How long we've waited

So the Giants are 3 games over .500 for the first time since the end of the 2016 season.

I suspect it is not a stretch to say this is the best 33 game stretch since the ‘16 ASB...

After 33 games we have a better record than we had in '16, and, no GtPnch-blsvs, whereas in '16 we already had 2.

No blown saves???

The team has 7 individual BSs and 7 BP losses.

Remember in '16 when we continually had leads in the ninth and ended up losing the f'ing game? That's what I call a GtPnch-blsv.

I understand what you meant. I was just wondering what your numbers meant.

And didn’t the bully collapse not happen until after the ASB?

That depends on what you mean as collapse. We started having those gut punches early in the year, in the first 33 games.
As opposed to this year when we haven't had a gut punch yet. KNOCK ON F'ING WOOD.

Almost a solid Colin impersonation...

Um... so you guys had 1 bad season?

All those even years got you guys greedy. I remember the Giants’ ineptitude from the mid-2000s until 2010 like it was yesterday (as I assume many of you do).

I don’t know for sure, but I imagine that before 2018, the last time the Phillies were 3 games over .500 was 2011.
