Broshuis: Saying goodbye to an old friend proves tough

I have so many memories of this place. I have learned so much, many times the hard way. The teams I have played on here have been less than marvelous, and I personally have had my share of ups and downs. For some reason, though, I've grown fond of ...

Broshuis: Agony of defeat is greater than thrill of victory

It's 2 a.m., and I'm rolling in my bed. A thousand questions are going through my mind. They are all questions that have no answers. "Why didn't I just throw an inside fastball? I should've recognized that better. It was so obvious. Am I ever going ...

Broshuis: Some of tomorrow's big leaguers are now in the Eastern League

Sometimes, though, the best players in the league aren't the best prospects. The best players often are more refined, and sometimes they're a little older. They are closer to being finished products, and as such, they aren't the greatest prospects ...

Broshuis: Lessons learned from rehabbing major leaguers

It took what seemed like two minutes for Big Papi to step in the batter's box with no one on and two outs in the first inning. The sellout crowd was on its feet. A true showman, Big Papi gave the crowd a couple of looks, a full grin and a small wave ...

Broshuis: Life in the minors: No escape in New York

This feeling was of my choosing; it was what I desired for our All-Star break. Some players went camping to get lost in the forest; I went to the city to get lost in people. A short, mindless break from baseball, this was what all of us were ...

Broshuis: Life in the minors: Finally, a chance to rest

We have played 30 games in the past 28 days, without a day off. The usual wear and tear of playing every day is obvious. Bumps and bruises are showing like mold on bread, and the bullpen is worn thinner than my lucky socks. We're in such need of a ...

Broshuis: Life in the minors: The maple vs. ash bat battle heats up

Being a pitcher, I am not a fan of the crack of the bat. I spend all of my time learning how to avoid this miserable sound, and in fact try to do my best to break bats. Other pitchers attempt to do the same, and lately, this has been identified as a ...

Broshuis: A teammate who parties is an enigma to us all

Every team has one or two beasts of this species, and they can usually be spotted hugging a water cooler with a huge dip in their mouth, gazing the crowd in search of future victims when they should really be paying attention to the game. Today I ...

Broshuis: Baseball season makes it hard to be there for family members

One of our relievers, Osiris Matos, recently lost a grandmother. I walked into the clubhouse one day and saw my friend in tears. I asked one of the other Spanish-speaking players what had happened, and he gave me the news. Apparently, she had been ...

Broshuis: Life in the minors: Weathering through a sub. 500 record

I've been working tirelessly my last couple of starts, trying to get back to the elusive .500 mark. I'm sitting at 4-5, and attaining that fifth victory has proved to be as hard as finding water on Mars. I even had a start where I gave up one run in ...
