The San Francisco Giants currently have a positive record, remaining six games above .500 with a good run differential. Despite this success, recent losses feel typical and frustrating to fans. In a recent game against the Toronto Blue Jays, the Giants struggled with clutch hitting, going 0-9 with runners in scoring position. Although there were positive performances, the overall feeling was one of missed opportunities. The team maintains a respectable status, but losses evoke an inevitable, clichéd response among supporters.
The Giants filled up the bases but hit 0-9 with runners in scoring position, failing time and time again to capitalize on a good opportunity.
The losses may feel clichéd and formulaic, but they still exist with lesser abundance than the wins. A loss that fits the script is like a made Steph Curry three: it feels inevitable and constant.
To be clear, Friday's loss didn't fit the script so much as it made a mockery of it. It was a Saturday Night Live sketch about Giants losses.
Despite occupying territory reserved for good teams, the Giants losses always feel so typical. The struggles and failures drive fans to familiar platitudes.
