Here’s Bruce Bochy after Cincinnati’s Phillip Ervin hit a walk-off home run to give the Reds a 2-1 win over the Giants last night (warning: Curt Young spews a stream of water):
What’s a manager to do when his team refuses to score runs? The Giants have played 20 games this season in bandboxes (Chase Field, Coors Field, Wrigley Field, and the Great American Ball Park) and scored 70 total runs (3.5 per game).
We’re at the point where the fate of the season rests in the hands of the players. The very best players in the Giants lineup have disappeared.
