We’re now a week into the season, which is actually 11.7 percent of the way through the season, which is usually 19 games in. That’s about the typical point in the season when we can start to actually see the beginning of some trends. Of course, this is an odd season, so the people who tend to see the baseball season as similar to the football season actually have a bit more of a point this season. The Royals were in a position to win every game in Detroit, and the difference between 3-4 and 5-2 is much bigger than usual, so if the Royals somehow surprise and are close to a playoff spot at the end (I’m going to go ahead and doubt that it’ll matter), we’ll look back at this first week as some wasted opportunities for wins.
