I have no problem adding another reliever, in [...]

By Steve Keane at 16 June, 2010, 12:50 pm
I guess we are so used to seeing an authoritarian pitcher in Johan Santana that when he’s not striking out guys at a 9K per game clip or watch that walk rate creep up last three years we ask “Have we seen that last of Dominant Johan† when we should be asking “are we watching [...]

While the baseball world was drooling over the debut of Stephen Strasburg, and let me say, all joking aside Strasburg’ pitching was mesmerizing, but there was another story of strapping young men playing ball in Flushing.

JOSE REYES SCRATCHED FROM TODAY’S GAME
By Steve Keane at 4 March, 2010, 10:04 am
