Are the Pirates and Royals for real? Both teams have gotten off to great starts but we've seen it before. We're at nearly 10% of the 2024 season has been played and there are a bunch of things that are happening as predicted. But not everything!
Shohei Ohtani is great as is Juan Soto. The Dodgers are good. So are the Yankees and Braves. But those teams have issues as all teams do. Just think in 3 weeks we will be 25% through the season and perhaps by then the surprise teams will have shown they might hang around and not be the 2023 Pirates.
Injuries continue to play a big part and there's no sign that an increase in injured arms for pitchers are going away. Games have been a little slower, hitting is down and strangely steals are too, But it's SO early.
George Springer will turn 35 this season.
