Turning Up the Heat: Is Miami a Playoff Relevant Team?
As the season began to unfold and teams started to develop and progress, there was one team that never quite seemed to reach fruition. They were hampered by injury throughout much of the season prior to the All-Star Break, the Miami Heat have surged as of late, winning 19 of their last 23 games with a hefty double digit game win streak stashed right in the middle of that run. How have the Miami Heat managed to climb back into a, surprisingly interesting Eastern Conference playoff race? More importantly, once in the playoffs, do they have any shot of making any noise. The answer in short, by playing Miami Heat basketball, and they sure do. The long answers are a lot more fun though, check them out.

Dr. Dallas and Mr. Keuchel — The Two Faces of the Astros Ace
Plenty of aces fell off of cliffs in 2016. There was Adam Wainwright, who looked to be moving towards inevitable age-related decline. There was Zack Greinke, who crashed and burned after signing a huge contract. And then there was Dallas Keuchel — the 2015 AL Cy Young Winner.

New England Patriots: Record Breakers & Dynasty Makers
Down 28–3 in the third quarter, facing a white hot Atlanta Falcons offense, they did the unthinkable. Tom Brady and Bill Belichick became two men on a mission to shatter the record books and stun Matt Ryan and Julio Jones in the first overtime game in Super Bowl history in as dramatic fashion as it gets.

Aaron Judge: A Star in the Making
The day I saw the Yankees draft Aaron Judge in the first round out of Fresno State in 2013, I didn’t know too much about him. But once I looked him up, I was extremely impressed in his raw power and athleticism for such an enormous guy. As mentioned above, he stands 6 foot 7, and 282 pounds. Now that’s quite heavy. But this guy is absolutely sheer muscle.

Why Mookie Betts Is Such a Vital Part of the Red Sox
The fact that Mookie Betts hasn’t struck out once all season in over 40 plate appearances is flat out amazing. It just goes to show how great of hand eye coordination Betts has at the plate. In fact, the last time Betts struck out was last September against Oliver Drake, who now pitches for the Brewers.

Dylan Bundy Is Emerging as the Ace of the Orioles Rotation
It’s been a long, winding road for Dylan Bundy. Snagged up fourth overall in the 2011 draft out of an Oklahoma high school, it didn’t take long for Bundy to reach the big leagues. He would make his Major League debut just over a year later for Baltimore. Since 2012, Bundy has had numerous injuries: Tommy John, lat strains, shoulder problems, and elbow soreness.

Analyzing Madison Bumgarner’s Swing: What Makes Him Such a Threat at the Plate?
One of the best pitchers to ever toe the rubber is also a serious power threat at the plate. MadBum can do it all. When you think of Madison Bumgarner, you usually think of lights out performances on the mound. Bumgarner is absolutely filthy with a three quarters arm slot and a wipeout slider. Arguably one of the best pitchers in the bigs, MadBum has proven he can also hit.
