| Breaking News |  | Friday, November 14th, 2014: World Wide Baseball League News: Arbitration Hearings
The WWBL salary arbitration hearings will be held today.
For a few fleeting hours, general managers, players, and their mouthpieces will conduct a risky game of verbal tug-of-war.
Players, used to settling their scores on the field, could make millions, or find their paychecks slashed summarily. When the decisions are announced tomorrow, general managers will have a much better grasp of their budget in the upcoming free agent market.
One thing is for certain--when the results go public tomorrow, someone in World Wide Baseball League won't be happy.

 | Sunday, November 2nd, 2014: Hardt Cruises to Shutout
"That's one thing that has never changed in this game -- pitching can control hitting," the Nuts manager told reporters after today's game.
The Puas ran into a buzzsaw as Jeff Hardt cut them down to size 1-0 with a 3-hit shutout.
His skipper added, "He knows exactly what he's doing. He's not going to throw you a good pitch until you make him throw one."
In the complete game whitewash the Mauna Loa hurler doled out 3 walks and registered 6 strikeouts.
In the postgame press conference his catcher said, "Jeff goes out there and just goes about his business. I don't think he gets too concerned about what's going on. You can call any pitch and you know where he's going to be."
Hardt also got some praise from the Kapolei manager.
"He really kept us in check today. Everything looked to be moving. Seemed like the pitch was right down the middle and it went over down and away... we took some pathetic swings."
To date in 2014, Hardt sports a 1-3 mark with a 3.73 ERA in 5 starting assignments. He has held the opposition to a .270 batting average and has 28 strikeouts in 31.1 innings.
