Much has been made of the Giants poor offensive production this year, and for good reason. We're lucky if we can muster 3 runs in a game and we just got swept in Denver. Granted, it was only a 2 game series, but The Rockies are the Giants' only threat in the division, and winning those games would've put the team in the driver's seat in the division. We went into Denver with a 1.5 game lead, and the Rockies came from behind to win both games. It's frustrating, but that's baseball, and the roadtrip doesn't get any easier because now the team must play two in LA. Kershaw tonite and Billingsley tomorrow, I can already hear the collective growns and city wide exacerbation.
Everyone! Please, please, please don't freak out. If the team were going through these struggles without being reigning world series champions we would all understand that we are what we are. But this added pressure can be unbearable, and the fact that we are only a .5 game out of the division lead given our season so far is reason to rejoice. Think about it, we absolutely cannot be this bad all year. The team average is probably .234, and that will change. We have too many good hitters, and our best hitter on on the shelf for the next 5 weeks. First place can wait until the last game of the season, there's no need to freak out now. As long as we can hang around and stay within reach of the Rockies we'll be ok. I promise.
Stay current,
Pat
