The Giants have the worst defense and are one of the slowest teams in MLB. This makes solid pitching less effective and makes scoring runs more difficult. It's not a recipe for winning a championship.

The Giants actually have the second worst defense in MLB (if you believe in Team DRS), but interestingly the worst defensive team in MLB is Philadelphia, which is the team that SF may be fighting for a WC spot down the stretch.

Over the weekend I heard a broadcast say the Giants just became the worst defense in MLB. I don't know the exact metric or source, but this doesn't change the fact their defense is old, slow, and not good.

Wilmer Flores is a DH. Tommy La Stella is a DH. Yet despite the fact they are ideal DH platoon switches for each other, one of them plays in the field when neither can run well because their bats are needed.
