SAN FRANCISCO — Entering play on June 19, the Giants owned the sixth-best record in baseball. They were 10 games over .500 and, even if in third place in their own division, appeared to be well on their way to the franchise’s first consecutive postseason berths since the earliest years of this millennium.
Since then, only the Nationals and the Pirates have had lower winning percentages than the Giants. It would take a miracle for there to be postseason baseball on the shores of McCovey Cove this fall.
“Maybe we got a little too complacent,” staff ace Logan Webb said after his start Tuesday night, a loss to the Padres that dropped them a season-worst 9.5 games out of playoff contention.
