The Giants’ 2019 season opens Thursday afternoon in San Diego, so it’s time to stick my neck out there once again and make some predictions for the 162-game campaign.
My assessment, in short: It’s going to be bad.
But unlike the last two years, when the losing was aimless, this season, the stink is part of the process. That’ll make it interesting — a marked improvement. Life is all about expectations vs. reality and the Giants have come to the reality that they shouldn’t have high expectations for this season.
Last year, I did well on my predictions — you can be the judge of which ones hit — but I’m looking for a perfect 5-for-5 mark in 2019.
