.500 Is The Key To Success


Eric

Recommended Posts

So far this April, the Angels have been flirting with a .500 record the latest into the season than they have in the past few seasons. If we had polled the board in those seasons what everyone had wished for in April, a .500 April record would top the list.

 

Remember, the season cannot be won in April, but it CAN be lost in that month, a lesson that has been painfully taught over the past few seasons. As long as a team does not drop deep below a .500 record, they should remain within shooting distance of the leaders.

 

As of this moment, the Angels are 1 game below .500, despite the devastating loses the Angels have endured so far this season. While the Angels have lost a few of their key performers (or had others that simply have not seemed to show up yet), they are still flirting with that simplest of goals, the .500.

 

All teams will get hot and cold throughout the season, the key is to at least remain lukewarm until they heat up. .500 is lukewarm.

 

This does not, however, mean that a team that sits at .500 is not without its obvious flaws and doesn't have its share of setbacks. Far from it. In fact, it's usual that a team that sits on a .500 record is suffering from their fair share of those.

 

The key, however, is to recognize those flaws and setbacks and to rectify them as early in the season as possible in order to be able to move forward throughout the rest of the season more improved than they started.

 

Remember, a team doesn't need to be hot in April, they just need to not be cold, and this season, at least so far, the Angels are finally not cold in April. A fact that may be little comfort to those that wish the Angels to be in first place from start to finish during the season, but one in which most successful teams understand.

 

Stay afloat at .500, get on a little hot streak, and viola, suddenly the Angels are contending for the division lead.
