Giants' most disappointing group recently actually hasn't been lineup

SAN FRANCISCO -- Good news, Giants fans. For all of the offensive issues your team has faced this season, they're about to get a look at an even worse lineup.

The Marlins, who host the Giants for three games starting Tuesday, are last in the National League in OPS, 37 points worse than the Giants. They have just 36 homers, 12 fewer than a Giants lineup that gets outslugged on a nightly basis. They are a distant last in runs scored, and somehow haven't hit a triple through 50 games.

So yes, there is a lineup out there that's having bigger issues than the the one that calls Oracle Park home, but as the sinking Giants head to the East Coast for a three-city trip that ideally will get them back on track, the real concern hasn't been the hitters.
