The NL West’s Biggest Needs

1. Los Angeles Dodgers – Biggest Need: Shed Some Dead Weight The Los Angeles Dodgers ended up being my biggest shock in 2018. You might be wondering how the hell a team with the biggest payroll in baseball could shock me by reaching the World Series. Truth be told that’s because I had little faith in […]

The AL Central’s Biggest Needs

1. Cleveland Indians – Biggest Need: Addition By Addition You know the old adage “addition by subtraction”, such nonsense should not apply to the Cleveland Indians in the offseason. The logic is fairly sound I suppose, regardless of how much talent you shed there’s still a legitimate opportunity for you to win your division because of […]

The NL Central’s Biggest Needs

1. Milwaukee Brewers Biggest Needs: Starters & Stoppers The Milwaukee Brewers very well might have been my personal favorite surprise of 2018, dating all the way back to the offseason. As any long-time cheese head can attest, the greatest plight of the franchise has always been their small-market mentality. Time and again the team builds up […]

The AL Easts’ Biggest Needs

1. Boston Red Sox – Biggest Need: Keep Kimbrel The Boston Red Sox are World Series Champions in 2018. I never in my life thought I’d feel so comfortable saying that, but I suppose I can respect their all-time team status and it does help that my pride as a sports analyst was on the line […]

The NL Easts’ Biggest Needs

$20 to the reader who can explain to me how in the world the National League East was both the worst and most interesting division in baseball in 2018. I mean this should have been a painfully dry year for the East in the Senior Circuit, with the Nationals’ big bankroll leading to another monotonous […]

Money-Makin’ Manny

For those of you who tune into The No Bull Just Ball Podcast, you’d know that I never really had much faith in the Los Angeles Dodgers this Postseason. Something about a collection of legitimate All-Stars barely scraping past the Colorado Rockies for the NL West divisional crown was definitely a red flag for me. […]

The Bryce Is Right?

First and foremost let me apologize in advance for the incredibly cliche and soon to be way over used title to this post. But hey in about a month’s time when the former number one overall pick of the 2010 draft inks his inevitably ridiculous contract and ESPN/Bleacher Report/Daily News/Buzzfeed (idk do they do sports […]

Goodnight, San Antonio

When you grow up bearing witness to something special it almost becomes common place knowledge to you. Think about the generation who grew up with Michael Jackson, those albums, while spectacular, were almost perceived as a given. How about all of us who’ve never known an internet-less world, sure we enjoy it, but how often […]

The 5 Teams You’ve Gotta Watch

I genuinely cannot believe it’s almost September already. I mean seriously, maybe it’s this full-time employment nonsense, but this summer seemed to fly by at an alarmingly quick rate. Now I don’t know about the rest of you, but I don’t typically use days on a calendar to measure where we are in the year. […]

The Legacy of Eli

Year 15. Believe it or not, that’s where we’re at now. That means Eli Manning has now been at the helm of the New York Football Giants for longer than any other quarterback in the franchise’s lengthy history. It isn’t hard to imagine that entering his age 37 season, Eli is far closer to the […]
