One of the criticisms of the recent Mets was that they were too reliant on the HR ball for offense. Looking at Spring Training numbers, we see that they are tied for 16th with 26 HR. Your first thought may…
I don’t know if today’s game is being televised but I wanted to test the chat software out, regardless. This is what we used last year. Earlier, they told me that it was now a paid service but it let…

Does memory need outside confirmation to be meaningful?
A lot has been made about how injuries to two infielders has made it more likely for Pete Alonso and J.D. Davis to make the club. But it seems that not many people are talking about another direct beneficiary and…
