I have a little bit of a confession to make. I was a tiny bit scared of the San Francisco Giants four-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
It had nothing to with a lack of faith in the Giants.
It had nothing to do with San Francisco mustering a paltry three runs in their previous four games.
It had everything to do with the Diamondbacks being unsustainably bad.
It’s not that I thought the Diamondbacks would break out of their awful slump, which saw them enter Oracle Park on a 10-game losing streak, with 27 losses in their last 30 games, and 19 consecutive defeats on the road.
