A lot of struggling teams turn to ticket deals and other acts of goodwill this time of year, making sure people keep showing up to the games through September. It's not really all that rare, with even the $1 ticket promotion being done every once and awhile. When it's the Miami Marlins doing it, though […]

The Pirates led the Cardinals 3-2 going into the ninth inning. With one out, Daniel Descalso hit a sinking liner into left field. Starling Marte got a beat on the ball and went to catch it…but the ball popped out of his glove with no spurring from anything else. Matt Carpenter struck out for out […]

The Atlanta Braves have placed second baseman Dan Uggla on the 15-day DL following LASIK surgery, and have recalled Tyler Pastornicky from AAA Gwinnett to replace him on the active roster. Uggla's vision has been an issue all season, and he's gone through numerous different contact lenses to attempt to correct his vision issues. The […]

Over in the American League, we're hearing the safe refrain we did last year: "Trout or Cabrera?" Miguel Cabrera's actually having a better year than he did last season when he won the AL's Triple Crown, but Mike Trout's also improved on his 2012. But with each team in completely different places in the standings, […]

According to FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal, there's some tension these days between Los Angeles Angels manager Mike Scioscia and general manager Jerry Dipoto. That's certainly understandable, considering the Halos currently hold fourth place in the AL West. Regardless of what happened this year, you figured the Angels would finish ahead of the Seattle Mariners. (Of […]

Being a Rockies fan is something that would drive me insane. In losing nine out of ten games heading into this past weekend, the team scored just 23 runs, with eight of those coming in one loss. Of course, Colorado has won their last four games, scoring 33 games while sweeping the Pirates and taking […]

Who knew there could be such a demand for a utility infielder batting .191?  The demand for Adam Rosales seems to be limited to the Texas Rangers and Oakland Athletics, who have bounced the poor guy between them like leftover sweet potatoes that no one wants to take home on Thanksgiving. You take him! No, […]

The PED train continues on, and the opinion of Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim center fielder Mike Trout might be one of the more relevant opinions out there. The 22-year old Trout is one of the best players in baseball, and also a guy who grew up watching players break records on a regular basis […]

Pete Rose is in the news once again discussing PEDs and his lifetime suspension with baseball, as if you really wants to know what he thinks about the situation. In an interview with John Phillips of 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh, Rose says that instead of betting on baseball, which got him a lifetime banishment […]

After a very inactive trade deadline this year, talks have intensified among analysts about pushing the trade deadline back in the season, perhaps two weeks into August, perhaps until the end of August. Just two weeks ago on July 31st, there were more teams that considered themselves buyers than sellers. Half of the league was […]

The American League pennant race is getting quite interesting. Sure, the Tigers have a comfortable lead in the AL Central, and the Red Sox have some breathing room in the AL East, but neither team is simply coasting like the Braves over in the NL East. Boston is up three games on the Rays in […]

The Rangers overtook the A's for first place in the AL West for the first time in a month on Saturday by virtue of Texas' 5-4 win in Houston and Oakland's 5-4 loss in Toronto. Oakland has struggled since the Break, playing just 9-11 baseball, while the Rangers have played better at a 13-11 clip. […]
