With runners on the corners, Miami Marlins pitcher Tom Koehler took a Chris Carter line drive off his back, but rather than hitting him square, it ricocheted up in the air just beyond second base where shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria was waiting to catch it.

In a 0-0 game in the bottom of the 8th inning, Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas hit a lazy fly ball down the left-field line. Raburn slid for it, but the ball bounced off his glove and rolled over to the wall. Moustakas seemed content jogging into second for a stand-up double until […]

Cliff Lee’s return from the disabled list was a real stinker, so he ended his post-game interview rather fartingly fittingly. Did y’all get that on tape? Yes, yes they did, and it sounded really wet, Cliff.

You know the saying if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it? Well, the Home Run Derby must be broke, because Major League Baseball keeps trying to fix it by changing it every year. While the end goal is still the same — hit as many home runs as humanly possible and get Chris Berman to throw out […]

After all, despite nearing 40 years old, Nathan had saved 80 games over his previous two seasons with an ERA just over 2.00 and a […]

You don’t often hear about umpires missing any time due to injuries, but if there are umpires whose time away from the game would make headlines, Tim McClelland would be one. The 31-year veteran ump will miss the entire 2014 season due to a back injury, for which he couldn’t get doctors to clear him. […]

21-year-old Bryce Harper hasn’t started a game lower than fifth in the lineup since the first four games of his career. On Wednesday night, first-year manager Matt Williams decided to plug the young face of baseball into the sixth spot. Williams’ explanation to The Washington Post was, um, perplexing. Williams said that he wants to take […]

Tuesday night’s game between the Oakland A’s and Cleveland Indians was postponed due to rain. Rainouts happen, but not at Oakland’s O.co Coliseum. It is the the first day-night doubleheader in the Coliseum’s history. A’s beat writer Jane Lee says the A’s will toy around with their rotation as a result of the postponement, calling up a […]

The tweet and corresponding picture kind of speaks for itself [via Big League Stew]: The statute depicts Shannon Stone and his son Cooper. In 2011, Shannon stumbled and fell 20 feet to his death after reaching for a ball tossed to him by Josh Hamilton. The Rangers dedicated the statute to fans the next year […]
