After yesterday’s loss to the Colorado Rockies, things were looking bleak for the San Francisco Giants.
A tough week and a half with three consecutive series losses against the Blue Jays, Mets and Mariners and another lackluster performance against a lackluster team in the series opener had done some damage to progress made in the division and wild card races.
The roster injuries, the rotation struggles, typically resolute bullpen arms like Camilo Doval and the Rogers twins showing some cracks from the recent workload of stressful innings while the offense growing negligent and practically non-existent in early innings—all factors that contributed to bad vibes as we approached the All-Star Break.
