One of the lessons that most of us forget, year after year, is that a baseball season is 162 games long. We know this, and yet nearly all of us are pretty quick to panic about things about 10 or 20, or even 30 games, and more often than not things have a way of sorting themselves out.
That didn’t happen for the Blue Jays in the standings this season of course, but for a few players that had awful starts to the season, they’ve managed to turn things around. Devon Travis struggled badly enough that he was demoted to Triple-A to get things back on track (and also for roster convenience), and he’s done just that since returning to the big leagues.
