Let’s (over)react to the first series!

We as fans crave instant analysis. We devour post-draft grades in whatever sport is picking teenagers or college players as future members of their team, we want a winner or loser in any trade that is made between two teams and on and on. It’s part of our nature, needing to know whether or not we need to be angry at something or if we should rejoice in the result. Usually, here at The Good Phight, we try to steer people away from this type of reactionary analysis. Baseball is a game of sample size, something we should always be reminding ourselves as we watch and even in a Covid-shortened season, we are going to have to let these things play out before any definitive conclusions can be drawn.
