Dodgers pitcher Pedro Baez is baseball’s slowest worker and it’s agonizing to watch – For The Win
LOS ANGELES — To say Pedro Baez works at a snail’s pace would be unfair to snails, unless you’re referring to the entire lifespan of a snail or the amount time it took snails to evolve their shells. Snails get bored watching Pedro Baez pitch. Baez, the Dodgers’ 28-year-old reliever, pitches at a slower pace than anyone else in baseball, and it’s not terribly close.

Major League Baseball hopes that Africa’s got talent – PRI
At a baseball diamond on the outskirts of Johannesburg, 17-year-old Koketso Manamela steps up to the plate. He looks out at the pitcher, who kicks his leg and delivers a pitch. Manamela swings his bat and, with a crack, drives the ball deep into the outfield. He sprints around the bases, which are spread across the grassy infield of a converted cricket ground. This story is based on a radio…

Baseball Notebook: Front offices have Red Sox flavor – Boston Herald
TORONTO — This round of baseball’s playoffs has displayed an almost strange jumble of executive movement across the game with a strong Red Sox influence. “Certainly in the front office there (in Chicago),” Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer said yesterday. “You have Theo (Epstein) and me and Jason (McLeod), and (scouting directors) Jared Porter and Matt Dorey, all Red Sox guys. I think from the front-office standpoint, you know, in…

Beer brightens glory of old-time baseball – Albany Times Union
I’ve written about all sorts of topics through the years, but the two that prompted the most reader return input by far were beer and baseball. Readers showed next to no interest in political, crime or governmental items that should have been of interest.
