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 Days 4-7
I’m already slacking on my commitments, but fear not, I will catch up on a few missed days of Sox predictions. I do have a real job after all. Number 1 – Rookie of the year Nick Nastrini. He has looked great all camp in every video I have seen in addition to his game…

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…

2024 White Sox Predictions: MIP
Prediction #1: The most important player for the 2024 White Sox will be Andrew Benintendi. Last offseason he elected not to get hand surgery and played the entire season through what he described as significant pain. I imagine that played a huge factor in his drop-off of power at the plate. His best days in…

What will the White Sox do in 2024?
My prediction for the 2024 White Sox season is a complete turnaround from 2023. No, I am not saying this team will win 100 games or even make the playoffs. But the brand of baseball that is going to put on the field will be different. The front office was drastically overhauled and drove this…

MLBTV: The Greatest App Ever
I obviously love baseball, but I am convinced Major League Baseball does not enjoy making money. I already wrote about their poor scheduling on opening day followed by very few games on the next day, a Friday, which was just weird. But now I am here to write about television coverage. A few weeks ago,…

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…

AL Too Early Over/Under Performers
Welcome back everyone. It has been quite some time since I have been active with my writing. I was pretty open in my first post that starting a new role at my company and buying a house was not an ideal time to start a blog. Admittedly, it has been even more time consuming than…

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…
