Anthony's Baseball Talk

NY Post   I may be a bit biased as a Met fan when I say this, but I am a huge fan of Michael Conforto . I've been fan of his play for a while now, and that's why it felt heartbreaking to see him have what can be described as an inconsistent season.    However, he has been catching fire (no, I don't like the hunger games, that was just a coincidence) as of late. This hot streak he has been on has real staying power, and I'll explain why.

  Courtesy of NJ.com     Paul Sewald was stringing great performances together to start off the season, and had proven that he deserved to be put in higher leverage situations. However, once the calendar turned to May, his performance took a severe 180 turn (4.64 FIP), and was even worse once June hit (8.77 FIP). The questions that lie here are what went wrong, and what can be done to fix the issue.

Some recent successful Indy alumni have spanned from names like Rich Hill , Mickey Jannis and David Peralta . One name that could be added to this list of names? How about Bennett Parry .

  With the 2018 MLB First Year Player Draft set to take place tonight, and run through the 6th, it is time for all 30 MLB teams to further stockpile for the future. With a greater emphasis placed on MLB teams having a streamline of young talent in their organization, the draft has become a great place for teams to further this process. With this in mind, one will wonder how the Yankees should go about their draft selection in this upcoming draft.
