After getting swept for the second time this month, are Giants fans starting to get concerned about the team?
Good morning, baseball fans!
As sports fans, we are often guilty of the sin of overreaction. I’m guilty, you’re guilty, your cat is probably even guilty. Since today is an off-day for the San Francisco Giants, let us be guilty together and do a bit of overreacting.
The Giants just got swept by the Detroit Tigers. It sucks, but it’s fine. The Tigers are first in their division and will likely be playoff contenders. Not too much to freak out about there, even if it was frustrating as heck.
They were also swept by the Minnesota Twins earlier in the month. A little less respectable, but it happens. And it adds to the small pile of worry that grows in our heads.
The Giants have officially lost more games than they’ve won in the month of May. Which is not great. Doesn’t feel good. I’m not a fan of it, and it’s got me freaking out just a little bit.
It helps when I look at the standings and see that they’re still only three games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers. Could be worse, but also very easily could get worse quickly if they don’t turn it around.
However, speaking of worse, the Colorado Rockies have only won nine games this year. So, you know, at least there’s that. The Giants could probably lose every game for the rest of the season and still not fall below fourth in the division.
So that’s something.
