Not the bees! Again. Bees attacked in the middle of the Arizona Diamondbacks-Colorado Rockies game on Thursday afternoon, causing a brief delay:  The Diamondbacks’ afternoon game at Coors Field was delayed for a few minutes in the top of the fifth inning when a large swarm of bees came down the first-base line and past the Colorado Rockies’ […]

One of the more entertaining Twitter accounts in baseball is that of Miami Marlins skipper Ozzie Guillen. His broken English and unfiltered opinions made it a real joy to see the Lonely Island Venezualan family image pop up on my feed along with words spelled completely wrong and, assuming I could make out what he was […]

I noticed something interesting after all the games concluded last night. In both Eastern divisions, there was just one team under .500: the Boston Red Sox at 18-20. Compare that to the Central divisions, which have a total of three teams above .500, and the West, which have three above .500 and one at .500. […]

Tonight, we were supposed to get the marquee pitching matchup of Trevor Bauer vs Danny Hultzen in the AA Southern League. But, it’s not going to happen: Bauer has been promoted to AAA Reno. Bauer is the second of three dominant starters in AA Mobile to get called up, following Pat Corbin’s promotion to the […]

My apologies for my lack of Minor League Monday this week. I had the article written but the Internet swallowed it up whole and wouldn’t spit it out. There were going to be changes to the list. Ended up being as follows: Dylan Bundy, Jurickson Profar, Manny Machado, Miguel Sano, Trevor Bauer, Taijuan Walker, Wil […]

It is never too early to start talking about the trade deadline, especially when we can talk about would-be contenders that might unexpectedly end up being sellers rather than buyers at the deadline.  Over the next few weeks, we’ll be taking a look at many of these such teams, and there is a surprisingly large […]

In the first Angels game post-Mickey Hatcher, the Angels offense had a good night against a pretty good pitcher in Gavin Floyd. The Angels cranked out 12 hits and seven runs in their 7-2 win over the White Sox. Albert Pujols had a three run homer to push his slugging percentage over .300. Mark Trumbo […]

There was a very scary moment in tonight’s Red Sox-Rays game. Boston reliever Franklin Morales hit Rays second baseman Will Rhymes in the right forearm with a 95 mph fastball, and Rhymes looked dazed as he went down to first. He eventually passed out, and many online are assuming it was due to the pain […]

Stephen Strasburg took his first loss of the season on Tuesday against the Padres, allowing four earned runs in just four innings, his shortest outing since September 23, 2011. Strasburg lasted at least six innings in his only other seven starts this season and Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post offered what might be the […]
