Yes as far as those two are concerned - and especially that insufferable whiny gasbag Duane Kuiper - every opponents' scoring play is the result of sinister factors beyond their pitchers' control, not to mention juiced baseballs, stolen signs, etc. But all Giants runs are scored due to pure skill. If the Rockies went 17-1 against the Giants this year and finished 25 games ahead of them in the standings, Kuiper would still be dumbfounded by the notion that the Rockies might actually be the better team.
