During Monday's Braves-Nationals extra inning marathon, Braves reliever Luis Avilan struck out Nationals phenom Bryce Harper swinging to end the 11th inning on an absolutely filthy curveball. After the inning-ending strikeout, the 19-year old Harper slammed his bat into the dirt around home plate and split the bat in […]

Lost in all the hoopla in the league right now is that the Seattle Mariners are playing some really good baseball. Seattle is 23-13 since the All-Star Break, and is a +28 in those 36 games. They're 8-1 in their last nine games, which includes a sweep of the Twins and series wins against the […]

We all know Giancarlo Stanton hits monster homers, right? Well Monday night in Phoenix, Stanton may have topped his previous moonshots in terms of sheer impressiveness with this shot that went into the third deck at Chase Field off of the always homer-prone Joe Saunders Your browser does not support iframes. Really? Yeah, really. Stanton […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=eXo-eathEgE Deadspin posted this video today of Indians closer Chris Perez arguing with a fan in Oakland. Perez swore at the fan who was heckling him, and his best comebacks were "I have more saves than your entire team!" and "I was an All-Star again this year!", while the fan's major comeback was "LOOK AT […]

With the Rockies in the first half of this season, Jeremy Guthrie was beyond awful. I don't even need to rattle the stats off. They were *bad*. But since a trade to the Royals last month, Guthrie has been…dare I say…pretty damn good. In his six starts with Kansas City, Guthrie has a 3.23 ERA, […]

I normally don't feature the same game two days in a row, but this is a special circumstance. Last night, the Angels were up 8-0 on the Rays through four, and everything looked right with the world. Of course…this is the 2012 Angels we're talking about here. And quite frankly, you can't pin this loss […]

The Houston Astros continued revamping their franchise under new owner Jim Crane by firing manager Brad Mills, along with first base coach Bobby Meacham and hitting coach Mike Barnett. Houston has far and away been the worst team in baseball this year, with a pathetic 39-82 record that is nine games worse than the Cubs […]

The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim are collapsing. Since the All-Star Break, the Angels have gone 14-20. They've gone from three games up in the wild card standings to 2.5 back. In the AL West, the Angels have lost three games in the standings, falling to seven back behind a Rangers team that has been […]

Your browser does not support iframes. When you hear the name "Giancarlo Stanton", the one baseball trait that should come to your mind is "massive homers". In tonight's Marlins-Rockies game at Coors Field, Stanton delivered one of his trademark blasts to left center that landed five rows from the top of the concourse. As soon […]

Our former associate editor Matt Lindner has unearthed a cool little cool thing the Cubs are doing: offering a Groupon (for the low price of $30,000) for a fan to throw out the first pitch before a ballgame, along with some other assorted perks.  The Groupon, which is still available and has just one total […]

The Braves are transitioning to a six man starting rotation today, when they activate Tommy Hanson off of the DL. However, last night's performance from Kris Medlen has really made the conversation about how to knock out of the rotation on August 30th a little silly. Medlen threw a complete game shutout in Atlanta's 6-0 […]
