The baseball world was quiet on Thursday, but San Francisco Giants fans were loud. Amid manufactured momentum, Giants fans rallied together for an enormous (giant, you might say) online potluck, sharing stories, hope, pessimism, theories, and everything else.
It seemed like a good time to put out questions for a mailbag, and the momentum of the Giants Faithful’s onlineness resulted in roughly 109 questions.
I planned on “answering” those questions at commercial breaks while covering tonight’s Golden State Warriors game. But then I woke up to “news” that Shohei Ohtani might sign today, and suddenly I was faced with potentially having a sports writer’s worst nightmare: irrelevant content.
