2016 Playoff Predictions (Josh)

By Josh: I’ve been thinking quite a bit (probably too much) about who I was going to pick this season to make the playoffs, win MVPs, Cy Youngs and more. I have to admit this season’s picks came much harder to me than the past couple years and I think the reason is simply because…

AL/NL Wild Card Predictions

AL Wild Card: Astros (Dallas Keuchel) at Yankees (Masahiro Tanaka) At first thought I had the Astros winning but after thinking about it I’m going with the Yankees. Keuchel is a Cy Young contender but he’s pitching on 3 days rest and I’m not sure how often he has done that if ever. Yankees get…

MLB Milestones May 2015

A few big time numbers were reached in May and none bigger than Alex Rodriguez passing Willie Mays in HR’s and Lou Gehrig in RBI’s. As controversial as A-Rod has been over the years, what he is doing is pretty amazing considering he didn’t play any ball last year and I am not a Yankees…

Hot Stove Week in Review Dec 29 – Jan 4

With the Holidays and New Year’s over let’s hope the Hot Stove starts to heat up again. Still a few big free agents left in Max Scherzer and James Shields. Also a few teams still have an overabundance of outfielders and will need to make trades, Padres and Red Sox, just to need a few.…

July Is Here Already

By Josh: The midway point of the season in terms of games played has come and gone and I can’t believe how fast the season is going. Since the regular season has started I have made it to one Mariner game, one Salem-Keizer Volcanoes game, and one Cowlitz Black Bears game. (I did go to…

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…

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. Last season I didn’t do bad, but compared to Trevor’s perfect predictions last season, I looked mediocre at best. So here I go…

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,…
