Over the summer, I interned with Maroon PR and Cal Ripken Baseball as a team reporter for the 2016 Cal Ripken World Series. Check out all of my work while at the CRWS.

It seems hard to believe, but the regular season opener between the Carolina Panthers and the Denver Broncos is just two weeks away. With week one fast approaching, drafts are scheduled and owners are scrambling as they put the finishing touches on their strategy. One of the best tools to see how your drafting strategy…
We have arrived at an interesting point in the fantasy baseball season. Some teams are trending upward, others downward. Some owners find themselves at the top of the standings, while others have already started their countdown to fantasy football season. Many standard leagues are also coming up on their trade deadline, a time where owners…

Some fantasy owners develop an emotional connection to players over the course of a season. In baseball, this is understandable as the season stretches over months and months. When a player is performing, the emotionally connected owner labels him something along the lines of “my guy” and credits him for carrying the team to where…
This is a time in the fantasy baseball season where your email becomes full of league alerts about trades proposals. The midway point of the season signals a time where owners need to examine their roster, figure out where they are sitting currently, and begin to make moves to get that team to where it…
I hope everyone is enjoying their last week of fantasy baseball before the all-star break! While it is pretty fun having a 10 day scoring period coming out of the break, four whole days without any baseball is always quite difficult for me. For the most part I use that time on more fantasy baseball.…
July is always an interesting month in the world of baseball. First, we have the All Star break which can be fun to watch with the Futures Game, the Home Run Derby, and finally concluding in the All Star game itself which will be played July 12th. Just a couple of short weeks after that…
Lebron James stepped onto the court at Quicken Loans Arena in downtown Cleveland late last Wednesday night for Game 6 of the NBA Finals knowing that a loss would mean the end of yet another “disappointing” and well, “worthless” season for he and his Cleveland Cavaliers. Lebron James is one of the most renowned figures in sports history and one of the most explosive and electric players the NBA has ever seen, but none of that would really matter to him or anyone else unless he won. Sports fans live and die for legacy and for many (me especially), they wanted to see Lebron win and for Lebron I believe it was more of a need and less of a want. Lebron knew that he needed to win Game 7 on Sunday in Oakland or his career would continue to be nothing but a never-ending story of criticism and complaints…“Lebron can’t perform under pressure,” or “a losing Finals record won’t put him with the greats,” or “he will never be Jordan” are all things the critics say or fans who haven’t quite gotten what they thought the would from the King (i.e The city of Cleveland’s first championship since 1964). The fact is this, Lebron can perform under pressure (clearly), a losing Final record would not have and will hardly taint his legacy and no he is not Michael Jordan, he is Lebron James.
A good fantasy owner uses equal parts aggression and patience when managing their team. Sure, you have to be quick to open a roster spot when a top prospect is recalled or when picking up a trending player based on a recent hot streak. However, sometimes the best thing to do with a struggling player…

Jurickson Profar? That guy who was on the top of every prospect list you could find back in 2012? Yup, that’s him. The same Texas Rangers prospect who came up late in the 2012 season to help with the team’s postseason push, and was later given a significant role the following season before having his […]
