Turns out 3 outcome baseball sucks to watch and rarely works the way it should in simulation
The article points out something important: we have Lee, Chapman, Adames, and Webb all locked up long terms and they’re good players.
Right now they might not be competing against the Aaron Judge or Ohtani’s of world, but at the very least they’re names we as fans can feel really safe to emotionally invest in.

I love seeing how people have rallied around Jung Hoo. I went to the game on Tuesday and I know that a JHL CC jersey is the easiest one to get since they’re already premade, but the sheer number of them that I saw showed how much this fan base loves that man.
I bristle a bit at the notion that only this team now is fun. It just feels incredibly short-sighted.
Literally one day ago this sub was in flames about our offense and Doval.
These feelings of FUN come and go with the wind and I certainly had plenty of moments of fun optimistic fandom, even outside of 2021.
Remember the 10 game winning streak? Or Schmitt’s hot start? Or Bailey getting called up and hitting like crazy? Or Matos’ player of the week? Or Harrison going off against Cincy? Or signing Chapman and Snell during Spring Training?
I guarantee there were “Giants are fun again articles” during those times too.
Kapler and Farhan are gone and we got our team back.
This is cool to see. The West is better when the Giants are good. I can’t wait for the Dodger/Giant showdowns this season.
I think the state of the team is so similar to that of the Sharks right now.
Take yesterday’s game for example. It would’ve been incredibly easy to write it off as a loss after we went down 6-0. If players are consistently having good time with great optimism, good things happen.
The Sharks gave up 8 goals yesterday but Celebrini still had a hat trick. The Giants consistently deliver on 2-out situations.
The Sharks have older guys like Ferraro who keep vibes up in the locker room. Same can be said for Verlander or Yaz.
Even as a fan base if we are easily swayed by the outcome of a game, you can always count on our players to give their all while having a good time.
Gives me great optimism looking forward!
Yes they are!
What I find hopeful in this team is that we are putting a lineup out there everyday of really good players. Yes they may not be Judge or Ohtani, but they are great and exciting to watch. Frankly I think Chapman is a top 15 position player, dude had a 7 WAR season, we haven’t seen play like that since Posey’s MVP season. Having a lineup full of very good position players, good defense, and great pitching is exactly where we need to be as a team.
