Classic example of shifting expectations. On April 1 I would have taken 72-54 all day long. Would have been thrilled. Some underlying metrics suggested a decent year was in store, but not this. Unfortunately, when you have the best run differential and record in baseball essentially up through the All Star break, and then hit an absolute wall of mediocrity, the narrative changes.

April 1 me...thrilled. Today me...disappointed and expecting the worst. Such as it is.
