What to do with the Diamondbacks - May 24, 2018 May 24, 2018

Show notes

The Diamondbacks got off to an amazing start and then went into a free fall. Now they are mediocre and need to do something to rise above it.

Smart Moves In Pittsburgh So Far - May 18, 2018 May 18, 2018

Show notes

The Pirates considered 2018 to be a rebuilding year. So naturally they are approaching the 1/3 mark of the season in first place. Now they are bringing up one of their top prospects in a year that could be one to remember.

Why I've stopped following the Red Sox this year - May 17, 2018 May 17, 2018

Show notes

I've been a Red Sox fan my whole life. Even when we moved and there was no internet, I still followed them day in and day out. They are the great sports passion of my life. But when the Red Sox brought back domestic abuser Steven Wright to the team, it put a knot in my stomach. It became clear to me that I had to stop following the team as long as he was on the squad. Baseball punished Robinson Cano for 1/2 a season for PEDs and Steven Wright 15 days for domestic violence. Something is wrong there and I do not need to support it. I will be watching a LOT of baseball... just not the Red Sox until Wright is gone.

Birthday Episode - Locked down AL and Free For All NL - May 14, 2018 May 14, 2018

Show notes

On my birthday, I looked at how different 2018 is shaping up compared to 2017. Last year a handful of NL teams contended while the AL was wide open. This year, it is the National League that looks like a free for all while the American League is top heavy. Plus I gave my thoughts on legalized sports gambling, which weren't many thoughts.

Yankees and Red Sox Sprint While the Astros Run A Marathon - May 10, 2018 May 10, 2018

Show notes

The Yankees are on an unbelievable streak and will probably sweep the Red Sox. But then again, the Red Sox ALSO were on an unbelievable streak earlier this year. Meanwhile the Astros have been steady and on a 99 win pace and will probably be there when all is said and done.

Going to a Nashville Sounds Game and Seeing a Fight - May 5, 2018 May 06, 2018

Show notes

I attended my first baseball game of the year and saw the Nashville Sounds top the Memphis Red Birds. I enjoyed the minor league setting but also witnessed a fight taking place in an unusual setting.

Watching a No Hitter while in Nashville - May 4, 2018 May 05, 2018

Show notes

I watched the end of a combined no hitter while sitting in my hotel room in Nashville, Tennessee. While waiting for the game to end, I pondered what would have happened if MLB had expanded into Nashville. I also tip my cap to Albert Pujols and his 3,000th hit.

Pondering Clayton Kershaw's future and Empathy for Ken Giles - May 2, 2018 May 02, 2018

Show notes

The window of opportunity might be closing for the injured and bickering Dodgers. With that in mind, should the Dodgers consider dealing Clayton Kershaw? Plus Astros closer Ken Giles had a rough night last night. I feel for him.

Dropping Yawkey Way and Hank Aaron as a Boston Sports Hero - April 26, 2018 Apr 26, 2018

Show notes

Yawkey Way's name has been changed back to Jersey Street. That is a GOOD thing. Meanwhile, I think about an alternate universe where the Braves, not the Red Sox, stayed in Boston and Hank Aaron blossomed alongside Bill Russell in New England.

Angels flunked one test and are facing another - April 23, 2018 Apr 23, 2018

Show notes

The Angels got clobbered at home by the Red Sox and dropped two more to San Francisco, derailing their momentum. If they want to make a play for the AL West, they need to play the Astros well, head to head. The Angels and Astros series starts tonight.
