Monday Quickie - Sweep

 Look you wear those terrible Milwaukee City Connects bad things are going to happen.   After a slow start James Wood is HOT batting .500 (Yes .500) with 4 homers and 3 doubles in the last 7 games. His complete turnaround along with streaky CJ staying on a hot streak and Curtis Mead being this weeks Joey Weimer has kept the offense moving despite everybody else being pretty mediocre.  Could this be real?  Kind of! Like James Wood IS really good. CJ Abrams has this in h...

Is the ABS good or bad? Two writers, two arguments

It’s been a few weeks since the start of the 2026 MLB season, and therefore it has been a few weeks since the Automatic Ball-Strike, or ABS, system kicked off in regular season games. It’s also been enough time to develop an opinion on it. And whenever there are opinions, there are arguments. Obviously, ABS […]

It’s time for a significant Royals lineup switcheroo

There are a lot of things that you can’t control in baseball. Pitchers can’t control where a batter hits a ball, or even if they swing at all. Batters can’t really control where they hit the ball. And neither party can perfectly place or avoid the defense for any given hit. A lot of baseball […]

Photos of the week: 4.6.2026

This week’s column showcases baseball photos from Margo and me! On Tuesday, Margo covered the team’s 5-2 win over Missouri State, and I was there for the 1-0 loss to South Carolina on Friday. Here are the photos of the week! I’m not normally a huge fan of wide shots in baseball unless it’s an […]

Max Clark starts hot in Toledo as the Tigers 2025 draft picks debut

The Detroit Tigers might have the deepst group of position player prospects the organization has ever amassed at one time in the farm system. Certainly the farm years of the ‘84 Tigers teams may remain the best cluster of Tigers’ homegrown players to ever develop into the core of a team, but from Kevin McGonigle, […]

Cincinnati’s reworked outfield isn’t working

It is not as if the Cincinnati Reds didn’t realize their outfield needed an overhaul. Take, for instance, what they tried using on July 29th, 2025 on the eve of last season’s trade deadline. Gavin Lux got the start in LF while hitting leadoff against his former club, the Los Angeles Dodgers. Usual RF Austin […]

2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 15

Reminder: I’m on vacation all this week and will be a little briefer than usual and one or more pieces could be delayed. Thanks for your patience. Now that one looked like fun. In my head, come-from-behind victories reach almost mythic proportions. The Sandberg Game is the prototype. To be fair, I had to look […]

Podcast: Your first place Orioles…?

In last week’s episode of the podcast, there wasn’t much to be happy about with the Orioles since they were coming off a 1-5 week. They may not have entirely chased the concerns away from everyone’s minds by flipping that around and going 5-1 since that time, but it’s an awfully nice start, and thanks […]

What heuristic should the Braves use for ABS challenges?

This season couldn’t have started much better for the Braves, at least to date.
