Home Alone | Giants 4, Diamondbacks 3
The Giants home season started with a walk-off, and it ended with one too. What happened in between?
A lot of bad defense—compounded by unreliable relief pitching and unsteady run production. Gabe Kapler acknowledged as much when he grabbed a mic after the game and addressed the crowd.
He vowed the team would come back "stronger than ever" next year.
On one hand, what else is he supposed to say? On the other, the Giants top brass (Kapler, Farhan Zaidi, and Larry Baer) have been united in their messaging that change is coming. The only question is, how much?
