"I just can’t take any more losses" "This team isn’t even watchable anymore" - San Francisco Giants fans witness season slipping away after fifth straight loss

The San Fransico Giants have been one of the top MLB teams of the last decade, and their fans are not accustomed to losing like this. Especially losing like this to the Arizona Diamondbacks.

As fans grapple with the reality of a disappointing season, the San Francisco Giants must look for ways to improve before the trade deadline.

After so many years of winning and going on deep playoff runs, these fans know what a championship team is. The reality of the situation is, when they look at the current team, they don't see those same championship qualities.

Longtime fans hope for a change that they feel is inevitable, but the team may be hesitant. Making drastic changes while in a slump is always risky, as you can let emotions make the moves instead of logic.

If the wrong moves are made during this very delicate time, things will get worse before they get better. However, that might just be what is needed. For the team to make drastic changes that will hurt them in the short-term, but prime them for success in the long run.

The San Francisco Giants only have to look across the bay to see the risks of this method playout for the Oakland Athletics. If they let their stars go, the losses will continue to pile up.

Once fans become despondent, it is hard to get them back with many simply turning away from the team. They'll come back when the situation improves, so teams have to make sure to legitimately improve.

After years of dominance, the party might finally be ending for the Giants.

A five-run loss to a division rival is tough for any fanbase to accept, especially one that is so used to success. The San Francisco Giants' loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks has the potential to be a turning point for the season, in either a positive or negative way.
