It’s been fairly well-documented that the mythical 40-game mark is an arbitrary and not particularly useful tool for evaluating a season or predicting what will happen in the future.
But with roughly 25 percent of the season in the books, it’s still not a bad time to take stock and see where things stand.

Of the many things I have learned while writing about baseball on the internet, one of the most important (as it pertains to writing, at least) is this: don’t bury the lede. So, here goes. Brandon Day is now the managing editor of Bless You Boys.
For those who have followed the site at any point over the past several years, Brandon needs no introduction. His writing and analysis are top notch, and he has been one of the preeminent voices on the Tigers blog and Twittersphere throughout this far too lengthy rebuild. He has already taken the lead on most things around the site in 2021, and I have no doubt that he, like the Tigers, will make things much more exciting this year and for seasons to come.
