Expectations vs reality may be an overdone meme, but the sentiment is true! On today's edition of the Locked On Padres podcast, Javier panics as he realizes he actually has to come up with a segment idea to talk about since there was no game yesterday! He settles on choosing 3 players to talk about that have outperformed, underperformed, and matched expectations based on his pre-season projections! Exciting! But don't worry, you won't have to listen to Javi for the whole thing, as he continues chatting with Aram Leighton about the rookies that have impressed in the early going of this MLB season.
