St Louis Cardinals outfielder Carlos Beltran turns into a freak in October. Going into Monday's game with the Pirates, Beltran has a .360/.463/.794 career Postseason line. That's really, really good – in fact, his 1.257 OPS is the highest ever among players with at least 40 Postseason plate appearances. Yet, there's this sentiment that maybe […]

The American Mustache Institute (which really is a thing that exists) has announced their ten finalists for the Robert Goulet Memorial Mustached American of the Year (also a real thing), and one of the finalists is Bryan Harper, Bryce's older brother. The elder Harper was drafted in the 30th round of the 2011 Draft by […]

The Dodgers smashed the Braves on Sunday, and the Pirates rallied late to beat the Cardinals. Both teams are now one win away from meeting in the NLCS. With the Red Sox leading the Rays 2-0, we could see three teams punch their tickets to the LCS on Monday…or, we could see the Postseason picture […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Atlanta Braves 13-6 in Game 3 of their NL Division Series matchup, taking a 2-1 lead in the series. This was a strange game. Neither starting pitcher got more than nine outs, and that seems like it would be a situation that favored the Braves and their strong bullpen. […]

In the two ALDS games on Saturday, both went largely the same as on Friday – one was a pitchers duel, and one was less so. The Red Sox beat the Rays 7-4 to take a 2-0 series lead, and the A's beat the Tigers 1-0 on a walk off hit by Stephen Vogt. The […]

The Atlanta Braves beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-3 in Game 2 of their NLDS matchup to even the series at one game apiece. What a wild game. Mike Minor got off to a shaky start for Atlanta, walking Mark Ellis and allowing an RBI double to make it a 1-0 game right off the […]

In Game 1 of their AL Division Series matchup, the Boston Red Sox beat the Tampa Bay Rays 12-2 to take a 1-0 series lead. The Rays scored the first two runs of this game thanks to solo homers in the second and fourth innings from Sean Rodriguez and Ben Zobrist, respectively. But from there […]

Matt Harvey was almost universally bashed for his decision to not have Tommy John surgery to repair a torn UCL in his right elbow. Well, Harvey has now decided to go ahead with the surgery. He'll miss all of the 2014 season. Harvey was the best thing to happen in years for the Mets, posting […]

The Pittsburgh Pirates beat the St Louis Cardinals 7-1 in Game 2 of their NLDS matchup to even the series at one game each. Pirates rookie Gerrit Cole made his first career playoff start on Friday, and he dominated a veteran lineup in St Louis. In his six innings of work, Cole allowed one run […]

The Rays are riding a wave of momentum, winning three straight must-win games (including game 162 in Toronto) to set themselves up for a matchup with their division rival, the Boston Red Sox.
