MMQB: It’s Springer’s World, we’re just living in it
The danger of beginning to write a post on Friday for a Monday delivery is that the world can turn over in 3 days in the majors. Like George Springer going 0 for 4 with 2 strikeouts on Friday night. But even if George goes hitless (he avoided this with 2 hits on Sunday) for…

Free Blog Weekend: Best part of being worst, Springer and All Stars
It’s a Free Blog Weekend, and playing the part of Chipalatta is his understudy, Brian Todd. I know, I’m disappointed too. But Chip’s travelling for work, so you get me. Quit bellyaching.

I’ll get it started with a few thoughts, but would like to hear…

Everything has changed. Nothing has changed. Time to reforecast?
Everything has changed. Nothing has changed. Most every organization worth its salt reforecasts at some point. Personnel. Budget. Direction. Even the stock market corrects itself from time to time. Perhaps it’s time for diehard Astros’ fans to consider a reforecast of the 2014 season. Have you noticed in recent days — even weeks now —…
