The MLB announced a 60-game 2020 season and baseball purists are petrified. A friend of mine put his foot down and insisted, "if anyone breaks Lajoie's record it doesn't count". He was referring, of course, to Nap Lajoie's all-time-high single season batting average of .426 back in 1901. Here's my hot take - a 60-game season won't produce the crazy, ridiculous stats … [Read more...] about MLB 2020 League Leaders in Batting Average, Home Runs, ERA – Hitting .400 Plus More
What Happened to Bryce Harper?
When I say "Bryce Harper", what comes to mind? 2010 Golden Spikes award winner? 2012 NL Rookie of the Year? 2015 NL MVP winner? 6-time All-Star? Not these days.

Alex Bregman Has More Patience Than You
Alex Bregman - the 26-year-old cheater … I mean third baseman - had a career year for the Houston Astros in 2019.

Bregman is a … [Read more...] about Alex Bregman Has More Patience Than You

We make such a big deal about young talent in baseball. Watching tomorrow's stars is exciting, right? Fans love young talent because it gives them hope for the future. Teams love young talent because those players are still on small rookie deals and are an incredible value.

Nearly all MLB handicapping begins with evaluating the starting pitching matchup. How hot is the pitcher? How does the opposition hit against pitchers of his handedness?
