In the seventh inning of Tuesday’s Orioles-Blue Jays game, Baltimore rookie Jason Garcia threw behind Jose Bautista. Instead of making this  big thing, with beanballs fired back and forth, Bautista settled the matter in the perfect way – with a long home run and some jaw jacking. That’s how you do it. Make them pay […]

By now, you’ve probably heard about Reds manager Bryan Price’s profanity-laden tirade aimed at a reporter. Price managed to drop 77 F-bombs over the course of his rant, an impressive number for just the sheer will it must have taken to insert it into every sentence. It’s been awhile since we’ve seen a meltdown this […]

We’re only a little over two weeks into the 2015 season but Ryan Braun has been having some pretty might struggles at the plate. He’s only hitting 238/273/310 with a 2.3% walk rate. He only just hit his first home run of the season on Monday. After the suspension and especially the thumb injury people are […]

The 2015 season is barely two weeks old, but we’ve already witnessed a mass outpouring of offensive firepower from a few select hitters. Big names like Mike Trout, Miguel Cabrera and Paul Goldschmidt are already atop the WAR leaderboards, but what about the not-so prominent hitters? Let’s take a look at a handful of non-star […]

By most accounts, the Atlanta Braves’ start to the 2015 season is a shocker. Projected to finish fourth in the NL East this season, the Braves sit in second place through 12 games at 8-4, a game and a half behind the New York Mets and 2.5 games clear of the struggling Washington Nationals. The Braves […]

In case you were wondering whether or not Brett Lawrie’s hard slide into second base on Friday that injured Alcides Escobar would have repercussions, well, it did. On Saturday, Royals starter Yordano Ventura plunked Lawrie, leading to his immediate ejection from the game. There’s a lot not to like about Ventura throwing at Lawrie. For […]

We’re in a drought. No, not the literal kind (unless you live in California), I’m talking about the offensive kind. Still a little murky? Fine, we’re in a pitching heavy era of baseball. Does that clear it up? See, the steroid era that lasted for more than 20 years allowed us as fans to become […]

Everybody loves prospects, or at least the idea of prospects, to the point where the hype surrounding them can go off the charts. It reaches a point where every prospect is going to be great, every prospect is the next (great player X), and none of them will ever disappoint. That’s not to say that […]

The balls aren’t starting to fly out of the park quite yet, but we still had some pretty majestic blasts over the second week of the 2015 MLB season, and our top five for the year was almost completely overhauled. 1. Steven Souza Jr. vs Daniel Norris, 463 feet (April 14th) This is just ridiculous. […]

As the classic Queen song goes, “another one bites the dust.” This could also serve as the April refrain for the New York Mets. On Tuesday, third baseman David Wright was placed on the 15-day DL due to a strained hamstring. Wright joins the growing list of players for the Mets that are currently not contributing […]

The time is now – the Chicago Cubs are calling up third baseman Kris Bryant for Friday’s game with the Padres. EVERYBODY FREAK OUT! Earlier today, we wondered whether or not a Bryant callup would be looming for the Cubs. Clearly, that callup was looming, and is indeed happening in the immediate future. Bryant spent […]
