Early reactions to the fast start...

There might be some ambiguity and overlap, but for the most part, Giants fans fall into one of the following three categories right now:
The Buzzkill
Sample size, sample size, sample size. Look, Edgar Renteria is already starting to cool down, and it’s not like Bengie Molina and Juan Uribe are good for .400 OBPs. Pablo’s not going to hit .400, and they aren’t going to keep timing their hits so perfectly.
Doesn’t anyone remember Jose Cruz, Jr.’s hot April? Aaron Rowand almost made the All-Star team in 2008 because of his first two months. On May 7th last year, the Royals were 18-11 and in first place. Four Giants starters have on-base percentages over .400, and that’s not going to last. Get back to me in June, and I’ll tell you if it’s all legit.
Man, this sandwich tastes like fetid porpoise meat. This is awful. Arrrgh. Stoplights. I hate stoplights. Why does they always turn red when I’m approaching? Great, I have a rash now. These are probably going to turn into boils or something. Just great. And you know what I hate? Sunsets over the ocean. Overrated. You get sand in your shoes and stuff. So, yeah, the Giants aren’t this good either, and we’re all going to die some day.
The Optimist, now with confirmation bias
I told you! I told you! Molina is freaking clutch, and I knew that Edgar was going to have a bounceback season. He was just hurt last year – those first 15 at-bats were all I needed to see. And you can’t tell me that this team could have come back on Billy Wagner last year! Come on! It’s a totally different team this year. They have heart! Barry Zito is hungry this season, and he’s going to be great!
I just came back from the doctor, and he’s sending me to a specialist about all of these exclamation points! I was all, dude, calm down, I’m just excited about the Giants! This is our year, baby! But haters gonna hate, LOL! Seriously, though, if this pitching staff gets into the playoffs, we’ll be unstoppable!
The Person Who Wants To Stab Both of Those Types in the Neck with a Sharpened Toothbrush Handle
Look, I don’t know who’s good and who’s a mirage. I’m sure the Giants aren’t going to hit .294/.368/.441 as a team all season, but I’ll allow for the possibility that they’re a little better. Right now, I’m just glad this team isn’t killing us like they did at the start of the last three seasons. It’s been fun so far. And from the moment the first pitch is thrown, I’m still expecting the Giants to win every game, and I’ll be disappointed if they don’t. Note that this is not a change in philosophy from 2006, 2007, 2008, or 2009. I watched every game expecting a win, even when I knew the team stunk. That’s what made those teams so disappointing. That’s why I’m having so much fun right now, even if it’s not exactly realistic for the Giants to go 138-24.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go stab some people in the neck with a sharpened toothbrush handle.

It is only the Stros and Bucs but...
…as has been said before, the last few years teams like the Bucs gave the Giants way more trouble than they should have.
If you can break even against the good teams, and beat the living snot out of the doormats, you’ve got a playoff team.

I am Sharks, Warriors, Giants, and Niner fan...
I am numb to expectations and success…just a carcass on the side of the sports highway.
we must not forget
that the niners were actually one of the best football franchises ever for a while…so although i would agree with you with the rest of the teams, i dont think that the niners belong there. That being said, it is a dark time for bay area sports
Agree re Niners...
But it only makes it worse in some ways…I actually know what winning feels like…minus the last year, I look at the niners and remember how good it was when we had HOF players everywhere.
It’s like watching the Giants the past few years and remembering the 2002 season before Scott Spezio stepped into the batters box.
yeah
the niners had some amazing teams. And as disappointing as the niners, warriors, giants, and sharks have been this decade just remember one thing….. LOL AL DAVIS!
seeing jerry rice and steve young ...
made me realize that the niners were the last bay area sports team to win a championship … and damn that was a while ago now.

Except for the “dominated in every single stage of the minors” part.
I don’t just mean he had a solid ERA or something. The guy had a 10.0 K/9 as a 22 year old between A+, AA, and AAA, all as a starter. The next year he spent half a year in AAA with a 9.7 K/9, 2.1 BB/9.
Hell, even in the majors his K/9 is still over 7. But I don’t know if that’s going to last.

Minor league scouting reports also mean nothing – look at Delmon Young.
Also, major league stats mean nothing – look at Edgardo Alfonzo.
So I guess all players are identical as far as we know.
I was promised lasagna.
The reason people think
That minor league stats mean nothing, by the way, is that they don’t know how to use them – they ignore context (age/level, hitting environment), and they focus too much on superficial stats (AVG, ERA) and not enough on peripheral ones (K’s, BB’s, GB/FB).

Sure I'm optimistic, annoyingly so perhaps
But I’m also realistic. And the reason I’m optimistic is that going 6-1 in April is exactly the same on the standings charts as going 6-1 in September.
I don’t have a double standard about winning. I get super pumped when we win early in the year, just like I get super pumped when we win late in the year.
My Son was the third most valuable Giant position player by WAR in 2009. A little sad, a little happy.

Each win might be mathematically equal, but 6-1 in April leaves plenty of time for other teams to catch up. 6-1 in September and you’re on a playoff drive. Not really the same.

Or something. I’ve heard that’s become one of those meme thingies. But seriously, I’m very excited about how this first week has gone and I hope that the team can carry through a few of the lessons they should’ve learned this past week. Like, you know, for instance, taking walks is a good thing.

Since Billingsley came up at the same time as Cain and Kershaw and Lincecum were drafted near each other it was kind of like “What team will have the better 1-2 punch” type of deal.

Having gone to 3 our of 4 of the these home games, so far, it really does seem like the team is playing differently. There just seems to be some sort of optimism that everyone is backing everyone else up. The timely hitting really does feel good in person, I have to say, compared to last year.

Torres is this year's Rent
why is he playing?
Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.
Because he played well last year?
And we shouldn’t judge by the first couple games of the season?
My Son was the third most valuable Giant position player by WAR in 2009. A little sad, a little happy.
I predict that history will look kindly on the 09 offseason, even if we were pissed at the time.
He's also our only backup CF.
And knowing the way Rowand plays, we need a backup. Interpret how you will.
Aubrey Huff: guilty until proven productive.
Andres Torres: perfectly cromulent.
yeah I have no problems keeping him around
I just don’t see why he’s anything more than a 5th OF. Last year’s sample size was miniscule to say the least – rather give the AB’s to Nate or Bowker.
Jonathan Sanchez. He's left-handed, like Barry Zito. His fastball breaks 80, unlike Zito.
Generally speaking, Torres > Velez in most respects. But he should be a fourth outfielder (in the classic definition of the term), not a platoon with Bowker.
I think Bochy’s trying to fit in playing time for him, since he’s one of the only right-handed (or switch, whatever) bats coming off the bench, and therefore gets heeeeeld back in reserve more often than FBAL does when the main starters are out there.
Aubrey Huff: guilty until proven productive.
