Good points, but Boch is definitely doing something right. They're able to consistently win games/series, like this weekend against the Rockies with only 6 runs in 3 games. Don't know totals off hand but the number of 1 run games they've played in is crazy, and their winning percentage in them crazier. A little bit of well timed small ball goes a long when it nets a run or two.. see Darren Ford's contributions this year. He's been integral in 4-5 G wins with super aggressive base running, all a product of Boch's well timed pinch running substitutions. As a life long SF fan, I could not be happier to still be perched in 1st place, even after losing our two best hitters. Beware when Pablo comes back and they can eke out 0.15 more runs per game!
