Let’s be honest… baseball can be boring. On average, there are about 19 seconds between every pitch, which drives some people insane. When watching a game on TV, fans want to see action! But if there are only three pitches per minute, they begin to lose patience. In 2013 Andrew Daynes created an app named [...]
Sabermetrics have become a major part of the game, primarily since Billy Beane based his team off the idea in the early 2000’s.

For Mets fans, the majority of the offseason was spent talking trade rumors. Names were thrown out on the trade block such as Ike Davis, Lucas Duda, Daniel Murphy, and Ruben Tejada.

The curse of the Billy Goat and the Curse of the Bambino are two of the best-known curses in all of baseball. But could there now be yet another curse on the rise? Indeed, there is.

These past few months have been extremely hard on Mets first baseman Ike Davis. The 26 year old entered last season with high hopes, and slumped for a majority of the season. He got no love from Mets fans, and he became the laughingstock of the team. In total, he hit .205/.336/.334, with nine homeruns, [...]
On January 14, 2014, Bud Selig told espn.com that he is 100% certain that he will retire after the 2014 season. This is a huge loss for baseball, as Selig has held the spot of Commissioner since 1998 and has provided the game with things such as advanced drug tests, peace between the MLB and [...]
