When Will the MLB Lockout End?

    

    The MLB lockout has been going on for over a month now and it looks like there is no end in sight. The owners and the MLBPA have no meetings scheduled in the future and that is not a good sign for the season to start on time. spring training starts next month and if the two sides do not get anything done soon, we could see another shortened season for the second time in three seasons. Dodgers' fans will rejoice if this happens because it seems like they can only win a World Series in a shortened season (sorry, had to do it ha ha). In all seriousness, fans want baseball and if the two sides cannot agree soon and the season is delayed, it will not be a good look for the MLB. I believe that they will find a way to get things done right before spring training starts which may lead to a shortened spring training to make way for the regular season to start on time.

Teams that Need New Stadiums

    Last week, we saw fans fall at FedEx Field after a barrier broke and they almost landed on Jalen Hurts, who is the starting quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles. This has made me think of what teams in sports need new stadiums because their current one is just a dumpster fire. Comment down below what teams you think need a new stadium.

1. Washington Football Team- FedEx Field   

    This is an obvious one and probably the worst stadium on this list. I was able to visit FedEx field recently and it is not a great stadium whatsoever. They have had sewage dumped on fans earlier this season and they had fans almost fall on Jalen Hurts this past weekend. The outside of the stadium has visible rust and that is not a good look for the team. One positive of this stadium is that there is parking all around the stadium which some teams do not have but that does not make up for the negatives that the stadium has.

2. Oakland Athletics- RingCentral Coliseum

    Oakland does not want to build any of their teams a stadium. They have already lost the Warriors and Raiders to new cities and now the Athletics could be next if a new baseball stadium is not built. RingCentral Coliseum used to be home to the Raiders as well and that is why there are huge foul territories for the Athletics. This stadium is completely outdated and the city of Oakland needs to make the right decision and build a stadium for the Athletics before they have no professional sports teams.

3. Tampa Bay Rays- Tropicana Field

    Tropicana Field started out as just a shell when it was built and when Tampa Bay received a team, they built the inside of it. The stadium is just dull and has no charm in it because of this. It kind of looks like they built the stadium and just built a dome around it. Fly balls have even hit the catwalks on the roof which has caused some unusual plays because the ball is still technically in play. There have been rumors of the Rays possibly playing half their games in Tampa and half of them in Montreal which would be a bizarre scenario. If Tampa Bay can just build a brand new stadium, it could save the Rays from moving or playing half of their season in Montreal.

4. Buffalo Bills- Highmark Stadium

    This is the best stadium so far on the list and it makes this list because of how old and plain it is. The Bills fanbase is one of the most passionate in all of sports and they deserve a nice stadium to cheer on the Bills. Highmark Stadium is one of the oldest in the NFL and Buffalo needs to help out to build the Bills a new stadium. There has already been rumors about the possibility of the Bills moving to Austin, Texas so the pressure is already on to get a new stadium built.

    I believe that these four teams are next in line for a new stadium and they could be getting one in the next few years. What other teams deserve a new stadium? Comment down below and vote in the poll that is linked!

MLB Divisional Playoffs

     The divisional playoffs are in full swing for the MLB and they have been exciting so far. Let's take a look at each series and who has the upper hand in the rest of the series. Let me know what y'all think in the comments down below.

Chicago White Sox vs. Houston Astros

    This series is already off to a bad start for the White Sox as they find themselves down 2-0 heading into game 3. They will be playing at home for the next two games and they will need to win both to force a game 5 in Houston. The White Sox are in danger of being swept as it seems like the Astros are just the better team. Hopefully the crowd in Chicago shows up for the White Sox and they can get some momentum of their side to send the series back to Houston. The Astros seem to have proved me wrong so far, as I had the White Sox winning this series 3-1. I now believe that the Astros will take care of business in Chicago and punch their ticket to the ALCS.

Boston Red Sox vs. Tampa Bay Rays

    This series is very interesting, as it is now tied 1-1 heading to Boston for game 3. The Rays won game 1 on Thursday and the Red Sox won the second game of the series last night. It looked like the Rays might take a 2-0 lead to Boston when they went up 5-2 on Boston, early on in game 2. Boston then went on to score a whopping 14 runs and only allowing the Rays to score six. I still have the Rays winning this series and I believe that it will go five games. Boston could pull off an upset if they are able to win this series, as the Rays are one of the favorites to win the World Series.

Atlanta Braves vs. Milwaukee Brewers

    The Brewers beat the Braves 2-1 in game 1 of their series yesterday behind a strong pitching performance by Corbin Burnes. If Atlanta is going to have any shot in this series, they are going to have to score some runs because this Brewers pitching staff is elite. They are going to get face Brandon Woodruff today which is going to be another tough challenge for them. The Braves had a nice run to end their season to win a weak NL East division and I believe that is going to hurt them in this series. The Brewers have great pitching and enough hitting, that they should easily win this series to advance to the NLCS. I have the Brewers winning in four games and they might even get the sweep.

Los Angeles Dodgers vs. San Francisco Giants

    The Giants have taken a 1-0 lead in this series, after shutting the Dodgers out in game 1. This series is between the two teams that had the highest win totals in all of baseball this year and it is crazy that they are meeting in the NLDS rather than later in the playoffs. What is even crazier, is that both of these teams came from the same division which is rare to see. Whoever loses this series, will have their season come to a disappointing end, I had the Giants winning this series in my playoff predictions and I am going to stick with that prediction as the Giants find themselves in a great spot.

NL Wild Card Card Recap

     The Dodgers beat the Cardinals last night by a score of 3-1 and they will be now advancing to face the Giants in the NLDS. The game was a pitching duel between Max Scherzer and Adam Wainwright and it lived up to the hype.

    The Cardinals struck first in the game when Tommy Edman scored on a wild pitch from Scherzer. The Dodgers were then able to tie it up in the 4th inning when Justin Turner went deep off Wainwright. Both pitchers were taken out of the game fairly early and then it turned into a bullpen game. Both bullpens performed very well and that led to a tie game heading into the 9th inning. The Cardinals were not able to do anything in their half of the inning and then the Dodgers got the first two outs in their half when Cody Bellinger stepped to the plate. Bellinger was able to draw a walk then steal second base which put him into scoring position with Chris Taylor up to bat. The Cardinals manager, Mike Schildt, opted to put Alex Reyes in to face Chris Taylor after T.J. McFarland got the first two outs of the inning. This ended up being a mistake, as Taylor got a pitch that he liked and drove it into left field for a home run. 

    The Cardinals have a disappointing end to their season after they rallied off 17 straight games near the end of the season to push themselves into the playoffs. The Dodgers now get to face their NL West rival, the Giants, in the NLDS. The Giants and the Dodgers had the two highest win totals this year in the MLB, so it is going to be a very interesting series but I have to go with the Giants pulling it out.

AL Wild Card Race

     We are down to the final week of the regular season in Major League Baseball. Most of the races are decided but the AL Wild Card race is as wild as it gets. Four teams are fighting for two playoff spots and these teams are separated by 3 games. This last weekend is going to be fun to watch where all four of these teams finish and I will be taking you through all their situations for this last week.

New York Yankees

    The Yankees currently lead the wild card race by holding a two and a half game lead over the Seattle Mariners who are currently on the outside looking in. They have two more games against the Toronto Blue Jays, who are three games behind the Yankees, and this could get this race a lot more interesting. If the Blue Jays can win those two games, they will be separated by only one game in the standings heading into the final series. The Yankees then have to face the Tampa Bay Rays in their final series which will be a crucial series possibly. The Rays are the best team in the American League but they might choose to sit some of their players this weekend to try and rest them for the playoffs since they have nothing to gain or lose this weekend. I feel like the Yankees have a good possibility in holding one of the two final spots.

Boston Red Sox

    The Red Sox sit a half of a game ahead of the Seattle Mariners for the final wild card spot and they have the easiest schedule out of the four teams. They have two more games against the Baltimore Orioles and three games against the Washington Nationals left. These are both bottom tier teams in the league and the Red Sox need to win at least three of these last five games to have a shot. They lost to the Orioles just last night which gave the Mariners a shot at creeping back into this race and they did just that. The Red Sox have to figure out how to win these games this weekend or they might have a disappointing end to their season. I like the Red Sox chances in holding this final spot but they could easily lose it to the Blue Jays or Mariners.

Seattle Mariners

    I think this is the team everyone wants to see in the playoffs since they have not made it in forever. The Mariners are only a half game back and if they can win this game tonight against the Athletics, they could have a good shot at making the playoffs. They get to play the Los Angeles Angels in their final series and they are more than capable of winning all three of those games. The Mariners have to win at least three of their last four games if not all of them to have any shot at getting into the playoffs. I think everyone in baseball is rooting for them outside of the Yankees, Red Sox, and Blue Jays fans. This could be an amazing story if they could find their way into this year's playoffs. I give them a twenty-percent chance at making it and it could go up if they can get a win tonight.

Toronto Blue Jays

    The Blue Jays were a team that was on fire and it looked like they were going to grab a wild card spot but they have skidded recently. They are one game out of the playoffs and they need to beat the Yankees in both of the last two games they play against them. If they can do this, they will be within striking distance of the Yankees and they could quite possibly be in the final wild card spot. They get to finish the year off with three games against the Orioles, so if they can win these next two, they will be in amazing position. I think that they have a lower chance than the Mariners have but not by much. If they win the next two against the Yankees they will have a better shot than they do now.

Mayhem?

    There is also a possibility that three of these teams could tie or all four of them. If all four of them tie, there would be two play-in games to determine the two teams. If there was a three-way tie it would get a whole lot more confusing. I saw the scenario on Twitter the other day and it was too confusing for even me to figure out but it would involve two teams playing and the loser of that game would play the other team and the winners of those two games would be the two teams that make the playoffs. I personally, would like for either one of these situations to happen because it would mean these teams would have to play one or two extra games to actually make the playoffs.

    Comment down below what you would like to see happen!

Top World Series Contenders

     The MLB playoffs are approaching fast and that means the contenders are separating themselves from the pretenders. I am going to look at my top 5 contenders for the World Series in the passage below. Tell me who I miss and who should not be on the list at all.

1. San Francisco Giants

    The Giants are currently in first place of the NL West and that plays a big part in them being my most likely World Series champion. They have the best record in baseball despite playing in the hardest division in baseball. They have an easier schedule that the Dodgers for the rest of the season which helps them in trying to secure the division title. If they get the division title they will not have to play in the one game Wild Card playoff game and thats a huge win. The Giants have a great pitching staff and they also have a solid offense which could carry them to the championship. If they do not win the division, they could easily fall in these rankings because if they have one bad game they could be eliminated just like that.

2. Tampa Bay Rays

    It seems like every single year the Rays find themselves in the playoff picture even with the low salary. They are again the best team in the American League and that is what puts them in the number 2 in these rankings. They have the tools to make another run to the World Series and win it this year. They have also the best record in the American League and they play in a competitive division with four playoff contenders.

3. Los Angeles Dodgers

    This is hard putting the Dodgers at number 3 because they are so good but they might have to play in the Wild Card game which could eliminate them. If the season ended today, they would be playing in the game against the St. Louis Cardinals who are red hot. If the reclaim the division lead, then the Giants and Dodgers would flip. The Dodgers have the best pitching staff and that could lead them easily to the World Series coupled with their great offense.

4. Milwaukee Brewers

    The Brewers are fourth on this list because of the easy opponent they should get in the first round in the playoffs. It is pretty much determined that they will be getting the NL East champion and that team will have way less wins than they do. They should have no problem getting into the NLCS and by that time they will be one step away from the World Series. I think they could seriously make a run and win it all in the end.

5. Houston Astros

    You can always say that the Astros are cheaters but they are still a great team no matter what they did in the past. They have been continually good for the last few years and they are back again ready to make another run. The Astros are good enough to win another World Series this year and that is what puts them at number 5 as the second best American League team.

MLB Postseason Picture (as of September 17th)

     Not a lot has changed in the MLB ever since I did my last postseason picture update but I am going to walk you through what it looks like now. The season now only has a little over two weeks left and we are going to be looking at what teams are in as of now and who still has some work to do if the want to make the playoffs.

AL East

    The Tampa Bay Rays are still in control of this division and they will end up winning it easily. They have a 8.5 game lead over the New York Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays and it would take a total collaps for them to lose that lead with only two weeks left. The Rays will win this division.

AL Central

    The AL Central is the same way as the AL East with the Chicago White Sox having an 11 game lead over the Cleveland Indians. This division will be won by the White Sox easily.

AL West

    Last week, I said that the Seattle Mariners and the Oakland Athletics could have made this division interesting but the Houston Astros extended their lead. The Astros are now seven games ahead of the Athletics and they will easily will this division.

AL Wild Card

    With the three divisions in the American League pretty much decided, the Wild Card race is crazy. There are five teams that still have a legitimate chance to claim one of the two spots up for grabs. Right now, the Blue Jays and the Boston Red Sox hold the two spots with the Yankees 0.5 games behind.  The Blue Jays and the Red Sox have the two easiest schedules remaining out of the five teams and it should give them a path into the playoffs. I think that they will both hold onto the Wild Card spots and the Blue Jays will have the better record over the Red Sox.

NL East

    The NL East is the second closest division in baseball and the Atlanta Braves currently hold a three game lead over the Philadelphia Phillies. It could get even closer in the next week with the Braves having to play the San Francisco Giants over the weekend. I think that this division will get really close by the end of the season and I could definitely seeing either the Phillies or the New York Mets (5.5 games out) sneaking in. I think that it is either going to be the Phillies or the Braves in the end and I see the Braves pulling it out but they probably won't clinch until the final weekend of the season.

NL Central

    The Milwaukee Brewers are 12.5 games up on the St. Louis Cardinals which is the biggest division lead in baseball. There is not much here to explain because the Brewers will win this division.

NL West

    The most interestin division entering the season and it has lived up to the hype. Many people believed that it was going to be a race between the San Diego Padres and the Los Angeles Dodgers but it has been the Dodgers and the Giants who are battling it out. Currently, the Giants have a one game lead over the Dodgers and it is going to come down to the wire. They do not play each other anymore and the Giants have an easier schedule the rest of the way. I really have no idea who is going to pull this division out but I am going to say the Giants since they have controlled the division for most of the year.

NL Wild Card

    The second place finisher of the NL West will easily get the first Wild Card spot but the second spot is down to 5 teams. Currently, the St. Louis Cardinals hold the spot and they will be playing the San Diego Padres this weekend, who are 0.5 games behind them. The Cincinnati Reds are one game behind, Phillies are 2.5 behind, and the Mets are 5 behind. The Padres have the hardest schedule remaining in the whole MLB so it will take a miracle for them to win it and the Reds and Phillies have the easiest schedule among this group. It is going to be a close race, but I believe the Reds will pull through for the last spot.

Playoffs if Season Ended Today:

American League

Wild Card Game: Boston Red Sox vs. Toronto Blue Jays

Divisional Round: BOS/TOR vs. Tampa Bay Rays

                              Chicago White Sox vs. Houston Astros

National League

Wild Card Game: St. Louis Cardinals vs. Los Angeles Dodgers

Divisional Round: STL/LAD vs. San Francisco Giants

                              Atlanta Braves vs. Milwaukee Brewers

DH or No DH?

     There has been much debate about there being a designated hitter in the National League in recent years. They experimented with this rule in the shortened 2020 season and many fans want it to be a permanent thing. It seems likely that it is going to happen in the near future with more and more fans getting on board with it.  I, however, would like to see the opposite thing happen and have the pitchers bat in both the American League and the National League.

    If you add the designated hitter, it takes the strategy out of the game. The manager would not have the hard decision each game deciding whether he wants to have his pitcher hit down one run or bring in a batter that has a better chance getting on base. I love watching pitchers bat in big situations and nothing beats a pitcher going yard against a fellow pitcher. Pitchers should definitely be batting in both leagues because it just brings character to the game. Having a designated hitter brings nothing to the game because you could have the same nine guys batting the whole game without using your bench.

    There should be absolutely no reason why the National League should adopt the designated hitter. I enjoy watching pitchers swing at pitches in the dirt and having to bunt to advance a runner to second or third base. If anything, the American League should start having the pitchers hit because it brings more to the game. If the National League had a designated hitter, we would have never been able to see Bartolo Colon mash a home run in San Diego or Felix Hernandez hit a grand slam when the Mariners were playing the Mets in New York. I love being able to see a pitcher succeed at the plate and having the pitcher bat should continue to be a thing in the National League.

MLB Postseason Picture

     The MLB playoffs are right around the corner and the playoff picture is shaping up, with plenty of teams that still have a chance to make the 10 team field. I will be taking you through all of the division races, as well as the wild card races and looking at who has the best shot at making the playoff.

AL East

    The AL East race has been pretty much decided with the Tampa Bay Rays holding a 9 game lead over the Boston Red Sox as of September 11th. The Rays continue to find a way to field a competitive team each year despite a low payroll which is very impressive. Their front office does a great job trading away star players and getting a good return for them without giving away too much of their current team which puts them in this position year in and year out. The Rays will definitely win the AL East this year.

AL Central

    The same goes for the AL Central with the Chicago White Sox leading the Cleveland Indians by 11 games. The White Sox have had a great year and have run away with the division behind a top 10 offense and defense. They are a scary team that could make a run to the World Series and win it all because they have all the right pieces including a World Series winning manager in Tony La Russa. The White Sox will easily win this division by a landslide.

AL West

    This is a closer division race but the Houston Astros still have a 5.5 game lead on the Seattle Mariners and the Oakland Athletics. It could get interesting since the Astros still have to play the Athletics six more times which can close the division lead. I think that the Athletics have a good shot at making this interesting but they do have the hardest schedule remaining out of the three teams. I still believe that the Astros will win the division but it will be by less than 3 games in the end.

AL Wild Card

    This is where things get crazy for the American League. The Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees currently hold the two wild card spots but the Toronto Blue Jays, Oakland Athletics, and the Seattle Mariners are not too far behind. Everyone is within two games of each other which will make this a fun race to watch as the end of the season nears. Out of these five teams, the Red Sox have the easiest schedule with the Blue Jays not far behind them. I think that strength of schedule might be the deciding factor for these two spots, but in the end, I believe that the Blue Jays will make it and the Mariners will end their postseason drought.

NL East

    Arguably the worst division this year is shaping up to be one of the more interesting division races. The Atlanta Braves lead the Philadelphia Phillies by 4.5 games and the New York Mets by 5 games. This could change very quickly though, with each team playing the other two at least three more times. It could all come down to the last weekend of the season when the Mets play the Braves in a three game season to end the year and the Phillies wrapping their regular season up with the Marlins. The Phillies have the easiest remaining schedule in the big leagues and if them and the Mets find themselves within three games of the Braves entering the last series things could get very interesting. I still believe that the Braves will win the division at this point but the other two teams having a fighters chance.

NL Central

    The NL Central is shaping up to be just like the AL Central and the AL East. The Milwaukee Brewers have a 12 game lead over the Cincinnati Reds and that is an impossible feat to come back from in such little time. The Brewers have had their pitching staff carry them throughout the season with Corbin Burnes and Brandon Woodruff both being in the top 5 in ERA. The Brewers will coast into the postseason where they will probably have a desirable matchup with the winner of the NL East. 

NL West

    The San Francisco Giants have held the division lead for most of the year and currently have a 2.5 game lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers. This is the tightest division race this season and might end that way as well. The Dodgers and Giants do not have any games against each other remaining but the Dodgers do have an easier schedule which could work in their favor. I believe that this race will come down to the last weekend with the Giants ultimately winning the division.

NL Wild Card

    Although not as crazy as the AL Wild Card, the NL Wild Card is very interesting. The San Diego Padres and the Cincinnati Reds are tied for the final spot with the Dodgers comfortably sitting in the first spot. The Padres have not lived up to expectations this year and they have the hardest schedule remaining in the league and it is not even close. There are three teams behind them, all within 4 games and they could make a run for the final wild card spot as well. The Padres will have to overcome a brutal schedule and the Cincinnati Reds have nine more games against the Pittsburgh Pirates who are one of the worst teams in the league. The Reds should be able to lock up the final spot with ease but we will have to wait and see.

MLB Expansion?

    The MLB has talked about expanding the league from 30 teams to 32 in recent years. However, Tampa Bay and and Oakland have stadium problems of their own and Rob Manfred (MLB Commissioner) has said those situations have to be solved before the MLB expands to other markets. This leaves the possibility of 4 new cities to get a team which would change the landscape of Major League Baseball forever.

Tampa Bay and Oakland

    Both, Tampa Bay and Oakland have rotting stadiums that are no longer suitable for the MLB. Both of these markets also have very low attendance rates which leads many to believe that both these teams could relocate. For Oakland, there has been a numerous amount of possible stadium renderings that have never been approved by the city and they have started thinking about relocation. Two cities that I have heard as possibilities are Portland, Oregon and Las Vegas, Nevada. It seems like every major sports league is trying to expand to Las Vegas so why don't the Athletics take their team to where the Raiders went when they left Oakland. Tampa Bay, on the other hand, has talked about possibly about splitting their season up and play half their games in Tampa and half in Montreal. I do not think that could be possible because what happens when they make the playoffs, where would they play the games then? I think that two cities for the Rays to relocate to is Charlotte, North Carolina or Austin, Texas. Charlotte is always at the top of Minor League attendance and I believe they have a better shot at getting a relocating team rather than getting an expansion one. Austin is a city that I have not heard too much about in talks but I believe Texas could support another Major League team since the Houston Astros and Texas Rangers have solid attendance numbers. Both of these teams have to find a permanent home before the MLB ever thinks about expanding.

Some of the renderings that the Oakland Athletics have released about their unapproved 
stadium in Oakland, California.

Top Expansion Possibilities:

1. Las Vegas, Nevada 

    I think that it is impossible to leave Las Vegas out of any talks about expanding in the MLB. Las Vegas have already gotten a NHL and NFL team and another one could be coming with the NBA talking about possibly expanding as well. The Las Vegas Golden Knights have had no problem filling the stands at their games but we are going to get to see how the Raiders do in their first season having fans in the stands this year. I think that Las Vegas will definitely get either a relocating team or and expansion team in the near future.

2. Nashville, Tennessee

    Nashville makes a lot a sense to me when talking about MLB expansion because they only have three major sports teams with the Tennessee Titans, Nashville SC, and the Nashville Predators and they could definitely support another one. There is also no other baseball team within the region that would compete with a new team in Nashville. Tennessee would be such a great location for Major League Baseball to expand to and Nashville has had interest in acquiring a team in the future.

3. Austin, Texas

    Austin makes sense for a couple of reasons, it has only a Major League Soccer team and Texas has so many people it could support another baseball team. Since Austin only has a MLS team, the people in Austin would love to have another sport within the city limits that they can enjoy. The team would have to possibly draw fans away from both the Texas Rangers and the Houston Astros but I think they would be alright (they would at least have to have better attendance than the Florida teams).

4. Virginia Beach, Virginia

    This is a location that I have not heard too much about in the new but I think it would be an interesting place to put a MLB team. Virginia really does not have a major sports teams and I believe that they would be able to support one. You have the teams that are in Washington DC that are close to the area but Southern Virginia could draw fans from Virginia, North Carolina, and even South Carolina which could be enough to fill a major league stadium. The Virginia Beach area has not been in the talks of the possible expansion locations but I believe they definitely could be.

5. Buffalo, New York

    This is another interesting possibility for expansion. Buffalo recently had the Toronto Blue Jays play games in their minor league stadium which started out slow but began to pick up before they moved back to Toronto after Canada opened back up from the pandemic. Could you imagine the Bills Mafia but in baseball? The tailgating would be crazy for a baseball game and would bring excitement to the city. The only problem with this location is that the Bills are looking for a new stadium as well and I do not know if Buffalo would be willing to build two new stadiums. However, if the Bills end up moving out of Buffalo, I believe that a MLB team would be an even bigger possibility in the Buffalo area.
