Giants becoming historically bad, lose to Rockies

The Giants are playing like it’s 1985.

That’s not a compliment.

All bad Giants teams are measured against the 1985 team, the only one in franchise history to lose 100 games.

The 2017 Giants are on pace to lose 101 games.

Friday night’s score from Coors Field: Rockies 10, Giants 8.

Make that four straight losses, 13 losses in 17 games and a season-high 17 games below .500. They’re 17 ½ games out of first place. The last time they were so far back before an All-Star break? Yes, 1985.

Manager Bruce Bochy, who has little patience left, was ejected in the seventh inning during a heated argument with plate umpire Gary Cederstrom, whose strike zone during a DJ LeMahieu plate appearance ticked off Jeff Samardzija.
