    WSJ Looks at Why Kids Are Abandoning Baseball

    No mercy rule, we do not keep score at that level, and you always switch if the other team bats around. Yeah one game, the ringers were shitty about it (teasing the kids that couldn't hit).

    WSJ Looks at Why Kids Are Abandoning Baseball

    I coached a local Little League team last year, it had my daughter and a bunch of other kids half boys, half girls, some with minor physical disabilities, ages 6-8. It was the first level up from T-Ball: no experience necessary, coach pitch, kids could still use the T if they weren't making...

    Report: This is Don Orsillo's last season

      And had a basically meteoric rise through broadcasting. He was a Sea Dogs broadcaster (intern?) for a single season and after a few weeks it was obvious he was a talent.

    Unusual plays

      Whole game was bizarre, Mets had their all time best game in Home Runs and Extra Base Hits too.

    Jeter: The Final Weekend

      I believe that too. Grew up a Mets fan, in a Yankee family, adopted the Sox after moving to NE and waiting a few years. For all the Yankee-hate I have I still like The Captain, he always played the game well, never was juiced as far as I can tell, never got involved in come big off-field...

    9/7 MiLB Gameday: EL Semifinals, Game 5

      At least one takeaway is that the team seemed to revitalize a sagging fan base. it has been a few years of dismal teams, pulling almost 3k against the Pats first game during the school year is still pretty good.

    9/7 MiLB Gameday: EL Semifinals, Game 5

    Does anyone know why he pulled Scott in the 9th? Even though he gave up a hit, he was pitching very well and there was one out to go.

    Jeter ceremony this Sunday, number being retired?

      I'm really hoping for a massive 'Deeeeerrreeekkkk' chant for his last game. One last goodbye from Fenway.

    Rate the Broadcasts: Baseball

    Mets are the best outside of Scully. I think the combination of a lifetime fan turned professional tv/radio guy (Cohen), plus a offense/defense guy (Hernandez), plus a very smart pitcher (Darling) covers all aspects of the game well. And they have been together long enough by this point to have...

    5/10 MiLB Gameday: Without Mookie?

      You'd think they would give him an off day on the road. Lots of interest in Portland.

    Ignoring the design, the content is the worst of internet idle timewasting already-linked-from-reddit junk. Better when the site had real news.

    MLB Local TV Announcer Rankings (voted on by fans)

      The only issue is that they are really best when it is all three. I don't think it is nearly as good a booth when it is only Gary + 1.
