It took us a while, but we finally can announce the results of our latest committee work. Huge thanks to Chad, Jeff, Russ, Swen, and Chuck for hanging in there on this drawn-out proceess. Our objective was to take small step that will provide teams (especially lower-level) with a quick, short-ter

Imagine the Orioles acquiring a number one starter (Gausman), the best closer in baseball (Diaz), and a 1.13 ERA bullpen arm (Fairbanks) and then turning into the Rockies. The Capilanos' executive staff have sent for the patron saint of Chase Utley's knees in order to divine the sort of sacrifice

A little late to the party, but inspired by Sammy and a few others, this seemed like a pretty good day for our friend Liberace to re-emerge with a few thoughts on the 2023 season. Read about it on his blog, and see if you can crack the secret code by clicking here.

The committee consisting of Paul Johnson, Jeff Meyer, Jeremy Johnson, Scott Curtis, Sam Bentz, and Costco CT worked to determine whether certain safeguards needed to be enacted regarding restrictions on the trading of draft picks. While there was some support for and against the measure, the comm

At a Pioneer League game in Colorado Springs. The Vibes are atrocious, especially their fielding, but it's quite entertaining since you never know whether they'll catch the ball or not. Miguel Tejada Jr. just struck out looking for the Vibes. Cool mascot though, yes he's a marshmallow on fire in

Move on over to Liberace's blog for a strangely analytical forecast of the 2024 PGB season. Relying less on intuition and personal feelings, The Man chose to use his forum in a method that appears to be influenced by a combination of raw data, Moneyball, AI, and the Wrath of HAL. You can find it by

On what planet does Miggy Rojas outhit Freddie Freeman by 51pts? Planet PGB. I know it's a statistical game and things somewhat even out eventually and there can be a big difference between our league and MLB, but really? Anybody else have a flip-flop in stats on their team?

American League It should be fun watching Rochester and Pensacola’s season long battle for the AL pennant. Any of these five teams (Berlin, Charleston, Gnawbone, Homestead, and Thunder Bay) will finish between 3rd and 7th place in the AL. Both Brooklyn and Fairburn helped themselves in the latest

Thank you to Johnny Walbert, Ryan Williams, Jeff Burkett, Paul Henderson, Ken Simone, and Jeff Swenson for great work in addressing usage and ways to ensure that all Groundouts have ample opportunity to fully stock rosters with enough innings and at-bats. We wrestled with five different concepts,

March 15, 2022 Maybe it's this new space-age realignment that has me out of sorts, but just for fun, I'm trying something a little different this year. I'm grouping all 18 PGB teams into one of three categories: Contender, Tinkerbell, or Blossom. Read on, and I think you'll start to understand ho

Shout-out to committee members Johnny Walbert, Jeff Burkett, Scott Benson, Jeff Meyer, and Ken Simone for shepherding this process. Several plans were under consideration, but our main objective always was to form a long-term sustainable divisional alignment and a fair playoff seeding structure th

As we step into 2024, I extend my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering passion and commitment. Your enthusiasm propels us forward, and we’re thrilled to share these excitin

Take a look at the preseason prediction from our favorite candle opera holder. I think HAL took it as an opportunity to show up one of the worlds greatest showmen(women) and show who really know what is going on. Good luck to the playoff teams!

What mid or late round pick from the draft are you irrationally excited about 10 MLB games into the 2023 season? Even though they won’t keep it up? I’m dreaming that 10th rounder Franchy Cordero ends the season with his current 1.100 OPS by continuing to hit bombs to the short porch at Yankee Stadiu

The Draftpool Committee has determined that starting in 2024, and for at least the short-term future, the Annual Draft will include only players from American League rosters. The conclusion marks the first time in recent PGB seasons that no NL players will be eligible. With over 140 predominantly-

We've been hard at work for the past few weeks and can now announce a few new policies that will be enacted immediately. Huge shout-out to Groundouts serving on each committee: Dave Spurrier, Ken Simone, Mike Mihelich, Chad Boysen, Paul Henderson, Jeff Swenson, Scott Curtis, and Chuck Tinkler. 1.
