High expectations??? LOL
A player can be successful 30% of the time at the plate (3 for 10, .300) and in baseball that's considered great.
But you probably expect a player to go 8 for 10 all the time and if not, they are below average hitter.
Same for a team. Unless the team wins 100 games every year and is in the World Series, the team is not worthy of your expectations.
You sir don't know the game of baseball.
