The San Francisco Giants certainly shocked baseball fans this past week with their 13-home run barrage across three games against the White Sox in Chicago and here and there they’ve managed to stir up some surprises on the pitching side, too. A quick glance at stat lines tells some of the story, our game recaps tell some more of the story, like context; and then there’s Statcast, which might very well provide the rest of the narrative.
Now, this post should be considered somewhere between pointless fun and somewhat informative. It’s far too early to draw any conclusions about how the Giants might perform going forward.
