The San Francisco Giants haven’t been good at very many things this season, but on a sunny Saturday afternoon in St. Louis, they looked very good at one thing: tanking.
On the whole, the team has emphatically not embraced the tank. For the most part, they’ve been trying to win these September bookkeeping games, both in the lineups they’ve put out, and the in-game management decisions that have been made. For the record, I have no problem with this.
And while I’m pretty sure the Giants were trying to win on Saturday, they kind of looked like they were trying to lose.
