A handful of games have Continue reading The Scheduling Probably Won’t Change Anytime Soon, But We Can Still Think About It→

I don’t think there’s really anyone to blame for the terrible weather that’s been causing games to be postponed lately.  Maybe we could blame humanity in general for messing with the climate and potentially causing much more rain and snow than we normally would see around this time.

Let’s be very honest.  The 2018 version of the Chicago Cubs has been an early disappointment, and it’s been a mystery as to why they have been so inconsistent given how good they are supposed to be on paper.  However, we then look at teams like the Giants and Dodgers, Continue reading A Different Brand of Frustration→

Spring training is in full swing, with plenty of news tweets, reports, videos, and other fun news out of MLB.
