It was just 1 game out of 162, but late-inning drama for both the A's and Giants made for an intense opening to the 2025 season. I lay out how Jose LcClerc's pitch selection may have doomed him, spoiling a wonderful effort by starter Luis 'Savvy Sevvy" Severino and the two HR day by 1B Tyler Sodorstrom. And I go into the late-game heroics by Wilmer Flores to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
