The Locked On Giants Postcast delivers a scathing critique of the San Francisco Giants' ongoing offensive struggles, highlighted by a 2-1 loss to the Cincinnati Reds. Despite a solid five-inning start from Robbie Ray, the offense failed to generate runs, managing only one tally on a solo home run by Willie Adamas. Host Eric Triple E Engel emphasizes the stark contrast between the Giants' performance in wins—where they average 6 runs and hit .327—and their losses, where they're averaging just 1.5 runs and batting .188. The lineup is described as riddled with 'black holes,' particularly at the top with Patrick Bailey, Oliver, and Harrison Bader, while Rafael Devers' underwhelming start raises concerns given his $250 million contract. Despite these issues, Willie Adamas shines as the lone bright spot, recording his 12th extra-base hit of April and leading the NL in doubles. The bullpen is praised for its efficiency, but the offense remains a critical liability. The episode ends with a call to action for the Giants to find more playing time for struggling but promising hitter Daniel Susac.
The Giants' offense is performing at a disastrous level in losses, averaging just 1.5 runs and batting .188.
Willie Adamas is the only consistent offensive force, leading the NL in doubles and showing elite extra-base hit production.
Rafael Devers' poor start is a major concern, especially given his high contract and lack of production or walks.
The Giants need to give Daniel Susac more at-bats, as he outperforms struggling players like Patrick Bailey in a fraction of the plate appearances.
Robbie Ray showed promise with his changeup and pitch variety, but command issues in the 4th inning cost the team.
