The San Francisco Giants have completed the first half of the season with a 7-win advantage over .500, positioning themselves well for playoffs. They acknowledge that their success is mainly due to strong pitching, while their offense has struggled significantly since May due to underperforming players. Willy Adames, who was expected to provide substantial power and speed, is currently far from his projected 20-home run, 20-stolen base season. The team’s cautious approach under management may further hinder offensive efforts as they proceed into the second half of the season.
The San Francisco Giants sit 7 wins above .500, solidly in the hunt for a playoff berth, with 97 games under their belt and 65 more to play.
As a whole, the Giants should be relatively pleased with where they are going into the post All-Star Break stretch while completely aware that they were carried into this position by the arms of their pitchers.
The bats have been dead weight from May on thanks to a myriad of disappointing individual performances that just haven't been cutting the mustard.
Willy Adames got the contract he got from Buster Posey because of his 20-20 performance in Milwaukee. Those types of power-speed numbers are a significant rung to reach in order to be a star in this league.
