Things are coming apart for the San Francisco Giants. Their offense continues its unsustainable inconsistencies. Shouldered with picking up the bat’s slack, the defense has failed to rise to certain occasions, and the pitching has responded with retreat. Due to injury, the starting rotation has been whittled down to two men, both handed resounding ‘L’s’ in this most recent series against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Perhaps the most frustrating, debilitating, hands-to-knees-and-hang-your-head woe of them all is the handling—or lack of handling—the running game.
That low moment came for Logan Webb on Sunday afternoon when Cardinals’ catcher Pedro Pagés stole second base in the 2nd inning.
