After a contentious and embittered winter, spring has sprung for the 2022 San Francisco Giants with a 7 - 3 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Friday night.
Friendly reminder that final scores do not really matter in Spring Training games. Sure it’s probably a good sign if Darin Ruf posts a 1.000 plus OPS these next couple of weeks and the Giants win every game by 10 runs—but a bad spring record is no reason to sound the alarm, nor is going hitless against Chicago pitching for 7 innings (which is what happened last night).
