Tarik Skubal Adjusts

There are many ways to build a baseball team, and if I had to classify the method Detroit Tigers are employing, I would call it the “homegrown pitching” method. Between Casey Mize, Matt Manning and Tarik Skubal, the hope is that at least one, maybe two or hopefully all three…

4 Minor League Players I’m Watching

I don’t mean watching in a literal sense, because… you know. But I was given a thought exercise by a friend, to try and give four “undervalued” minor league players (two pitchers, two position players). With the caveat that I’m not sure I am entirely clear on what “undervalued” means…

Toronto Blue Jays: Run it Back, please

It’s not the Toronto Blue Jays fault that Major League Baseball placed them in the American League East. Technically, they’re not even the furthest west of the AL East teams. …

Don’t Take the Bait

A word of advice: if you think it’s a good idea to catch a midnight showing of the Mad Max reboot the night before your brother’s wedding, it’s not. Not because the movie is bad, but because you will be unable to sleep for hours afterwards solely off the amount…

Joey Votto Will Not Go Quietly

Joey Votto is 37 years old, which in baseball years means that he’s a fossil from the before times. It’s been a couple years now since he preformed at a high level, though he probably would have been starting caliber last year had we seen a full season. His general…

In Appreciation of: Willie Calhoun’s Improbable Single (and other things)

I have sat down and watched this video dozens of times and I still do not understand how Willie Calhoun not only makes contact with this pitch, but gets on top of it for a single for a go-ahead RBI in the 10th inning versus the Twins. In my generous…

In Appreciation Of: This Jazz Chisholm Jr. Dinger

Generally, I enjoy taking a longer view at players performance or how they can improve but I want to try and take a look at smaller game events that blow me away. My first attempt at this will be this absolute behemoth blast from Jazz Chisholm Jr. Jazz Chisholm's 402-foot home run | 04/10/2021 Statcast measures the projected distance and exit velocity of Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s solo home run off Jacob deGromwww.mlb.com

Second Week: My Annual Jon Gray Update, plus Gerrit Cole and Akil Baddoo

It’s the second week, so now’s the time to overreact to some recent results. Jon Gray will always be my breakout pick. I noticed last year that he started throwing his change-up to nearly at the level he used it his rookie season. The scouting report during the 2013 draft…

With Everyone Else Hurt, Yankees Turn to Voit and Frazier

Yogi Berra isn’t here to say it, but’s déjà vu all over again for the Yankees. Mirroring their injury issues in 2019, the Yankees have so far lost Luis Severino, Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, DJ LeMahieu, Aroldis Chapman, Zack Britton to various ailments and now recently James Paxton along with…

Dylan Bundy Spits Hot Fire

Can you guess how old Dylan Bundy is? I swore he was 29 years old. He’s actually 27 years old! If it felt like years since his debut, it’s because it actually has been eight years since he threw 1 2/3 innings at age 19 for the Baltimore Orioles. …
