This is getting ridiculous. It’s one thing for Kate Middleton to go #1 overall in my wife’s celebrity fantasy league after season after season of going undrafted….but JoeyBats is bursting on the scene w/ the authority of Princess Catherine. I was forced to find the most fitting new nickname. You be the judge. It’s the [...]

Hockey playoff OTs, MLB Team Seizures & Trailblazer 4th quarter comebacks, even He is Risen, He is Risen, Indeed won’t derail BSG’s Week in Review. A carnival of appropriately themed jerseys & shirts will help focus the conversation. It’s a beautiful day at the ballpark. Beautiful day for a Week in Review. Twitter: @BattingStanceG

Baseball is back. A week and a half of baseball is in the books. Each week we’ll bring you the three things you missed. Want professionals in suits talking to you? Well, you know where to find them. I speak for the people, the downtrodden, the nerds. Those that love baseball so much they failed [...]

Because they really needed some extra attention (and cause BSG just thinks they have by far the most interesting lineup of stances), here are the 2008 playoff Red Sox for your enjoyment. If you have issue with the selection, make your argument here for one of the other remaining lineups, we’d love to hear what people think.

There is a chance Texas Rangers pitching coach Mike Maddux missed these Yankee tricks….CJ Wilson, now you have a backyard scouting report for ALCS Game 1. Good luck, amigo. Do work.
11. October 2010
Yanks & Phils are in the LCS. Reds & Twins are out. Four teams remain in LDS: Rays, Rangers, Giants & Braves. BSG looks at one player per team for next 2 elimination games. Kinsler, Pena, Diaz & Sanchez, beware. You are a breath of fresh comedy amidst series intensity. Thank you. It’s Who to Watch! www.battingstanceguy.com

The regular season has ended. Already?! One must focus on the last week in order to know what is next. – ancient Chinese sage once said. Well we do that here. Playoffs are set. Records were attained. Even The Hoff will be referenced. It’s the Week in Review!
27. September 2010
Only one week remains in the 2010 MLB regular season. What player is crossing their name off the saddest list in baseball? I won’t give you any hints. It’s the Week in Review…….. from Michael Young’s High School.
8. September 2010
The Cleveland Indians introduced Jason Donald to the loyal Tribe faithful in 2010. His lasting image is holding his helmet with both hands at utter shock of breaking up Galarraga’s perfect game. Rookie Watch highlights the bad smell of that play….surrounded by bad smells. Too bad YouTube doesn’t employ a scratch n’ sniff screen. Rookie Watch 2010!
8. September 2010
Justin Smoak is the prize that landed the Rangers Cliff Lee. Lost fans will appreciate when pitcher Matt Fox faces Justin Smoak. Monster of a showdown. Rookie Watch from the dirty south!
8. September 2010
Brennan Boesch raced out to the hottest start in the AL for 2010 rookies. He has since come back to earth but is leading the Tigers in jersey sales and quirky swing follow-thru’s. Both important. Rookie Watch salutes BB.

Coming to you from the back alleys of Angel Stadium and the All-Star Game FanFest, it’s Batting Stance Guy chatting it up with 2-time Cy Young winner and the 1985 Kansas City Royals’ World Series MVP, Bret Saberhagen. Find out everything you always wanted to know about the former all-star, but were afraid to ask, as BSG gets his take on beaning, stances, and “odd-year” success. Enjoy! ![]()

Been a rough week for the Tampa Bay Rays, but they’ll try and stop the bleeding as they look to avoid the sweep vs. the Padres this afternoon. If not, Evan Longoria won’t be able to cheer himself up with a Starbucks Lemon Loaf. What else does he not like? Find out in Questions From BSG’s Daughters.
22. June 2010
After the Yanks defeat at the hands of the D-Backs last night, the Rays will look to reclaim a share of the best record in the league tonight as they take on the NL West leading San Diego Padres. The Rays will have many questions to answer down the stretch about their ability to hang in the brutal AL East, but first Carlos Pena has to answer questions from BSG’s daughters.
17. June 2010
As interleague play plunges onward, the Tampa Bay Rays take their best-record-in-baseball up against the NL East leading Atlanta Braves as they try to win the series tonight. Rays fans will be hoping for a repeat of Evan Longoria’s 3 RBI Tueday night outing this evening. But first, he’s got the ultimate challenge before him. It’s Who Knows you Better with the Batting Stance Guy.
16. June 2010
Tampa Bay Rays slugger, Carlos Pena, recently ended a 6 game HR streak, coming just 2 games shy of the MLB record held by Dale Long, Don Mattingly, and the recently retired, Ken Griffey Jr. It was the 2nd biggest moment of his 2010 season, as just a few months earlier, to his great surprise, he got to play Who Knows You Better with the Batting Stance Guy. It’s been a big year for Carlos, its been a real big year.
15. June 2010
In honor of the Boston Celtics, and their chance at an NBA title tonight, BSG brings you another group of champions from Beantown. So here they are, the curse-ending, Yankee-beating, Cardinal-dominating, World Champion, 2004 Boston Red Sox. In under a minute.

If you’ve read his book, then you know BSG is a bay area native. If not, Amazon’s got plenty of copies of A Love Letter to Baseball just waiting for you to enjoy! So it was quite the homecoming last week when BSG took the field at Oakland Coliseum to chat it up with the A’s. Only slightly less interesting to the crowd than the post-game fireworks, BSG was still able to talk stances with Andrew Bailey and Daric Barton. Enjoy!
24. May 2010
It was a great weekend of interleague play in NYC, with the Mets taking the subway series 2-1. BSG was recently in Manhattan doing classic stances from both clubs for The Baseball Show on SNY.tv. Meet the Mets ran last week, so, for your Monday, here are the Bronx Bombers. Enjoy!
