One of our stories of the week is that #redsox Willson Contreras did something last week that only 35 players have done in MLB history. He got tossed from back to back games vs. #Nationals. Another is about the baseball flying further in June than it has since good 'ol…
We can only hope things will go better than they have so far as both the players and owners have submitted silly proposals. A short from our podcast this week. Thanks for watching and check out the entire episode!
From our podcast this week. Gordon ran through the batting averages on all the counts from 0-0 to 3-2. Which one do you think generated the highest batting average?
College baseball may become even more important if MLB owners get their way. Changing draft rules is a big part of the first offer from the owners. The players (MLBPA) laughed it off as they should have. We talk about what it means and what it will lead to. Bunting…
HOFer Nolan Ryan was knowns for his amazing fastball. He also threw a good curveball. But a change-up was not a pitch he threw very often. To signal he wanted to throw one he'd do what hitters would never expect. Catch this exchange with Tim Brown who wrote "Nolan -…

Tim Brown is the author of three baseball books and his latest book "Nolan" The Singular Life of an American Original" goes deeper with the HOF legend than any other. Tim spent time in Alvin, TX, which is Nolan Ryan's home town. There are so many great stories! Thanks for…
We'll talk with Author Tim Brown on our podcast next week about his new book "Nolan". Ryan was so amazing that it gets passed over that he's the only pitcher to have four games with a 100 game score or more. None of the other 13 players did it more…
#whitesox are now in first place in the AL Central and play the #yankees in New York this week. Do they have an actual chance to win the division since the #guardians are a bit shaky? A short from our podcast this week. Check out the entire episode!
From this week's podcast. We discussed Shohei Ohtani leading MLB in both On base plus slugging+ as well as Earned Run Average. Babe Ruth never did that in the same season. Catch the entire episode and thanks for watching!
Shohei Ohtani is on his way to his 5th MVP (in six seasons). He has the lowest ERA and highest OPS+ in the NL - not even HOFer Babe Ruth did that in the same season! We talk about the rash of injuries to stars including Jose Ramirez, Ronald Acuna…
#dodgers are 9-4 in day games compared to #royals 4-15. We talk about games played by MLB teams that take place before 3PM. A short from our podcast this week. Check out the entire episode and thanks for watching!
Maybe it's also because one of the games was rained out and re-scheduled for September when Aaron Judge will be back in the lineup? Without Judge and any real star in the Red Sox lineup (where are you Roman Anthony?) this was the quietest Yankee-Red Sox series in a long…
A short from our podcast this week. With #yankees Aaron Judge on the shelf for 4-6 weeks we wondered if he was becoming as injury prone as #angels Mike Trout. What we found was not what we expected. Check out the entire episode and thanks for watching
It's hard to believe that both Mike Trout and Aaron Judge are 34. How can that be? It seems like Trout has been around much longer - and that's actually the case. We talk about this in our stories of the week along with the latest injury reports, player news,…
There have only been a few since 1990. Even though the Cy Young has been around since the 1950s it used to happen more often. Listen to this short from our podcast this week and thanks for checking us out!
This week's episode focused on run differentials. The AL West has five teams that have trouble scoring runs. The #mets despite their troubles have a better run differential than the #phillies yet are several games behind them. Does run differential matter? Check out this short from our episode this week!
Mark had wondered if a salary cap in MLB would be worth considering since less experienced players would gain earlier in their careers with a higher minimum salary. But it gives up too much for the players and they ones that make the big bucks should do a better job…
We look at run differentials that reveal the good teams (Braves, Dodgers, Yankees, Brewers), and all the other teams. The AL is weaker this season and that's no surprise. Should #brewers trade for Tarik Skubal? Mark and Gordon don't see eye-to-eye on this one. Will #dodgers Shohei win the NL…
Matt Olson was excellent in his time with Oakland. He's been even better as a Brave. We talked about what it would take for Olson to put himself into position to be a HOFer. From our podcast this week. Check out the entire episode!
Even if 2-time and reigning Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal comes back faster than expected it may already be too late for the Detroit #tigers. They are not the only big-time disappointment this season as we hit the 1/3 mark. Check out this short from our podcast this week and…
We all know Mike Trout is a future HOFer. He's had a good start to the 2026 season although is far from the other-worldly levels he displayed earlier in his career. Will he stay healthy this year? Would some team needing a power bat want to trade for him? A…
Our top stories of the week are revealed as are the prospects for players and @MLB teams after 1/3 of 2026 season has been played. Shohei of course leads the pack given that he pitches (amazingly) AND hits amazingly. #tigers are sinking as are #mets #redsox & #astros. What's up…
