Fresh Start_24: The best of the generation?
While watching the Yankee Game yesterday I happened see one of my favorite pitchers that I don’t normally get to see. That man is Clayton Kershaw, and since he is on the dodgers when the games are started I’m getting ready for bed on the east coast and plus I don’t have a MLB Atbat premium account so I can’t watch Kershaw pitch even if it isn’t ten o’clock at night. I wish the expendable funds for that but being a college student, I only have a certain amount. I love watching Kershaw whenever I can.
I honestly believe that Clayton Kershaw is the best pitcher of my generation. No pitcher in any aspect of the game is better in this generation of baseball. Kershaw in nine years of pitching in the majors is 125-59. Kershaw also a 2.38 ERA in his career and that is not even close to any other pitcher in that time period. Kershaw has not fallen off the cliff ever in the regular season, and despite the back injury that he suffered back in June, Kershaw never had a major injury. Kershaw is like an absolute machine in the regular season and his cy young awards back up the claim. I understand that Kershaw hasn’t shown up in the playoffs at all and we will watch to see if he ever changes that. That smudge to his rèsume is the only thing that is holding him back in the conversation as the best left handed pitcher of all-time. Kershaw does not have the ring to back up the cy young awards. The comparison to Sandy Koufax is not too farfetched anymore and is becoming more apparent after each and every start. On top of all of that Kershaw is only twenty-eight years old and he has no signs of slowing down. For what it looks like at this moment, Kershaw can most likely pitch ten more years.

2024 MLB Preview

  Opening Day is about 24 hours away and the Shohei Ohtani gambling story has stole all the headlines and fleeting moments of baseball conversation over the past few days, many have now forgotten about the exciting marathon ahead of us! Even with the ever-evolving Ohtani story clouding the beginning of the Los Angeles Dodgers season, that doesn’t change the fact that L.A. is still the team to beat in baseball. The Dodgers have put their chips at the center of the table, no pun intended, for 2024 to show they can raise another World Series trophy after sending upwards of a billion dollars in free agency. In division however, the surprise Arizona Diamondbacks are capitalizing on their newfound championship window with a fantastic offseason that will have them in the mix to get back to a second straight fall classic. The San Diego Padres are done shopping for superstars, sort of, following a massively disappointing season that saw them move on from one of the games generational talent...

Dan Hurley Saved College Basketball

When you think of Men’s College Basketball, the names of Wooden, Dean, Krzyzewski, Williams, Thompson, and Calipari shoot to mind right away. All the memories of the great teams from UCLA, Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, the Big East, UNLV, and even the Fab Five start to rush back. Nostalgia of a time when the sport meant something different. For all those longing for the days when great teams didn’t dissipate into the transfer portal after one disappointing year—Dan Hurley and the Connecticut Huskies are here to save the day! UConn has done something that only seven other programs have done in the history of college basketball, repeat as champions. Forget all the talk about “best team of all-time,” even though if you look at point differential (like it truly matters), this UConn team is the best team to ever play in the NCAA Tournament. This team means much more to the game of college basketball than that. Coach Hurley has given college basketball what it has been missing since the in...

Last Year the Season was one game long, it's different this year

  It took 363 days, but Jets fans finally got the debut from Aaron Rodgers they waited for. This time around that debut ended in a blowout loss on the road to the San Francisco 49’ers. Last year the Jets won the battle but lost the war following their overtime walk-off win against the Buffalo Bills. This year, the Jets hope they lost the battle but because they have Rodgers they will win the war.   Of all the ways the game could have gone last night, having the Jets defense get thoroughly dominated on the ground by a third year running back, Jordan Mason, who wasn’t a household name until last night, wasn’t on the bingo card. The trademark for Robert Saleh has been his defense. That’s what got him hired from San Francisco. The defense is what Jet fans have pointed to as a reason for optimism heading into this year with Rodgers. The defense was finally supposed to get the complimentary football they have been dying for since Robert Saleh walked in the doors at Florham Park...
