What is … The Dongers Club?

Another season is upon us and I will once again be keeping with the same core structure that has made my daily Dongers Club articles so consistent throughout the years.  This is a sample write-up that serves to explain the type of content which is in The Dongers Club. The Goal of my Articles … is to always provide clarity and quality advice/analysis no matter what the sport.  In Baseball I love larger slates more than the average person, and one reason for this is that I find I am good at avoiding the mistakes that others fall into when there are more games on a slate.  So when doing my MLB article you will find that I am going to keep it short (but not too short) and sweet (but not too plain) when breaking things down.  I understand that many people are reading my article sometimes 15-30 minutes before the slate locks and you only have a few minutes to quickly gather information and don’t want to sit through 8 paragraphs breaking down a pitch which some kid is going to throw 10 times before being pulled in the second inning.  So I write towards that, but at the same time, the most important aspect of the Dongers Club is to not be vanilla every single day of the year.  Baseball is a long season, we gotta enjoy it. When does the article post …? Consistently I post the article 2-3 hours before the slate locks.  So on Monday-Friday that’s going to be posting between 4:30 and 5:00 pm EST.  Why do I wait instead of doing it in the morning?  Lineups and weather.  Mostly the lineups though.  I typically know who is likely to play for each team on a given day but one thing that I hate having to do is write-up a pitcher or team or player and then adjust it due to the game being PPD or a lineup scratch, etc.  So I prefer to wait for most of that noise to get out.  You will be able to count on your hands the number of times the article is not posted ~2 hours before a slate locks (excluding Sunday’s).  Some early slates will differ, but for the Main slates, you have a 2 hour warning. What is my #1 pet peeve …? Here’s something that I don’t say enough but if you catch me […]
