We’re two months into the 2015 MLB season, and the cream is starting to rise to the crop. Plenty of the best players in baseball shined in May, and we’re seeing some truly great seasons begin to unfold. AL Best Hitter of the Month: Jason Kipnis Well, that escalated quickly. Kipnis was worth a ridiculous […]

The Major League Baseball amateur draft is coming around on June 8th this year and more than 1,200 high school and college baseball players will likely be selected from the amateur ranks to pursue the ultimate American dream, being paid millions of dollars each year to play a game. While very few of those drafted […]

After a week that was dominated by Giancarlo Stanton and his ridiculous power stroke, we’re back to basics a bit this week with some rather pedestrian dingers. 1. Ryan Braun vs Tim Lincecum, 465 feet (May 25th) HE HIT THE DAMN BALL OUT OF MILLER PARK. PEDs or no PEDs, that’s impressive. 2. Tim Beckham […]

When the Montreal Expos were sold and moved to Washington, it left a city wanting more. While Montreal is traditionally a hockey town, the love for baseball was obvious, there was never an issue with fandom, which made the move even more devastating. When baseball returned to city, in the form of two exhibition games featuring […]

When the Toronto Blue Jays swung a deal with the Oakland Athletics for All-Star third baseman Josh Donaldson, the return for the A’s seemed a bit on the lighter side. In exchange for a top five WAR player in the league with plenty of years of control, Oakland received oft-injured third basemen Brett Lawrie, 18-year-old […]

The St. Louis Cardinals took a big hit to their lineup this week, losing first baseman Matt Adams to a torn quad muscle for most (likely all) of the season. The Cards don’t really have an in-house replacement for him (unless you count Mark Reyonlds, and… you probably shouldn’t count Mark Reynolds), which leaves them […]

After a series of tumultuous years under former GM Kevin Towers and ex-manager Kirk Gibson, it looks like the Arizona Diamondbacks have turned the corner and are heading for greener pastures. Arizona is just 21-25 this season, but last year, the team fell four games below .500 on April 3rd, and never got to that […]

If you had been running the Rangers in a video game, you probably would have started the season over again following the March and early April they endured this year. The injuries that occurred in rapid succession would make even the most ambitious GM sweat. Unfortunately for first-year manager Jeff Banister, there was no reset button […]

It’s been a tumultuous week for pitchers and banned substances. Less than a week ago, Milwaukee Brewers reliever Will Smith was suspended eight games after being ejected for having a foreign substance on his non-throwing arm. Yesterday, Baltimore Orioles reliever Brian Matusz was suspended for eight games as well, as he was caught with a […]

The Cincinnati Reds are the current owners of a nine game losing streak and 18-26 record and the fourth position in the National League Central Division, already 10.5 games out of the division lead. That number represents the third biggest hole at this point of the year better than just their divisional rival Milwaukee Brewers […]

First base has generally been thought of a position of extreme offense throughout baseball history. Teams have traditionally favored a first baseman that can mash the hell out of the ball rather than a guy with a solid glove, as you generally see in positions up the middle of the field. But when browsing some […]

A bizarre sight at Miller Park today: Brewers outfielder Khris Davis hit a home run, only to be called out on the play for not touching home plate – a call which would be reversed. Here’s how it all went down. After hitting a juicy fastball off of Giants righty Tim Lincecum out of the park, […]
