Obviously, You're Not a Golfer. Ball in general, life on the road… on this blog, either you do or you don't. Spring Training, Day 13: Taco. In. A. Helmet. Anyway, to the baseball. Today was another episode in the ongoing strange saga of Johan Santana, and I’d be lying if I said to you that I understand what exactly is going on. He’s going to pitch in a game, at some point. But when? Not clear. Whether that will be enough for him to be ready for the first turn through the rotation? But it all works so muc...

No, for real, I’m not a scout. When I was on the beat, a scout-y eye was always one of my weaknesses. I worked over the years to refine it, but I do want to preface this by saying I’m not a trained scout. 1 No doubt the kid has a big arm. Consistently hit 95 on the stadium gun, and hit 96 in his last inning. 5 Before I read up on h...

I already laid out my division/wild card/pennant winner picks for MLB.com, as did several of my colleagues. You can check those out here. But I try to go into a little more depth here at the blog, so once again I’m giving more extensive picks in this space. Here are last year’s preseason predictions. Which had mixed results, and here’s my roundup of how I fared. At the end of the year. I won’...

Obviously, You're Not a Golfer. Ball in general, life on the road… on this blog, either you do or you don't. Spring Training, Day 16: No-hitter watch. Exhibit 14,729 as to how Spring Training is different:. After five innings today, I took a look at my scorecard and said, “Oh, hey, the Cardinals don’t have a hit yet.” And then they got one, and that was that. Today’s game in a nutshell:. Player of the day:. Teheran. He pitched five no-hit innings, striking out six against two walks. Aside from Br...It...

I saw it noted on Twitter this afternoon that today is the 10th anniversary of one of the more memorable games I covered during my years on the beat. On June 13, 2003, Roger Clemens joined two very elite clubs. By recording his 300th win and 4000th strikeout in the big leagues. Did you really not know? The response from the man who’d never played in the Bronx before was perfect: “They ...Pingback:...

Obviously, You're Not a Golfer. Ball in general, life on the road… on this blog, either you do or you don't. Wrapping up a week in Florida. This afternoon, I hit my seventh ballpark in seven days, finishing up a week of barnstorming all over Florida. In my new role as full-time editor and sometimes reporter/columnist/analyst, my work was more about meeting people, talking to people, checking in on what’s going on, and less about writing Spring Training features. Best concession item: Do you have to ask?

Spring Training, Day 17: Back home again on Planet Jupiter « Obviously, You're Not a Golfer

Obviously, You're Not a Golfer. Ball in general, life on the road… on this blog, either you do or you don't. Spring Training, Day 17: Back home again on Planet Jupiter. Kris Medlen pitched quite well before coming out of the game in the fifth. He was hit in the arm by a batted ball, and while it doesn’t seem to be serious at all, it would have been silly to push him. But I mean, he could be an off-the-field star, somewhat akin to how R.A. Dickey has taken off. Dickey of course has other thing...Maybe he ...
