Having failed to establish an identity over the first 89 games, the Giants could struggle to become legitimate winners -- the label they want most -- over the next 73.
Pitching doesn't distinguish them. Although Giants starters lead the National League in innings and rank second in ERA, their record is a wholly mediocre 31-32.
Hitting? Please. The Giants don't rank higher than fifth in any significant offensive category, unless you count sacrifice bunts (fourth).
The Giants are capable of sublime efforts, such as Jason Schmidt's 16-strikeout game, Matt Cain's one-hit pitching over eight and nine innings, and Pedro Feliz's six-RBI outburst. And yet the team hasn't had so much as a four-game winning streak, and its high-water mark is four games over .500.
