Tuesday, May 20, 2008Prospects or suspects (Part 2)Posted by Bryan TsaoRich Lederer runs down some more slow starting prospects. At this point, it's probably too soon to draw strong conclusions from stat lines, but it's nonetheless always great to have more coverage of prospects, especially from sharp baseball minds like Rich's. Fenway and no-hittersPosted by Bryan TsaoThe way Joe Posnanski writes it's better than being there. The firing that wasn’tPosted by Bryan TsaoBrew Crew Ball does a great job of breaking down how the "Ned Yost is fired" story got started. To briefly summarize the great investigative work done there, a reporter for the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel read an apparently bogus rumor on a random blog that gets no traffic, and then blogged about it himself on his Journal-Sentinel blog.

This probably isn't an original thought, but I bet that accounts for a lot of the backlash against blogs in the so-called mainstream media—the people in the mainstream media today have a hard time distinguishing "good" blogs from "bad" blogs.

Best Record MiscellaniesPosted by Brandon IsleibIn the wild-card era, 66 percent of all teams that have had the best record in their league on any day from May 1 onward have made the playoffs. When the Rays tied the Angels on May 13 for best AL record, it marked the earliest time in the wild-card era that all the teams leading a league after May 1 could not make the playoffs (the other two teams are the A's and Red Sox; because of division alignment, they can't all make it). It's shaping up to be quite a wild year. Click for more... |
