Good morning, baseball fans! And what a morning it is. The San Francisco Giants were the first team to 90 wins after sweeping the Colorado Rockies yesterday.
It’s still wild to me that team that had modest expectations starting the season is on pace to win more games than any of the teams that ended up winning the World Series. It feels like just a couple of years ago people were rooting for them to reach 100 losses and now they’re closing in on 100 wins.
I thought Brand Crawford summed it up quite nicely in this quote shared by Susan Slusser of The San Francisco Chronicle:
“Nobody outside our clubhouse expected this year for us, so it’s definitely a nice benchmark.
