The Bullpen Cart is Back

by Russ_Cohen - 0

Is this a good thing? The Arizona Diamondbacks are doing it. They’re the first and they will be the model for the rest of major league baseball to see if it catches on. In a leisurely April game this should be fine. It may speed up the game initially. Although I

The Modern Era Hall Panel Whiffs on Ted Simmons

by Russ_Cohen - 0

Ted Simmons needed 12 votes to be inducted and he got 11. He played fewer seasons than Carlton Fisk and had more RBI and was a better hitter. He didn’t have the power and Fisk was better behind the plate but Simmons has a place in baseball history. The eight-time All-Star

by Leslie Monteiro - 0

Marlins ace Jose Fernandez was supposed to start last night’s game against the Mets. That didn’t happen since he was dead after a boating accident along with a couple of his friends early Sunday morning. Life had to go on for the Marlins. It never stops. So the Marlins moved onward

Now or Never For Flores

by Leslie Monteiro - 0

It seems Wilmer Flores plays well when he has a sense of urgency. When the Mets almost traded him to the Brewers last year, he responded by having a torrid August by hitting .306 with three home runs and 12 RBIs. He also had an on-base percentage of .337 along with
