In my nearly four years of running this site, I’ve never done the old faithful of internet sportswriting: a mailbag. That’s partially because I consider myself a writer who just happens to cover baseball and the San Francisco Giants in particular rather than anything approximating an expert on the baseball side of things. And it’s partially because I spend my days drinking coffee and interacting in the comment sections of this website, so a formal mailbag just seems a little silly.
But with the Giants having not won a game in a week, it seemed like a fun time to use mailbag questions not as a platform for me to provide answers so much as a springboard to talk about some interesting things surrounding the team.
