Giants are finished. Now 28-28. Hard to imagine them getting in playoffs with anything less than 2-2 against a Padres team they have beaten one time in 6 tries so far.

Well...the Giants were 1-2 in their home games against the Padres.  One of the losses was by two runs.  The other loss they were tied after 9 innings.  And some of the major offensive players for the Giants at the time were Jaylin Davis, Joe McCarthy, Hunter Pence, Tyler Heineman at C and Pablo Sandoval.  The game they won, three of those players were the only guys to have 0 hits.  The other starters, all now current starters, all had hits.  This was right in the middle of the 8-16 stretch to start the year.

They might actually do okay against the Padres.

Yeah, well, I'd rather have Panda than the Smoak guy they picked up when dumping Pablo . . .

Too bad about that Smoak guy.  Hit 38 HRs and was an All-Star in 2017.  Hit 22 HRs last year.  This year?  Zip.

I like the utility infielder, Daniel Robertson.  Couldn't do much with Tampa Bay, but hitting .350, OPS of .785.  Has made some sterling plays in the field.  Former 1st round pick of the A's.
