By the time you finish this sentence, six San Francisco Giants will have struck out swinging at a tantalizing curveball by the hand of Zack Godley. I’d call this one a dud, but the Giants were simply dominated. (Brandon Belt swings at the end of this sentence.)
It’s difficult to be objective when (Andrew McCutchen swings through the middle of this sentence) the Giants just keep swinging at a curveball that hardly ever touches the strike zone; and, I get that it’s even more frustrating for the hitters (Hunter Pence dives at this sentence with his swing and misses) because they’re coming up empty and the frustration compounds as the night wears on.
