"The Giants are going to miss the postseason by a small amount of wins. Bruce Bochy’s decision to bench Fred Lewis will be significant part of the gap between playing into October and not, and when you look back at the process, you can see that it’s an embarrassing display of incompetence. A good manager would have made use of Lewis’ skills, skills unique on the Giants’ roster. Instead, Bochy jerked the player around and then used bad performance analysis to bury him. The Giants and their fans deserve better than that kind of incompetence."

Very good article. Definitely worth the read.

I love this site, but this post in particular is a pretty good summary of how I feel.

Could someone more familiar with advanced statistics verify the claims made in this article?

Lulz ensue...

Ahhh, Deadspin....

I count at least 3 former Giants.

Not great analysis, really, but two of our guys are mentioned extensively.
