17-9.  In and of  itself that’s impressive. In fact, it’s their best start since 2003. And the first time since 1974 that a Giant’s team without  either Barry or Willie on it got off of to this fast a  start.

But it’s even more so when you consider that they are now 14 games into a brutal 17 game stretch. 8-6. This was one of those stretches where they could’ve gone 4-13.  The one good thing is it was in April and not August.

Then add the fact that their opponents to date,  excluding games playing against the Giants, are playing at a .560 clip.  

They also are a hell of a lot more fun to watch.

Also, Melvin has done a hell of a job protecting the bullpen. This could’ve been brutal in that regard. Instead, he’s managed to juggle things so that no one‘s overworked at this point. That could pay off in August and September.
