With a poor offense and middling pitching, the Giants are in the thick of the NL wild-card race with a dozen games left in their season, beginning with huge games the next two nights at the Diamondbacks. How they’ve done it is a credit to roster efficiency.
But if this is the future of baseball, I want no part of it.
The Giants are interesting in the way mutual funds are interesting. They are smart, efficient and lackluster.
