Well, this season hasn’t gone quite to plan, has it? The San Francisco Giants had to Atlanta’s new SunTrust Park for the first time toting the second-worst record in baseball at 26-45, better than only the Philadelphia Phillies. Their most recent series had heartbreak written all over, with a pair of heroic comebacks being wiped away by the Colorado Rockies.
So, where do they go from here? October is out of the question, save for that mandatory season finale on the first day of the 10th month. It’s time to embrace the rebuild. Management has to face that this season isn’t going anywhere, standings-wise, and start looking to the future.
