The Giants make too many outs on the basepaths

It makes sense to think that the Giants are one of the worst baserunning teams in baseball. We can think of maybe a half dozen examples of Buster Posey being thrown out at home or someone being picked off at first base and think, Yeah, they’re pretty bad. Well, did you know that last year, the Giants made the fewest outs on base (32 OOB — lol, literally OOB) in all of Baseball?

Shocking, I know. They were 15th in 2017, when they were even worse as a team, and back in 2016, they were 10th-worst (or 21st best).
