The lone run of today’s game came from a sacrifice fly. There was 1 walk against 12 strikeouts. It turns out the Giants can’t hit. They’re exceptionally bad at it. And even if the season is young and it’s far too early to panic or catastrophize, what we certainly can do is consider the 15 games we’ve seen and try to figure out the right combination of words to describe just how bad the hitters are.
I tumble into a sadness abyss when I think about the difference in the sound off the Giants’ bats versus the Padres’.
