Entering the road series with the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field, the Pythagorean theorem had the Miami Marlins at 55-54 and competing for their first ever National League East division title. Instead, Miami was in last place of the division with a 47-62 record. The Pythagorean theorem predicts a team’s expected record based on the number […]
While the very concept of the All-Star Game may seem outdated, MLB clearly has the best of the four major sports. It’s been six years since I last attended the MLB All-Star Game. It’s the type of event that takes a place like Cincinnati and turns it into a happening place. An argument could be […]
Trevor Rogers is the most deserving among the Miami Marlins to be named a National League All-Star but he should not be the only one. When a team like the Marlins is 12 games under .500 this late into the season, it’s understandable for them to only have the mandatory one rep, but the fact […]
“Hold on, Jazz is starting his thing.” Miami Marlins manager Don Mattingly said that about rookie second baseman Jazz Chisholm on Friday after he hit a triple to spark a three-run rally in a 6-4 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays.

No other sport has what baseball has. Football is religion, basketball is popular and hockey is just intense but baseball is beautiful Only baseball gives you that one moment where everything can go one way or the other. Think of a situation in the card game “war.” You reach a stalemate with two cards of […]
The Miami Hurricanes are 2-0 after a dominating 47-34 victory on the road against Louisville. Most of the credit for this hot start will go to the newly added quarterback D’Eriq King, who thew for 325 yards and three touchdowns on 18-of-30 passing.
