I certainly wouldn’t consider it, but there’s a fun discussion over at Chop-n-Change this afternoon regarding whether the Braves should trade Jair Jurrjens. To be fair, I’m viewing the notion of trading Jurrjens as a red herring. The real conversation is what the Braves (or any team in their position) do when they have some […]

Was the story from Ken Burns’ baseball true? Was Vance impossible to hit on a Monday in Brooklyn?

Red Sox 4, Yankees 1: Everyone will be talking about this one today because of Ellsbury stealing home. And I suppose it was a pretty neat trick. Just worth noting, though, that 11 guys did it twice in a game, that the single season record — held by Ty Cobb — is 8, and the […]
