With 42 games to go, @calsnowskier is looking the closest on the pre-season prediction. The Giants have settled into a 86-76 trajectory in the past week. And yes, projecting the season's win/loss record with a month and a half to go is a little less goofy than doing it in April.
This went from optimistic to pessimistic to back to optimistic lol
Hey, we do still have about 42 games left. There is still a chance for it to be pessimistic. They have to go 21-20 the rest of the way to make your prediction.
Nothing personal, but I think we are all rooting against you.
You are asking a lot of this club and are being borderline unrealistic right now.
It just has to finish 81-81, I need that
I do wonder if they will even manage that kind of finish. I wouldn't be surprised at all with a losing record in 2023. I would be surprised if they post a record of 82-80 or higher.
The way it would happen is they will play loose now that it's over and win a few by accident. That last homestand their opponents won't be all fired up anyway.
For some reason, I kinda want that to happen as well. I guess it would be a better statement of the franchise right now than 82-80 would suggest. People would hang their hat on this season as "at least it was a winning season". That is not how this season has felt. I didn't have high expectations going into this season but this team will have to go 8-2 the rest of the way to meet my modest expectations. That is a disappointment.
I would think so. Their contracts (as far as we know) expire at the end of 2024. Its a make or break year for both of them. I do hope that they do well but, if they do, I'll still probably be suspicious considering 2021.
