The Story in 60 Seconds

Around the Foghorn argues that the San Francisco Giants' decision to retain their coaching staff is a major mistake following Tyler Mahle's success with the Atlanta Braves. After being traded by the Giants at the deadline, Mahle recorded a 1.99 ERA over nine regular-season starts and pitched seven strong innings in the Wild Card round against the Philadelphia Phillies.

The writer criticizes Giants leadership, including Buster Posey, for not making changes after Atlanta coaches quickly improved Mahle by simply advising him to throw his splitter more. The article asserts that the Giants' pitching staff failed to maximize Mahle's talent and contends the organization needs better coaching or better arms heading into year two under Tony Vitello.
