**SPOILER ALERT** (nothing specific, but still…)
Random thoughts from the first two weeks of the 2017 MLB season….
- Madison Bumgarner is amazing, and can’t seem to catch a break.
- Big Game James is pitching like his nickname isn’t a joke anymore.
- Daniel Murphy keeps putting to rest the idea that he is a fluke.
- Mike Trout can’t stop being awesome.
- Yoenis Cespedes is by far the most electric player in baseball. He’s so exciting it doubles the disappointment of when he doesn’t come through in a big moment.
- Francisco Lindor is coming in to his own. Let’s see if he can keep it up.
- Everyone is wondering if Jason Heyward’s swing is truly on the mend. Things are looking good so far –
- George Springer’s slugging in the leadoff spot is pure brilliance; kudos to him and Astros manager A.J. Hinch.
- Angels, Reds, and Twins leading their divisions? This is a phenomenon known as “small sample size.”
- Elvis Andrus and his leg kick are doing quite well together.
