Willie Deserved Better – And So Did These Guys

Sun, 22 Jun 2008 02:54:30 +1900

I never expected I would feel bad for Willie Randolph. How the Mets could screw up a slam dunk of a firing the way they did by canning a manager who just won his third of four games after flying coast-to-coast the day after meeting with the GM and asking to be fired IF he was going to be before making the trip is amazing, indeed. In honor of Willie Randolph's 3:14am EDT firing on Tuesday is ...

You Should Write a Book…

Sun, 22 Jun 2008 02:54:03 +1900

As the College World Series nears its finale, the writer taps the collective memory of an NCAA baseball team. It's fall 2001 (so, it would be the 2002 season) and I've been at school for like 2 weeks when we have our first team meeting in the dugout. After going through about 35 minutes of material…"And another thing…over the course of a season, I know you guys get ...

Dude, Would It Kill You to Take a Walk?

Wed, 11 Jun 2008 16:06:01 +1900

One thing I'm noticing about the Royals is that their hitters really, really don't like to accept help from opposing pitchers. The only guy on the team who is drawing walks in 10% or more of his plate appearances is Mark Teahen (10.5%). Some of these numbers are outrageous: Tony Pena, 2.4% Jose Guillen, 2.7% Miguel Olivo, 3.1% Joey Gathright, 4.7% Really, if a guy like Gathright can't reach ...
