The Giants may very well finish 81-81 again.
Their team OPS and ERA indicate this is an average group on both sides of the ball.
Finishing .500 would be a disappointment. Another vanilla season.
But Casey Schmitt and now Patrick Bailey have introduced a new quality to the Giants. An immeasurable one. F.U.N.? J.O.Y.?
The Giants haven't been this enjoyable to watch in two years. The club is winning games thanks to Their Guys.
Bailey blasted his first career homer Sunday, and Schmitt's two hits upped his average to .383. It’s fun looking forward to their at-bats.
The Giants have been devoid of fun for the last year-plus.
The Kids are bringing it back.
Next up: The Giants hit the road for three in Minneapolis, followed by four in Milwaukee. This afternoon it’ll be The Opening, John Brebbia (2-0, 4.26 ERA), against Bailey Ober (3-0, 1.78 ERA).
