The Cubs Are Coming

Not three weeks ago, I said on this very platform that the National League division races were sewn up.  Fast forward an All-Star Break and 10 or so games later and I am already backpedaling.  That is because while the Dodgers and Nationals still hold double digit leads in their respective divisions, the Brewers have… Continue reading The Cubs Are Coming

Yu Darvish Is The Perfect Kershaw Insurance

I’m not going to lie.  I had a brief draft of this last Thursday.  But as time wore on, I felt the Dodgers’ grasp on Yu Darvish slip away.  In fact, I actually deleted that draft at about 3:58 PM on this trade deadline day.  But then a tweet came across my bow making the… Continue reading Yu Darvish Is The Perfect Kershaw Insurance

Where Will Yu Darvish Be Traded?

Several contending teams are looking to bolster their rotation as the 2017 MLB Trade Deadline nears. With around 15 franchises firmly entrenched in playoff mode and others looking to sell, it is quite clear which team has which role this summer. One of the teams that became an unexpected seller is the Texas Rangers. Texas… Continue reading Where Will Yu Darvish Be Traded?

The Bronx Pitching Crisis

The New York Yankees are a fun topic again because of Aaron Judge.  All that fun goes out the window though if the Bronx Bombers aren’t able to make the postseason.  They can slug their way to victories right now, but come October that will be an increasingly tough proposition.  Brian Cashman fired his first… Continue reading The Bronx Pitching Crisis

Playing For Second In The NL

We are in the middle of the All-Star Break right now.  I should really be enjoying the festivities.  The Home Run Derby is always a good show.  The game itself didn’t go as I wanted (Thanks, Wade Davis), but it was still a good display of pitching prowess.  Nevertheless, if you know me in any… Continue reading Playing For Second In The NL

The Chicago Cubs Only Have One Player In The All-Star Game – And That’s Okay!

What a difference a year makes. During the 2016 season, the Chicago Cubs sent seven players to the MLB All-Star Game. The list included five starters in Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant, Dexter Fowler, Addison Russell, and Ben Zobrist, and two pitchers in Jon Lester and Jake Arrieta. Of course, on that moment the Cubs were… Continue reading The Chicago Cubs Only Have One Player In The All-Star Game – And That’s Okay!

The National League Will Break Their Losing Streak

The MLB All-Star Game is just a week away.  The symbolic midpoint of the baseball season gives teams a chance to breathe and stars to shine.  While the event before the Mid-Summer Classic, the Home Run Derby, arguably has more juice than the game itself, the All-Star Game still is supposed to matter.  However, home… Continue reading The National League Will Break Their Losing Streak

Three Players Everyone Would Love To See In The 2017 Home Run Derby

Let’s admit it: the Home Run Derby has to be one of the best events in any of the All-Star festivities in the four major leagues. Similar to the Slam Dunk Competition in the NBA, the Derby features highlights in every single minute. However, not everything can be perfect. If the Slam Dunk competition does… Continue reading Three Players Everyone Would Love To See In The 2017 Home Run Derby
