked toward the finish line, taking their postseason chances from seemingly impossible to only highly improbable, some considered it a good omen for 2023, while others regretted not playing at this level all season.
Mostly, though, they remained realistic.
Their odds were long, and their fate was out of their hands.
On Saturday, it was sealed.
The Giants lost to the D-backs, 8-4, officially eliminating them from postseason contention.
