I paraphrase:

WE'RE TOO GOOD TO IMPROVE!

Giants give up four runs during Farhan Zaidi's in-game interview vs. Dodgers

(snap) 📷


During the second inning of Tuesday night’s broadcast between the Giants and Dodgers, mere hours after the 3 p.m. PT MLB trade deadline, Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi joined Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow on the NBC Sports Bay Area.

“It was a long week, work-wise, but we’re excited about some of the deals we made,” Zaidi said. “Excited to get back out here.”


Just as he said that, on the first pitch of the inning, Hanser Alberto hit a leadoff single to begin a painful rally for the Dodgers that resulted in four runs. Alex Wood proceeded to walk a batter, hit another, throw a bad pickoff to second base, two outfielders made unsuccessful diving plays and the Dodgers used two RBI singles and two sac flies to build a 4-0 lead. Before the Giants could even get out of the inning, Kruk and Kuip let Farhan exit early.


Think that YOU had an embarrassing day? Oopsy!

WAIT. IT GETS WORSE.
In the last 7 games against L.A., the Giants are 0 for 7, going for a home and home sweep tomorrow (OMG!)
Twice tonight, no runs with the bases loaded, only once last night.
HOW BAD IS IT?
They couldn't even trade Yastrzemski TO BOSTON!!!
