It’s been a great week in baseball. Every team has at least a few wins and it’s starting to become visible which teams are actually surpassing expectations as opposed to the teams that just had surprising starts. Unfortunately for some, it’s also becoming clear which teams with high expectations are falling apart. Luckily for some, […]
