Yes, Giants ace Madison Bumgarner delivered against the Pittsburgh Pirates in the NL Wild Card game, as we expected. But what we didn't expect is that the shoddy Pirates security would allow a senior citizen in Pirates gear to wander around the Giants's dugout (cameo from Hunter Pence):
SB Nation hypothesized, "From the look of it-- and based on this chart showing how close seats are to the visitors dugout-- she must have just wandered in there while trying to find her seat. Maybe someone had taken her assigned spot so she figured she'd just find an empty space nearby and ... look, almost nobody's sitting on that bench! It must have involved some climbing, though, so I'm pretty impressed."
As Barstool Sports put it, "Hey cop, you’re a cop, do something, again, you’re a fucking cop!" And this led to the inevitable Secret Service references:
The Secret Service was like "seeeeeeeeeee, it's hard!"

Who's in charge of the visitors dugout in Pittsburgh, Julia Pierson?

Or was she a just a runner for the shooters at that game?
Pirates say woman in dugout not a fan, had been assigned to help photographers, got stuck in dugout. Like Adam Dunn. #NLWildCard #SFGiants
