Last year, the Giants were an MLB-best 72-27 against teams with sub-.500 records, but this season, they are just 21-15 against those teams.
What is so surprising about this year's Giants team is that pretty much the exact same roster that won 107 games has given away so many games by simply piling up the mistakes. All 10 runs the Giants allowed Sunday came with two outs, and seven came after Anthony DeSclafani cruised through the first two innings and then got two quick outs in the third. Then the wheels came off.
With two outs in the fifth, the Giants got another ball that should have ended an inning and stranded runners. But Jarlin Garcia was late getting to first and Brandon Belt's throw got away from him anyway. For a moment, as Reds continued to circle the bases, the ball sat in the dirt in front of the visiting dugout. Finally, Curt Casali ran over and scooped it up.
The mistakes against inferior opponents are adding up, and the Giants have not shown enough talent thus far to outrun them. They won 107 games and then decided to mostly run it back, replacing Kevin Gausman with Carlos Rodón, adding Joc Pederson, and spending the rest of their time working around the edges or bringing back members of the 107-win team.
