Since Brad Penny’s best this season seems to be six innings, three earned. Then that is what I expect from him. I just hope that he doesn’t fare worse. It is a critical game, in terms of the Wild Card, so let’s get a...

So far is seems that way. Keith Law responded to a question in his chat yesterday, asking whether or not Buchholz’s Groundball percentage is real or not. Law’s response: “I only saw one outing but I could believe it. His arm slot was a little lower...

As much of the baseball world knows, John Smoltz refused his assignment to minors yesterday, effectively ending his short career with the Red Sox. Smoltz’s immediate future is still in the Sox hands, as they still must choose to release or trade him. According...
