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...
So far in 2026, the Washington Nationals offense has been among the league’s best. They are getting production from throughout the lineup, and have a good combination of pure hitting and power. However, they will face their toughest test yet when they square off with Pirates ace Paul Skenes. While Skenes does not have the […]

The Arizona Diamondbacks are on a frustrating path. After a surprise trip to the World Series in 2023, they have been unable to recreate the magic. They won 89 games in 2024, which was good for third place in the NL West. It was also the number of wins needed to capture a wild card, […]
Sunday was the end of an awful weekend for the Yankees, who left their first series in Tropicana Field since 2024 winless. It might have been their worst series in St. Pete since the memorable sweep just before the 2016 Trade Deadline that finally convinced Hal Steinbrenner to give up on that year and approve […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
