By Jon Fromi February 19, 2021 0

The Rockford IceHogs have set a franchise record for futility to open a season, dropping two games this past week to fall to 0-4-1 on the 2020-21 campaign. The piglets have been in most of these games. However, the discrepancy in talent is pretty evident. The IceHogs began a four-game home stand by losing to […]

We all pretty much figured that MLB was going to do whatever it could to try and salvage as much of this season as humanly possible, and understandably so. Major League Baseball is a billion dollar business, and those folks don’t like to sit idly by and let that money go up in smoke if […]
