Getaway Day – Be Thankful

February 26, 2021 by The Sports Fan Journal Leave a Comment

Mr. Getaway tends be a curmudgeon when he sees his favorite sport being raked over the coals for doing dumb s**t. Despite all of the negativity, however, the 2019 MLB season’s been fantastic. Yes, we can continue to talk about service time, Tim Anderson’s suspension and beanballs. We can talk about racist announcers. Let’s not. Let’s be thankful. Mr. Getaway has a lot to be … [Read more...] about Getaway Day – Be Thankful

Getaway Day – YouTube Classics (Vol. 1)

February 26, 2021 by The Sports Fan Journal Leave a Comment

And now for something I think you’ll really like. If there’s one thing Mr. Getaway’s obsessed with, it’s old sporting events on YouTube. A treasure trove of ephemera from days long gone, YouTube is the ultimate “yo, remember this?” Of course, that inherent feeling of nostalgia on the site stretches into sports. Growing up, Mr. Getaway could remember recording games on VHS. … [Read more...] about Getaway Day – YouTube Classics (Vol. 1)

Getaway Day – Bill Buckner Didn’t Need ‘Forgiveness’

February 26, 2021 by The Sports Fan Journal Leave a Comment

Two thousand seven hundred and fifteen hits. A 22-year career. One of only five baseball players to play in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. He embodied the cliche of a hard-nosed, gritty player who combined talent with hard work. He played hurt, he didn’t complain and teammates loved him. Bill Buckner died in Boise, Idaho on Memorial Day at the age of sixty-nine after a … [Read more...] about Getaway Day – Bill Buckner Didn’t Need ‘Forgiveness’

Getaway Day – Maybe The Old Heads Have A Point?

February 26, 2021 by The Sports Fan Journal Leave a Comment

There’s no question that Major League Baseball players are more talented than ever before. Pitchers throw harder than ever before. Batters hit harder than ever before. Balls are leaving the yard more often than ever before. However, the game has become less watchable than ever. This isn’t a sentiment shared just by casual fans. It’s a sentiment shared by die-hard fans and … [Read more...] about Getaway Day – Maybe The Old Heads Have A Point?

Summer Reading: Reliving A Crazy Day At Wrigley Field During A Crazy Time In Baseball

February 26, 2021 by The Sports Fan Journal Leave a Comment

Ten innings. 45 runs. 50 hits. 12-run leads evaporating while records were falling like dominoes. Hitters salivating over their next trip to the plate as the teams parade through the lineup, while pitchers wonder what they can do to thwart the onslaught. All of it added up to a very loud reminder that there’s no such thing as an ordinary day at the ballpark. “We’ve seen a lot … [Read more...] about Summer Reading: Reliving A Crazy Day At Wrigley Field During A Crazy Time In Baseball

Cubs: Kris Bryant got a text saying he’d been traded to the Mets

February 26, 2021 by Cubbies Crib Leave a Comment

Trade rumors aren’t anything new to Kris Bryant. For essentially half of his Cubs career, he’s been the subject of such speculation – and it’s only gotten worse with time. This offseason, though, took things to another level – with Bryant tied to the Dodgers, Braves, Nationals and Mets are various points. Whether or not […] Cubs: Kris Bryant got a text saying he’d been traded … [Read more...] about Cubs: Kris Bryant got a text saying he’d been traded to the Mets

Cubs reportedly bring back NL MVP vote-getter Ryan Tepera

February 26, 2021 by Cubbies Crib Leave a Comment

Looking to add more swing-and-miss to the bullpen mix, the Chicago Cubs are reportedly bringing back right-hander Ryan Tepera via a one-year, $800,000 deal. Tepera, 33, could more than double the value of his contract through incentives and active roster bonuses – but even if he maxed it out, it’s still just a $1.75 million […] Cubs reportedly bring back NL MVP vote-getter Ryan … [Read more...] about Cubs reportedly bring back NL MVP vote-getter Ryan Tepera

Nico Hoerner Using More Open Stance to Take Advantage of Athleticism, Drive Ball More Often

February 26, 2021 by Cubs Insider Leave a Comment

Nothing can come close to matching best-shape-of-his-life discourse when it comes to washed spring training tropes, but waxing ecstatic about minute mechanical changes is probably a distant second. There are, however, plenty of cases in which the changes in question are being made for very good reason. So since I’ve already written about Anthony Rizzo‘s fitness, it was only … [Read more...] about Nico Hoerner Using More Open Stance to Take Advantage of Athleticism, Drive Ball More Often
