Baseball Will Surprise You — 5/20/13
A true and old expression, paraphrased, is that you never know what you might see when you go to the ballpark. A similar old expression is that whenever you go to the ballpark you’ll see something you’ve never seen before. Taken completely literally, this is true — every single pitch, every single swing, every single ball in play, every single act, specifically, is unprecedented...
"Controlling the Game" and the Cleveland Pitching Staff
I was listening to the Tribe game on Saturday while driving home when Zach McAllister pitched into a jam in the third inning. McAllister ‘got out of the jam’ when Jesus Montero, the runner on first, was picked off by Yan Gomes and then Endy Chavez and Dustin Ackley flew out, after which Hamilton praised McAllister on “doing a great job of getting out of the jam.” ...
Seattle Mariners Love ‘em & Hate ‘em – May 17th edition
The good, the bad, the ugly
The Seattle Mariners seem to have woken up from their first month slumber. They currently sit in 2nd place in the AL West and are 1 game below .500 on the season after winning 5 of their last 6 series and splitting the 7th series with Pittsburgh.

Time for an Endy Reunion?
News broke yesterday that Endy Chavez was released by the Kansas City Royals, and it made me wonder if the Mets might consider adding him to the mix.
It kind of goes against everything this team represents. We are in a youth movement right now. Although Chavez holds a special place in our hearts for one of the best catches we’ve ever seen a Met make, I think it’s just not the...
Grading the Phillies' Offseason Signings and Acquisitions
With four days remaining until pitchers and catchers and catchers report to Clearwater and one week until the full team reports, it appears the Phillies are done signing mediocre infielders and outfielders that don't get on base.

Familiar faces could haunt Rangers
Welcome to the game the Texas Rangers didn't want to play, against the opponent from hell.
It's not that the Baltimore Orioles are the best team in the American League. They're not. They won 93 games and finished second in their division, just like the Rangers.
But they are a frightening adversary in the inaugural American League wild-card game for two reasons: They...
