WASHINGTON D.C. -- There will be a fair amount of talk over the coming months about the possibility of fences moving in at Oracle Park, but simply sticking a couple of bullpens in Triples Alley won't solve the lineup's biggest problem.
The power drain has traveled in recent seasons.
The Giants finished 13th in the National League with 80 road homers in 2017 and dead last in 2018 with just 73. Players will tell you this is in part because their swings get tailored to Oracle Park, where anything that gets up too high in the air in right field will get knocked down.
