If the San Francisco Giants miss the playoffs, it would mark the first time in the wild-card era (since 1995) that a team with the best record at the All-Star break did not play any postseason baseball. Its DEFCON 1 in the war room in San Francisco and time for Tums in the Bay Area, but whats the real problem?If you look at the team as separate squads within the larger collection, one group stands out. Their starting staff posted the sixth-best ERA in the majors in the first half, and its 10th-best in the second. Their defense allowed the third-lowest batting average on balls in play in the first half, and its still third-best in the second half. Their bullpen was third-best in the first half, and its fifth-best in the second.As for their offense, well, the Giants were 11th in the majors in runs scored (4th in the NL) at the All-Star break -- and theyre 29th, second to last, since then. It seems a strength has turned into a weakness.While theres evidence the team is pressing -- only three teams have seen their reach and miss rates go up more in the second half -- every lineup is really just a collection of individuals, and if you look harder at those individuals, three regulars have seen their performance tank in the second half, more than the rest of the team. Those three regulars -- Brandon Belt, Buster Posey and Brandon Crawford -- have spent the second half putting up weighted offense thats at least 20 percent worse than their first-half efforts. As much as a team is a large group, it looks like the Giants will go where these three take them.So whats going on with these guys? Lets try to figure it out.Asics Gel Nimbus 19 Womens .
