Atlanta series probably sealed their fate. 5 back in loss column and Braves own the tiebreaker. Braves will need to collapse. Giant probably need to do something like 26-12 to have a shot. Good luck with that.

I agree, Bob. Snell is a “must sign” this off season. Yesterday, he established a new Giants franchise record with a total of 55 K’s over a period of five consecutive starts. Considering some of names he surpassed (Mathewson, Hubbell, Marichal, Lincecum, Bumgarner), that is pretty impressive.
I must admit that I was dead wrong before the season when I advocated passing on him.
Signing Snell and Chapman would be a great way to start the off-season.
Hey Mick - Matt Cain's career record was 104-118. W-L records mean little in this era.

Since then, the Giants are 16-9 against the Rockies, A's, Reds, Tigers, Nationals, Braves and White Sox.
Now, the Giants have the toughest schedule remaining in MLB. Their remaining opponents are Seattle, Milwaukee, Miami, D'Backs, Padres, Orioles, Royals and Cardinals. The Giants have a .415 record against >.500 MLB teams which projects to a 14-19 record in the last 33 games, pointing to a 79-83 final record.

The Reds traded Slater to the Orioles and he hit a two run homer yesterday in a game against the Mets to help the Giants. However, the Orioles lost.

Outfield play was comical today. McCray won't make anyone forget Garry Maddox...or Angel Pagan in CF. 28,375 at the old ballyard.
The Giants have 11 series left, 10 of which come against teams with a winning record. Don't think we'll see 26-12...maybe 12-26.

Didn’t see the game. McCray is supposed to be an elite defensive CF. That’s his ticket. Certainly not his bat.

My take is that he has a knack for turning routine fly balls into spectacular catches. Doesn't take great routes, gets turned around, late jumps, etc.
Based on a small sample, his fielding percentage is .947, he has a -8 Rtot, and his range factor is slightly below average for center fielders. I had a ton more confidence in Lee and Matos than I do in McCray.
