STARKVILLE, Miss. — Coming off a red-hot month of April, the No. 1-ranked LSU baseball team is as hot as anybody in the country and is charging toward a potential top-8 national seed. Come join me for a lunchtime chat about the surging Tigers at noon Friday. LSU finished off the month in memorable fashion Thursday with a 14-inning 5-3 victory over rival Mississippi State at Dudy Noble Field. That elevates the Tigers into a…

2015 Stats: .205 BA, 10 R, 2 HR, 2 RBI, 1 SB (90 PA) Right now, Adrian Beltre’s owner is freaking out over the fact that his second-round selection has been really bad so far this year. Like, so bad that maybe even you, dear fantasy reader, are cringing at his numbers above and wondering if it’s actually worth targeting him as a buy-low candidate. If that’s the case, ask yourself…

Over two decades of coaching youth baseball, John McCarthy has learned that dads often have trouble with the most important parts of the game. They’re too competitive, he says, and too emotionally wrapped up in the success of their children. Dads don’t want to hear why batting practice is more important than games. They don’t want a lesson about how to bury their own egos or why they need to…

The Dark Knight of Gotham, aka Matt Harvey, has been on fire all season, and he should be your top choice for a pitcher in DraftKings lineups Friday. Harvey and the surprising New York Mets host the Washington Nationals in what figures to be a pitchers’ duel. Opposing Harvey for the Nats will be Max Scherzer. We’re likely looking at two candidates for the National League Cy Young Award…

By Michael Salfino Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Evan Longoria is one of our daily fantasy plays because of his strong track record against Orioles starter Chris Tillman. Reuters The Methodology: As hard as it is to project a player’s performance in any given season, projecting his performance on any single day is even more difficult. Daily fantasy baseball is all about trying to maximize each day’s matchups using historic batter…

Yesterday the Baltimore Orioles and the Chicago White Sox played the first game in MLB history without fans, who were barred from attending. It was an odd two hours and three minutes of mostly silent sports, as though the contest was part of a videogame instead of, y’know, part of multibillion dollar league. The athletes for the most part kept straight faces, though there was no denying that the weirdness…

The Baltimore Orioles played against the Chicago White Sox in an empty stadium today. The Orioles won, but no one was there to cheer. The head of Major League Baseball Robert D. Manfred decided this week that it would be safer for fans that the game proceed without spectators in the stands, and the game made history for being the first ever closed to the public. How did we…

This should have been a Bill Veeck stunt, the idea of an owner with the imagination of a stoned college freshman. What if they played a baseball game in front of no one, man? It should have been a stunt, a lark, something to break up the tedium of the 162-game season. It was not. Orioles announcer Gary Thorne quickly brought some gravity. This is one of…

As the Baltimore Orioles took the field Wednesday in front of empty stands at Camden Yards, they also took a dubious distinction away from the Worcester Worcesters, a long-defunct franchise that for 133 years held the title for lowest paid attendance at a major league game. It’s not that the Orioles couldn’t sell tickets for their tilt against the Chicago White Sox. The team decided that the game shouldn’t draw…

After three games of offensive gluttony to open the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference baseball tournament, one pitcher decided to settle things down — Millersville sophomore Brandon Miller. Miller fired a two-hit shutout with a career-high 12 strikeouts Wednesday night to lead the Marauders past California (Pa.) 8-0 in an opening-round game at Kelly Automotive Park in Butler. Armed with a 90-mph fastball, the 6-4, 195-pound right-hander from Ephrata took a no-hitter…
