I don't know how many Giants fans there are here,

[Mr.Bill]

but they are on fire right now. It's early in the season, I hope they can keep it up.

[rubbersole]

1. Rays, also.

[onecaliberal]

2. You and me both.

They do seem to have that thing, they’re finding ways to win games.

[Mr.Bill]

3. On their post-game show they were talking about

how it's some veterans having one of their better years and rookies that are coming on strong and how they are all working together on the field and the clubhouse.

[onecaliberal]

6. Yes, you can see it.

Someone comes up with a clutch play or hit. Such fun to watch.

[usonian]

4. Overjoyed to hear Mike Yastrzemski hit a three-run walk-off splash homer.

Grew up in the Boston area.

[Brother Buzz]

5. I'm totally one and I know, for sure, there's one in Florida, too

I believe I could hear Carl Yastrzemski's hooting and hollering from California when his grandson, Mike, splashed one into McCovey cove for that 10th inning three run walk-off homer.

The Giants getting hot just before the All-Star break is a good thing, and Gabe Kapler is thinking, "I love it when a plan comes together".

[usonian]

8. The supreme moment was when Mike hit a home run in Fenway Park with grand-dad looking on.

7. My husband and son are BIG Giants fans, I am just a casual one.

They watch the games and follow them closely. I root for them to be winners, but don't really like watching baseball unless it's in person or the playoffs and Giants are in it. That being said,

Go Giants!

[Auggie]

9. Recent injuries are a bit concerning ...

Pitchers Cobb, Stripling, Brebbia, Alexander are injured ... plus two big bats that were creating a lot of mayhem: Mitch Haniger and Wilmer Flores.

[Mr.Bill]

10. Yeah, they have been struggling with injuries all year.

So far we've been relying on the AAA bench to fill in, and it's been working well. The same thing happened during some of the World Series years when Bruce Bochy had to biuld a team two or three times during the season.

[Brother Buzz]

11. A ninth inning walk-off walk, Baby

Joc Pederson's walk in the bottom of the ninth wasn't as glamorous as Mike Yastrzemski walk off homer, but a win is a win.



9 wins in the last ten games

[Mr.Bill]

12. Not only nine wins in the last ten games,

but nine straight. Third longest streak in MLB this year.

[Brother Buzz]

13. Um, the Reds are sitting pretty with a 10-0 streak

However the second place Giants have a higher winning percentage (.562) than the first place Reds (.527)

I heard someone say the Giants have been playing over .700 for the last month, or so, but I have no clue how to search that stat.

[Mr.Bill]

14. Yes, the Reds' streak is the second longest.

Longest was the 13 games the Rays began the season with.

[ificandream]

16. I'm a Giants fan and I love the way they're playing, but the bullpen games concern me.

But Gabe Kapler has kicked butt with this team so far.

And an even better note about the way the season has gone is how it started with both Judge and Correia turning them down and how everyone felt. I think with the way the rookies (and the rest of the team) has performed few are thinking about what could have been. I'm sure not.
