by redsrbetter

A lot of baseball fans are in favor of the team that they are homegrown into. When I say homegrown I mean either they live in or near the city in which the baseball team plays their home games or their families have groomed them into becoming a fan of their team. In a lot of cases, it is both.

Last Sunday, the Yankees and Mariners were playing a Sunday matinee. The Yankees fans had to be relatively happy around the 7th inning stretch. The Yankees were ahead of the M’s by three runs, with Darrell Rasner pitching shutout ball through five and two-thirds with Proctor and Henn picking up the last one and a third. The...

We’re nearing one and a half months of play in this 2007 MLB season and after one of the most debated free agent markets we have seen, it’s time to determine if the contract is a Milano or a Pavano.

In 1895 a star was born. A star that had a talent that surpassed all others. An unlikely hero became a legend told for many generations. He was a troublemaking kid who had an outrageous appetite, but an even bigger ability to play a game at a higher level then ever witnessed. George Ruth Jr. was his name and that named will live forever in baseball history.

Step 1: Know What a Good Pitcher Looks Like

OOTP, like real life, operates on peripheral statistics. A pitcher’s key numbers are his strikeouts, walks, homeruns, and hits ...

Five minutes per pick, thirty first round picks, thirty sandwich picks, and only another forty nine rounds to go.

The MLB Draft is the least popular amateur draft of the four major sports. Now, it is finally getting television coverage. ESPN2 on June 7th will air coverage of the draft from 2 PM EST to 6 PM EST. Each first round pick will be televised, and likely some of the sandwich picks.

Are our future stars unworthy of being mentioned in the same breath as those stars before them?

We have all heard the story start out like this; “A long time ago, someone hits a ball with a stick to pass the time, pastime becomes game, game becomes competition, baseball is born.” That slogan could be noted as America’s historic expression of the festivity that is baseball. It takes you back to the days prior to the existence of a remarkable competitive outlet.

The Pittsburgh Pirates have set a plan and have capatilized on it. Could this be the year they surprise the baseball world?

---

by redsrbetter

The professional baseball team that resides in Pittsburgh is nicknamed the Pirates. Fittingly so, they have attacked the Astros in each of their first three games of the season. Their advanced aggression was manufactured without the approval of many outfits whom call themselves "experts" in tallying the game. The experts expect this baseball team in Pittsburgh to be virtually non-existent. Instead...

Alex Rodriguez will go down as one of the best to ever play the game. But no matter what he has done in the regular season, in New York the postseason is what counts. New York has warmed up to A-Rod after the hero antics of Saturday, but will it last?
