Baltimore Orioles What Went Right: Most everything? Adam Jones had a first half worthy of MVP votes, Matt Wieters has been one of the better backstops in baseball (as usual). Jason Hammel has been a huge surprise after being brought over from the Rockies this winter. Wei-Yin Chen has been remarkably good since coming over […]

Atlanta Braves What Went Right: Atlanta's outfield of Martin Prado, Michael Bourn, and Jason Heyward has been the best in baseball, combining for 11.8 fWAR in the first half while missing just five games among the trio. Andrelton Simmons was a vacuum at shortstop after getting called up at the beginning of June, putting up […]

In those two starts, Sheets allowed six earned runs in 10 2/3 innings, but struck out ten while walking just one, […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=_EEUBDjQdec Warning: the above audio clip is vulgar, and not safe for work. Most Phillies fans I know really prefer the radio crew of Scott Franzke and Larry Anderson to the abysmal TV crew of Tom McCarthy and the rotating duo of Chris Wheeler and Gary Matthews.

Entering this season, several teams took the risk of transitioning a young, dominant reliever from the bullpen to the rotation. To put it mildly, the results have been mixed, ranging from smashing success to unmitigated disaster even thought he season is only halfway done. The high profile nature of these pitcher conversions are sure to […]

We've reached the unofficial midpoint of the MLB season: the All-Star Break. No games will be played for the next four days, and the only events going on will be the Home Run Derby today, and the All-Star Game tomorrow. It's been a pretty crazy season so far, and here are some of the highlights […]
