Baseball’s minor leaguers pursue their dreams below the poverty … – Washington Post
A rainbow arches across the sky over Lake Olmstead Stadium during the playing of the national anthem as Class-A Augusta GreenJackets play the Delmarva Shorebirds in Augusta on July 15. (John McDonnell/The Washington Post) AUGUSTA, Ga. — They trickled into the mid-July night, a rain-shortened loss beginning their Friday night early. A 25-year-old catcher hung back. Matt Paré chatted with teammates and underwent a long treatment session as other Augusta…
Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice for August 26 | FOX Sports – FOXSports.com
For those who are unfamiliar with my thought process, I aim to add as many home run hitters as possible to my daily fantasy baseball lineups. One way of doing that is to look at a player’s isolated power numbers (ISO). The ISO statistic removes singles and provides a larger weight for each extra-base hit. I also use the weighted on-base average (wOBA) metric. This stat takes every positive outcome into consideration. Last year,…
Reds’ Adam Duvall wants baseball to get rid of the designated hitter … – CBSSports.com
To DH or not to DH? The debate rages in not only among fans, but among players and coaches and executives within baseball. There seems to be no middle ground. Either you love the designated hitter or you hate it. Reds outfielder Adam Duvall is not a fan of the DH. He prefers the old school National League style of play. Here’s what he told ESPN’s Mark Saxon recently: One…

Rogue sheep goes streaking at minor league baseball game – FOXSports.com
Minor league baseball is the gift that keeps on giving. Not only do they have some of the weirdest promotions you’ll ever see at a sporting event, but some of those promotions go awry and lead to livestock marching across the entire length of the outfield in the middle of a game. That’s what happened during Thursday night’s Class A game between the Batavia Muckdogs (Marlins) and the State College…

Gene Lyons: Media swing and miss on Hillary’s love of baseball – Chicago Sun-Times
In my view, God invented baseball to provide a sanctuary from the fallen world of politics. I believe I’ve missed two televised Red Sox games this year. To me, the seven-month major league season is the sporting equivalent of, say, ”Downton Abbey” — a complex, seemingly endless narrative filled with surprising events and unforgettable characters. My earliest specific baseball memory is racing into the bathroom where the old man was…
Tim Tebow Lavished with Praise for Doing Even the Most Basic Baseball Things – The Big Lead
Twenty Major League teams will attend Tim Tebow’s baseball workout, suggesting there are some who believe he actually has a chance to make a positive impact on an organization. Like many other level-headed people, I am skeptical. Tebow’s trainer and Gary Sheffield previously expressed belief the former Heisman Trophy winner is secretly a spectacular baseball player just waiting for an opportunity. Former closer David Aardsma also believes Tebow is legit…
