SF Giants cap spring with MLB-best 21st win vs. Tigers. Does it matter?
Briefly

In his first spring training as the Giants' manager, Bob Melvin expressed frustration over the team's slow start, insisting on the importance of winning the games. However, the Giants finished strong with a positive result against the Tigers, achieving their 21st handshake postgame. Pitcher Jordan Hicks highlighted the team's good energy and progress, noting that while spring records don't directly correlate with regular season success, having a good spring boosts morale and lays the foundation for the season ahead.
Not long into his first spring training as the Giants' new manager, Bob Melvin was mad. Even though the games didn't count, his team had played six of them and had yet to enjoy a postgame handshake line. He wanted to win.
I feel like we're making a lot of good progress and moving in the right direction. I feel like the energy is there. There's something to be excited about in here. We've got playoff energy.
It's never a bad thing to win some games going forward. Especially (because) we have some new guys here, we have a little different style we're trying to play.
