The thought of a series of end -of -season end of season at the Colorado rockies should have scared you. There is still a 2021 cosmic imbalance, when the giants needed a scan at Coors Field and In fact understood. Karmic interest is made up of this suction cup. It may have been better to remove it.
Instead, here is another final series without meaning for the Giants, who had nothing to play in a 162 match since this 2021 season. The eyes of the world of baseball will not be on the Giants and the Rockies this weekend. The eyes of people directly linked to the players of the giants and the rocks will not be on them this weekend. Everyone is in a way agreed that these games do not have to perform, but they are too afraid to speak.
Wait, there! In two months, you will be in a fetal position, begging to watch Ryan Walker with the loaded bases and nobody in a race of a race. You will miss baseball so much. These are not three games between two teams playing the channel. These are three precious gifts. And you can certainly look at them as if they mean something. All you have to do is stretch the definition of “important” to find something that giant fans should worry about the last weekend.
The race at .500
This team could wear an 80-82 season very GOOD. The 2025 giant page on the baseball benchmark would not be out of words with a large old 78-84 dragged at the top either. They played as two types of teams for long sections this season.
At the bottom of your heart, however, you know it’s a team of .500. It is the strangest and most manic team .500 that you have never followed, but this team does not deserve to lose a single match more than it wins, and vice versa. It is the only satisfactory conclusion possible for such an erratic season. Future generations will examine the record and imagine a dull and lifeless team, a team that was just as likely to receive the success of the game as to abandon it. They will have no idea. This team was not normal and they do not deserve to be described as such.
And, yes, the idea of finishing .500 should matter to all those involved. As long as people care about baseball, they will take a look at the 2025 giant record and immediately classify them as a bad team or a mediocre team. The difference between 80-82 and 81-81 is the 11-inch 5-foot baseball version. It doesn’t really matter, except that it is absolutely the case, and the giants know what they would like to put their driver’s license.
Willy Adames and the curse of Barry Bonds (that on Home Runs)
Take a moment to enjoy the season that Adames has had. I do not know when his statistical nadir was, but there was a point where statistics like war shouted “this guy stinking” at the same time as your brain whispered him. Adames was not part as an average defensive judgment, even less the one that was promised. And he struck under. 200 with an ops in the .500 in June. An entire season would have led to an extremely tedious Adames discourse during the offseason.

On June 10, Adames managed five circuits and no one thought of hitting him 25 more in the last three months of the season. Everyone just wanted a player they could look forward to next season. An average of the stick on the Mendoza line, perhaps 10 other circuits and a war that was not embarrassing, something that allowed you to signal the season down as “one of these seasons”.
He has already accomplished as much, but he can do even more. Since June 11, Adames has struck 23 circuits in 91 games, leaving it to only two 30 -year circuits. As you may have heard or read, the giants have not had a 30 Homers striker since Barry Bond in 2004. If Adames could hit only two home races, only two pokes on the wall, our regional Nightmare long would not be finished. Keep Heliot Ramos in good health throughout training in the spring, and you will break the other curse of links, that on the fields of the opening day. When these two curses break, there is a chance that Shohei Ohtani can wink without anyone remembering him, something on the cosmos correcting his own mathematics. It’s worth it.
Most importantly, I’m just tired of the bit. When some national advertisers came to town a few weeks ago to play a game for webtv or sprust or something else, they were talking about the drought of 30 homes as if it were in the past, as if Adames had already broken it. You can’t blame them. It was also at 28 circuits at the time, and they could not know about the “final destination 2” type persistence of this curse. Brandon Belt reached 29 circuits and they broke hands. Do not ask who are “they”. You will discover it early.
In fact, wait, no, I have it here. He was a launcher of the Rockies who broke Belt’s hand. Yes, the Rocky launchers will do this kind of thing. Because they are generally not so good for pitching.
But I am sure that if Adames strikes his 29th circuit at the start of the series, there is nothing to fear. RIGHT?
Bryce Eldridge struck his first home run in career
It will be fascinating to see what the organization has planned for Eldridge next season, if it is in the mixture for bats every day from the opening day, or if it will be another season to soften it in the hot wiring bath, so to speak. This could go in both directions, and we could ask the same questions on the last day of the Cactus League.
Anyway, let it remove it. Eldridge will strike somewhere between one and 50 baseball balls in McCovey Cove during his career, so he is free to check this box on his list too. Or maybe he can do something more dramatic, like hitting a ball so strong that it explodes the naufrative post like the lights of “The Natural”.
The Giants have once again disappointed you. But at least you can look at an extremely 20 year old child, make you hope. Small these rare opportunities.
The rocks losing 117 games
This represents three additional losses that the 114 they have now, and each additional loss becomes exponentially funnier. It may not be the polished way of watching the rocky season, but I am still angry with them for having been 0-13 against the brave in 1993. I am still angry with the Home Run of Neifi Perez in 1998, and I am still angry with Neifi Perez. Remember Nolan Arenado, people. Remember who presented it in your life.
They won this. Perhaps not the fans of the Rockies in groups, in itself, but certainly some people in the organization. Dinger, in particular. Making it sad is by far the least important objective of the series, but it is an eternally important objective in its own right. Each loss enters here and 117 can only make it sadder.
But this is obviously the least important reason to look at this weekend. Heck, I’m going to scan the rocky if it means that Adames can hit two ugly home. I don’t care if they bounce on the head of a voltiseur. Just hit them. Go to the distance. Relieve our pain.
