Winning baseball games is hard. Winning lots of them is, therefore, especially hard. Winning seven of them a row, including five on the road, is wildly hard, which is why you should be very impressed that the San Francisco Giants just did that, even if it ended on Wednesday with a 3-2 loss to the Cincinnati Reds.
One of the reasons winning baseball games is hard and that winning lots of baseball games in a row is hard, is because the margin for error is slim. The margin for error is slim when you’re a good team at home playing a bad team.
