I was aware that umpires have to be certified, go through trainings, classes, etc. But did I think it was going to be this intense? Absolutely not. This Reminds me of any scene out of a military movie where they’re going through basic training and everyone … Continue reading Move Over Robotic Strike Zone, The Next Generation of Umpires Are ALREADY Robots

Grading the Mets 3 Black Friday Deals (AND MAX SCHERZER AS I’M WRITING THIS)
We all know the Mets desperately needed to upgrade their offense. It's no surprise to anyone that they were going to be aggressive this offseason after finishing the season ranked 13th in runs scored, 24th in OPS (yes, one rank below the Baltimore Orioles), and 25th in home runs, if that matters to anyone. Eduardo … Continue reading Grading the Mets 3 Black Friday Deals (AND MAX SCHERZER AS I’M WRITING THIS)
Who Won Our Thanksgiving Concessions Draft?
Just before Thanksgiving, the squad got together to hold a Thanksgiving concessions draft where the rules were simple.

I’m Tired Of A World Without a Baseball-Themed Recreational Hangout Activity
Batting cages are not cool. You don’t ask your friends out as 20-somethings by saying ”Hey guys let’s go eat, drink, and take some swings at the local indoor cages!”. You just don’t. Especially because every friend group isn’t made up of solely baseball players. Unless you do something like this. This is sick and … Continue reading I’m Tired Of A World Without a Baseball-Themed Recreational Hangout Activity

Arozarena Wins “Rookie of *His Second* Year” Award and MLB Should Change How They Identify Players
If I could sum up my thoughts in one sentence, it would be this: Randy Arozarena is not a rookie. I get that statistically speaking, he is categorized as a rookie. He had less than 130 at-bats prior to the 2021 campaign. The guy was an ALCS MVP before he won this award, and I … Continue reading Arozarena Wins “Rookie of *His Second* Year” Award and MLB Should Change How They Identify Players

I started this blog this afternoon, and began with this. Title: Mountcastle Builds ALROY Stock By Being a Great Human… The AL Rookie of the Year Award isn’t announced for another week, but just give the damn thing to Ryan Mountcastle.

Spring Training, You Are On The Clock.
There’s an age old debate as to what the worst day of the year is, and there’s such a great pool of answers you could come up with: The first day back to school after winter break, the last day of summer, tax day, the first really cold day of winter. All valuable candidates. But … Continue reading Spring Training, You Are On The Clock.

The fear of them taking you deep, calling their shot, … Continue reading In Honor of Halloweekend, Here’s 6 Hitters That Haunt Us When They Step In The Box!
