0-19! [Had to add this due to moderator's Great Wisdom in dumping separate thread to this 25 page on - it's so tough on readers here, given all the threads everywhere].

That is Giants' BA against the Dodgers in the last 2 games with RISP.  Not surprisingly, 2 Ls.

0-19 is freaking TERRIBLE. Just as hitting is contagious, so is gagging at the plate. And while I get that runs scored is a strong metric for evaluating offenses, does any team score less with (a) runners on 2B with no outs, and/or (b) runner on third with less than 2 outs? I'm sure there are lots of them out there, but the Giants strike me as not good in that regard.


Giants are a different (and less good) team without Belt.  Little concerned about pre-All Star Game swoon. 
Yes, the D-Backs are up next, but the Dodgers just beat the Giants' two best pitchers, and the rotation after them is pretty pedestrian (i.e., beatable by any opponent).  And then the Cardinals.

And then the All Star Break.

Danger, Will Robinson!  Danger!
