You don’t find many pitchers wear uniform number three. But then again, Tommy Wilson doesn’t have a normal baseball story. After putting up a 1.37 ERA as a high school senior with 76 Ks in 59.1 IP, Wilson didn’t pitch…
People like to complain. As long as the complaints are legitimate, that’s okay. The issue is when some people are so eager to complain that they throw all reason and judgment out the window. Then it’s just sport. And if…
Those who read my blog posts will remember that I try not to be so “Doom and Gloom” about the prospects. I try to focus on the good and let the bad sort itself out in its own time. I’ve…
How many people, besides me and Brian, tune in to see the results of each minor league outing? My guess is that a few of you check in from time to time but that most readers don’t dive into each…

Spring Training is a week away from ending and few positions remain hanging in the balance. Will the Mets management allow the fans to force them into starting Pete Alonso’s clock early? Probably not. Who will make up the back…
Whether it’s simply a new season, his sleep apnea treatment or the competition of fighting off Pete Alonso, one cannot ignore the fact that Dominic Smith is relevant for the first time in what seems like a long time. As…
