On Expectations

The M’s enter May riding high, 2nd in the AL West and neck and neck with the Yankees and Angels. Especially given their injury woes centered around opening day, I’m not sure that April could’ve gone much better. Not only have the M’s fared better than expected, particularly against Cleveland, but a few of the M’s rivals have face-planted in the early going. Minnesota apparently read my “Upside” post and have watched as Lance Lynn has been absolutely awful, sunk by a blizzard of dingers. And then there’s the fact that the M’s themselves have walked the talk that their own front office (and essentially nobody else) put out.
