A few days ago, I received an email with a link from the high school’s head coach. The website, by Major League Baseball, answers a lot of questions regarding youth pitching and gives sound advice for parents and coaches. Check out the site. It’s worth exploring. Some highlights that I found interesting: Pitch counts Most major league pitchers don’t throw more than 115 pitches in a game, so it would be difficult to justify letting a high school pitcher throw that amount....

And more congratulations to, who else, the Kings' Twitter account, for beating others in the ensuing Seinfeld reference stampede. For the uninitiated: Its also possible that the Seabrooks are big "Friday Night Lights" fans and wanted to commemorate Tim Riggins' nickname for Matt Saracen. There's no way to be sure.

The Brewers third baseman told reporters Friday that he’ll likely retire after the 2015 season. Ramirez, 36, has battled injury and seen his production decline the last two seasons. He hit .285/.330/.427 last season, two years after he posted a .901 OPS and an NL-leading 50 doubles in his first season in Milwaukee. The three-time All-Star has spent his entire career in the NL Central. He was called up to the Pirates in 1998 as a 20-year-old, and his best years came with the Cubs, as he posted six consecutive years with an OPS of ....

It was a series defined on the field by dominant Milwaukee pitching. Off the field, however, it was defined by a fun, loose Brewers team with a chip on its shoulder — a group that perhaps sees itself as the team to beat in the NL Central. Add it all up and it made for Milwaukee’s first sweep of the Cubs in Chicago since 2002, as the Brewers sent a message that they plan to be the team on Lake Michigan that plays October baseball....

I was the last kid in my class to make the leap from black and white. I was, more than any kid I knew, obsessed and fascinated at what television had to offer, and the places it could take me. I grew up in the blue glow of the television, in a home where dinner could not be served until the nightly news was over. I noted early on that more often than not, the flicker of light against the window in Mrs....
