The article emphasizes the importance of winning series in a baseball season, highlighting that early-season struggles, such as those experienced by the Braves, represent a small fraction of the total games played. As the Braves prepare to face challenges, Chris Sale's performance is scrutinized; despite some positive underlying metrics, his apparent decline in fastball velocity and pitch effectiveness raises concerns. Going forward, expectations for Sale should be tempered unless noticeable improvements are observed.
Ultimately, he's still been able to miss bats, but we need to lower our expectations for Chris unless we see some of this begins trending the other direction as he gets settled into the year, which isn't out of the realm of possibility.
Good teams win series after series, and a few of those are likely to string together win streaks of 6 to 9 to counteract the rough runs you happen to get on.
