Who the heck knows? We’re firmly in uncharted territory here. Spare me the “small sample size” admonishment or the warnings of April Mariners — this team defies convention. The roster churn and platooning shouldn’t be working this well, and on paper, the assembled talent shouldn’t be this much better than what was on the roster to start the season.
None of the turd tweets out there minimizing the Giants’ run with the gentle mockery of “it’s just the Padres and Rockies and only the Padres and Rockies they’ve beaten” takes into account that the Giants have had tremendous difficulty beating the likes of the Padres and Rockies for a while.
