400th Post!!!

By Josh: It seems like this post has been a long time coming but here it is. We have reached 400 posts and we are all so excited that we have so many people following the 9 Inning Know It All Empire either by email, twitter or our Facebook page. The team members for the…

What Have We Learned

By Josh: We are just three weeks into the season but already we have discovered quite a bit about each of the six divisions. Here is my run down of what I think the most important things that we have learned about each division. NL East “Surprise…..Maybe Not” Atlanta                 13-6 Washington        11-9 NY Mets               10-9…

Baseball Is Still Just A Game

By Josh: The New York Mets season began on Monday and after three games they are 0-3. It is a disappointing start to the season, but their first opponent of the season, the Washington Nationals, isn’t just any team. However, the biggest news for the Mets to start the year is that their 2nd baseman,…

It’s Only Three Games

By Josh: (Here is a little peak into the mind of a desperate fan, mine.) The first couple days of every season can be deceiving for baseball fans. A team that starts off the season hot can give the impression that this is their year, even though everyone knows it isn’t. World Series contenders who…

Josh’s 2014 Predictions

With opening day officially done and every team having officially announcing their rosters and their injuries I am now ready and as confident as I’ll ever be to make my 2014 predictions.

The Rule Changes

By Josh: On Tuesday Major League Baseball officially announced two rule changes. The first was a change in when collisions at home plate can and cannot occur. I know a lot of people are up in arms saying that this is just because of Buster Posey getting hurt (I will talk about that) and collisions…

Video Killed the Radio Star

For over a year the 9 Inning crew has been using BlogTalkRadio to do our weekly shows. It has been a great opportunity for us to talk baseball, interview a lot of great baseball people, and to just have some fun. We will still use BlogTalkRadio from time to time but now we have found…

The Derek Jeter Effect

By Josh: I don’t hide the fact that I am not a Yankee fan. As a baseball fan I respect the history of the Yankees but I truly root for two teams in baseball, the Mariners and whoever is playing the Yankees. The Yankees are a team that I just can’t stand, with the exception…

Open the Floodgates

By Josh: (Just so everyone is aware from the start I may rant a little in this post. Oh and I am not a Yankee fan.) For months baseball has been held hostage by the on and off again possibility of Masahiro Tanaka coming to Major League Baseball. Yesterday that saga comes to a conclusion,…
