Down to their final out, San Diego forces rubber match

It was a pitcher’s duel until the end. In what has become a regular occurrence for the San Diego Padres, they won it on Gavin Sheets’ two-out, three-run homer. It was a great way to make up for the fact that the Friars hadn’t done a thing to back up starter Michael King’s gem. The […]

Astros Toxic Positivity

This is the part two of my lab on Wednesday, but it is purposefully not a lab. My goal with the labs is to present information and do it in educational and hopefully interesting ways.
