Three Batter Minimum: A Good Stadium

I was driving the other day, I do a lot of driving during the week for many reasons, and boring my fiancée with some sort of baseball talk. At one point we were talking about the various professional stadiums we’ve seen a game at together. At some point, I’ll probably start a running list on […]

Three Batter Minimum: The Roar Deafens Again

Turning on my phone, laptop, or television and watching a baseball game is nothing new. It is an act that I do on an almost daily basis all year round. Most times my biggest concern is whether I will be able to watch the whole game I am seeking out while other days it is […]

Three Batter Minimum: Ejecting a Stache

During a recent Liga de Béisbol Profesional Nacional game between Tren del Norte de Real Estelí and Bóer Juan Montes was thrown out at home. For the Tren del Norte star it wasn’t his glorious mustache that ended up being the talk of the game. This time it was his play at home. It was […]

Three Batter Minimum: The Middleton Truth

A recent report has surfaced that Philadelphia Phillies owner John Middleton is asserting that his club lost $2 billion for the 2020 season. If that sounds ridiculous it’s because it is. It’s since been removed from the report signaling that it is false. Or, maybe, there’s some truth to what Middleton said, an owner would […]

Three Batter Minimum: It’s All About That Fandom

Regardless of your thoughts on the roots of Thanksgiving (I personally am against the holiday as it was originally formed but have come to like what it represents in modern society), it is that time of year. In that respect, I figured it was a good time for a more lighthearted article about the teams […]

LMP finals, Hermosillo up 3 games to 1, top 8th, 3-3 game, runners on 1st & 3rd, one of Hermosillo's best hitters up. Yadiel Hernández tries to steal 2nd, thrown out by the pitcher.

Dumb as can be, but I love it. The sort of "action moment" sorely lacking from today's MLB.

Wall St hedge funds have been bailed out so many times since 2008 with taxpayer money that we basically already own them and if we want to troll them out of existence then so be it

The Kansas City T-Bones have become the Kansas City Monarchs. It's a move that strengthens their ties to the community, honors important Kansas City baseball history, and is the rare purely good baseball news item,
