In this text, we see a pattern: Good Person $\rightarrow$ Bad Situation.

To explain this in English, we use the word 'But' or 'However'. These words act like a bridge to show a change in direction.

Look at these examples from the text:

Buxton is great $\rightarrow$ BUT $\rightarrow$ the Twins are losing.
He is playing well $\rightarrow$ HOWEVER $\rightarrow$ the team is not winning.

Simple Rule: Use these words when the second sentence is a surprise or the opposite of the first one.

When we aren't 100% sure about the future, we use might.
