Great hitting seasons of recent memory

I’m winding down this series on great hitting seasons. Only one more installment to go. With the passing of the years, it’s easy to forget just how good a hitter Henry Aaron was.

Are Dodgers fans superstitious or just a little stitious?

Your Los Angeles Dodgers are going back to the World Series, and they only are because of what we the fans do -all the crazy, kooky things we do to make it happen. Well, maybe the team has a little bit to do with it. But they obviously can’t do it without the fans and […]

The pennants have been captured, and the Fall Classic awaits. Adding insult to injury, the Series not only fails to feature our Phillies, but instead includes two clubs who are not particularly fondly remembered in the City of Brotherly Love: the Blue Jays, whose last title in 1993 came at the hands of Joe Carter […]

One Year Ago: Jays Hire Popkins as Hitting Coach

One year ago today, the Jays hired David Popkins as their new hitting coach. At the end of the post about the signing, I wrote “Hopefully, he’ll find a way to get our guys scoring more.” Well, he did. In 2024, the Jays hit .241/.313/.389, scoring 4.14 runs per game. In 2025, the Jays hit […]

Should the Rockies consider Paul Goldschmidt?

Last week, I wrote a bit about veteran experience with the Colorado Rockies.
