The Giants, as you may have noticed if you haven’t been put to sleep by the lack of offense in every Giants game, are suffering from a lack of offense. In August, they’re scoring 3.42 runs per game, and in their 19 games so far this month, they’ve scored more than 3 runs just 6 times.
But this hasn’t been a problem the whole year. It’s really just in the second half that the offense has imploded. In the first half, the Giants were 16th in the majors and 6th in the NL with a team wRC+ of 94; if you remove pitchers from the equation to get a more equal look at them compared to AL teams, they were an eminently respectable 11th in the majors.
