The MLB season will most likely happen. Because of the MLBPA’s statement of “we just want to play”, there is plenty of hope that the season WILL happen. But what does that mean, and when and where will the season happen? A 90+ game season is out of the question at this point. The MLBPA…

The Blackout Game Was Special
I know that I’ve written an article on it before, but there were multiple facts that were… wrong. First of all, the league has had several ties for first place. No need to look past the home run heard ’round the world! But anyway, let’s try this again. The AL Central ended in a tie…
Ranking Pitchers Who Have Thrown A Perfect Game
Note: This is only in the Modern Era 21. Philip Humber Could there have been a more obvious choice? He had a career 0.9 WAR! That, and he had a 5.31 career ERA. 20. Dallas Braden It was a nice story of how he threw a perfect game with his grandmother watching, but he did…
If Fielding Didn’t Matter: Jesse Winker
Winker has been one of the best offensive producers for a couple of years now, and while he hasn’t been able to stay completely healthy, he helped his team on offense. Just not on defense. In 2018, Winker slashed .299/.405/.431 with 7 HR in 281 AB. That was good for an OPS+ of 125 in…
The Jose Bautista Punch (Part 2)
I covered part 1 of the Bautista bat flip in this article. One of the most iconic moments of the 2016 season was when Rougned Odor punched Jose Bautista. You see, the Rangers were still mad that Jose Bautista had eliminated them in the postseason, and that he disrespected them. So if Jose Bautista stepped…
If Fielding Didn’t Matter: Nicholas Castellanos
Nicholas Castellanos has long been the worst fielding RF in the game. With the combination of playing lazily and just not knowing the game, Castellanos does it all from horrendous errors to not making a catch that 99.9% of all human beings on earth could catch. But what makes him so bad? Castellanos has long…
What Is A Deal That Would Make Both the Owners and The MLBPA Happy?
As of late, both sides have been going back and forth of deals to resume the season. It’s really a hassle to follow this conversation over and over again: Owners: Can you just cut your salaries a little extra? Players: No. Players: Can you pay us our full salaries? Owners: No. Owners: Alright, NOW will…
Andrew McCutchen’s Take On The Negotiations Between The MLBPA and The Owners
A hilarious clip was released today on the ESPN app that showed Andrew McCutchen and his son acting out the negotiations through the form of juice. It went a little something like this: Andrew McCutchen: I’ll get you some juice. Son: Yay! Yay! Juice! Andrew McCutchen: Alright buddy, here’s your water. Son: No! I want…
A Look Back At The 2015 ALDS Game 5 (Part 1)
One of the most controversial topics in baseball is bat flipping. Should players be allowed to bat flip? Tim Anderson and Jose Baustista say yes, while Rougned Odor and Goose Gossage say no. But in the 2015 ALDS Game 5, Jose Baustista bat flipped. He bat flipped hard. Back in 2015, the Rangers went 88-74….
Should Teams Try To Steal Bases
In 2019, the team with the least SB were the A’s with only 35 SB. Mallex Smith, an individual player, had more SB than the A’s. And while the league average was 82 SB, a lot of teams were below that. Is that a trend just because players are slower, or should teams be stealing…
