It’s been a year since Jessica Mendoza became first female ESPN MLB game analyst during the August 24, 2015 edition of Monday Night Baseball. On the eve of the Olympic softball star’s one-year anniversary with ESPN, she spoke to For The Win about the past year, being a pioneer and if the Cubs are really going to break that curse. The interview has been condensed for space and lightly edited…

Earlier this month, former Eagles quarterback Tim Tebow announced that he would be pursuing a career in professional baseball — and the Phillies, it seems, are listening. As USA Today reports, the Phillies have confirmed they will send a scout to observe Tebow next week in Los Angeles, where he will hold a workout Tuesday for interested…

During the second inning of a June 10 New York Mets game in Milwaukee, the team’s television broadcasters had no shortage of juicy topics to consider. The Mets’ pitcher that day, ace Matt Harvey, was struggling through a career-worst season. Star third baseman David Wright had just gone down with a serious neck injury. And the actual game at hand would eventually prove to be an extra-inning nailbiter. But at…

KINSTON, NC (WITN) – Get ready to sing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame,” because professional baseball is returning to an Eastern Carolina city after a five year lapse. The Texas Rangers announced Monday that they’ve entered into a 12-year agreement to put a new Class-A team at Grainger Stadium in Kinston. “I believe you got the right team in place here in Kinston…

Some has to say it. The commissioner of Major League Baseball might not understand the game of baseball. Rob Manfred has had baseball’s top job since January of 2015. Whereas his predecessor was mostly a caretaker, dutifully serving the interests of team owners in labor disputes, and mostly leaving the on-field product alone, Manfred constantly throws out radical ideas. Even if they are contradictory. Manfred’s diagnosis is that baseball’s fans…

Baseball writers are all frauds, and I’m the worst offender of all. Every year, we’re presented with a month of games and asked to assign meaning to them. The Phillies are surprise contenders. Bryce Harper is going to hit 74 home runs. Mat Latos just might be back. The takes are hot, the takes are dumb, but it’s not like we’re going to go a month without takes. Goodness, no….

KINSTON, Lenoir County – For the first time since the end of the 2011 season, baseball is returning to Kinston and Grainger Stadium. An agreement was reached where the Texas Rangers will field a high Class A team in the city known for years for its baseball. The team will be part of the Carolina League. It’s anticipated the league will also field a newly formed team in Fayetteville, which…

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,…

Note: Don’t whiff on this special FanDuel offer. Win your first contest or get your money back (up to $10) to keep playing Try FanDuel now! OK, so he’s here. Now what? I’m not sure anyone knows. The Houston Astros started Yulieski Gurriel at DH Sunday, but unless they plan on making Evan Gattis their primary catcher, that’s not an everyday solution. He played primarily third base in both the…

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson knows a thing or two about attempting to play baseball professionally. After being selected in the fourth round of the 2010 MLB Draft by the Colorado Rockies, Wilson tried his hand in the minors. He responded by posting a .229 average with a 36 percent strikeout rate in parts of two seasons. Now a Super Bowl winning quarterback, Wilson himself has some advice for…

The good news is, outfielder Brandon Thomas’ blast left the park and traveled a long way. Can’t make this up. @brandonthomas6 hit a grand slam tonight that smashed a windshield. That’s his own truck. pic.twitter.com/B1ZqFUyfSe — Sam Levitt (@SammyLev) August 22, 2016 Of course the bad news is, the truck is going to need to spend some time in the shop. Thomas, a former Yankees prospect, hit the base-clearing, glass-shattering homer in the second…
