San Francisco ended up losing that game 3-2.\n\n\n<p>Before Wednesday's defeat against Arizona, the Giants had accumulated 18 outs on the bases, one of the highest figures in Major League Baseball this season. In addition, they had been retired seven times at the plate.<\/p>\n\n\nThe leader Tony Vitello recently acknowledged that the team needed to reinforce fundamental aspects of base running and execute game situations with greater discipline.\n\n\"I think some of those things need to be reviewed more, both mentally and physically, with repetitions,\" expressed the first-year leader.\n\nBorg was part of the Giants organization for more than two decades. He signed as an international free agent in the Dominican Republic in 2004 and, after concluding his playing career in 2008, began an extensive career in development and training within the club's minor league system.\n\nThe Dominican had been integrated into the Major League coaching staff this season, after receiving the support of general manager Zack Minasian and manager Vitello.\n\n\"Can we hire that guy?\" Minasian recalled Vitello asking after meeting Borg during the process of forming the technical staff.\n\nDuring spring training, Borg described himself as an aggressive coach at third base, a characteristic that ultimately ended up generating questions amid the team's problems.\n\n\"I've always been an aggressive coach,\" Borg stated in February.\n\nNow, the Giants will seek to reorganize their technical structure while trying to correct the flaws that have affected their performance this season.\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SAN FRANCISCO. \u2013 The San Francisco Giants announced this Friday the reassignment of Dominican H\u00e9ctor Borg within the organization&#8217;s player development department, ending his time as third base coach of the Major League team.
