The story
On October 11, at Tokyo Dome, a live-commentary thread followed the Giants vs. DeNA Climax Series game. The starters were Takemaru for the Giants and Ishida Yuma for DeNA, and as the game unfolded with the Giants trailing, Dalbec hit a solo home run to pull one run back. The thread briefly lit up with excitement, but frustration soon took over as fans vented about the lineup’s inability to get leadoff hitters on base and about the batting order, with some recalling past struggles against the Tigers and DeNA. Fans watched on through a game that stayed frustrating to the end.

For the Giants it's not really a best-of-3 CS, it's more like a best-of-2.
is really doing well these days.
They're only weak when they come up against the Bay Stars.
DeNA's roster would have to get bad enough to fall into B-class before that changes.
He's due for one soon.
Well, you got me there.
No wonder they've got double-digit games banked above .500.

kind of sad when you think about it, lol
Seriously, zero home runs? Come on.
so today might end up following that same pattern too.
and now the season's ending on two games with content this garbage… unbelievable.
The Tigers (lol) just went and dropped 7 straight all on their own.
Yeah, our team's always been absurdly weak against the Bay Stars.
Back in the day it was the Tigers (lol) and the "Miso" (a mocking nickname for the Chunichi Dragons).
Background and Key Points
The Climax Series (CS) format grants win advantages based on regular-season standings, and the thread included some grumbling about the format itself. The Giants battled the Tigers for the pennant all season, only to keep dropping games to DeNA down the stretch, and the thread was full of fans looking back on that history. Criticism of the batting order came up repeatedly, but language amounting to personal attacks on specific players or staff, along with sexual jokes, has been left out of this article. The sighting of a famous comedian caught on camera during the CS broadcast was another topic that got the thread buzzing.
