Baseball from a Dutch point of view since 2014
vs What a game it was. Game two of the ALDS between the Tigers and the Orioles. The O's took a 2-0 lead after Jonathan Schoop got on base on the first single for Baltimore in the bottom of the third. Nick Markakis took Schoop with him when he hit a homerun. At least, …

vs What a night it was for Jonathan Schoop. Not only did his team, the Baltimore Orioles, win with a big margin, Jonathan himself performed very well. In the bottom of the second inning Jonathan was responsible indirectly for the run that the Orioles scored. With Ryan Flaherty on first, Jonathan singled on a …

vs In game one Diegomar Markwell was hit hard and Kevin Heijstek was practically unhittable. Game three was the other way around. Kevin Heijstek struggled in the first two innings. He allowed two runs on four hits in the first inning. In the second he allowed one more run on two hits, but eventually …
Since 2004 I am addicted to Minor League baseball. Not that it is easy to attend a game when you live in the Netherlands, but I love the way those clubs are more focused on families, children and the related entertainment. In 2008 I attended my first Minor League game at Adelanto, CA. The High …
vs Tonight, game three will be played at the home field of L&D Amsterdam Pirates. I am going to attend, so I am really looking forward to this game. I wonder who will be the starters for both teams. Since Kevin Heijstek pitched on Saturday, he has had four days …
The KNBSB has appointed Gijs Seldenrijk as the successor of leaving technical manager Robert Eenhoorn. Eenhoorn has found a new challenge as manager of soccer club AZ from Alkmaar. Gijs Seldenrijk is a well known name in the Dutch baseball world. Since 1991 he has worked for …
The regular MLB season is over. Most players are done, but a few are privileged that they can play in the playoffs. Xander Bogaerts Xander sat out the final game of the seaon in the dugout. This was a huge disappointment for him because he wanted to play in Derek Jeter's last game (at Fenway …

With the Braves signing a new PDC with the Carolina Mudcats , the complete Minor League affiliation landscape is set. The only team that remains without a PDC is the High Desert Mavericks, but since the Texas Rangers haven't been able to make a deal with the Mudcats, they are expected to sign a two …
The baseball world knows the story of how Dutch baseball is doing internationally. All the players from the Netherlands Antilles and from the European mainland are well known. But what the world doesn't know is the hard times that some clubs have. Through the years, I have seen clubs disappear: - Amstel Tijgers, three time …

Yesterday was the last day of the regular competition. A couple of them didn't get any playing time. Roger Bernadina had a great day at bat. He went 2 for 2 after manager Don Mattingly let him enter the game in the fifth inning. Roger drove in four runs, three of them with a homerun. …

vs In a game where both teams showed some flexibility and in which the score moved back and forth, Mampaey The Hawks tied the series at one. Mampaey The Hawks scored the first run, but trailed 3-1 right away after the first inning was over. In the next inning, the club from Dordrecht …

vs Like I wrote last week, Mampaey the Hawks (last in the Hoofdklasse) and DSS (winner of the Overgangsklasse) will play a best-of-five series to decide who will play in the highest league in the Netherlands next year. The road team, DSS from Haarlem, scored the opening run in the top of the …

vs Yesterday, L&D Amsterdam Pirates headed to Rotterdam to take on still reigning champion DOOR Neptunus. In the first game of the best of seven series, things went rather different than I expected. Even though I am rooting for L&D Amsterdam Pirates, I think that DOOR Neptunus is the team to beat. IMHO, DOOR …
As a Yankee fan, I couldn't let this pass by without mentioning it. Last night was Derek Jeter's last game at Yankee Stadium. End of an era. End of one of the greatest eras in the history of the Yankees. Sure Jeter still has to play three games in Boston, where I hope the fans …
