There’s a lot that you can say about the San Francisco Giants 8-5, extra-innings loss to the Miami Marlins on Wednesday night, and most of it is bad. You can say a few good things, like that they showed resilience or had a nice comeback, but most of the things you can say are bad.
It’s a particularly frustrating kind of bad, in that it’s close to being good. The Giants, still in the upper third of MLB teams this year, have not committed to the bit of being bad like, say, their divisional co-habitants in Denver.
