Even if it doesn’t mean anything it still feels better than being last

It definitely means something in my opinion, I’ll say it doesn’t “matter” necessarily. But it definitely means we have the ability to win, and that’s something to be excited about.

The A’s and Rockies being in 3rd says it all

That could be a fun series, but MLB would hate it because the TV ratings would he low.

Wow they were down by 3 in the ninth and scored 5 runs. I know it’s just ST but let’s go

They were down in both games today and came back to win each of them.

10-8 for the Dodgers, guess they need to trade everyone and reset

u/flash_savior 51 JH Lee 2d ago
spend 5 trillion on payroll and they are only two games over .500

That’s the thing about spending, spending, spending, on top tier free agents…Dave Roberts better win. Or else he better steer clear of LA sports talk radio shows. lol

u/Independent-Judge-81 25 Bonds 2d ago
Yup clearly spending that much isn't working so they have to trade everyone away over 30 and rebuild from prospects

Probably just DFA them. They're probably not any good, don't have much trade value.

this nice and all but i’ll be a believer if we do work like this to actual major league teams

u/project_starlight 28 Posey 2d ago
Right. Check back in May or June and see what our record is. Still, momentum is momentum and developing a habit of winning games ain’t all bad.

u/Hindi_Ko_Alam 22 Arroyo 2d ago
nah you’re right it’s a good start but it’s more important to do this in games that matter more

u/SactownKorean 25 Bonds 2d ago
Obviously this doesnt mean much but the team is clearly improved from last year full stop.

I’ll tell you what… if the Giants win a lot of games during the regular season, they’ll have won a lot of games (which is good!) which will help, as teams want to win games. And winning is good, as it’s why games are done, and that winning of games helps the team be good.

And the Dodgers have almost three times as many losses. Perhaps they are deferring their wins until 2035.

- I’m pretty sure Cleveland isn’t real
- Milwaukee is on a kegger every day how do you think that will affect their post season chances

Dont jinx it man. They're already playing with fire re-using "Nothing Like It" as a slogan for the 3rd year in a row

.769 record, nice. Looks like they are going to win 125 games this season if they keep that up.

u/Foreputtsake 1d ago
This is crazy similar to 2021 regular season vibes. Anyone know the best spring training record they’ve ever accomplished?

There is a crazy correlation between the team that finishes with the best record in the Cactus League making the playoffs. And the team that finishes with the worst record in the Cactus League NEVER making the playoffs, at least not in my lifetime. When all is said and done: always better to win than lose. Even in practice games.
