Some claim a week starts on Monday. Some say Sunday. Since Saturday is my only off day, I’m inclined to vote for Sunday. Welcome to the first Grind of week… what week are we on again?
AGENDA
It’s Friday baseball – 15 games, one contest.

New Section!

Another day, another grind, another bowl of congealed oatmeal.

: Ignoring the economics of feasible markets, how many expansion teams does the level of talent support before a noticeable drop-off in product? The White Sox and Reds, for instance, are showing us that a team does not have to be infinitely better than a Triple-A club since rebuilding is more acceptable and losing can be chic as well.

: I don’t buy this market nonsense either

AGENDA
Another week, another Grind.
AGENDA
The afternoon slate will be dominated by two distinct lineups – Chris Sale plus scrubs or a Coors Field stack. Good luck navigating the alternatives.
AGENDA
It seems nobody at MLB.com bothered to video-ize the Phillies five man infield shift. Too bad. The play worked beautifully for a 6-9-3 double play. Philadelphia later lost anyway.
AGENDA
I’m considering making this a daily Aaron Judge column. I’ll put it off for at least a day since the Yankees don’t play today.
