Sean Murphy is more than a defensive first player

The Atlanta Braves key offseason acquisition, Sean Murphy, is constantly lauded as one of the best defensive catchers in the MLB.His ability to call a game, command a pitching staff, frame pitches and control the running game is second to none.He is viewed as a glove first player and rightfully so because of how good he is behind the dish.

Vida Blue Was a Baseball Comet

The bright lights would come soon enough.On that May night in 1970, at the old ballpark at the confluence of the Des Moines and the Raccoon Rivers, they were dimmer than the lights in the big leagues.Tony La Russa knew that much, because he'd been there.La Russa was destined for a storied career as a major league manager, but on the field he was a bonus baby who couldn't really hit.

Ballpark dimensions are an ode to baseball tradition

Rules and regulations are at the heart of every sport.Baseball in particular is deeply rooted in tradition, and typically the rules of the game have been standardized in a way that creates even playing terms for everyone involved.This has become clearer in this era of baseball, where the implementation of instant replay, crackdown on sticky substances, and the testing of robotic umpires is an attempt to keep the game consistent.
