Spring Training games start Sunday. Wow. Even with all the drama in the world since then, it almost seems like just last month when the Astros played their last game in 2020. (losing game seven of the ALCS) It was their fourth straight trip to the American League Championship Series.
If all you care about in a baseball game is who wins, then Spring Training is boring. The games don’t count, and it’s a well known fact that success in Spring Training has no relationship to success in the regular season. And that’s also true for individual performances as well.
