Hello, San Francisco Giants fans. Today’s topic of discussion is quite simple: is Blake Snell’s rough start as a member of the Giants concerning?

The answer is even simpler: nope!

Have a good day, everyone.

OK fine, we can talk a little more. Snell had a tough time on Sunday against his old team, the Tampa Bay Rays. He again struggled with the strike zone, only this time he also gave up a whole ton of hard contact, including a pair of home runs. Through two starts with the Giants, things haven’t been good!

It’s also not concerning. It’s two starts after all. He had no Spring Training, and barely any ramp up time. And let’s not forget how his 2023 season went: in his first nine games he had a 5.40 ERA with nine home runs in 45 innings. In his final 23 games he had a 1.20 ERA with six home runs in 135 innings. The Giants will take that sort of arc.

Snell is none too pleased, however, but that’s what you want out of a competitor.
