Market is pitching dominant once again

It appears that, once again, pitching is at an extreme premium in this league.  It’s showing.  Jake Wayne looks like he’s well on his way to making 40+ million a season for the first time in Outahere history, for better or for worse.  Mike Brown, who had a 5.18 ERA last year and a 4.65 career [...]

Q&A with Cubs GM SanjiWatsuki

Also known as “Midnight Talk With Sanji”, the Cubs GM SanjiWatsuki was nice enough to sit down with me early today to speak about the Cubs, scouting, and Oscar Delu, amongst other things.

OSR: Thanks for taking the time to answer a few questions for the OSR, Sanji.
Sanji:It’s not like I have anything better to do.

OSR: [...]

Seattle’s Liam McGurk hits for cycle

In what has been a dismal season for the Seattle Mariners, who currently sit at 57-96, slugger Liam McGurk gave Mariner fans something to smile about on September 20th vs. Boston, when he went 4-6, with a single, double, triple, and a home run. One of the rarest plays in baseball, McGurk’s historical night is the [...]

Curt Savage can hit

The Cubs picked up flame thrower Curt Savage this off-season in an attempt to revive the Curt Savage of 2015-2016, when he posted a 3.80 and a 2.99 ERA, while striking out over 9 batters per 9 innings. Maybe he hasn’t been the Curt Savage of old – his ERA currently sits at 5.03 – but [...]

2020 season has come to a close

Tonight, the Baltimore Orioles defeated the Washington Nationals in an epic 7-game series, one in which the Nationals once lead 3-0. It’s Baltimore’s first championship since 2012, when they also came back from 3-0. Fun stuff, and congratulations to the Orioles.

And even more fun, this means that the offseason is officially upon us, along with free [...]
