This week in SF Giants baseball: Shohei Ohtani, Bruce Bochy and a tough stretch of opponents
Starting this weekend, when Bruce Bochy’s Texas Rangers come to town, the San Francisco Giants won’t face an opponent with a losing record for the next three weeks.
On the bright side, they also don’t leave California, except for a six-day stretch, until September. After a grueling first-half travel schedule — more air miles than any other club — they have only two trips left east of the Rockies.“They’re both challenging in different ways,” manager Gabe Kapler said. “We’ve played good baseball against teams with winning records. All of the challenges, they’re significant but also ones that we can and have overcome.
“To get where you want to be, you’ve got to beat the teams you’re supposed to beat,” starter Alex Cobb said. “It seems like this year we’re playing really good baseball against good teams but letting two games go like that, hopefully it’s not going to cost us at the end of the year.”It would have been 21 straight games against opponents above .500, but it appears the Giants have caught the Angels at the time of their annual self-immolation.
