2012 MLB Predictions
Posted on 2 Apr 2012 by Christopher Rowe.
More than ever, it seems anyone's guess about who will be winners and losers for the upcoming 2012 MLB season. Injuries, weather, schedules, surprise prospects, new stadium effects on statistics, El Nino or barometric pressure indices all have an effect upon whether it becomes a year for pitchers, hitters, baserunners or mascotts. What is certain is that baseball still boasts the longest, most...

All-Star in Lincecum?
Posted on 23 Jun 2011 by Chris Tolbert.
Alright, the first game of the series was just flat out horrible for Madison Bumgarner who did give up 9 hits before two outs which was a modern Major League Baseball record. However, the Giants, like only the Giants can do, get back up, dust off their shoulders, and just play ball. Last night, Eli Whiteside had one of his better games with a two-run triple and an RBI single for the Giant...

Mariners Magic Month is May
Posted on 1 Jun 2011 by Chase Smith.
Even after a dismal start in the month of April, winning only 13 of 28 games the Mariners have managed to pick up the slack in May winning a total of 15 of the 26 games played (two additional games were postponed due to weather), pushing their overall record above .500 with 28 wins, and 26 losses. True productivity for the M’s in the month of May has not been seen since 2003 when the team acc...

Vintage Colon halts Bombers’ losing streak
Posted on 28 Apr 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
Newsflash! The New York Yankees' two-game losing streak, their longest of the year, is over thanks to yet another remarkable performance from seasoned righty Bartolo Colon. In an eight-inning, seven hit performance, Colon held the White Sox to just one run and struck out six. He looked nothing like a pitcher who sat out all of last season and more like the Cy Young Award winner in 2005. Colon ...

Not a Horrible start
Posted on 18 Apr 2011 by Jon Lopez.
It's not great either but considering the start the Astros had last season there is some good improvement. Offensive numbers aren't bad but consistent pitching is a problem. Myers is pitching like he wants to win the CY Young award, then you have Wandy who can't win. Lyon seems to be over the early rough start with 3 saves thus far. Most of the losses haven't been blow outs. The Astros have had...

Marlins Enjoying A Smooth Ride On The Road
Posted on 15 Apr 2011 by Brendan Tobin.
Two cities down and one giant three game set to go. The Marlins now have been on the winning end of series in Houston and now Atlanta. Edwin Rodriguez pointed to this week as an early measuring stick for his club. Tuesday night didn’t have anything encouraging for Florida other than Hanley Ramirez and Mike Stanton finally back together in the starting lineup. Even with the 3-4 hitters back in...

2011 MLB Preview: Looking at Felix Hernandez and the Seattle Mariners on Paper
Posted on 31 Mar 2011 by Adrian Fedkiw.
There's not much to cheer about in Seattle, but they do have two of the most exciting players in baseball in Cy Young Award winner Felix Hernandez and Ichiro. Just a year ago, the Mariners were a popular pick to win the AL West. They acquired Cliff Lee during the offseason in a trade with Philadelphia, and acquired Chone Figgins as a free-agent. Seattle started off slow and Cliff Lee didn't p...

2011 Cy Young Predictions, Rookies too
Posted on 26 Mar 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
As it appears this final week of Spring Training, the Cy Young races will eventually prove that the 2010 voting was more accurate than most realize. Historically, Cy Young voting has been predicated on a very simple set of stats – wins, tempered with ERA and IP. In 2010 Felix Hernandez won the Cy Young Award for a last place team – which has happened only a couple times in history (...

Cliff Lee Once and Future Phillie
Posted on 14 Dec 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
Believe it or not, Santa Claus delivered early in Philadelphia. Merry “Cliffmas” and Happy “Halladay”. “Oswalt” All Ye Faithful. “Hamels” Kwanza. Whatever faith you are, whatever deity you believe in, someone is smiling down on the Philadelphia Phillies. After much debate and self-imposed budgetary constraints, it turns out the Philadelphia Phil...

Roy Halladay is the unanimous 2010 National League Cy Young Award winner. There were 32 votes cast (two votes in each NL city), and Halladay received all 32 first-place votes. He is the 13th unanimous NL winner, receiving a perfect 224 points (7 points for first place, 4 for second, 3 for third, two for fourth and one for fifth). The BBWAA expanded the Cy Young Award ballot from 3 to 5 pitc...

Halladay Notches Players Choice Award…and Cy Young?
Posted on 30 Oct 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
Roy Halladay was a critically acclaimed addition for the Phillies last winter, and now he's won the support of his peers and competitors. Halladay was named the National League winner of the Players Choice Award for Oustanding Pitcher on Thursday in recognition for a tremendous regular season in which he threw a perfect game and led the league in wins. Halladay is VERY likely to be the National...

Cliff Lee who?
Posted on 17 Apr 2010 by Bryan Sargent.
Behind another masterful performance from the 2010 NL Cy Young Award winner Roy Halladay, the Phillies took the first of a three-game set against the Florida Marlins Friday night. (Yes, I’m already bestowing the award to the ex-Blue Jay. I’m sorry, but I don’t think there has been this type of a frightening, dominating starting pitcher in the NL since Randy Johnson. When Roy loses a game ...
