One of the best books I read last year was The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach. The story revolves around a virtuosic Division III college shortstop named Henry Skrimshander, whose world begins to crumble when he gets a case of the yips and can no longer throw the ball to first base with any …

Last night during the Rockies game Troy Tulowitzki crushed a bomb…BOMB…to left center field. His blast landed on the railroad tracks in Minute Maid park and every time I see a home run land there I always think of Albert Pujols hitting his moon shot to about the same location against Brad Lidge in the …

Just when I think analytics are starting to make an impact because of shows like Clubhouse Confidential I hear Mitch Williams say that he would rather have Jose Valverde over Justin Verlander. His rationale? …

Baseball is a game designed to oppress those who play it. No other sport evokes as much failure from its participants, as even the greatest players in the game find themselves hanging their heads in defeat more often than they do basking in the glow of accomplishment. Playing in the major leagues isn’t like playing …

Over the next week I will preview the 2012 season for the Rockies position by position. There have been some fan favorites jettisoned from the team and some new faces (albeit longer in the tooth) who have jumped on board. Today we talk shortstop – and it will be short…so…STOP WHAT YOUR DOIN BECAUSE IM …
