Giants beat the Dodgers 15-0. They've won 6 games in a row, and 8 in a row on the road. They've won 5 straight road series. Since April 22, they're 32-19, which is best in the NL and 2nd in the Majors. And 80% of the people who respond to my tweets have lost their internet.

This offseason the Giants signed a mega power hitter with bat flips galore, a pitcher who throws 104 mph, and a CF named Grandson of the Wind who slaps the ball all over the field, dives relentlessly, and models for McLaren. They addressed last year's biggest flaw: boringness.

Main takeaways from Jung Hoo Lee's presser: 1. Perhaps $$ was a huge factor, but abundantly clear he wants to be in San Francisco. 2. The Giants view him very highly. This is not just a PR pivot post-Ohtani, even if that's a factor. 3. Fans are going to absolutely adore him.

One added bonus to the Giants landing Jung-hoo Lee: his best friend is Ha-seong Kim, who will likely be a free agent next offseason, and has a great relationship with Bob Melvin. Not too hard to put 2 and 2 together.
