San Francisco was down 1-0 when they had a 4-run third inning which included a 2-run home run by Pablo Sandoval, his first and the Giants first home run of the year. Giants' pitcher Tim Lincecum struggl...

Carlos Gonzalez: Five Tool Superstar
Posted on 5 Jun 2012 by Steve Folsom.
Carlos Gonzalez made history between Wednesday and Thursday last week when he hit a home run in four consecutive at bats. Several others have done this in Major League history, but never in Colorado Rockies history. His next official at bat, after an intentional walk, was only a double (if you have him in your fantasy leagues you might as well trade him because clearly he isn't hitting home r...

MVP Voting in Vogue
Posted on 7 May 2012 by Steven Keys.
It’s a bit early in the baseball campaign to be writing about MVPs, though, that didn’t stop some this spring from doing just that. Not too many endeavors as frivolous as pre-season prognostications on likely, after-season award winners. But it’s a free country, fast becoming jobless, but free. This piece isn’t about predictions nor intended to depreciate award winners of the past. It...

Posted on 26 Sep 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
As the 2011 season draws to a close, most of the playoff teams have staked their claim on a postseason berth. Only the wildcard qualifications have yet to be determined and those will excitingly come down to the final games of the season. Exciting September baseball affords the best non-division winner to overcome divisional deficiencies and still make the postseason. Despite wildcard debates,...

Phight for Right to Party
Posted on 11 Aug 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
In case anyone’s last name is “Van Winkle” or they have been residing in a town called “Bedrock” it has now become common knowledge that the 2011 Philadelphia Phillies (77-40, 37 games over .500 for the first time since finishing 101-61 in 1977) are officially the best team in baseball. Mind you, these numbers reflect regular season opponents in August rather than postseason opponents...

Let’s Talk Phillies’ Turkey
Posted on 13 Jul 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Now that all of the All-Star noise has been cleared from the airwaves, it is time to focus on the second half of the 2011 season. Teams generally have decided whether or not they are contenders or planning for the future. Buyers and Sellers have been identified and generally that is determined by two numbers – how close you are to the .500 mark after 90 games and how many games behind the wil...

All-Stars Losing Battle
Posted on 5 Jul 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Most of the press these days regarding All-Star selection has to do with the snubs – or the littany of exclusions – especially from writers and fans of teams only sending one representative to the Midseason Classic. Starting lineups and reserves were unveiled Sunday for the July 12 All-Star Game at Phoenix's Chase Field and while rosters are not completed, two concepts were ma...

Baseball’s Midseason Awards
Posted on 27 Jun 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
It seems like just yesterday I was typing up my preseason predictions for the upcoming baseball season. It's hard to believe that we are already at the halfway point. Who says that the baseball season is too long? As per usual with baseball, this season is full of unpredictability and surprises. We've seen two no-hitters within one week to make this the year of the pitcher 2.0, a home ...

LAABTDATT. LAA Beating the Dodgers all the time.
Posted on 25 Jun 2011 by Bill Mahoney.
The Angels aren't that good of team. The Dodgers are down right bad. I never thought I would say that, but it is true. The Dodgers are making the Halos out to be the Yankees of yesteryear. Both teams are deficient in many areas, but the Angels have a much better nucleus than their boys up the freeway. Matt Kemp is the best player on either team, but he is only one guy. Andre Ethier isn't so bad...

Baseball’s Top 10 Records
Posted on 7 May 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
On Friday night, Andre Ethier of the Los Angeles Dodgers ran his hitting streak to 30 games, the highest total since Jimmy Rollins hit in 35 straight in 2005. While the attention on Ethier's hit streak has garnered a lot of attention – and rightfully so – he is still 26 games short of Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak in 1941. Will Ethier reach DiMaggio's record? More than...
