degrom lorenzo cain mike trout mlb pete rose zach greinke jul 15 the 2015 mlb all star game there must be a conspiracy posted by eanxdivr 0 i want to discuss the major league baseball all star game to hereby be referred to as the asg for the sake of my typing fingers actually it is the asg voting that i want to talk about i was raised on the principle of one person one vote sounds fair sounds like democracy in action then i was reminded of the somewhat amusing quip of vote early and vote often sigh isn t that somewhat counter intuitive it has occurred to me that the voting for the asg is more closely reminiscent latter an individual may submit up to 35 votes yes kids 35 votes why the whole voting process has become convoluted i read a comment actually several comments lamenting the selection of 6 kansas city royals to the 2015 asg the comments were let s say idiotic they reeked of the nonsense that only a conspiracy theorist can spew out let s take a look at a few shall we the people from kansas city must have found a way to cheat those kansas city royal fans must have found a way to hack the computer system major league baseball wants as many royals in the game as possible because they went to the world series last year they want to cash in on the popularity of the royals they will do anything to keep a rod out of the asg i heard that the fans in kansas city and st louis teamed up to get as many royals and cardinals in as they could have you ever heard of such ridiculous drivel while i do not agree with this 35 votes per person format i prefer the one vote per person paradigm with that said i would also say this if people are so cranked up about royals fans allegedly stuffing the ballot box then do something about it consider the 2013 population of the kansas city metro area is roughly 475 000 people the 2013 population of new york city and its 5 boroughs is roughly 8 406 000 how is it that the kansas city fans could outvote the new york fans each and every person who cared to do so could vote 35 times do the math as i said earlier the argument is more sour grapes than factual if you wanted your guys in the asg then get out and cast your 35 votes if you didn t than stop whining there is no conspiracy there is only a fanbase that is so enamored of its team that they got up got out and got their royals in the game here is a dollar go buy some tissues while i call the waaaahhhhmbulance for your hurt feelings next year get out and exercise your right to vote 35 times share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on x

recognizable the name conjures up images of a cincinnati reds player crashing headfirst into a catcher at the 1971 all star game there are images of a gritty tough ballplayer with a funny haircut images of a hustling all or nothing leader images of disgrace and no images of cooperstown everybody knows the tragic story of pete rose mlb s all time hits leader world series champion perennial all star and his fall from grace after agreeing to a lifetime ban for betting on his own team always to win while managing the cincinnati reds pete rose has petitioned all the mlb commissioners since the ban to lift it and it has always failed to be acted upon just today pete rose petitioned new mlb commissioner rob manfred for reinstatement and that is why this article exists today i am not going to get into all of the sordid details there are endless records in other places where you can get that information i only want to ask the question if enough time has passed for rose to be reinstated should a lifetime ban in this case actually be a lifetime ban was what rose did so egregious that he should be denied the opportunity to come home is it okay to have many players and other baseball figures who have done far worse still be included in the baseball family alex rodriguez barry bonds etc while rose is a pariah the answer to these questions rests with the individuals and once an individual has answered these questions does the opinion matter let s look at this even if the progressive new mlb commissioner agrees to lift the ban it still does not get rose into the hall of fame the baseball hof is still a private institution and they alone decide who is and who is not eligible for enshrinement and now because you didn t ask i will offer up my own personal opinion i believe that the lifetime ban that rose agreed to or was coerced in to was unjustified the punishment did not fit the crime pete rose had a gambling addiction he bet on his own team to win never to lose it is highly unlikely that the action or inaction of pete rose while he was managing the reds had any effect on the outcome of any game he did not cheat he did not use steroids or any other performance enhancing drug my belief is that then commissioner bart giamatti wanted to make an example of rose he certainly did that now it is time to let it go lift the ban allow pete rose his proper place in baseball history as the all time hits leader and as one of the greatest players to ever play the game the case of charlie hustle is a sad one please let it be rectified in pete rose s lifetime while there is still time to do so he has suffered the punishment now let him enjoy the accolades that he has earned share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on x opens in new window

falling posted by eanxdivr 0 sometimes i have a little too much time on my hands and with the excess time i will occasionally visit the team chatrooms of mlb clubs just to read the various chatter coming from them i have been doing this for a few seasons now and every spring the same thing just jumps off the pages at me it is the proclamation of the sky is falling we are going to be terrible this year we can t pitch the guys are not hitting they raised the price of hot dogs we re doomed really okay let s jump in the pool first off we are two weeks into spring training if teams are worried about winning these all important exhibition games perhaps they need to re focus believe it or not spring training is not about winning games it is about getting things working again it is about players getting into game shape it is irrelevant how rigorous or passive a players offseason training regimen is game tempo is different players need to adjust to that atmosphere second of all players are actually working on things such as timing and technique it is during spring training that players and teams are working out their double play sets players are working on skills such as bunting stealing hit and run and many other things pitchers are focusing on things like pitch location and getting their stuff working spring training is the time to work on the correct execution of skills and plays sometimes when you are simply working on things there will be failures and these failures will translate into losses it doesn t matter because spring training games do not count in the regular season standings i find it hilarious how people are getting crazy because their team is getting beat at this time of year it does not matter next the regular season starters see only limited action in spring training for example a pitcher will not be pushed to 7 or 8 innings in the spring he might go 2 or 3 innings and as spring progresses he will slowly be stretched to go longer nobody wants to get their regular season line up hurt in a game that means nothing it does happen but it is hopefully kept to a minimum lastly we have the young prospects hoping to make a club these guys are the ones who seem to give maximum effort all the time why because they have to these players are hoping to catch the eye of the coaching staff and evaluators this is why in a relatively large percentage of spring training games the guys who are on highlight reels are players that you have never heard of we have to remember that most of these guys are going to be sent down to aa or aaa ball in a few weeks but the team wants to see what they have down on the farm spring training is the time to do that conversely these are young players going up against other minor leaguers take from that what you will but there are precious few aa hitters who are going to be taking clayton kershaw over the wall so my friends if your team is getting hammered in spring training games try to keep it in perspective a world series was never won in a spring game in vero beach fl or surprise az so relax it is only spring training the sky is not falling the games that count are still a few weeks away

training mlb mlb 2015 mar 16 mlb disappearing history posted by eanxdivr 0 mlb disappearing history i am not one to be macabre i don t like to walk around spouting gloom and doom and i try not to associate with those who do i know that there are plenty of debbie downer s and gloomy gus s out there i would rather not deal with that okay so why the weird introduction to today s article it is because i just learned that hall of famer al rosen has passed away at 91 years old al rosen was a 4 time all star with the cleveland indians he was the third baseman on the last cleveland indians team to win a world series in 1953 in that same year he also took mvp honors after his playing career was over he was successful in the front office of several mlb teams i most remember him as a front office man for the new york yankees he was one of a few jewish players who are enshrined in cooperstown sandy koufax and hank greenberg and lou boudreau he was exposed to the anti semitism that can exist in our game he was a star in his day in spite of that what is really striking a chord with me is that since the beginning of 2015 we have now lost three significant pieces of our baseball history ernie banks minnie minoso and now al rosen have passed away these men are a part of the pantheon of baseball greats obviously people pass on nobody lives forever but it is still sad when one of these men passes away we need to keep our history alive i believe that baseball is truly one of those things where the lore is passed from one generation to the next i used to hear stories from my grandfather who knew hank greenberg as well as my father along with neighbors coaches and so on one of the ways that we keep our game great is to tell the stories and pass down the memories i close

column arm issues addressed the alarming frequency of arm injuries among major league pitchers during mlb spring training 2015 almost as soon as i posted my article i heard about a few more candidates for trips to the disabled list this is kind of proving my point first of all we have an update on cliff lee of the philadelphia phillies it turns out that he may not require tommy john surgery his diagnosis is a torn flexor tendon and he said that he would try to pitch through the injury however the team is not optimistic and they fear that lee will need surgery and that surgery may be career ending now to the rest of the updates on the rash of arm injuries marcus stroman toronto blue jays has a torn acl and is gone for the season gavin floyd cleveland indians has reinjured the elbow that had a stress fracture last season that put an early end to his 2014 campaign mike minor atlanta braves has an inflamed rotator cuff jacob turner chicago cubs has a mild flexor strain and a bone bruise

paying attention to 2015 spring training you will see that yu darvish of the texas rangers is having a little bit of elbow discomfort the injury that darvish has is being described by the team is an elbow sprain it seems that this term on many occasions morphs in to a ucl injury ulnar collateral ligament and very rarely does it have any other outcome than tommy john surgery the outlook for the texas rangers was not good to begin with and now with their ace most assuredly gone for the season it has become dismal anyway i was thinking about the amount of pitchers that are succumbing to ucl injuries and asked myself if the frequency of this particular injury is now higher than it was 10 or 20 years ago it certainly seems that way in the past few seasons we have seen this injury to matt harvey joel hanrahan stephen strasburg jose fernandez and now darvish along with several others why is it because today s pitchers are bigger with different mechanics is it because they throw harder with what is termed as maximum effort on every pitch is it because most pitchers have been at it for a long time from the time that they were kids thru the time that their arms simply just let go perhaps it is a combination of all of these factors my point of all of this is not to get into the weeds of the bio mechanics of cause and effect it is more the simple question of what if anything can be done to diminish the frequency of this plague like injury i am not a doctor and no i do not play on on tv either so i really don t have an answer would limiting a pitchers work in the off season or spring training be helpful darvish had done only minimal work in spring training this season and now he is gone i do not think that overwork is the issue here players have off season conditioning programs which are generally effective but in the case of these injured players not so much in the case of the texas rangers they...
