As his former team, the Milwaukee Brewers, continues to rack up wins, Willy Adames is left searching for answers with the San Francisco Giants, who have lost five games in a row following an 11-1 drubbing at the hands of the San Diego Padres at home on Wednesday.
It has been a brutal second half of the season thus far for Adames and the Giants, who have dropped to 10 games outside of first place in the National League West standings. The Giants had a 50.4 percent chance to make the 2025 MLB playoffs on June 15, per FanGraphs.
After the sweep at the hands of the Padres, San Francisco is projected to join the postseason party by just 2.8 percent. Meanwhile, the Brewers, who defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday to complete a sweep, are on a 12-game win streak and carry a 100 percent chance to make the postseason, to date.
Ex-Milwaukee Brewers star Adames not happy with Giants’ state
Adames shared his true feelings about his team, which saw him go 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in the loss to San Diego.
“It feels like for the last two months, it’s the same story,” Adames said after the series finale loss to the Padres, per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area. “It feels like for some reason nothing positive is coming. It’s either a jam shot hitting the base with the bases loaded [that was] a double-play ball. Something negative is in the air. We haven’t been able to figure out how to beat it and how to be better out there. It seems that it’s been the same story.
Added Adames: “It sucks. It’s bad, because we have a really good team in here but it hasn’t gone our way lately.”
Adames, who played four seasons with the Brewers before signing a seven-year, $182 million contract with the Giants in December, is batting just .223/.309/.393, so far in his first year with San Francisco.
