Our hitting has been putrid, but we are hitting a team .233 on balls in play. That will likely average itself out so our hitting should be better in general than it has been.
But on the flipside, our starting pitching's metrics are showing that we have been a bit lucky, which means pitching at its current rate is not sustainable.
I know its only been 6 games, but I am much more optimistic about this team now than I was in Spring Training. I feel like this is closer to a .500 team than a 70 win team like I assumed it would be. Time will tell.

So those weird light blue and yellow Boston marathon alternate uniforms the Red Sox are debuting is part of the first 6 team Nike rollout for the new "City Connect" uniform program, which will use a look that has to do with the teams' city, but not the team itself.
Apparently the Giants are one of the 6 teams that will have these uniforms this season, and they are planned for multiple game use, and will be around for 3+ years.

Never going to be able to wear my UCLA hat again. People are going to think I am in Boston gear.

Yet our on base % is solid? Heard last year we finished 7th in the league. Hitting will come. We got some BP relief coming in May as well.
wouldn't it be nice to see a Giants SP pitch a complete game

Nike is bringing it all to baseball. Surprisingly, it was confirmed that Boston actually approached Nike about making this uniform. Im nervous about what ours will look like. Id guess its something similar to the Warriors "The Bay" jerseys.
