Success in any sport is largely dominated by momentum. That was the storyline that came out of the ALCS as the Houston Astros won three in a row to complete a comeback series win over the Boston Red Sox.
Prior to the beginning of the season, the Yankees were projected to be one of the best teams in baseball. Similar to the past few years, they were overhyped and fell to the Boston Red Sox in the American League Wild Card Game.
The St. Louis Cardinals were a team that largely underwhelmed this season. However, they got hot in mid-September and propelled themselves into a Wild Card berth with a 17-game winning streak.
The Washington Nationals had an extremely disappointing season, two years removed from winning their first World Series. There were expectations that they would be right back in the running to contend for the National League East title, but the opposite happened.
The Cubs entered the season with a decent chance of making the playoffs but an even better chance of a collapse. The wrong outcome came to fruition.
On the surface, the Tampa Bay Rays appear to have failed in 2021. A lot of old-school baseball minds have been pumping their fists and making sure to let the world know that “nerds” don’t win baseball games.
The Cleveland Indians were 80-82 this season. It was the first time they have been under .500 since 2012. Let’s take a look back at how 2021 went down for the Indians.
The San Diego Padres entered 2021 with astronomically high expectations, and rightfully so. The team entered the season with rising superstar Fernando Tatis Jr., complemented by established veterans like Manny Machado, Tommy Pham and Yu Darvish.
The Miami Marlins wound up having a disappointing 2021 season after making the expanded 2020 postseason. The hitting was the biggest fallout, while the pitching was pretty solid.
After finishing with the worst record in the majors in 2019 and the third-worst last year, the Detroit Tigers drastically improved in 2021. Behind controversial new managerial hire A.J. Hinch, the Tigers finished at 77-85 after losing 114 games in 2019.
The Colorado Rockies had an interesting season. There were fun moments, but fans and players alike also endured plenty of heartbreak. From blown saves to a shocking lack of moves at the trade deadline, 2021 offers a lot for the Rockies to learn from.
The New York Mets entered the 2021 season with heightened expectations. Steve Cohen came in as the team’s new owner and immediately made an impact. He traded for Francisco Lindor and locked him up. However, the season would end as the last five seasons have ended: without a playoff berth.
