They were shut out for the third time in the last 7 games. In 2 other games they scored one and two runs respectively. Apparently Bruce Bochy's genius only extends for one day as Edgar Renteria went 0 -4 while the Giants defense looked old and decrepit. I guess they were too tired from running around the bases last night.
Juan Uribe has been terrible at third lately and good old sleepyhead hasn't promised that Pablo Sandoval will play at all this weekend against the Brewers. Now I understand the kid is struggling, but I am mystified at the sudden decision to stop supporting and playing him. Especially at home where he has practically been a mirror image of the guy he was last season.
After the Giants made another bad pitcher look like Cy Young, Wolf's last shutout came back in 2008, Bochy said that he and the staff would get together and discuss lineup possibilities. I just don't see a lineup combination that can make this team magically find their hitting shoes. They have scored a grand total of 47 runs in 15 games in September. They have scored more than 3 runs 5 times out of those 15. The numbers were even worse before they put up a 10 spot on the Dodgers but they are scoring just slightly over 3 runs a game.
At this point in the season there is no quick fix. Anybody can should be able to get a chance. Whether it be Darren Ford, Ryan Rohlinger, Euginio Velez, Nate Schierholtz, or Travis Ishikawa. I mean seriously, how many less runs could they put up?
The Giants can take heart in the fact that they knocked Joe Torre out of LA the night before. After seeing the Giants hang 10 on his Dodgers, Torre decided to hang em up. Don Mattingly took over as manager and Giants fans can take some comfort in knowing they must have had some small part in his decision to call it quits. After all, he had just watched his team give up 10 runs to a team that got shut out by Randy Wolf the next night.
