I mentioned that about baseball in general not long ago regarding teams in the playoff chase, many felt it had to do with external factors.

I completely forgot that some teams might still have restrictive covid protocols more stringent than some.

I think the covid, a lot of non competitive teams, people probably still not back economically is hurting things.

21 straight games decided by 4 runs or less, most since 1980. Pirates have been playing better that's for sure, okay, more competitive
