(USA Immediately)
Brian Wilson and his monstrous beard emerged from the bullpen Thursday evening carrying that Dodger blue that still appears so unusual on him. He was coming into a tie sport, 2-2 within the tenth inning. A tense scenario, little doubt, however nothing the man who turned “Concern the Beard” into a lifestyle hadn’t fearlessly confronted before.
The scenario wasn’t new. But the opposition was.
From the mound, he stared on the San Francisco Giants, the workforce that drafted him in 2003, introduced him up through its minor leagues, turned him into its nearer and let him develop into this furry character we see immediately. This was Wilson’s first time pitching against the Giants and it gave San Francisco fans a type of “torture” they’d by no means experienced.
Wilson shut down the Giants within the 10th inning, making fast work of them, aside from a walk to Brandon Belt. He even got his former catcher Buster Posey to line out. When the Dodgers scored the winning run within the bottom of the tenth, it was Wilson who was awarded the win. The upside-downness of this was so confounding that the net field rating still had Wilson in Giants gear beating the Giants.
He wasn’t bubbly about it. Or sad. Or anything, actually. He did not say much after the sport. “I didn’t do anything,” he told Giants scribe Andrew Baggarly of CSN Bay Area and the flock of reporters ready to listen to if Wilson would unload a goofy quote. He didn’t. Just walked on by. He wasn’t speaking earlier than the game both — blowing off Bay Area reporters, as Baggarly wrote it.

After the game, the Giants had been good enough when speaking about their former fan favourite. Based on
CSN Bay Space
, Posey mentioned “it was fun” facing Wilson. Supervisor Bruce Bochy recommended Wilson for doing to the Giants what he’d watched Wilson do to so many different groups whereas sporting orange and black.
“Well, he acquired us out,” Bochy mentioned. “He did his job. He did a very good job for us and I admire what Brian did for us. He’s with one other membership, and we had been attempting to score off him there.”
The two groups have three extra video games operating by way of Sunday, so there’s a good probability Wilson and the Giants may meet again on the sphere. And he’ll have plenty of alternatives to speak nice concerning the staff that gave him a World Sequence ring, or downplay the whole thing if he so chooses. The reporters — and the eyes of Giants fans — might be stuck on him like a beard on a chin.
