The last two weeks have been my favorite as a Giants fan for about a decade. We have offensive producers who are young and from within. But I am aware the group of younger players may be exhibiting a collective Casey Schmitt '23 sydrome, where they come in hot for a couple of weeks and then fade. Matos has already cooled off and Luciano is struggling defensively. I understand ups and downs are part of the process when you are dealing with younger players, but its going to be a real let down if they are sent back down or benched as Slater, Conforto and Ahmed come back.
Doug, we're gonna need to track down a live chicken, no time for curses when the Yankees come to town!
Super analysis, Maestro.
Yup - 2023 redux staring los G's in the face. Let's see what Whisenhunt can do.

Good post, Doug. That's great information that helps us anticipate what might happen in a game or a series, as well as a longer picture. Thank you.
