Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Giants fans and fans across the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The 2026 season has been full of bad news for the San Francisco Giants and their fans. And if you\u2019re an optimist who sees a light at the end of the tunnel, well \u2026 that light will be dimmed very quickly, and not even because of anything the Giants do.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Yes, baseball is headed for a lockout, and while the last one was short, everything we\u2019ve heard going into this one suggest it will be very long. The Los Angeles Dodgers\u2019 spending and dominance and the altered landscape of regional sports networks and streaming platforms are large factors, and it seems like both sides will get bloody arguing over whether or not a salary cap should be introduced.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">It will be ugly. You\u2019ll get sick of hearing about it. I\u2019ll get sick of writing about it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">But as long as it\u2019s ugly, you might as well take a chance to be right, right? So give us your predictions as to how much baseball we are deprived of while watching billionaires argue with their (mostly) well-compensated employees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB.
