As Kenny pointed out yesterday, the Giants have been only mildly impacted by injuries this season from a performance standpoint and they’re right in the middle of the pack in terms of volume of injuries. Every team deals with injuries every season and so it’s, rightfully, not considered an “excuse” when it comes to teams falling short of expectations.
Since they were one of the worst teams in professional sports last season, the expectations coming into 2018 were very low — and they managed to exceed them. The Giants are capably showing that they have a roster of human beings who have a general idea of how to play baseball.
