Please be sure to check your lineups and of course check the weather to make sure your players are actually playing tonight. Pitching In yesterday’s DFS posting Tim Finnegan discussed avoiding the narrative and dealing with just the numbers. It’s something that’s easy to fall…

The Marlins are a team that is bad and a team that is owned by a man who’s not especially popular. On Tuesday night, they played host to the Brewers (GameTracker). They are also not especially good, at least as the standards of major-league clubs go. It follows, then, that the streets of Miami were not ablaze in anticipation of his matchup. As for the people of Miami, they did…

(CHICAGO) — Aligning with the 50th anniversary of Sandy Koufax’s perfect game against the Cubs and Koufax’s iconic decision to not pitch Game 1 of the 1965 World Series because it fell on the Jewish holiday Yom Kippur, founder and CEO of Jewish Baseball Player.com Greg Harris stopped by Sports Feed Tuesday to share the story of the roles Jews like Koufax played in baseball. Harris came up with the…

Fox has given a put pilot commitment to an hour-long drama that follows a young female pitcher who defies the odds to become the first woman to compete in professional baseball. The untitled project, which hails from 20th Century Fox TV for Fox Broadcasting Company, will be penned and exec-produced by names not usually associated with television drama: Rick Singer (“American Dad!”) and Dan Fogelman (“Galavant,” “Grandfathered”). Non-writing exec producers are Tony Bill…

A quarter-century ago, the Toronto Blue Jays were an economic and competitive force in Major League Baseball. Over the past six weeks, the Jays have shown the potential to regain that lost identity. It’s widely known that the Jays lead the American League East and are on the verge of qualifying for the postseason for the first time since 1993. But the story among the blue seats at Rogers Centre…

Players think about baseball differently than you do. It’s a hard thing to accept about being a fan, but it’s true: their mindset just isn’t the same as yours. As fans, we think about the long run. “WheRE are they drafting next year?” or “When does their window close?” or “How can I be as negative as humanly possible in order to stand out from a merely kinda negative crowd?”…

All 30 MLB teams are in action Tuesday night, allowing DraftKings daily fantasy players a wide array of big names to choose from.  Deciding on a few stars like Clayton Kershaw and Josh Donaldson is the easy part—the challenge lies in filling out the rest of your roster with more affordable options who can still produce. Below are rankings for the top three players at each position, followed by five…

The Twins held a locker room Labor Day celebration on Monday with the team’s bat boy providing the entertainment with a very impressive dance set to iHeartMemphis’s “Hit The Quan”. Instagram Jan 1, 2015 at 6:47pm PST • Grumpy Cat stops by Diamondbacks game to help with first pitch Torii Hunter posted a clip of the dance and said the team is trying to learn the steps to mimic the bat boy’s…

In the decade or so since baseball found itself in the throes of omnipresent Tommy John surgery dread, almost nothing has changed. Buck-passing rules the landscape. Competing interests married with a paucity of facts leads to ruinous consequences. And this entire Matt Harvey debacle – so easy to telegraph, so difficult to prevent – highlights how baseball not only fostered this sort of environment but isn’t doing enough to prevent…

Monday was a good day across two major fronts for the LSU baseball program. At the highest level, former Tiger star Louis Coleman was recalled from Triple-A by the Kansas City Royals after spending the entire season with the Omaha Storm Chasers. That makes 10 LSU alums currently in the big leagues as the September stretch run commences: D.J. LeMahieu (Colorado), Kevin Gausman (Baltimore), Aaron Nola (Philadelphia), Nick Goody and Nick…

Baseball Returning To Montreal Could Be Good For Red Sox Fans (Video) Baseball left Montreal in 2004, but since then, Expos fans have wanted to get it back. And if they do, it could be a great thing for the Boston Red Sox and the rest of the American League East. The Expos failed largely because their home field at Olympic Stadium was inconveniently located, unsafe and had poor playing conditions,…

It’s Monday, which means our regularly scheduled programming of This Week in (Dumb) Baseball is ready for consumption. As regular readers already know, this feature has the title, sure, but it’s mostly for fun— a fact that eludes the masses but remains the case. For example, if you tell me to “quit whining,” you are missing the point. I’m mostly chuckling to myself as I write these things (with some…

We may be another week closer to the MLB playoffs, but there is still plenty of time for daily fantasy baseball. The 2015 season is still going strong, and DFS owners can still cash in with massive payouts every day on DraftKings. In order to come away with a hefty bankroll, owners will need to know players to target and a strategy to follow. So let’s get straight to a…
