5 things you can do to catch up on the 2022 season

March 31, 2022 Thomas Pringle Baseball, Beginner's Guide, Learning to Baseball, Opinion

Each year I begin the season staring at Fangraphs (other baseball reference sites are available), wondering where all my favourite baseballists have moved to. I wonder which team will be winning 100-games and which team will be floundering at the

Los Angeles Dodgers 2022 Team Profile: Part 1 – Expectations

March 30, 2022 Freddie Law-Keen Baseball, Team Contributors

San Francisco Giants One to Watch in 2022: Joc Pederson

March 26, 2022 GavGavinGavlaar Baseball, Opinion

In a bizarre move during the last offseason, the Cubs replaced Kyle Schwarber in their lineup with, statistically, his twin, Joc Pederson. The deal worked out well for both. Schwarber negotiated himself to secure a four-year, $79 million deal with

Baltimore Orioles One to Watch in 2022: Jorge Mateo

March 26, 2022 GavGavinGavlaar Baseball, Opinion

Is the potential move to Las Vegas worth the gamble?

March 23, 2022 Brett Walker Baseball, Team Contributors

It’s starting look more likely that the Oakland Athletics aren’t going to be in Oakland for much longer; last week, the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission’s Seaport Planning Advisory Committee voted 5-4-1 against removing port priority use at
