The 2022 San Francisco Giants were 26 games worse than the ones which won the division the previous season. That’s the biggest drop between full seasons for the franchise since the 1943 Giants lost 30 games more. Obviously, some of that was a result of the roster regressing, having vastly over-performed expectations. But they were only saved from a rare feat, of going from 105+ wins to a losing record in consecutive seasons, by ending the season with a 12-4 run. Before that, they were just one game ahead of the Diamondbacks on September 18, briefly triggering hopes we might end up in third.
