PORT ST. LUCIE — We’re about to neglect how lengthy the baseball season is. We are going to start to do this this week, once we overreact to the opener. And observe that with daring statements concerning the first week or the primary month.

“You learn over time in baseball, it’s a very, very long season,” David Stearns mentioned. “We tell ourselves that all the time, and then as you go through it, you’re regularly reminded that there are seasons within seasons, and that no two-, three-, four-, five-week stretch is truly telling you the whole story about your team.”
