Start the season with the All-Star Game – My latest for The Hardball Times

In my latest for The Hardball Times I tiptoe into the realm of changing baseball tradition. It’s a dangerous thing to do, but hear me out. The All Star Game should START the season.

Why?

Well read the article by CLICKING HERE.

Kyle Farnsworth’s ability to disappoint never disappoints.

I will never understand how a major league pitcher could throw a game ending bases loaded walk. Seriously, lob the damn ball down the center of the plate? What’s the worst thing that can happen?

A walk off grand slam.
But at least you made the hitter take a cut.

Throw one away and you literally hand the game over.

That’s Kyle Farnsworth for you. The Rays are going to discover what the Cubs, Yankees, Royals and Braves already know:

He’s got the goods but somehow can’t put up the numbers.

Throw it down the heart of the plate!
