Four One-Run Losses in a Row for the Giants

The Giants have given up nine runs in four games.  A little more than two per game on average.  Most teams would go 4-0 over that stretch.  Maybe 3-1.

Not the Giants – who have only scored about one run per game on average over that stretch, and yesterday could not muster more than one run in a 12-inning game.

If you took Lincecum and Cain out of this Giants roster, you’d have a whole lot of nothing.  Pablo Sandoval could have a decent career.  Molina was awesome, but his career is coming to a close.  Winn was a great competitor, and has always delivered on his potential.  But other than that – one outstanding young pitcher, one potentially outstanding pitcher, two good veteran hitters and one potentially good hitter – this team has absolutely nothing going for it.

Mediocre bullpen.  Awful closer.  Perhaps one of the top 5 wimpiest-hitting lineups in the history of baseball.  And a completely inept judge of talent making personnel decisions.

Bochy should get manager of the year for even sniffing .500 this deep into the season, with this cast.  What exactly does Sabean get paid to do?
