It's funny you really get at a feeling I was having as well. His performance, now that you look at the numbers, is unquestionably historic. It was almost numbing to watch it happen in real time. There's no music from The Natural in the background. No slow motion action shot. And yet as a Giants fan, I mean, did it really seem that insane? It felt like typical Bumgarner when he's on. You knew he was going to go the rest of the game by that 2nd inning. There weren't any real struggles, except for the outfield play at the end. But the context is what made it that amazing.

It was simultaneously predictable and undramatic and awe-inspiring and mind blowing. It makes me wonder what it was like seeing Mathewson or Gibson at their best. Probably something like what we saw yesterday.

And great article, makes me like him even more!
