Domonic Brown of the Phillies has largely struggled in his major league career…until the calendar turned to May this year. Last month, Brown hit 12 homers in 109 at bats and posted a .991 OPS without the benefit of a walk. Through two games in June, Brown has added another homer to his total and […]

The walkoff single. The walkoff homer. The walkoff double. The walkoff…walk. We've seen all of them this week. We've now also seen one of the most impossible walkoff hits for anyone to achieve: the walkoff triple. That's what happened in Minnesota yesterday, when Ryan Doumit of all players hit a walkoff triple to gvie the […]

We did this last month to a pretty nice level of success, so we're back again for round two. Here are the best and worst MLB players for the month of May. AL Hitter of the Month Miguel Cabrera, Tigers. The reigning AL MVP has caught fire once again. For the month, Cabrera hit a […]

During a DD earlier this week, I wrote about how a long game isn't necessarily a good game. Well, the Blue Jays-Padres game in San Diego last night beat home that point in spades. A double by Jedd Gyorko tied the game at three in the fifth inning, and then both teams fell into the […]

During Sunday's 5 PM edition of MLB Tonight, MLB Network will be airing a feature on Jeff Allison, the 16th overall pick in the 2003 MLB Draft by the (then) Florida Marlins. Going into the 2004 season, he was the third best prospect in Florida's organization, and the 44th best prospect in all of baseball. […]

The Pittsburgh Pirates have the second-best record in all of baseball. They have a 19-8 record thusfar in May with one game left tonight. They just took three out of four from the defending AL champion Tigers. They haven't lost consecutive games in over three weeks. They haven't lost a series since the first weekend […]

(EDITOR'S NOTE: It was announced after the writing of this post that Jack Maloof was relieved of his hitting coach duties and replaced on an interim basis by George Brett) The Kansas City Royals are once again a disappointment. After an off-season of aggressive trades and signings, they had hoped to compete in the AL […]

On Tuesday, I looked at the young MLB players who have been major disappointments for their clubs so far this year. Demotion to the minors could be imminent for the six names I listed.  It only seemed fair to follow that column up by highlighting those players who have been breakout surprises two months into […]

Jose Canseco has been in the news a lot lately, mostly due to the allegations of rape against him and the resulting fallout. But while the past couple of weeks may have driven Canseco up the wall, he had one of the worst weeks of his career 20 years ago. Wednesday, May 26, 1993. Canseco's […]

It was an eventful night in MLB last night. We saw a pair of three homer game, and a trio of two homer games as well. The worst offender? That would be Camden Yards, where the Nationals and Orioles combined for eight homers in Baltimore's 9-6 win. A close second would be Philadelphia, where five […]
