Twenty games is a small sample size—we all know that. When the season is 40 games old, we can make a better assessment of where the Giants stand and their postseason chances.
Certainly four games back behind the Dodgers is nothing to get too nervous about.
Even though the 2012 season is young, we’ve seen some pretty amazing baseball already.
The Cain vs. Lee battle will go down in history as one of the truly great games played at AT&T. The streak of the Panda and the remarkable return of Buster are also things that the fans can rally behind.
There are some troubling trends as well though—question marks that GM Brian Sabean and manager Bruce Bochy will be addressing in the coming weeks. Tell me if you agree with the potential problems that I think the Giants need to fix ASAP.
