Major League Baseball is about to enter the postseason, and eleven teams have already qualified for the playoffs. Therefore, just one spot is left. That spot will likely get filled by the Philadelphia Phillies. But the team, San Francisco Giants, which everyone thought would give a tremendous season this year as well, got eliminated.

The Giants entered this season with the highest expectations after they got more than 100 wins last season. But, in Sunday’s game at Oracle Park, after the Giants lost to the Diamondbacks, they got eliminated from the playoffs. Fans of the team were left disappointed by their team’s struggle this season after a mind-blowing last season with 100+ wins.
The tremendous season of the San Francisco Giants led the fans to high expectations
The Giants are left with less than five games this regular season. However, if the team does not win all of them, they will be making history. Not because of something good but by becoming the 7th team in the history of Major League Baseball to give a losing season after a 100-win season. They entered this season with high expectations after winning a franchise-record 107 games in 2021.

On the other hand, after getting the elimination confirmed on Saturday, the Giants’ official Twitter handle posted a heartfelt apology thanking the fans for standing by them in the difficult times.
The Giants that won 107 games last season could not even cross 90 this year, while they lost 79. But the rather heartfelt apology apparently did not get liked even one bit by the SF Giants fans. Consequently, they were disappointed and angry, and they did not hide it at all. They expected much more from their team, but alas, that could not happen this year.
What did the fans say about Giants?
But some of them did not even want to read the apology.
Not reading that but thanks

For those that don't want to read it. "Thanks for all the money you gave us despite this joke of a roster. We made huge profits this year. Larry."

GET. TO. WORK! No more penny pinching, bargain bin shopping! Make some major moves, sign some impact players! This is an extremely important off season. If not successful, it's time to #FireFarhan
