Guardians player Harassed

Recently the Cleveland Guardians played against the New York Yankees. Outfielder, Myles Straw had made a few good plays and eventually went down after a good catch and the trainers had to come out onto the field and check if he was injured or not. The fans from the Yankees were talking crap to him the entire time which is to be expected. The part that is not expected and truly just wrong is that the fans near by Myles all started throwing beers and other trash onto the field trying to hit the outfielder. This is completely unacceptable behavior by these fans and should never be accepted or welcomed in any stadium in the United States. Straw continued after the game to say "its the worst fan base on the planet." These are pretty strong words coming from a professional athlete but he for sure is not in the wrong for having such an opinion.

Kershaw pulled

Clayton Kershaw had a perfect game recently through seven complete innings. This means he had not given up a single run, walk, hit, and or error through seven complete innings. The manager made the pitching change in the seventh inning going into the eighth which has historically been a very questionable move by a pitching coach and or manager. I mean why pull the guy if you are truly trying to win a baseball game? Kershaw though, was fine with the coaches decision. His reasoning is that he knows he didn't get all the pre season pitching he needed to due to the MLB lockout and the shortened spring training season which I would have to agree with. There is no reason to get your star player hurt from throwing too many pitches so early in the season.

Witt Jr makes his debut for the Royals! Bobby Whitt Jr was a class of 2019 high school graduate and has already made it and is starting for a big league roster. Which is absolutely incredible due to the short amount of time he has actually spent in the minor leagues. I actually got to see Bobby play when I was 15 in Georgia because he was in the same tournament as me. It was a cool experience he was extremely talented and I hope to compete with or against him someday in the future.

Baseball is back! This past week Major League Baseball got started back up and fans are super excited for the new year. I am a Washington Nationals fan and things are not looking too great for us this year as we got rid of some of our best players. This year we are probably going to get beat consistently by the New York Mets because they have the two best pitchers in baseball, Jacob Degrom and Max Scherzer. I hope the Nationals do well but I don’t think the team will make it out of the division.

Othani #1?

Every year the major leagues comes out with player rankings of the top 100 players in baseball currently playing. This list includes all players and positions but obviously all of the top 100 players are in the major leagues. This year at the top of the list is the Angel's Shohei Othani who is just like the modern era Babe Ruth who is commonly regarded to as the best baseball player of all time. The reason Othani is getting this recognition is because he is not only a pitcher but also a starting outfielder that hits many homeruns. I think he is very good but I do not think he deserves the #1 spot yet I still think his teammate, Mike Trout, is the best player in baseball.

Twin Aces down in NY

This year the mets have an absolutely loaded pitching staff with Jacob Degrom and Max Scherezer both in the same starting rotation. These two are arguably the best pitchers right now in baseball but things are looking gloomy so far early in spring training. Jacob Degrom went down with a shoulder injury and needs surgery which is awful news. Scherezer on the other hand does not need surgery but is having issues with his hamstring causing him to miss games.

No Deal!

Rob Manfred and the Major League Baseball Player's Association ended up not coming to a close on the deal between players and owners after many thought the deal would be closed. Manfred, the owner of Major League Baseball, rejected the Player's Association deal and was even smiling on the stage during his press conference after he had shot the deal down. His veto was a very important decision because now the Major Leagues is going to have to cancel regular season games and also are going to have to modify spring training because this deal will lock them out passed the dates when they were originally supposed to get started. In my opinion this is very sad and I hope that they can get something worked out soon.

MLB Lockout pt 2

The MLB lockout continues as the players and owners have not come to an agreement yet about the deal. Major League baseball owners and players are just not at the same page at the moment. The reason I say this is because the players want a piece of baseball’s massive revenue because it has been rapidly increasing. The owners on the other hand do not want to pay more because that is making them and the actual ball club a lot more money and giving them the option to spend more on other players. Personally, I think the players that deserve the money should be paid it and by this I mean the multi-million dollar deals and owners should not resent that because the players are the ones generating revenue at the end of the day.

MLB Lockout

Mentioned in the previous blog was the MLB lockout and some of the things that have been going on. More specifically about the revenue in baseball increasing a lot the players want a slice of all that new money coming in. Just about two-thirds of major league baseball players make under a million dollars a year from salary and with the leagues revenue they think they deserve to be paid more. The league minimum is $570,000 a year which is more than enough money but they just want a fair cut of the revenue. The reason is because owners have been making more money than ever.

Sport Change

Since the NFL season has come to a conclusion with the Super Bowl, I will switch to talking about other sports and more specifically baseball. One interesting thing though is that Major League Baseball is currently in a “lockout” to where if players and owners do not come to agreements about salaries and various other disagreements there will be no baseball on for opening day. In December 2021 a deal between the players and owners had expired. So they must come up with new terms for the deal but the players want change from the last deal because they see some of them as unfair based on how the revenue has increased.

Superbowl

Superbowl LVI took place in SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Los Angeles Rams. As I predicted in a prior blog the Rams took the victory in a great game and the score was 23-20. Both teams had a great year but I was most impressed by a second year Joe Burrow and how he led the Bengals to such a great season, nearly winning the super bowl despite being such a young player. The Rams though put together a very solid team this year, in my opinion they expected to win but next year I do not think that the Rams will have the same success.

NFL Playoffs

The NFC title matchup this weekend will be very exciting and I think it is going to be a shootout. Both the Rams and 49′ers have had very good seasons and do not look to end it this week. I think that the 49′ers have much more potential as a team but I do not think that they will come out on top. The Rams have built an absolute powerhouse of a team and they expect to win the super bowl this year. I think the Rams will win because Matthew Stafford is a veteran quarterback and their defensive front is unreal and will be very hard to score on.

NFL playoffs

This past weekend was another exciting week of football. This upcoming week though is even more exciting with a matchup between Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes for the AFC title. Mahomes and the Chiefs started out slowly this year and were not looking like the Chiefs we have seen over the past few years but they caught fire and are now 12-5 and cannot seem to be beaten. Joe Burrow though has emerged as a very tough Quarterback and has made the Bengals a very tough team to beat. I think that the Chiefs will come out victorious but I do think that it will be a great game.

Bauer for NL Cy Young

This years Cy young award winners for this years season have finally been crowned. This season in the National League Trevor Bauer of the Cincinnati Reds took this years award. With an incredible year boasting a 1.73 ERA with a 0.159 batting average against which is incredible for a 60 game season. After a bad season last year where he posted a near seven earned runs per nine innings this year he turned it around and absolutely shined on the field.

Dodgers take the Pennant

This year finally after four years of heart breaking ends, the Los Angeles Dodgers won the 2020 Major League World Series. In my opinion the dodgers were more than due to win a World Series. The talent up and down the line up with some of the games best young players was bound to have a break out season. Not very often in baseball does the powerhouse come out victorious it always feels like a team comes out of no where and blows all predictions away and play out of their mind good. I am very glad that Clayton Kershaw pitched as well as he did this post season. He is one of this generations greats and he came through all post season for the Dodgers and played a key role at why they won this year. I am happy for the Dodgers and their win because they play the game the right way and I hope they all enjoy the title.

Dodgers complete the comeback!

In this years National League Championship Series the Atlanta Braves were looking great and got off to a hot 3-0 lead against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Personally I thought things were looking gloomy for the Dodgers and the past few years they have made it deep but have not been able to pull off the World Series when their team has had more than enough talent to do so every year. This year though, it is hard to bypass the talent on their roster with some of the games best like Mookie Betts and Cody Bellinger. Their pitching staff is also very strong with guys like Clayton Kershaw and Walker Buehler. Kershaw is also proving many haters wrong this year because many people think that he chokes every post season but this year he has looked great so far in the post season. This years World Series is going to be very exciting between the Dodgers and the Rays, I look forward to seeing who comes out on top.
