The Bemidji State Beavers scored 20 runs against in-state rival Minnesota State on Saturday night, and they still got mercy-ruled in the eighth inning. That’s because Minnesota State scored an insane 41 runs of their own in what was surely a head-turning contest. The box score from this game is bananas. Minnesota State put up the 41 runs on just 35 hits, aided by six Bemidji errors. The Mavericks scored…

Before filling out a daily fantasy baseball lineup on Sunday, take all the batting averages from MLB‘s opening week and throw them out the window. OK, don’t actually do that. That will destroy your computer, tablet or cell phone. Still, don’t get bogged down in microscopic sample sizes when evaluating the day’s position players. Four or five games of data tells us virtually nothing. Rather than being the fool…

facebook twitter googleplus tumblr pinterest This isn’t what anyone would call a ‘pitchers’ duel’.  On Saturday night, the seventh-ranked Minnesota State baseball team demolished Bemidji State by 21 runs in a Division II tilt. That’s an abnormally large margin of victory in baseball, but what was even more abnormal was the fact that Bemidji State scored 20 runs of their own.  MORE: Martinez, Gomes injured in Tigers/Indians | Mets’ Mejia suspended 80 games  Mavs break…

A full day of action creates a lot of opportunity to make some money in daily fantasy baseball, but you have to make sure you grab the right players for your team. With so many top pitchers available, you shouldn’t be afraid of spending a high percentage of your budget on the big names while saving money elsewhere.

Fantasy players are obsessed with what’s next. Rosters are littered with closers-in-waiting, and businesses have been built on the scouting and analysis of the game’s best prospects. But no “next” takes hold of a fantasy player stronger than the preoccupation with finding the new version of an out-of-nowhere breakout. In 2014, there were a host of unexpected fantasy surges — J.D. Martinez, Carlos Carrasco, Michael Brantley, Corey Kluber, Josh Harrison,…

Sad Torii.(Photo: AP) In late April of 2006, the Twins visited Comerica Park in Detroit for a three-game series and were outscored 33-1. They would go on to win the AL Central. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say the same thing isn’t gonna happen in 2015. The Twins just opened the season with a three-game series in which they were outscored 22-1. Only an error by Tiger…

Baseball is slow, low-scoring and quiet—the opposite of the fast, loud and violent game of football. But is baseball really dying in the shadow of its flashier rival? While football is undoubtedly very popular, the numbers show that the demise of the sport known as the national pastime has been considerably exaggerated. Since it is spring…

If there’s one thing you can always count on a baseball player in a high-stress situation to be, it’s a sensitive weenie. Allow me to direct your attention to this moment, from yesterday’s game between the Giants and Padres. After the first pitch of his at-bat, Giants outfielder Angel Pagan noticed a piece of gum sitting in the batter’s box, and so he absentmindedly tossed the gum in Padres catcher…

Trevor Bauer was once a can’t miss pitcher prospect that I acquired in a trade proposed to me along with Mike Trout for Carlos Gonzalez in a keeper league. Bauer, who made his debut with the Diamondbacks later that year (2012), struggled with control and other issues and was traded to Cleveland. He’s now Cleveland’s No. 3 starter and still just 24 with loads of potential. His 2015 debut featured…
