Today’s question is pretty straightforward. If you could choose one catcher for your big-league team, would it be Joe Mauer or Russell Martin?
Look, don’t talk to me about Victor Martinez, Brian McCann, or whoever else. They are fine catchers, but the guys I’m interested in are Mauer and Martin.
I have a slight preference for Mauer […]
I’m not a fan of the designated hitter rule. Either you’re out there playing or you’re not. That means if you’re a pitcher, you’re taking your turn at bat. Conversely, if you’re in the lineup, you’re taking the field.
The other thing that bugs me about the DH is this: Why does he have to hit […]
We’re looking for current and past stadiums here. And driving past or going on a tour without seeing a game doesn’t count. ;-)
I’ve been to four current California stadiums (all but PhoneCo) plus Candlestick and Tiger Stadium. That’s all? Yeah, I guess so. I’ve been to dozens of minor-league parks, but only six MLB stadiums. […]
Another week, another poll. This time I’m wondering whether you consider yourself sabermetrically inclined, “old school,” or both. Me? A little of each. As I’ve mentioned numerous times, I grew up reading Bill James. At the same time, I’m a romantic at heart.
Honestly I’ve never understood why there’s been such a disconnect between the two […]

Who stinks the most?

BallHype - What’s the Most You’ve Ever Paid to See a Big-League Ballgame?ballhype_story_widget_189953(false);
I think the most I’ve ever paid was about $80. I’ve sat in seats that probably cost more than that, but thanks to some very generous friends, I paid nothing. How’s about you?
What’s the most you’ve ever paid to see a big-league ballgame?
$51 […]
