I woke up on Sunday morning feeling super excited for Nathan Eovaldi’s first start as a member of the Red Sox. I wanted to get some writing done before the game, so I had set my alarm for 6:30 am.
(By the way, I’m currently living in Phoenix, so first pitch for the Red Sox game was at 10:05 a.m. for me – one of the real joys of living out west.)
While I was getting my early-morning work out of the way, all while thinking about watching Eovaldi make his first start, I constantly reminded myself not to set my expectations too high.
