The dos and donts of reacting to a Dodgers sweep of the Giants – The Athletic
Uncategorized

When the Dodgers came into San Francisco, the Giants were in first place. When the Dodgers left San Francisco, the Giants were in third place. If you want to read more words than that, you’re either a glutton for punishment or you have an Eric Karros bobblehead in your garage. Those two sentences should tell you everything you need to know.

But it’s also possible that you need help processing the Giants’ awful weekend. It’s not like there’s ever a good time for a team to have its first three-game losing streak, but this weekend felt especially cruel.

Consider this a self-help pamphlet, then. How should you react to the Giants getting swept by the Dodgers?

We have some do’s and don’ts.

DON’T overreact. Don’t dismiss what the Giants have done through the first third of the season.
