Before this season, when discussing the two wild card setup, a point of discussion was "is any division strong enough to take both of the wild card spots, and send three teams to the playoffs?" The conclusion was that both Eastern divisions had a good shot at that, while the Central had an outside shot, […]

During today's Braves-Giants game, Giants manager Bruce Bochy pinch hit for first baseman Brandon Belt with Justin Christian in the top of the eighth inning. The SportSouth technical team apparently expected Buster Posey to move from behind the plate to first…but instead, Posey stayed behind the plate, Joaquin Arias came into the game to play […]

It's been an interesting week with the plagiarizing/fake insider Twitter account MLBSportsReport, and the cavalcade of nonsense surrounding it all. After some digging, I do believe I've found the culprits behind all of the accounts. There may be more, but this is what I've got right now. I'm going to start by admitting I made […]

Since Matt Kemp returned to the Dodgers' lineup on Friday against the Padres, he's been pretty good….but, he hasn't been the Matt Kemp that dominated the National League in the month of April. Going into Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Kemp had just one extra base hit, a double, in four games since his return. […]

Last season, we brought you the story of Front Row Amy, a voluptuous Brewers fan who sits in the front row of every Brewers game. She's pretty attractive. Anyway, we've been getting more search engine traffic than usual for her, and I did some investigating…and it turns out that this is why. From today's Brewers-Cardinals […]

Your browser does not support iframes. In today's Blue Jays-Yankees game, the injury-ravaged Blue Jays took another blow. Third baseman Brett Lawrie was chasing a pop-up by Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira, and while attempting to make the catch, Lawrie reached over the railing separating the camera well from the field. He lost his balance, […]

Washington Nationals first round pick Lucas Giolito, who signed right at the deadline last Friday, is apparently friends with Samuel L Jackson, the veteran actor from many fantastic movies (including Pulp Fiction, a cult favorite and one of my favorite movies ever, and the three Star Wars prequels). After Giolito signed, Jackson tweeted out the […]

In this USA Today piece by Bob Nightengale, he reveals that the Miami Marlins may be trading numerous assets this month, with a potential blockbuster being discussed that would send Hanley Ramirez and Heath Bell to the Red Sox in exchange for Carl Crawford. Something like that seems absolutely ludicrous on the surface…but the more […]

Orioles GM Dan Duquette is at it again. In a piece on FOXSports just posted by Ken Rosenthal, Duquette had some things to say that might be a little horrifying for fans of the team that are looking for it to build from within, around phenomenal prospects Manny Machado and Dylan Bundy Our future is […]

Going into today, there were a pair of matchups featuring two playoff teams against one another. The NL West leading Giants traveled to wild card (#2) leading Atlanta, and the wild card (#1) leading Angels traveled east to wild card (#2) leading Detroit. Things did not go as expected for the home teams in each […]

We've had quite a day here at TOC in tracking the Twitter account MLBSportsReport, our favorite impostor account running sycophant. The latest update (as of a few hours ago) is that our friend FloridianFalcon is *not* connected to the proprietor of these accounts in any way. Of course, it wouldn't be an hour in the life […]

Melky Cabrera is reviled among Braves fans for his…how do you say…interesting play during the 2010 season, which included quirkiness, laziness, and most importantly, ineffectiveness. The Braves released him two winters ago after acquiring him in December 2009 as part of the Javier Vazquez trade with the Yankees. Cabrera signed on with the Royals, had […]

Late last night, I took a look at the MLBSportsReport Twitter account, and how it was just a ridiculous, poorly executed fake account. Welp, I kept looking att things falling down the rabbit hole, and I've discovered an absolute treasure trove of fake accounts. But before we start, how about a copied and pasted tweet […]
