Rain, not enough
Madison Bumgarner started tonight against the former A Gio Gonzalez. Madison pitched OK, but not superbly, allowing 5 hits and 1 run through 4 while striking out 4 and walking 1. Gio was a bit better, not allowing a run on 4 hits. After four innings, the rains came and with them, the sense of impending doom that the Giants' relief brings. And sure enough, after the Giants tied the game at 1 all in the top of the 5th thanks to a Nats' error, Guillermo Moscoso gave up a 2 run shot to Adam LaRoche and that was enough. Both teams scored again, final score 4-2. Joaquin Arias had 4 hits. Giants were 1 for 9 with RISP.

I keep saying to myself that the bleeding will stop, it can't get worse. And then the team actually plays ball and, well, it keeps getting worse.
Even Posey has gone cold, hitting just .166 in his last 20 games. Blah.
Giants would have a few more runs, and maybe some wins if Posey and Belt were hitting.
This has been one of the worst seasons I can remember. Yes they had seasons with worse records, but the expectations were high. They have found very creative and new ways to lose. Bumgarner contributed to his own demise by trotting to second on a wild pitch, and getting thrown out. He should have been easily safe, and if things unfolded the way they did a run would have scored, and with less outs who knows. Many teams hit better with runners in scoring position. The giants freeze when they get runners in scoring position. The team is so out of wack, that the three stooges wont accept to script, because the bonehead plays are too obvious.
