We are in the dog days of Summer, but the light at the end of the tunnel is visible. There are only 78 days left until week one of the NFL regular season. OTAs are over and the dust of free agency is settling. So which teams can we expect to have the best group…
For what seems like an eternity now, Felix Hernandez has been the undisputed ace of the Mariners staff. Through the good(ish) seasons and the really bad ones, you could always count on King Felix being the one source of consistency on the Mariners roster. Until now. My inner Mariners fan hates me for writing this, but…
Hello and welcome to this week’s edition of Players I Can’t Pick Up! In this column, I take a look at some of the most added players of the week and give some reasons why they might not deserve a spot on your roster. I’ll also compare them to a player I’d rather own, whether they…
The Miami Marlins have a hidden gem stowed away behind home plate. J.T. Realmuto ranked third among all Major League Catchers in WAR last year, and did so very quietly. He’s not flashy. He doesn’t hit dingers like Mike Piazza or throw people out like Pudge Rodriguez. Realmuto knows who he is, and he plays…

Although the results Mariners fans were hoping for haven’t quite come to fruition, he’s still the right-handed specialist the lineup desperately needs. Eat, sleep, mash right-handed pitching.

It’s only a week until Nintendo’s traditional E3 “conference” and we could be in for a treat as they look to continue the success of their latest console-handheld hybrid, the Nintendo Switch. Super Mario Odyssey will surely be there in full force as one of their feature games, but what else will be shown off…
Just a few short years ago, the majority of MLS teams decided that Cristian Roldan wasn’t good enough to be selected in the first round, due to a poor showing at the college combine. Today, the Sounders faithful are thanking those teams every time Roldan steps onto the field. After a relatively calm rookie season…
Every season there seems to be a guy that bursts onto the scene. This season is no different. One of the biggest surprises so far this season is the explosive offense of the Cincinnati Reds and their shiny new toy in right field. We all knew Votto would be his usual, incredible self. We hoped…
Logan Morrison of the Tampa Bay Rays is tearing the cover off the ball this year. Through 51 games he has already matched his 2016 total with 14 bombs. I remember watching a young Logan Morrison when he was just a prospect with the Marlins, and I thought him and “Mike” Stanton were going to…

In a sea of injuries this year, one has reigned king. Before the year started, no one would have guessed that the most destructive of all injuries was the smallest. As I’m sure you’ve figured out by now, we’re going to be talking about the silent killer: the blister. Throughout the history of baseball, blisters…
