Baseball Could Use an Election Night for the BWAA Awards and Other Thoughts

But could the award season be more exciting if they had their own election night before the playoffs began where we could watch the returns for the award votes coming in.

Baseball Needs A Villain Like The Astros
November 06, 2023 04:18 - 29 minutes - 26.9 MBBaseball, like any entertainment medium, needs heroes to be sure but they also need villians. Maybe the 2023 World Series lacked a team for everyone to root against. And in so many ways, vitriol towards the Astros and Houston's subsequent success after the 2017 World Series provides a common enemy for so many fans. In other words, maybe the Astros cheating in 2017 was good for the game! Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Jase Medical Get $20 off these lifesaving antibiotics with Ja...

Texas Rangers Take Their Winning Show On The Road Again
October 31, 2023 07:00 - 29 minutes - 27.3 MBWho needs home field advantage? The Rangers just can not lose on the road. They raised their October road winning streak to 9 games against no losses. Jon Gray came out of the bullpen to be the big winner in Texas' 3-1 win over Arizona. Aroldis Chapman did everything in his power to cough up the lead. That is what he does. But the Rangers defense bailed him out. A confusing strike zone in the ninth was not the difference in the game, but showed the need for a unified Robo Ump Strike Zone. ...
Merrill Kelly Knots Up The World Series In Game 2
October 31, 2023 06:20 - 30 minutes - 27.9 MBThe World Series will not be a sweep. The Diamondbacks won their first ever road playoff game and they did so by doing what they didn't do the previous 4 attempts: They tacked on runs and pulled away. Also Merrill Kelly went 7 innings, the longest World Series start of the decade. Good work by Lovullo and the Diamondbacks coaching staff to manage to the game rather than the spreadsheet. Maybe a team in the future will make developing pitchers who go deep part of their rebuilding plan. A no...

The Diamondbacks Narrowly Avoid Disaster and the Astros Are Back
October 20, 2023 07:00 - 29 minutes - 27.3 MBJust because a bad decision did not blow up in your face does not make it a smart decision. The decision to lift Brandon Pfaadt while he was pitching the game of his life and knowing that Game 4 was planned to be a bullpen game was indefensible. And it led directly to the Phillies taking a late lead in Arizona. The Diamondbacks rallied to tie and ultimately win, but for the second straight game, Arizona had a quick hook. The Snakes should consider themselves lucky and manage a little more t...

The Diamondbacks are marching on, which must be maddening for Paul Goldschmidt. Bryce Harper came up huge and the defending NL Champs are looking kind of unstoppable.

Baltimore better hope that the prospects they hoarded will all come through for them or else their stagnancy in the trade deadline will haunt them for a decade.

October 05, 2023 18:00 - 31 minutes - 29.3 MBThe Wild Card Series did not take long, did it?
