With just three games with which to judge the 2021 season, we look at a few specific points to see if what we observed is real – and will have staying power throughout the season – or whether it will be a mirage, and slip into the Hays (er, haze).



We look at the Pitching, the Defense, the Offense, and the 3-0 start itself.



Second Base: Trades in the Outfield



Teams are checking in on Anthony Santander. So that’s… good? Bad? Other?
