Bochy: The baseball gods are testing us
There’s no other explanation for it. After experiencing the highest of highs in three separate seasons as the Giants’ manager, Bruce Bochy is being tested with the lowest of lows.

If it worked for Klay Thompson, why not Bruce Bochy?

After Jacob deGrom threw eight innings of one-run ball against the San Francisco Giants on Saturday afternoon, it’s easy to see why the Giants miss Madison Bumgarner.

Belt: ‘I don’t think anybody expected it to be this way’
The San Francisco Giants have been shut out in eight different games this season. If not for first baseman Brandon Belt, Sunday could have been the ninth occasion.

The Giants’ 2017 season has been borderline unwatchable. But for a team that’s been as dull as a PBS fundraising telethon, Ty Blach’s starts have come complete with the drama of a daytime soap opera.
