After being swept by the Indians and scoring just one run in two games, the Cubs hope to do better against the Giants.
Bryan Murphy is the new site manager at our SB Nation Giants site McCovey Chronicles. I asked him to give us an update on the Giants.
The Giants just want to tread water until Madison Bumgarner returns because they hope that in getting back their best pitcher the starting rotation will stabilize. Thing is, he won’t be back for at least a couple of weeks and Johnny Cueto’s return is unknown, so, treading water feels like a long shot, given the remaining pitching that isn’t known for quality starts or limiting runs.
