Giants now alone in second place at 15-9.  Dodgers and Red Sox both lost to fall to 16-10 (tied with Oakland).

One minor, tiny, insignificant issue...SF is 3-3 against teams with a .500 or better record.  Dodgers are 6-7, and have by definition played a tougher schedule.

Mick, you are the King of small sample sizes! :)

 Love that Giants are off to great start. And I got to send my Dodger buddy a photo of the standings with Giants on top.  Hey it may only be for a day, but I’ll take it!  If they if finish within 10 games of Dodgers I’ll be happy. And very surprised.  Cause that will mean they’ve had a good year. 

May will be interesting.  Schedule picks up, starting tonight. Giants don’t play Blueheads until May21.  Then they play them something like 7 times in 10 days. 

By end of May we should have a better read.

Turns out Jones would have been available at #12...if the 49ers wanted him.  Which they clearly did not.

Maybe.  Had  Niners sat at 12 and the other 4 got picked, NE may have jumped ahead of them. Or Chicago. Or even New Orleans. What the Niners did by going to three a month ahead of the draft is give themselves plenty of time to determine who they were going to take and put themselves in the position of being able to call their shot knowing the first two would be gone. Yeah they gave up a lot. But if Lance turns out to be all that it was worth it. If he doesn’t and he’s a bust then,  so long Kyle
