Your browser does not support iframes. I’m sure you’ve all heard the tales of Mike Trout….but this catch he made in the first inning of tonight’s Angels-Orioles game was unreal. Hardy hit a bomb to right center, and Trout closed fast, before leaping high into the air and snagging the ball from being a homer…the […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=vFIYaIWh9ZU This is graphic, and scary. Pittsburgh Pirates prospect Gerrit Cole, the number one overall pick in last year's amateur draft, was hit in the face with a line drive last night in the Altoona Curve's game against the Harrisburg Senators. Cole has down for a substantial amount of time after he was hit, but […]

 Earlier this afternoon, there was a brief news tidbit saying that Yankees starter Andy Pettitte had taken a ball off of his ankle and left the field during his start against the Indians today. Well, the news about the ankle is in, and it's a shocker:

First off, my apologies for the lack of a DD over the last two days. I had some very interesting computer problems. Technology just hates me this month. Anyway, last night in the Cubs-Mets game, highly touted Cubs first base prospect Anthony Rizzo made his Chicago debut. Hitting in the three hole in the Cubs […]

After tonight's 4-3 Reds win over the Brewers, Cincinnati closer Aroldis Chapman did something you don't see every day in baseball: a pair of somersaults off the mound, popping up in front of astonished Reds catcher Ryan Hanigan. Hanigan and Chapman exchanged a handshake and a brief hug before […]

I'm sure we all know (and adore!) the lovely rule of the MLB All-Star game that stipuates that every team must have a representative in the game. In some years, this leads to some absolutely silly scenarios, like Kevin Correia representing the Pirates last year (while all-world center fielder Andrew McCutchen was relegated to the […]

Red Sox third baseman Kevin Youkilis has been a hot target of trade rumors all week, with a number of teams linked to him. The three apparent front runners for his services were the Dodgers, Indians, and White Sox, and this afternoon, rumors are swirling furiously that he's heading to Chicago.

Jim Thome hit a walkoff homer yesterday as the Phillies beat the Rays 7-6. It was his 13th career walkoff homer, which is the most all-time, breaking a tie that Thome was in with Mickey Mantle, Jimmie Foxx, Babe Ruth, Stan Musial, and Frank Robinson. The game-ending homer was also the 609th of Thome's career, […]

Jason Hammel is having one of the more unheralded seasons in baseball this year for the Orioles, being acquired from the Rockies (along with reliever Matt Lindstrom) for starter Jeremy Guthrie (who isn't even in Colorado's rotation anymore!). In Hammel's last two starts, against the Nationals and Braves (the two top teams in the NL […]
