I'd rather be sitting in a ballpark.

I’m not sure if the Cubs Carter Hawkins or the Cards John Mozeliak will slide into the Harry role or Lloyd role, but I know the four-game series at Wrigley is going to be more interesting than it looked to be 10 days ago. The Cubs have bounced back to win the last two games…

Last night I listened to a very unusual conversation about strength of schedule and whether it really mattered in practicality. Is there really much of a difference between two teams with similar rankings? One would think measuring and comparing teams’ strength of schedule would be objective-merely a matter of comparing previous winning percentages. But from…

Back in 2017, Anthony Santander was not a top prospect, but now he’s more than proven his worth. The Braves, however had some idea how good Austin Riley and Ronald Acuna Jr. would be-taken at the AFL Rising Stars game.

I’m not going to dwell on the 40-year thing, but the Baltimore Orioles are making a serious run at the AL East. At 57-35 they have the third best record in all of baseball and are only 1 game behind the Rays. Last season they surprised everyone, but their due date appeared to be 2024…

Stepping back to the summer of 1983-beyond the MLB ASG at Comiskey Park is somewhat painful for me the Cubs fan. I’ve already explained why I’m not talking about 1993 and am holding off on the 2003 season. We have to take each season on its own merits, but goofy baseball fans like me need…

It’s taken me a few hours and miles of walking to try and simmer down after last night’s ignominious start to the second half of the season. I didn’t expect the team to respond favorably to Jed Hoyer and David Ross’s recent pep talks, but I did think all of the usual excuses would be…

If you haven’t noticed, every village, community or town is celebrating some kind of days, weeks or weekend right now-all with the purpose of monetizing the beautiful summer weather. Yesterday I stumbled upon a sidewalk sale, which for the uninformed, it the melding of brick-and-mortar stores and restaurants with outside vendors setting up shop on…

There are probably a half dozen teams that are going to trade top-to middle of the rotation starters before the trade deadline. What the heck are they waiting for, a last push? If you can convince the buyer that it’s in their best interest to have your starter for an additional three starts/wins, you should…

WAR or ASG home run derby, what is it good for? To further quote him, “Absolutely nothing!” The White Sox lone all-star, Luis Robert Jr. launched a 382-foot homer during the derby on Monday, tweaked his calf muscle and was unavailable for the actual game last night. The original plan was for Robert Jr to…

I’ve never hidden my appreciation for Clayton Kershaw admitting that I’ve overlooked some of his failings in the postseason. This article about how he’s participating in the ASG despite being on the IL. When I am lucky enough to attend a game he’s starting I make sure to get there early enough to watch his…
