White Sox Looking Ahead – 2025
I was dead wrong about the 2024 White Sox. Where I saw hope, I should have seen darkness. Unfortunately for the White Sox, the bullpen totally underperformed this year. But that’s not all. Luis Robert Jr. was/is a joke, and the improvements defensively in the middle of the diamond were not enough to keep this…

2024 White Sox Predictions Day 3
Day 3/7 of my White Sox prediction series is upon us. On the third day I predict the most important pitcher for the White Sox in 2024. Michael Soroka. For me, the most interesting thing about Soroka is his size. The Sox haven’t had a consistent starter of his stature in quite some time. He…

Eagles Season Prediction
13-4 despite having the toughest strength of schedule in the league. The eagles are obviously returning the core of both sides of the football. The biggest losses the team suffered in the off season is depth across the lines, but that is what the draft was for. As always, we will split the season series…

NL Too Early Over/Under Performers
We are back with round 2 of our over/under performing teams. This edition focuses on the National League. These teams made my life much easier than the AL. NL East: Thank you to the Miami Marlins for making my job easy here. Everyone in the universe would have predicted the Braves/Phils/Mets as 1, 2, and…

Why aren’t more people talking about pitch framing?
The year was 2006. The World Cup was taking place in Germany and games occurred at a reasonable time for people in America to watch. Of course, this was four years after the World Cup in Japan when only the REAL soccer fans were watching. Why does this matter? What am I talking about, and…

Is the Transfer Portal Killing March Madness?
March Madness is the most beautiful form of chaos that exists in sports. For three weeks, college basketball takes over. People spend the first Thursday and Friday of the tournament “working”, which in reality is just basketball on one screen and a spreadsheet on another. Even your significant other that couldn’t tell you Oakland University…

Lamar Jackson and His Plan to Ruin the Ravens
Before this article begins to poke holes in the Lamar Jackson plan, who is a very good football player, it is important to understand that the NFL is run by billionaires (with a B). NFL owners got to their position by making intelligent business moves at the right time. Some owners have even gotten lucky…

White Sox 2023 Bench
The white sox 2023 bench. I love it. Gavin Sheets, Romy Gonzalez, Hanser Alberto, and Seby Zavala. This is a roster built purely on flexibility. Gavin Sheets proved last year that he is not just a first baseman, but a pure baseball player. Put him wherever, and he will learn. I can’t say the same…

Who Should be the White Sox Closer in 2023?
The White Sox 2022 season will be remembered as one of the most disappointing seasons in recent years, coming off of the excitement seen in 2021. Between the injury bug and a lack of motivation in the locker room, one thing was consistent: Liam Hendriks dominating batters. With Liam presumed to miss significant time this…
