• No One Knows How to Pitch to the Dodgers’ Mookie Betts

Mookie Betts is batting leadoff for what could arguably be the best lineup in Major League Baseball. He sets the table for reigning American League MVP and current triple crown candidate Shohei Ohtani and MVP candidate Freddie Freeman. No other team has better lineup protection, so it is puzzling to see Betts getting fewer pitches in the zone …...2024

However, I chuckle every time I hear someone say that the Cubs didn’t really do anything in the offseason. Certainly, running it back with a team that didn’t reach the playoffs and hoping that internal growth seems like a silly plan. That said, ...2024

Jonathan Dyer-USA TODAY Sports The Braves will have a new Opening Day Starter for the 2024 season. The impact of who the Opening Day starter is for a baseball team is largely overrated.
