Good morning, baseball fans! Today, the San Francisco Giants get the honor of hosting the World Baseball Classic’s Team USA for an exhibition game! So let’s take a look at what we can expect for that. Today’s game will start at 12:05 p.m. PT and it will air nationally on ESPN, with local radio coverage […]
The Orioles have generally received positive marks for their offseason with one common caveat—Baltimore failed to sign a true frontline starting pitcher. The team traded for Shane Baz, reunited with former Opening Day starter Zach Eflin, and inked the topic of today’s conversation to a one-year, $18.5 million deal. Chris Bassitt figures to join a […]
Results On the night of April 17, 2009, I was driving back home from a late shift at Walmart (my Retail Era). Though initially hearing from John Gordon that the hometown boys were down big, a comeback began brewing! Just as I pulled my 1992 Ford F-150 into the driveway, Jason Kubel completed the claw-back—and […]
Jaylon Thompson wrote about Kris Bubic’s Spring Training debut. On Sunday, Bubic stepped onto the pitcher’s mound again. Bubic pitched two innings against the Milwaukee Brewers at Surprise Stadium. He allowed four hits and one run but registered three strikeouts. Bubic threw 31 pitches in the start. He averaged 91.9 mph with his fastball and […]
Leam Richardson joined STAR for an excellent Q&A on Monday night at the SCL. I found it a fascinating and revealing evening, which taught us plenty about the Royals’ new-ish gaffer, so it’s worth diving into a little deeper. First and foremost, hats off to STAR for putting on the event. You won’t get better […]
George Springer is a 36-year-old, right-handed hitting, DH/OF, who signed a six-year contract with the Jays back in 2021, for $150 million, so an average of $25 million a year. He’s now played (counting on his fingers), five of those six years. He seems like just a great guy. Always seems happy. Over those five […]

If you’re ready to analyze performance and results, so am I. The first 10 games of Spring Training are a really bad barometer for that, and moreso an exercise in futility. So, until we can really dig into the fun stuff, I figured it would be a good time to share some thoughts on how […]
On Tuesday, Jacob Misiorowski is set to make his spring debut. With the departure of Freddy Peralta, he is arguably the highlight of the Brewers’ rotation now. Brandon Woodruff is still the longest-tenured Brewer, but Misiorowski is being pushed as one of the new faces of the franchise. As he enters his second season, here […]

Good morning, Camden Chatters. The Orioles, after their first day off, are back in action this afternoon for an exhibition game against Team Netherlands, tuning up for the World Baseball Classic. The Netherlands roster includes notable current and former big leaguers Xander Bogaerts, Ozzie Albies, Jurickson Profar, Ceddanne Rafaela, and Didi Gregorius, along with former […]
Dave DeBusscherre is an underappreciated great of the game. Born in 1940 in Detroit, DeBusscherre was a talented basketball and baseball player. He attended the University of Detroit (now Detroit Mercy). Like Danny Ainge and Duke legend Dick Groat, DeBusscherre played professionally in both sports. Amazingly, in 1964-65, at the tender age of 24, he […]
The Pittsburgh Pirates are a surprising 9-2 in this year’s Spring Training Grapefruit League following yesterday’s 4-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. They are currently on a five-game win streak and have the best record in all of Spring Training. And while it’s ceratinly way early, and the real games haven’t even started yet, […]

On Monday, the Braves were able to earn another Spring Training victory over the Detroit Tigers. It was a game where the starting pitching depth of the Braves was on full display, as Bryce Elder, Joey Wentz, and Owen Murphy all threw multiple innings. While it is likely unwise to expect big things from any […]

The Cincinnati Reds took on the Chicago Cubs for the first time this spring on Monday afternoon, and when the dust settled the back of just about every hitter’s baseball card looked as rosy as could be. Chief among the batting culprits on the day was one Matt McLain, he of the .220/.300/.343 line in […]
We’re about halfway through spring training, and if you’ve read anything I’ve written before, you know I’m not in the business of overreacting to one Grapefruit League box score. One game means nothing. Two games mean nothing. Even a week can be misleading. But at some point, the sample size stops whispering and starts talking. […]
