An unreported number of Giants fans on McCovey Chronicles poll concludes 72% think the Giants are making the playoffs.
It's hard for me to see this Giants team making it. They flat out don't score enough for their pitching ability. The team is so maddeningly mediocre at everything. They do nothing great and have nobody who scares you on the mound, at the plate or in the field, except maybe Camilo Doval.
And I don't see anybody available in trade who would change this or make the them better than the other WC contenders.
The Reds, Cubs, Phillies, and D-Backs all have a better roster IMO, and so too the Marlins, who just added dominant reliever David Robertson from the Mets and seem eager to add another starter.
The Giants schedule is just brutal from now until September:
Red Sox (July), D-Backs, @A's, @Angels, Rangers, Rays, @Braves, @Phillies, Braves, Reds
All these teams but the A's are seriously contending for post season. Giants play 27 games in August. Anyone think they will go better than 11-16?
