I Take It All Back!
by Bill Baer on Saturday, February 28th, 2009Posted in Media, MLB, Philadelphia Phillies | 1 Comment »
Lacking about as much foresight as I did when I predicted a Rockies-Indians World Series in 2008, I showed some empathy for Adam Eaton in an article I wrote at Baseball Daily Digest on January 24. I’m not going to go ...
BDD: MLB and Twitter?
by Bill Baer on Friday, February 27th, 2009Posted in Baseball Daily Digest, Media, MLB | No Comments »
At Baseball Daily Digest, I found out that Twitter has invaded our favorite pastime and reported my findings. It's something fun and mindless for the weekend. Philadelphia Phillies @Eaton_all_the_cookies: Don’t let the door hit ya on the way out dude! @NY_choke-artists: where 2 ...
A Not-So-Boring February Day
by Bill Baer on Thursday, February 26th, 2009Posted in MLB, Philadelphia Phillies | 4 Comments »
The Phillies kicked off the first of an exciting five-or-so weeks of exhibition games against the Pittsburgh Pirates yesterday. As expected, a lot of the regulars got some swings, throws, and jogs in before calling it a day, which eventually ...
BDD: Tim McCarver Swings and Misses, Kinda
by Bill Baer on Sunday, February 22nd, 2009Posted in Baseball Daily Digest, Media, MLB, Philadelphia Phillies, Sabermetrics | 1 Comment »
At Baseball Daily Digest, I test a claim of McCarver's and find out his pitch was... just a bit outside. I recently took a trip down memory lane by watching Game 5 of the 2008 World Series between the Tampa Bay ...

Once again at Baseball Daily Digest, I rip the Mets for running their mouths and still having nothing to show for it. It’s official: the New York Mets have a Napoleon complex. In a span of a week, we have a ...

Pompous Journalists Take the Joy Out of Baseball
by Bill Baer on Sunday, February 15th, 2009Posted in Media, MLB | 6 Comments »
Jerry Green of The Detroit News must have written this article specifically for me, something for me to dissect piece by piece. It's been a little while since I FJM'ed an article. Thanks, Jer. Greeny's piece is titled, "Cheaters take the ...
Phillies Finally Have An Opening Day Ace
by Bill Baer on Saturday, February 14th, 2009Posted in MLB, Philadelphia Phillies | 1 Comment »
Say what you will about Brett Myers, but the Phillies haven't had a true ace take the hill on Opening Day since 1999 with Curt Schilling. Ten years later, the Phillies have a new guy they will be handing the ...
BDD: Mets All Bark, No Bite
by Bill Baer on Saturday, February 14th, 2009Posted in Baseball Daily Digest, Media, MLB, Philadelphia Phillies | No Comments »
At Baseball Daily Digest, I've questioned why the Mets' new closer has taken it upon himself to declare the Mets "the team to beat" one season after Carlos Beltran did so with undesirable results. Why does K-Rod feel it prudent to ...
