Many of you will likely remember Tim Blackwell, one of the typical “good field, no hit” catchers of the era. Blackwell usually sported a walrus mustache; that’s how I remember him. But as you can see in the photo at the top of this post, he wore a beard for a while as a Cub. […]

This winter, former Phillie Fernando Valenzuela will be considered for the Hall of Fame by the Contemporary Era committee. Of course, few people call him “former Phillie Fernando Valenzuela”, even though it’s technically an accurate description. He spent just a single year in Philadelphia, and it wasn’t a terribly exceptional one. Still, should he be […]

The highlight of Tyrone Taylor’s season was an absurd diving catch in centerfield, one where he ranged nearly 100 feet from right-center to left-center before going into a full extension dive to make the catch. Statcast inferred a 45% catch probability on that play, by I’m slamming the under on that. That play was also […]

What a week 9. With some massive upsets (congratulations to the Steelers, Cardinals, Vikings, and *checks notes* Panthers), the top of the NFL power rankings saw plenty of movement this week. The playoffs are fast approaching as we get into the heart of November, and teams like the Ravens, Jaguars (I guess), and Steelers are […]

The Rangers fall to 0-6-1 at MSG with five home shutouts—a baffling collapse that’s testing patience, perspective, and logic.

In Today’s Links: prepare yourselves for an all-important divisional match-up between our Seattle Seahawks and their Arizona Cardinals. The look and dynamic of this Cardinals team contrasts somewhat from the one our squad faced off against but moments ago. Jacoby Brissett has shown in but a small sample that he is more than capable of […]

The St. Louis Cardinals are expected to have some activity this offseason, a welcoming change from the dormant winter of last year when they invested a whopping $2 million into the major league roster. However, that activity will likely take the team in the opposite direction of contention as Chaim Bloom puts the foundation on […]

It’s Sunday during the MLB offseason and that makes it feel like this question already has an answer. There are no MLB games between now and when spring training begins in February. Even those games don’t really mean much, so the real thing begins in late March if you want to pick nits. That means […]

A couple of weeks ago, I asked who are the most hateable teams from a Braves fan perspective. The Phillies and Mets are run away favorites. So much so that they have already advanced in the bracket.

There’s been plenty of stuff happening around baseball over the weekend.

Snow. Potential for lots of snow, apparently. Stay safe out there in the coming days, folks, if the storm doesn’t peter out. That first big snow blitz of the year always seems to make some drivers forget how to do anything, so you have to be a little extra careful. I’m not sure I actually see this sentiment out there that much: Super popular for people to say Kazuma Okamoto > Munetaka Murakami right now. I don't agree. 1. Murakami has age on his side 2. Murakami clearly has elite...
