At Baseball Daily Digest, I argue that the Yankees’ unlimited amount of money isn’t the cause of baseball’s financial inequalities; it is an effect.
Any fan would love to have George Steinbrenner as the owner of his or her favorite team. Steinbrenner clearly has a...

Congratulations to the 2009 World Series champion New York Yankees. It was a great, hard-fought series and they deserve their success, no matter how much money they spent on C.C. Sabathia, Mark Teixiera, and A.J. Burnett. In the end, it was money well spent.
Congratulations to the...

Game Four was a microcosm of the Phillies’ 2009 season. Starter not named Cliff Lee gives up too many runs in too few innings, middle relief does a decent job of keeping the game close, the Phillies catch up, Brad Lidge wraps the game up with a nice bow tie for the opposition...

Four singles, four doubles, a triple, two home runs, and 14 RBI. That’s how productive Ryan Howard was in 39 plate appearances in the NLDS against the Colorado Rockies and in the NLCS against the Los Angeles Dodgers. His performance as offensive juggernaut against the Dodgers...

The top of the Phillies lineup went 1-for-14. One for fourteen.
Aside from Jayson Werth, the Phillies offense couldn’t figure out Andy Pettitte after the second inning, as he kept the Fightins’ left-handed hitters silent and collectively 0-for-12 with seven strikeouts....

World Series Game 3 in Philadelphia will feature a match-up between two southpaws, Cole Hamels and Andy Pettitte. A fair assessment of the pitchers reveals that Hamels has been much better than his statistics have shown and Pettitte has been slightly better, as the two have an xFIP...

The theme of A.J. Burnett’s start was the strikeout, particularly the called third strike with his curveball towards the end of his outing. His last three strikeouts were of the backwards-K variety.

At Baseball Daily Digest, I wonder what we would do if it turns out MLB is just as corrupt as the NBA.
We will still watch, from Game 1 to Game 162, and the post-season. We will talk about the “hot stove” when it’s all done, then we’ll argue about trades that should and should not [...]

It is usually the hitters who become ingrained in our collective memory when it comes to post-season heroics. Cue montages of Reggie Jackson, Carlton Fisk, and Kirk Gibson. Even for the Phillies, Ryan Howard and Carlos Ruiz have been receiving most of the kudos for the deep run into...
