Prime Time Baseball

There is so much going on in the sport of baseball every day, but some stories are not as memorable as others. As any casual fan would say, “not every game counts since it’s 162 games.” In hindsight, they aren’t wrong, but they aren’t also correct. Baseball is an uphill battle to be the team waiving the flag at the end of the day, and for 29 teams, that simply is a fantasy that lives in their…

It feels like a yearly disappointment as a Mets fan that at least once or twice, or 20 times a season, we deal with a horrible and painful losing streak. Well, after the past four games, all I can say is wake up, New York! It’s a shame that after President of Operations David Stearns decided to pivot from one of the best run-producing teams in the National League to a team focused on run…

No, the title is not incorrect, and no, I am not off my marbles. The 2026 Colorado Rockies are a good team, led by the back end of their pitching staff. A pitching staff led by a bunch of nobodies and washed-up players has seemingly put the Rockies on the right foot forward to start the season. A bullpen of Jimmy Herget, Juan Mejia, Brennan Bernardino, Jaden Hill, and converted starter to closer…

The Mets announce today they have brought in former MLB OF and DH, JD Martinez to join their front office as a special advisor to David Stearns. A bit unusual for the Mets, given their current stance on not bringing back former players but this time around it’s not to play but to provide insight in the front office and help develop the stars on the field. JD Martinez joins Carlos Beltran and…

What a successful opening day! Opening day is among the most exciting and hyped days in all of sports. It is a day after long months of awaiting your favorite team to show out after months of the offseason to prove and show themselves. For the Mets, they definitely did that. After a hectic offseason of saying goodbye to fan favorites, Jeff McNeil, Pete Alonso, Brandon Nimmo, and Edwin Diaz. It…

It has come down to the final game of the World Baseball Classic. The most hyped international baseball tournament has come down to two remaining teams—Venezuela vs. the United States. With MLB Opening Day just around the corner, this will be a matchup for the ages with hopefully a lot of action and many close calls. These two powerhouse teams have proven so much during this tournament as to why…

Every three years, MLB players set their divisions aside to represent their countries in a two-week tournament where the best nation wins it all. The World Baseball Classic is full of epic moments. It is a time when fierce rivals suddenly wear the same jersey and fight for the same flag. Fans who normally root against certain players now find themselves cheering for the same team. Yet the line is…

Breaking news, left fielder Jurickson Profar was suspended today for 162 games after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs). This comes after Profar was suspended for 80 games last year for doing the same thing when he tested positive on March 31st for a banned substance called chorionic gonadotropin. A naturally produced hormone for women during pregnancy is used to produce…

If the Mets did not miss out on Kyle Tucker last offseason, I don’t think the Mets would really be having this conversation about who will play right field this season. We have reached March, and now it is up for discussion about who will suit up for the team on opening day. There are a lot of options, but nothing is concrete; many of the choices are waiver pickups, minor league signings, or…

With March just around the corner and Opening day a little under 4 weeks away it is time to start thinking beyond the realms of possibilities for some of MLB’s best prospects. It is time to know their names, Nolan McLean (left) and Carson Benge (right) who are the Mets number one and two prospects and two of the best in the minor leagues. Once former collegiate teammates at Oklahoma State…

As the title states, welcome back #35. It has been a long time coming for Justin Verlander, who at age 43 is set to return to Detroit on a one-year contract after spending the last 9 years away from the team that drafted him. Verlander also spent time with the New York Mets and San Francisco Giants before returning to the team that started it all. It is a bittersweet moment and a complete…

Take a bow, Andruw Jones, on making it to the Hall of Fame. After such a long time on the ballot, you have finally entered baseball immortality and joined another great Hall of Fame center fielder, Carlos Beltrán. They represent the only pair of primary center fielders to enter the Hall of Fame together. In the last 45 years, the only other primary center fielders to enter were Ken Griffey Jr. in…

The New York Mets made the trade to acquire center fielder Luis Robert Jr. from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for Luis Angel Acuña and RHP Truman Pauley. The White Sox finally pull the trigger on trading away their last piece from their 2021 season by trading away Luis Robert Jr. Although he has been struggling the past two seasons and hitting below league average, his glove is still amazing…

Wow, what a day for Mets fans! Something the Mets needed desperately for years, they finally get it: a formidable and proven ace with a deep track record of winning games. The starter comes from none other than the Milwaukee Brewers, who are known to constantly churn out talented pitchers. Last night it became official when the two teams agreed to a deal that sent RHP Freddy Peralta and RHP…
