Texas Rangers prospect Joey Gallo made his major league debut on Tuesday night against the Chicago White Sox, and after a two-run single in his first at bat in the first inning, Gallo absolutely obliterated a pitch from Jeff Samardzija in his second at bat in the third inning. Well…the power has translated to the […]

Tampa Bay Rays catcher Rene Rivera isn’t the most fleet of foot player in the game today. On Monday night, Rivera did a perfect Willie Mays Hayes impression after Brandon Guyer hit a grounder to Albert Pujols at first base with no outs in the seventh inning. Oh Rene…that’s not good. There’s Erick Aybar, just chilling…waiting […]

During Monday night’s Pirates-Giants game at AT&T Park, Andrew McCutchen could have had a huge night. In both the third and fifth innings, the 2013 NL MVP came up to the plate with the bases loaded and one out. A hit in either situation would have likely plated at least two runs with the speedy […]

Remember when some pundits were questioning how Texas Rangers fans would respond to Josh Hamilton in his second tour of duty with the team? Well, as long as he produces, I think anything that happened in the past is water under the bridge. And on Friday night, Hamilton launched his first two homers of the […]

Colorado Rockies outfield prospect David Dahl was the 10th overall pick in the 2012 MLB Draft, and has been a top 100 prospect in each of the next three seasons. But he’s been swamped by injuries throughout his pro career, playing in a total of just 240 games over those three-plus seasons. On Thursday during […]

Elmer Reyes, a member of the AAA Gwinnett Braves, was charged with kidnapping and rape on Sunday in Columbus, Ohio after a Friday night Gwinnett game with the Columbus Clippers. The Columbus Dispatch has some of the details of the incident, and they’re pretty unsettling. A woman told Columbus police that she and another woman met […]

During Tuesday night’s Giants-Brewers game at Miller Park, Milwaukee outfielder Carlos Gomez wasn’t pleased with fouling off a pitch from Madison Bumgarner, and swore at himself. Bumgarner then threw an inside fastball to Gomez and both players had a staredown before Gomez flew out to end the inning. Gomez then talked about the incident after the […]

Houston Astros minor league shortstop Carlos Correa is arguably the best prospect in Minor League Baseball. On Tuesday night, Correa did something pretty ridiculous – he hit a long homer for the Fresno Grizzlies that left the stadium and hit a building across the street from the park. The Astros have the best record in […]

How many times has Mike Trout robbed hitters of home runs? Throughout his life, probably dozens. In the majors, at least a few. On Tuesday night, he got a taste of his own medicine courtesy of Padres outfielder Will Venable. Well-played, Venable. Maybe if you were better than just “the best player in baseball”, this wouldn’t […]

You’re going to be seeing this one again on Friday, but check out this absurd home run hit by Kris Bryant on Wednesday night off of Nationals reliever Aaron Barrett. It hit the top of the brand spanking new scoreboard in left center field at Wrigley. That’s ridiculous. ESPN Stats and Info measured it at […]

In a revealing interview with Jim Salisbury of CSN Philly, Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. discussed a number of the team’s players and top prospects in the minors. But when talking about promoting pitching prospects Zach Eflin and Aaron Nola to the majors to help bolster a rotation that has struggled past Aaron Harang and […]
