Good morning, baseball fans!
As we approach Spring Training and the beginning of the season, we’re going to be doing some questions for y’all about your thoughts about the San Francisco Giants and baseball in general!
Today’s question is what would a successful 2026 Giants season look like for you?
Personally, I’d take a winning record with meaningful baseball played until September. Meaning I’d like to see them in the hunt for a playoff spot late into the season. And I mean actually in the hunt, not
a delusional belief that they could possibly, maybe, miraculously make something happen if every single thing goes right (but really they’re five teams back from a Wild Card slot.)
And the winning record, well, it’d just be nice to see the right side of .500 for a change. I’ve covered this team for a decade and they’ve managed a winning record just twice in that time. And those (2021 and 2016) were seasons where I came onboard towards the end of the year, so I don’t feel like that counts.
I’d also like to see Jung Hoo Lee have a full breakout season; Rafael Devers hit 34 home runs; and heck, let’s shoot for the moon and say I’d like to also see Logan Webb actually get the Cy Young Award he’s been flirting with for a half-decade. But those would just be bonuses/concessions.
