San Francisco Giants: The “Crawnik” platoon is senseless
The San Francisco Giants have a terrible time scoring runs, a main reason as to why they’re so bad. They make it even worse without Panik and Crawford.
The San Francisco Giants are doing this cute little platoon thing with Joe Panik and Brandon Crawford against lefties, and it’s mind-numbingly stupid.
The Giants have scored a whopping 179 runs in 53 games (not including anything that happened last night), which comes out to a paltry 3.25 runs/game. That’s good for worst in baseball. So now, the Giants think taking the guys with the third and sixth best OPS on the team, will help them in games against lefties.
