The San Francisco Giants are in the midst of a relatively brutal season for both the fans and players with few exceeding or even meeting expectations. Of course, there have still been bright spots, as there will always be over the course of a 162-game season.
Among the early highlights have been Bruce Bochy’s 1,000th win and a thrilling 12-11 extra-innings win over the Reds in Cincinnati.
However, in the aggregate, this season has been more disappointment than anything else.
That said, in an effort to power through the season, I have unearthed a few statistics that provide a reason for optimism for five San Francisco Giants players.
