One of the problems about writing about the 2020 MLB season — or at least, me writing about the 2020 MLB season — is one of sample size. I tend to be statistically oriented, and a lot of what I do, and enjoy doing, is diving into the numbers and figuring out what they mean, what they say about what has happened, and what they indicate about what will happen going forward.
Its one of the things that has always made writing about the Rangers in the first month or so of the season particularly challenging — what happens over the first few weeks of the season isn’t going to be especially meaningful, given how small a sample size it covers.
