Exactly what I said. I know we won 81 games last year. But due to the entertainment factor, it felt like we won 51 games. I cant take another year like last year. I went to 2 games last season, which is exponentially lower than any non-covid year in my 4 decades on this planet. I had games on TV, but mostly became background noise without paying attention at all.

I can die a happy Giants fan because of 2010-2014. Its not even about winning or competing for more rings anymore. I just want to be entertained.

My thoughts exactly. I mean, I want to go to the playoffs and have success, but the days of hand wringing over it are done. I just can't stand the Oakland A's bargain bin team strategy.

I'm with both of you and I hardly watched last year because they were just too damn boring. But, I do question whether Carlos Correa is a mega superstar who warrants a 400M contract. It would be hard for me to fathom paying him more total money than Aaron Judge

Like I said, in 5 years id rather have Correa. Judge wont age well, and is already 3 years older. With the way the market appreciates now, and the money the Giants are making, its not really as big of a deal if they spend big on guys like Correa. Its better than watching Wilmer Flores, Tommy La Stella, and Darin Ruf hit 3-4-5.

If I were Farhan I would make a power point presentation on the cautionary tale of Aaron Rowand and use it to defend my lack of spending.

These FA deals are insane...all of these players will be dumpster fires after the halfway point

None of that really matters right now. If the Giants go another year with a roster nobody wants to see they're going to have bigger problems.
