Giants broadcasters are the best, but I often look-up how opposing teams call games on key plays, innings. So many times in wins/losses, announcers called out odd defensive alignments or not bringing the infield in, which scored a run (“waving the white flag” in Mets Citi series). Who do you blame?: Melvin and the coaches? Adames, Chapman, the clubhouse leaders, quarterbacking the infield? Shared? If opposing teams announcers are correct that Giants OF/IF defensive alignments were incorrect too often, how much did that impact Ramos, JHL, and other players who declined defensively? Baggs is still reminding us about Kapler’s weaknesses writing about Melvin’s departure (ex: not calling team meetings). Maybe he should focus more on the current season and why it went so wrong. The funniest is during Melvin’s last weeks, Baggs scolded a subscriber in the comments arguing that Kapler was wrong about an in-game move (fan agreed with Kapler). Dude, Kapler has been gone for 2 years, move on!
