Alex Gordon carted off field after suffering left groin strain

This certainly isn’t how the Kansas City Royals wanted to go into the All-Star break. Actually, there’s no point of the season during which the best team in the AL wants to lose its best player.

Chase Utley will no longer be the Phillies’ every day second baseman

Chase Utley is on the DL right now for the Philadelphia Phillies, don’t expect to see him immediately slide back into their lineup with the familiar “4” next to his name. Before Tuesday’s game with the Dodgers in Los Angeles, GM Ruben Amaro was asked about Utley’s role when he returned. Amaro didn’t commit to […]

Cardinals send rookies to Wrigleyville Starbucks to pick up order

It’s easy and popular to mock the Cardinals these day, especially when it comes to the “Cardinals Way” and “Best Fans in Baseball” platitudes often associated with the team and its fanbase. (Oh, and then there’s that whole hacking scandal.) But let’s give the Cards a little bit of credit for originality when it comes […]

Jon Lester finally got his first hit

Going into Monday night’s Cardinals-Cubs game, Chicago starter Jon Lester was 0/66 at the dish to start his career. Well, now he’s 1/67…though that one hit came in an unlikely way. An infield single….off the foot of former teammate John Lackey, nonetheless. It’s all downhill from here, Jon.

Houston Astros outfielder Jake Marisnick made a wonderful catch on Sunday to rob Brock Holt of extra bases, and earned himself a face full of Green Monster (phrasing…) for his troubles.

Hacking fallout – Cardinals fire scouting director

Remember when the narrative surrounding the saga of St. Louis Cardinals staffers hacking a Houston Astros database was “well, it must have been a low level member of the front office”?

Jose Fernandez homered in his 2015 debut

Jose Fernandez made his 2015 debut on Thursday following Tommy John surgery last May. But the biggest highlight of the day for Fernandez and the Marlins didn’t come on the mound – it came in the batter’s box. That’s a pretty ridiculous homer, and it came off of another guy making his 2014 debut, Matt […]
