As much of an NL fan that I am, the designated hitter is standard almost everywhere. High school baseball, college baseball, American League, most minor league games, and most international teams use the DH.

Re: Nice article on Yaz and his newfound power
I was surprised that Austin Riley was mentioned in the article as a possible rookie of the year candidate. He was before the All-Star break, but he has been terrible since (plus he has missed games lately to injury). Yaz looks good out there. It's too bad the Giants have slipped back to under .500 (...

Re: Sports Illustrated story about Buehler
Terrific article. I had forgotten that Buehler had Tommy John surgery after the draft. He is turning into one of the top pitchers of the game. The only thing I hate is that he will be a thorn in the side of the Braves for years to come. It will be fascinating to see an Acuna vs. Buehler matchup in t...

Re: Swanson placed on 10-day injured list
Swanson still has no timetable for a return. :( The Braves desperately need him back, for both his hitting and fielding. They could have easily lost yesterday (or gone to extra innings) because Camargo (one of the backup SS) misplayed what would have been the third out in the 9th in a one run game. ...

Re: Sneds
Sneds finished in a 4-way tie for 6th, and he moved up from 33rd place to 22nd place. So it was still a good tournament, despite shooting only par today.

Re: Sneds
It would really help him to win today to get a big boost in the standings. The Fed Ex Cup has changed significantly this year. There are only 3 tournaments instead of the usual 4, and your place after the first two will determine how much of an advantage you get in the final. 1st place - start off a...

Good start to the preseason
After going 0-4 last year in the preseason, it was nice to get a solid 27-10 win against the Eagles last night (thought they did sit Wentz). I really liked how Humphries could get open and make some tough catches. I wish Mariota played more than one series, but I am sure he will next week against th...

Re: Bryan Reynolds - Great technical article on his success
I think I actually understood that article. Growing up, we didn't have BABIP numbers, but it seems to be a big deal now.
I am happy for him. The Pirates are a team that I have no hate for (unlike a lot of NL teams), so I hope he keeps it up.

Re: NFL pre-season player rankings are out!
Those are fantasy football rankings. They might be useful to those playing fantasy football, but they mean absolutely nothing when it comes to how a team will perform this year.

Wow......I hope i never see the day when i pull for a pro team over Vandy players. These guys only drive is money, they would leave their team for an extra dollar.

He pitched well, but thankfully the Braves tied it up. Braves come before any Vandy player for me.

Re: Buehler with a big night
He had another one last night. He had only his 2nd career complete game in a 4-1 win over the Padres, and he struck out 15 with zero walks.

Buehler with a big night
Now it was against the Marlins, but it was still impressive. 7 innings, 5 hits, 11 strikeouts, 0 walks, 0 runs.
He is now at 9-1 with a 3.23 ERA. He is 10th in the NL in ERA.

Re: Snedeker and List have their work cut out for them
Sneds at least made it interesting with a birdie on 18 to finish 1 under for the day and 2 over total. The projected cut is +1, but a lot of players haven't even teed off yet. Does anyone know what happened to him on #2? He had a 7 on a par 5, so something horrible must have happened. I did see an a...

Re: Kyle Wright to start on the mound tonight for Braves
It sucks because the Braves really need another starter right now. I was hoping Kyle could be it, but did not look like a major league pitcher (and hasn't in his four starts). While the Braves have been great at late inning comebacks, making up 7 runs is highly unlikely (and the Braves bullpen will ...
