As Opening Day approaches, I find myself cautiously excited. It’ll be nice to see meaningful baseball games, and even while I don’t necessarily agree with the decision to open the ballpark to fans on a limited basis, the fact that it’s allowed is still a sign that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Yet, I found myself not as enthused about the upcoming season.
Part of that is because it’s hard to ignore what’s still going on in the world, part of that is because of what’s going on in MLB in general, and part of that is because this team simply doesn’t inspire a ton of confidence with me.
