I know, I know…this is over a week late but there are 162 games. I think it’s ok to post these #DrePredictions a week late. And besides, I’m still buzzing from the blackout for the Buccos on Opening Day! Yes, I was in attendance as I was not missing the return of the prodigal sonContinueContinue reading “MLB Predictions 2023”

The Houston Astros are completely BONKERS
This situation continues to get crazier and crazier and the Astros are starting to look like complete BAFOONS. At one point in my baseball fandom, I liked the Astros. I was a big fan of Bregman, Altuve, Correa and a few of the other guys. But after this latest news I can’t really even haveContinueContinue reading “The Houston Astros are completely BONKERS”
Catch Up on a Crazy Week of MLB News in One Tweet
Typically, MLB offseasons are pretty bland. That was not the case this past week. A scandal can go a long way in helping with that. Last Monday, commissioner Rob Manfred handed down the punishment to the Astros and it was a doozy. First and second round draft picks the next two years, a $5 millionContinueContinue reading “Catch Up on a Crazy Week of MLB News in One Tweet”
MLB disciplines the Houston Astros for cheating scandal
The discipline has been handed down for the Houston Astros regarding the cheating scandal that has surrounded their organization and it isn’t pretty. On Monday, ESPN’s Jeff Passan announced that Houston Astros General Manager Jeff Luhnow and manager AJ Hinch were suspended for one year after the MLB found evidence that they had used technologyContinueContinue reading “MLB disciplines the Houston Astros for cheating scandal”

But I have some thoughts to share… I am all forContinueContinue reading “Houston, They Have A Problem”
Keaton’s Response to the Nationals
19-31! That was the Nationals record. On May 23rd, talk about a miracle comeback of a season. Dave Martinez was on the verge of being the first manger fired nearing the end of May. Now here we sit on Oct. 31st with the Washington Nationals first time World Series Champions. The team that did notContinueContinue reading “Keaton’s Response to the Nationals”
Yu Darvish has Won the World Series!
I don’t think there is a much more polarizing position in sports than the Pitcher in baseball. There are similar that travel from sport to sport that have a position that’s, well..just different. Football has Quarterbacks, Hockey and Soccer have Goalies and even Volleyball has that super weird position where they get to wear aContinueContinue reading “Yu Darvish has Won the World Series!”
My World Series Prediction
After the juiced ball dominated the regular season, it seems ironically fitting that the World Series will be decided on the mound. The league’s two hottest teams face off in a highly anticipated Fall Classic kicking off Tuesday night. Statistically speaking, the Astros offense rivals that of the 1927 Yankees and their pitching staff isContinueContinue reading “My World Series Prediction”
The Never Ending Curse
Pirates fans have had a hell of a 2019. A season with so many expectations just went completely wrong. This was a team that some (including myself) believed could make it to the playoffs. Not only did they not even get close, but they finished with the 7th worst record in the majors at 69-93.ContinueContinue reading “The Never Ending Curse”
