Good morning, baseball fans!
We are into the second month of San Francisco Giants baseball. So it’s time for another check-in to see how Giants fans are feeling about the season thus far. I plan to do these about once a month over the season, so there’s plenty of time to get your hot takes in before being proven wrong by time, as you do.
Personally, I was starting to get a little concerned about the team last week when they lost two in a row to the San Diego Padres and started the series against the Colorado Rockies with a loss. But they quickly righted the ship, taking three of four against the Rockies. As you should when playing the Rockies.
In last month’s check-in, I said that I can’t bring myself to have any real complaints about the performance of this team thus far. As of the time this is being written, they are 22-14. I’ve been covering the team for nearly a decade now, and I cannot remember the last season I covered where they had a winning record of any kind. (I did not return to the site until the tail end of the 2021 season, sadly, so I didn’t get to enjoy that one.)
Do I have my concerns about some of the pitchers? Yes. Is the offense as consistent as I would like? It could be more consistent.
But the fact that we’re six weeks or so into the season and they aren’t having a do-si-do with .500 is a massive improvement, in my book. No notes. Keep it up.
How are you feeling about the season so far?
