The Game of the Day featured below is one of the nuttiest games we’ve seen all year, but there were quite a few games that nearly matched the drama of that one. -The A’s were down 6-0 to the Red Sox going into the ninth inning, but managed to score three times and bring the […]

  It’s kind of funny. The Braves have already lost their chokehold on the NL East. They’ve lost four straight, and when combined with the Nationals winning three in a row, Atlanta’s NL East lead is down to just half a game. Hell, Washington now has the better run differential. Then again, we expected this […]

This week was actually kind of…unremarkable for long home runs. Well, minus a personal favorite of mine, of course. 1. Juan Francisco vs Junichi Tazawa, 467 feet (April 26th) For reasons I can’t quite rationally explain, Juan Francisco is one of my favorite players in all of baseball. He tends to do this a lot […]

After getting swept this week in Miami and getting outscored 23-7, Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez is wondering about the Marlins possibly stealing signs from his club. “If you would have taken a look at our dugout at one point in the game, it was like the fourth or fifth inning, they were hitting balls everywhere, […]

A doubleheader here, a doubleheader there…the torrents of rain that smashed the northeast this week forced numerous games to be postponed, and we had three doubleheaders on Thursday – two split (Dodgers-Twins, Rays-Red Sox) and one traditional (Pirates-Orioles). And the funny thing is, all three ended with sweeps – two by the road team, as […]

Happy days are here again – it’s time to discuss the best and worst players of the first month of the 2014 MLB season. As usual, there were several standout performers you never expected, and several stars that fell flat. AL Best Hitter of April – Jose Bautista. With all due respect to Mike Trout, […]

This week’s best defensive plays of the week feature players crashing into walls, players getting awkward, and players unveiling cannons. April 24th, Twins vs Rays – Desmond Jennings keeps the Rays alive. Ninth inning, one out, runner on first, Rays down two…Desmond Jennings kept Tampa Bay in the game with this fantastic basket catch, complete […]

I hate to get all depressing, but rain was once again a factor on Wednesday night. This time, several teams didn’t even bother starting – four games were postponed before a pitch was even thrown or a fan had been let through the gates. While this does completely suck, we’ll get a break with *three* […]

Matt Cain didn’t start for the Giants on Tuesday night, and people immediately began freaking out when Yusmeiro Petit took the mound at AT&T Park. Initial word began to trickle in that Cain was scratched because of a cut on his finger as opposed to any arm problems, which is a good thing. Petit also […]

Rain was a factor all throughout baseball on Tuesday night. A pair of games, Dodgers-Twins and Pirates-Orioles, were never started and postponed. Several other games, including Tigers-White Sox, Mets-Phillies, Cubs-Reds, and Blue Jays-Royals, all featured substantial rain delays. Nights like this suck – the evening just turns into a mess of rain and mud, turning […]

LHP Mike Minor will make his first start of the season on Friday vs. San Francisco. — Atlanta Braves (@Braves) April 29, 2014

This past week featured even more exciting walk offs, adding to a season that has been pretty awesome so far. April 23rd, Astros vs Mariners – Seager time again. Seattle’s offense was dormant for most of this game, notching two hits through the first six innings of the game. Then in the seventh, a Kyle […]
