Mike Trout’s hometown is invading Citizens Bank Park tonight

Tuesday night’s Angels-Phillies game at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia will be a homecoming for Mike Trout, who grew up in nearby Millville. But this isn’t going to be any regular homecoming – approximately 8,000 fans from Millville will be in attendance at the game. That’s nearly 20% the capacity of Citizens Bank Park, and […]

Real Tweets from Real People: Jose Fernandez is broken

On Monday, the baseball world heard news that it absolutely did not need to hear – Miami Marlins Jose Fernandez was going on the disabled list with a strained right elbow, and that Tommy John surgery was a reasonable expectation. As a baseball fan, it’s awful. I can’t imagine how the 12 diehard Marlins fans […]

Dugout Digest – an awful night for baseball

  To hell with everything that happened on the field on Monday. Jose Fernandez has been placed on the DL and probably needs Tommy John surgery. Everything I know in life is a lie. This sucks. I don’t have anything else to say, aside from “we’ll have more on this today”. Game of the Night: […]

Dugout Digest – Jeckyll and Hyde

The Miami Marlins are one of the most confusing teams in baseball. At Marlins Park, they cannot be stopped – the team is 17-5 at home this year, and they’ve outscored their opponents by 55 runs in those 22 games. On the road, the club is a mess – they’re 3-13 and have been outscored […]

Dugout Digest – a tight race

  We all kind of expected that the AL West would be a meat grinder this season. And here on Mother’s Day, it’s just about lived up to the hype. After a slow start, the Mariners are clicking in all cylinders and have surpassed the Angels and Rangers to claim second place in the division […]

Dugout Digest – so close

Yu Darvish came so close to another no-hitter on Friday night. He didn’t allow a hit through 8 2/3 innings, but David Ortiz punched a hit through Texas’ shift to end Darvish’s bid at history. Darvish was perfect through 6 2/3 innings, but a controversial error call on right fielder Alex Rios broke that up. […]

Dugout Digest – in the tank

  The Philadelphia Phillies are on the struggle bus. At 15-18, they’re last in the National League East, only the Astros, Padres, and Diamondbacks have a worse run differential than their -31. Their offense has been pitiful as of late, scoring just 12 runs in their last five games, with eight of those 12 runs […]

A fan painted O.co Coliseum during the Mariners-Athletics doubleheader

So, what can someone do at the ballpark when your team has a single admission doubleheader? How about sit in the outfield and paint a picture of the stadium? That’e exactly what this fan did during the Mariners-Athletics doubleheader on Wednesday, and the results were pretty great. That’s a gorgeous representation of the park, and the fact that she did it while sitting in the stands is pretty awesome.
