The playoffs are nearly upon us for baseball. After 162 grueling contests, the best teams finally get to duke it out for the World Series trophy. I say best, but really I should say hottest. Like having an unbeatable goalie in hockey, momentum entering the postseason is one of the most dangerous tools in baseball.… Continue reading Two Streaks In Stereo

The Dodgers Frighten Me
This season for the Los Angeles Dodgers has been magical. Every move they’ve made has come up aces. Their late inning heroics are unparalleled in recent times. They are a frightening team to see on your upcoming schedule. The Dodgers could very well be the first team since the 2001 Mariners to break the 110… Continue reading The Dodgers Frighten Me
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
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 Cody Bellinger Power Trip
Aaron Judge has been the headline stealer among rookies this season. The Yankees have surged into first place in the AL East, and the rookie slugger has been a vital cog. His tape measure home runs are the stuff that will become legend to our grandchildren. Meanwhile though on the West Coast, there is a… Continue reading The Cody Bellinger Power Trip
Who Is The Next Mr. October?
The playoffs are nearly upon us. MLB’s second season will get underway over the next few days, with the Wild Card games and the Divisional Series shortly thereafter. Dreams will be dashed. Legends will be made. But who will step up when their club needs them the most? Some years it has been the usual… Continue reading Who Is The Next Mr. October?
National League Wild Card Tightening Up
We have barely a month of regular season baseball left. Normally we’d have several division races to look forward to in September. Outside of the AL East, this year isn’t producing that much divisional drama. Instead, as intended when the second Wild Card was implemented, the Wild Card races in each league are ramped up… Continue reading National League Wild Card Tightening Up
Dodgers Busy At The Deadline
The MLB trade deadline came and went with a moderate amount of movement. No seismic shifts took place across the league, but plenty of worthwhile moves were made. The Los Angeles Dodgers were one team who had a interestingly busy afternoon. From moves they made to ones they didn’t, the team proved that even with… Continue reading Dodgers Busy At The Deadline
2016 Breakout Candidates: National League
The American League has already got its due, now the National League takes the stage. The Senior Circuit has a different brand of baseball than its DH-possessing counterparts, but they are no different when it comes to having players break out. Constant in game maneuvering makes roster construction much more important in the National League,… Continue reading 2016 Breakout Candidates: National League
Dodgers Youngsters Will Be The Difference
It has been a rather tumultuous offseason for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Following a brutal NLDS loss to the Mets, Los Angeles knew they had many a free agent agenda to attend to. None was bigger than bringing back Zack Greinke to solidify the rotation. However, that task was not completed as Greinke left Chavez… Continue reading Dodgers Youngsters Will Be The Difference
