The latest kerfuffle in baseball involves the suggestion that MLB could allow corporate sponsorships of teams, and those sponsors would be allowed to place logos on uniforms. While the idea most certainly has some appeal for the Emperor of the Dark Force, Bud Selig, it sounds like a horrible idea to most rationale people. Would […]

Apparently, Skip’s generosity brings all the stars to the yard (or the church in this case). The host of the charity event “STARS 4 Baby Reesa” worked with some St Louis and Mizzou sports favorites and an incredible team of volunteers from Sunrise UMC to create a miracle. While the quick takeaway from the charity […]

Joe Kelly has a pretty good sinking fastball, and it’s helped him hold down a 2.70 ERA through his first 6 big league starts. Little do people realize that Kelly perfected his sinker at altitude. No, we’re not talking about pitching in Colorado with baseballs from a humidor. Think just a bit higher. That’s right. […]

Several weeks ago I posted information about Skip Schumaker’s upcoming charity event to benefit Reesa Stutzman (original post here). Some relevant information has since become available, and […]

Fans at the All-Star Game festivities in Kansas City had an opportunity of a lifetime. AL Home Run Derby captain Robinson Cano opted not to pick the Royals’ DH Billy Butler for his team. For reasons Cano does not necessarily have to fully explain, he instead chose Prince Fielder, Jose Bautista, and Mark Trumbo. Naturally, […]

In the “Breaking Bad” series, I attempt to break down raw data about a specific player to try and understand or maybe explain their relative level of success. Since Joe Kelly has 6 starts at the Major League level under his belt, now seems like a great time to analyze Joe’s body of work for […]

While some see Matt Carpenter getting the start at 2nd base last night as just a way to get him some at-bats, I see something else. I see the seemingly innocuous occurrence as a harbinger of something in the works. How else might one explain the sudden need to get Matt some playing time? After […]
