It’s been extremely frustrating watching the Giants try to hit a baseball, mainly because they’ve been unable to make any sort of contact, and the contact they have made is, with few exceptions, not that hard. We know they’ll never be a lineup of home run hitters or even a lineup of on base percentagers, but we never would’ve imagined that they’d also, suddenly, and almost inexplicably become a terrible swing and miss team.
The Giants are striking out a lot. To contextualize “a lot”:
