If you think the San Francisco Giants got off to a rough start to the 2019 season, harken back to 2015.
That year, the team started off with a 3-9 record, right in line with the 3-8 mark that this year’s team posted to begin the year.
This year’s club is now 8-11, so it has made some incremental progress since that rocky start. How does that compare to the 2015 team?
All things considered, 2015 was a respectable year for the Giants with plenty of memorable moments.
Matt Duffy had a breakout season and finished second in NL Rookie of the Year voting, Chris Heston threw a no-hitter, and the Giants were still in contention for the NL West crown in early September when a sweep on the road at the hands of the rival Los Angeles Dodgers essentially derailed their playoff hopes.
