Oldest MLB Teams

The MLB started in 1896, and while we have had some teams come and go. There are some that have managed to pass the test of time. These are the teams who have managed to weather all the storms that have come their way and found the rainbow at the end. And today, for a […]

Are The Phillies Contenders To Win The Playoffs?

The Philadelphia Phillies are very much in the playoff hunt — they own a 62-58 record and are two games out of the final National League wild-card spot.

Gerrit Cole Reaches the 200 Strike Out Mark

The Best MLB Players in 2019

If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a thousand times — the MLB regular season is a marathon, not a sprint. A good start to the year guarantees players and teams nothing come September and October.

MLB Players Looking to Turn Things Around in 2019

It’s been well established around these parts that baseball is a marathon, not a sprint. Playing 162 games in about 180-ish days over the course of six months can be a grind.

Major League Baseball Hitters Looking for a Strong 2019

MLB’s regular season is a marathon, not a sprint. A fast start doesn’t guarantee a career year and a slow start doesn’t mean a player is going to consistently struggle. Sometimes, all it takes is one pitch for a hitter to go on a hot streak.  Knowing which hitters are hot can give you a […]

Chris Davis and the Orioles are Historically Bad

The 2018 season has been awfully tough on the Baltimore Orioles. They entered the year with hopes of contending, but eventually went on a fire sale prior to the non-waiver trade deadline that saw guys like Manny Machado, Jonathan Schoop. Kevin Gausman, and Brad Brach all pack their bags. So, the organization is at the […]
