Welp! THAT wasn't good! Logan Webb was savaged for 8 runs(7 earned) in 2.2 IP while the Giants lineup managed just 4 singles in a brutal beatdown. Key Lines: None. There is just nothing more to day about this game. Hope for better times in LA.

Someone posted an unfortunate comment about a play Evan Longoria supposedly didn't field cleanly and said they want a "clean fielding" 3B next year. You do realize, don't you, that Evan Longoria has the 5'th highest defensive fWAR in all of MLB and that has accumulated in more than 20 fewer games than 3 of the top 4? As AOC would say, "try to keep up!"

Oh boy! Price cuts for seats begin. At least for season ticket holders but it will filter down to six packs won't it?
ReplyDeleteEven loyal Giants' fans won't put up with multiple losing seasons (down 8K+ per game since 2015).
Taking out the Dick!-induced July bounty, the Giants are 48-67 (it's even worse if you factor in his injured games at the end of July and 2 of 3 wins at the end of June which was effectively the end of his season), this is not a good team, it is not a fun team to watch (except for July), & it appears to not even show up all too often.
If the improved outfield is a sign along with a nearly across the board improvement in the system with 5 minor league teams making the playoffs, plus the draft for the last 3 years, the future is good, but the inherited $100,000,000+ of replacement level players must be cycled through for the Giants to get back to the 2010-2014 levels.

Am interesting thing to take note of. The team's decline from the hot July started roughly when Genett was acquired and replaced Joe Panik as starting second baseman. Genett was a dumpster fire and was subsequently cut. Panik has, since joining the Mets, hit 278 with 10 RBI while holding doing a solid job. Could this move have had something to do with their downward trajectory since the beginning of August? Just a thought.
