Giants coverage, especially Baggs, likes to scapegoat one player. Rockies loss was a TEAM loss: if Doval had 3 walks, it would have been emphasized more than Schmitt’s missed DP. Krukow screamed last year in a postgame that it doesn’t matter if a closer gets a bad call or your defense makes errors, you can’t walk batters ever. Ever?! Ramos bobbled a ball. A ball dropped between Birdsong + Fitz. Adames missed a backhand catch, that plated 2 runs. TK said in season opener: “Adames isn’t so great about going to his backhand.” None of that mentioned by Baggs, who sets tone for coverage. Doval wasn’t clean in either outing vs the worst team, but he kept the Giants from being swept. Rodríguez wasn’t even mentioned by Baggs.

Padres lead beat writer, Kevin Acee, doesn’t scapegoat 1 player in team losses. It’s refreshing
