CHICAGO -- The early stages of the regular season are often the most experimental. Perhaps a pitcher made a mechanical change during the offseason and they finally get to make some changes. Maybe they have some new velocity, or a new game plan of how they want to attack hitters.
Not all of these tweaks will work, but that’s what makes them exciting. The first month and change is the wild west. Maybe that new idea was just what a pitcher needed to break out. Maybe it was a terrible idea and you need to revert back.
