look at these numbers...

pre all star break they were 57-33.
since then reg season they are 36-53.
tomorrow will make 90 games for both. Either 20 or 21 games worse since the break.

yup, this is why you have to go for it when you have the chance. Never know when the window is gonna slam shut. I respect a team like the Cubs that saw their window was open and went hard after Chapman.

In the end the Giants had a great run (some of it built on smoke and mirrors) and now it's time to start the rebuild. Problem is, I do not trust management when ti comes to making the hard choices. They'll stick with declining players until the very end of their contracts, rather than trade them when they still have value.
