It didn’t take long for Theo Epstein to lay down the law. At the Cubs Convention yesterday he stated, “ The organization would no longer tolerate players who enjoy the nightlife at the expense of getting a good night’s sleep.”
This is somewhat mind-blowing to me seeing what events took place during his last year in Boston, where players were boozing, ordering fast food, and playing video games during their off days.
Epstein would go on to say, “It’s been a factor in ruining ...

There's a chance -- albeit a small one -- that current Los Angeles Dodgers bat boy Francisco Herrera walks onto the field as a professional sometime in the future.
No, this isn't the plotline for Rookie of the Year 2 (nor is there a Rookie of the Year 2 coming to theatres any time soon). But according to ESPN.com, Herrera received an invite to the Dodgers' open tryout in Glendale, Ariz., which was held on Thursday.
"We've signed guys out of our tryout camp every year," said Dodgers ...

When a team requires it’s star player to score in bulk to be competitive, that team often isn’t all that successful. When a team’s star player scores 71 points in a game, however, it’s reasonable to assume they earned a victory. This wasn’t the case for Minnesota’s Lakeview Christian Academy last Saturday, as their star player Anders Broman put up a whopping 71 points and the team still lost to Melrose High, 114-1110. Broman’s 71 points was the second-highest individual point total in the history of Minnesota high school basketball, as the junior star for Lakeview Christian shot an unreal 67 percent ...

I'm going to give you the top 30 pitchers from 4 different important catagories. For this season or next it might be in your interest to hesitate before wagering against any of these pitchers. For a good deal, and in a spot where the
starter plays well; certainly consider a play on. A note: all of the data considers only pitchers who have pitched more than 50 games looking back over the last 10 seasons. I have also filtered out pitchers who haven not pitched this season. Let's have a look at the top 30 pitchers from each of the four catagories straight out of the database:

Although there is always the possibility that my observation is nothing more than regular variance, raw data suggests emotional factors coming into play for a pitcher going for, having, and having past 20 wins. Quite the achievement. The simple thought is this: players put the effort into getting to the milestone (+24 units at 19 wins and a 61.2% win rate). Once they have acheived the feat, they take a breather: -36.9 units at 20 wins and a 52.5% wins rate.
As for why a pitcher would struggle the worst at 18 wins...you are welcome to leave a comment. My assumption is two things: 1. Again this is all regular variance (probably the best ...
