Hot/Cold – Week 18
Are players performing up to expectations or are they struggling to live up to the hopes placed on their shoulders? That said, do we really “know” who players are? We should by now, right?

Ray’s Ramblings – Mound Mavens
Brandon Woodruff has been sent to the IL. How long will the Brewers be without him? Urquidy will get some rope with the Astros. Soroka has hit a little speed bump. What does that mean? Two righties – Samardzija and Pineda – are both effectively eating innings. Same can pretty much be said about Musgrove Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

Ray’s Ramblings: Are MLB Teams Tanking?
There’s the belief, in many circles, that owners are grubby, rich, miserly fellas like Scrooge. Some folks think owners, sitting in their ivory towers, are clinging to every last cent of their financial holdings without giving a passing thought to anything other than the bottom line. These people, those that hold owners in such low Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

The Closer Chart – July 11th, 2019
The 2019 season is underway and, predictably, it’s a disaster. Some teams seem to have no plan at all.

Ray’s Ramblings: Mound Mavens, June 12th
Luzardo and Puk finally took the hill in a game that mattered. Bundy has cut the homers, and success has followed. Since his first pitch, Griffin Canning has looked like he belonged.

Ray’s Ramblings: 2019 First Half Pitchers
We’re beyond the mid-point of the season as Major League Baseball takes some time off for the 2019 All-Star Game (we don’t know about you, but isn’t it fantastic that 127 players, slight exaggeration, get named to the ASG and the surrounding festivities?

Ray’s Ramblings: Does The All-Star Game Mean Anything?
At one point in time the All-Star Game meant something in baseball. It was a true honor to be named to the game, and in fact, we used to judge players careers by the amount of times they were named to the game.
