After the San Francisco Giants lost 8-1 on Monday to the Washington Nationals, I wrote this:
The offense did what it’s done so well dating back to the final quarter of last season: hit just well enough to create opportunities, and just poorly enough to squander those opportunities.
I apologize for repurposing my own words, it’s just that games like Tuesday’s loss don’t exactly leave me eager to use my brain, or even keep my eyes open. Sometimes we need to take shortcuts. If the Giants can find one or three, I’d appreciate it.
