The 2022 San Francisco Giants were the epitome of mediocre. They finished exactly at .500 for the first time in franchise history at 81-81. They went 44-37 at Oracle Park and 37-44 on the road. They were 7-7 in extra innings and 10-10 in interleague play. There's something poetic there, kind of sort of right? They never looked like a particularly good team except in the two months they played consistently well, in April and September. From May - August they were a chore to watch. They played a lot of bad defense. The bullpen couldn't hold leads or keep close games close. The offense hit way less home runs and couldn't really plate runners by stringing rallies together. The rotation turned out to be pretty okay, but it was top heavy. Logan Webb, Carlos Rodon, and Alex Cobb formed a strong trio atop the rotation, especially once Cobb settled in and stayed healthy. The backend of the rotation was a mess however. Alex Wood wasn't very good this year and then he got injured.
