Look, if you only want to look at the positives of the road trip, then you’ll focus like hell on the fact that the Giants went 3-3 in Arizona and Colorado. You’ll focus on how the team’s struggles against left-handed pitching will diminish once Evan Longoria returns.
I’m not sure if those are the only details to focus on. There’s a heavy context there, but no matter how narrow or broad your view of the season is, I think we can all agree that this weekend’s 4-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals is an absolute Must Win if the Giants have any chance of keeping their slim playoff hopes alive.
