IMO: Return to Play Storylines

On Todays post, I want to answer some of the biggest questions on the MLB return to play plan. I also want to cover a couple parts of the plan I missed in the orginal post. Before we get into, my good Friends over at Raze Energy gave me one heck of deal to give you guys. Using the Promo Code "BALLBOY" over at Reppsports.com will save you 15% on the energy drink that will change your life. Fun Fact- If baseball returns, it will be the single longest streak without a game played of 267 days. An all time sports record for all ML Sports. A couple things I missed in the first post of the proposal. Position Players Pitching. There will be no limit or restrictions on Position Players Pitching. With the rule that was implemented this last off season, each player would have been designated as either a pitcher or position player. The only way position players were allowed to pitch was in extra innings and when the team is trailing by 6 or more runs. The last stipulation would have

IMO: When are Where 2020 Season

What is going on with my wonderful supporters of the blog? Today I want to recap the recent news that we got on June 23 that baseball FINALLY agreed. Fun Fact: After 60 games last season, here are your playoff teams: Dodgers, Phillies, Cubs, Brewers, Braves for the NL on the AL side: Astros, Yankees, Twins, Rays, and Rangers. With each week this year carrying more weight, the WS Champs of 2019, the Nationals, and all other teams have their work cut out for them from day one. Lets, get into it. However, before we do that, my great friends over at REPP Sports recently became a supporter of the blog. This company produces my favorite energy of all time: Raze Energy. Raze has seriously changed what I look for in energy drinks. I have drunk everything from Monster, Rockstar, Bang, Redbull, celcius, and several others. None of them can touch Raze. The zero sugar and zero crap inside of the drink as well give you top of the line energy to get you through all parts of the day. https://repps

He did own up to it and said it was an "error in judgment." Information like this does make me think, is there a line between performance-enhanc

IMO: Steroids in the HOF Pt 3/4

In today's piece, we will be looking at some of the most iconic names to use steroids to enhance their game.

IMO: Steroid Users in HOF Pt 2/4

Now it's time to break down some players who use PEDS, who should probably be considered based on their stats alone. We will also talk about some players and their conduct regarding how that affects their case. Before we jump into it, I want to give a shoutout to all the front line works. Those in hospitals are taking care of the elderly in assisted living facilities, grocery workers, and all employees in essential retailers. But for me, right as I write those on May 5th, I want to show my appreciation for those nurses, CNAs, and all personnel in assisted living facilities. My great-grandmother Peggy who is 98yo in December of 2020, got moved to Memory Care at her facility. This part of the facility is specialized care for those fighting against dementia and Alzheimers. I had lost two great grandparents to these terrible diseases when I was about eight years old. Please take a moment if you're lucky enough before reading all this to call your grandparents, great grandparents,

IMO: Steroids in the HOF Pt 1/4

Okay, lets jump right into this topic. It is always a pretty big topic of discussion early in the season every year right around Hall of Fame elections. I want to talk first about what I think of steroids in the HOF. I am all for the integrity of the game and keeping baseball clean and as natural with talent as possible. BUT when you think of what other guys have done to cheat the game: Pete Rose cheating, Black Sox scandal, Astros Sign Stealing and Steriods. There has been a lot of different fraud that has impacted the game. Quick shoutout to my friends over at RAZE Energy. This drink is unlike any other Energy Drink I have ever tried. It's delicious; it's natural and dye-free, it's not full of all the awful stuff that other energy drinks have. Its clean energy, with tons of different flavors.

IMO: Draft Ramifications

ey guys, I know it been a while. Good to be back with you amid the chaos. Being a mixed-race creator puts me in a weird spot for everything. Growing up in both worlds, seeing both sides is different. Regardless of myself, I 100% support the BLM movement. I have seen peers affected by systematic injustice. My roots run deep into many different cultures, and I know change will continue to come out of this worldwide. Stay patient, have empathy, and let us stay united! Now, into the post today. I have some fascinating opinions on the draft that I can not shake, with this year's draft going to 5 rounds. I see the MLB lining up more closely to other pro-sports. NBA is two rounds, NFL 7 rounds. I would like to see the MLB go somewhere between 10-15 and not keep going 40 rounds. This would help us understand the best talent going and a lot less unproven players. The MLB draft is 40 rounds is so incredibly dull. Yes, it's great for players to get a chance. But they need to continue with

IN MY OPINION: Best in the AL West

Note: This is 100% opinion based on who I see as the best players in the AL West and who I can see having a legit shot at the HOF. The explain how I get these categories for Honorable Mentions I feel like they aren't the most exciting player, but one who should be paid attention to at this point in their career where they are now and where I think they are going Most Exciting players are the guys you have to watch that are just electric and going to be around for a while and making noise. HOF candidates are guys who I can see when their careers are over are likely to be considered for the HOF. Honorable Mentions Hitters Anthony Rendon- 3B Angels-He is another guy who has just been a substantial contributor to the Nationals since 2013 and doesn't pop in a lot of categories but has a solid BA of 290 for his career and a 369 OBP as well. A guy who can hit for power, get on base and be a reliable player. Ramon Laureano- OF Athletics-  at 25 and with his glove, he drops jaws.
