LATEST STORIES FROM 38PITCHES
What I believe.
The humor is flying! Jokes everywhere! Some of them justified, some more than justified, some not so much.
I have zero experience in passing a piece of legislation. I have zero experience in writing a piece of legislation. That matters to me, only if I thought I’d enter and win...
Here’s just one more reason why..
As I have stated, while it’s an incredible honor to have people think I should, and would, be worthy, the hurdles to running for the vacated Senate seat are immense. Then I read something like this, and I pause.

Potential Senate candidacy
While my family is obviously the priority, and 38 Studios is a priority, I do have some interest in the possibility. That being said to get to there, from where I am today, many many things would have to align themselves for that to truly happen. I am not going to comment further on the [...]
YOU can make a difference.
This needs to stop, this needs to not happen, people MUST SPEAK UP!
What a shame, what an embarrassment this entire thing is. If you are someone who believes in this country, believes in the men and women who have given their lives in service of the freedom we so callously throw away...

Best season ever…
I had the honor of pitching in front of Cal Ripken. I got to pitch in front of Craig Counsell when he was at a Gold Glove caliber of play in Arizona. Scott Rolen, Mark Lewis, Mickey Morandini, all of them.
I never pitched in front of a player that had a better defensive season [...]
“Caffeine” drink????
I was made aware of some comments made by Bronson this past week as it related to a “caffeine” drink I recommended to him a few years back.
Here it is, if that drink nails you as a positive, then so would water.
It won’t, and it hasn’t.
FWIW the taste isn’...
Thanks to the military, and their families.
A special tribute dinner event is being planned to recognize military families and pay tribute to Gold Star familiesm and to honor the heroes and victims of 9/11.
This event is NOT political but rather a chance to simply say thank you to people that deserve our thanks.
It will be held...

What it’s like to be traded
I was traded five times during my career - four times as a major league player, only once as a minor leaguer. There is nothing like the first time, and being traded as a minor league player was far different than any of the other times.
I can remember it like it was yesterday. There...
Questions and answers on the David Ortiz news
What was your initial reaction?
Disappointment, more than anything. We all respond with a lot of personal bias, and in players cases these guys are close friends, or enemies and there can be no doubt that taints our response from one to the other. David is a close friend, and my goal...
State of the Sox: Daisuke, Smoltz and the Deadline
THE DAISUKE PROGRAM
–What is your perception of the situation with his throwing program? When you saw his between-starts work in ‘07, did you consider it fascinating, insane, something in between?
Daisuke is no different than any other pitcher I’ve played with from...
Charlie Baker? Nice.
In a day and age when it feels like there is no politician alive you can trust as far as you can throw, it’s exciting as hell to hear this news;
I’ve known Charlie for about 5 years now, and I’ll state right up front I have not dug into his policies, or his agenda, but [...]
July 24, 2004: The Day that Changed Red Sox History
July 24, 2009, marks the fifth anniversary of one of the most famous regular-season games in Red Sox history. A game against the Yankees that featured a brawl between Jason Varitek and Alex Rodriguez - followed by a dramatic ninth-inning walkoff homer by Bill Mueller against Mariano...
Five Questions: What Moves Should the Sox Make?
–Should the Red Sox pursue Roy Halladay, and if so, at what cost?
I think so, but the cost depends on the topic really. Money? Like everyone else it’s not mine, so it’s not an issue. Compensation in players? Certainly not at any cost and the cost would be directly tied to...

Has it really come to this?

The day I became a pro baseball player
Draft Day, 1986 (AKA the last January Draft ever). So there I am, sitting in the hallway of the men’s dorm at Yavapai Junior College. Why you might ask? Because the draft has started, and I have heard I’m potentially getting drafted.
Patience is not a virtue to me. Hell...
