It Could Be Worse | Giants 5, Pirates 3
The Pirates have won only 39% of their games since 2019. They’re 194-303, more than 100 games under .500. That‘s bad.
The Giants have won 54% of games in this span, going 268-228.
For as maddening as this season as been, and for as perplexing as the Gabe Kepler-Farman Zaidi Era has been at times, the Giants are not the Pirates. This much we know.
They have a plan with their roster. Their coaching staff is an incubator of ideas. They have a direction that puts them on the cutting edge.
The Pirates? Well, they have a bird.
