It is a little early to look at who will be an All-Star this year, but that hasn’t kept Major League Baseball from promoting the online voting and won’t keep us from speculating which players will not be making a return to the Mid-Summer Classic, despite making an appearance at the game last year in […]

The Miami Marlins were nearly no-hit on Sunday, and it was only a Justin Bour single with two outs in the ninth that prevented them from finishing a game with zero hits for the second time in less than eight months. But apparently, “almost” is good enough for Jeffrey Loria and the Marlins – manager Mike […]

Gordon Edes, columnist for ESPN Boston, tweeted last night the Boston Red Sox offered outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. to the Seattle Mariners in exchange for left-handed reliever Charlie Furbush and were told no. The Red Sox making this offer makes sense. Their bullpen posted the 11th best ERA last season (3.33) and adding Furbush would improve […]

Another week in the books, and we’ve got some change in both the yearly top five *and* in THE LIST. When that happens, you know it was a good week. 1. Giancarlo Stanton vs Mike Bolsinger, 467 feet (May 12th) Giancarlo Stanton hit the damn ball out of Dodger Stadium. That’s all you need to […]

Everyone loves a good underdog story. When a team that hasn’t been very good in a few years and didn’t look like anything close to a contender when the season started comes out of the gate hot, baseball fans have found their new favorite team to rally around. This year, no team embodies that scrappy, […]

Jeff Francoeur is a bad baseball player on a bad baseball team. Now 31, the days of “The Natural” are long over. Francoeur has turned into a journeyman since the Braves dumped him onto the Mets in 2009 for Ryan Church, playing for the Mets, Rangers, Royals, Giants, Padres, and Phillies in the majors over the […]

The reigning American League Cy Young award winner came into tonight’s start without a win on the season and many nationally asking if 2014 was a fluke. He left tonight’s start with 18 strike outs and just two base runners allowed, the first pitcher in baseball history to perform such a feat. There have been […]

In late April, Baltimore Orioles employees lost wages for an entire week. Two games were justifiably canceled and one was played in front of an empty Camden Yards stadium, while three others were moved to Tampa Bay where the Orioles acted as the home team. The cancelations were a direct result of civil unrest in Baltimore, […]

Scary story coming out of North Carolina this morning – eight members of the Carolina Mudcats, high-A affiliate of the Atlanta Braves, were taken to the hospital on Tuesday morning after their bus flipped over on the way to Myrtle Beach for a game with the Myrtle Beach Pelicans. Seven players and one coach were […]

The Toronto Blue Jays entered 2015 fully embracing a youth movement. General manager Alex Anthopoulos has a history of sticking with out of option veterans, so it was refreshing to see him stick with the 25 best players for once. The Jays entered the season with a franchise high six rookies on their 25-man roster. These rookies weren’t here […]
