The San Francisco Giants' first bullpen game of the 2025 season has drawn significant backlash from fans, who prefer traditional gameplay. History shows that fans have disliked the strategy for years, as illustrated by past negative reactions. Despite demonstrated effectiveness, many fans reject modern tactics like bullpen games, favoring conventional approaches. Emails from fans reflect deep emotional connections to the team and a strong aversion to changes in strategy, leading to passionate expressions of dissent regarding the Giants' current methodology.
One of the only things the fan base has cared about the past 10 years is the franchise's decision to employ bullpen games from time to time. They don't like it.
Even if it works, Giants fans prefer the game be played the old-fashioned way.
My first game was a sunny afternoon at Candlestick Park when I was 6. I love the Giants more than I love my kids and my ex-wife.
I'm sure Buster Posey is trying his best, but I have serious concerns now that they're having to cut corners with this opener nonsense.
