On Tuesday, we saw our first cycle of the 2015 season, courtesy of Boston Red Sox utility player Brock Holt. In the bottom of the first, Holt doubled off of Julio Teheran. In the bottom of the fifth, Holt singled off of Teheran. In the bottom of the seventh, Holt homered…off of Teheran. And in […]

On July 2nd, the 2013 NL Rookie of the Year will be back. That’s right – Jose Fernandez will be returning to the field for the Miami Marlins, nearly 14 months after undergoing Tommy John surgery that ended his 2014 season. Of course, going up against the reigning World Champions won’t be an easy task. […]

The Boston Red Sox are a disaster right now. A complete and utter disaster. Heading into Sunday’s game with the Blue Jays, Boston had lost five in a row and were looking to avoid their second straight sweep at the hands of an AL East rival. Eduardo Rodriguez held Toronto scoreless through the first three […]

Pittsburgh Pirates utility player Sean Rodriguez, getting the start in right field, made an incredible diving catch on the warning track during the fifth inning of Sunday’s Phillies-Pirates game, robbing Freddy Galvis of extra bases. Rodriguez isn’t an outfielder by nature. Today marked just his sixth start in the outfield for the Pirates this year, […]

Texas Rangers rookie Joey Gallo can hit baseballs real far. Minnesota Twins rookie JR Graham can throw baseballs real fast. What happens when Gallo connects with a Graham fastball? Well, this. Huh. Well then. Joey Gallo, your power is intriguing to me, and wish to subscribe to your newsletter. The bomb went 471 feet, in case […]

The Washington Nationals could use bullpen help. But then again, who couldn’t? Anyway, Washington is sniffing around a reliever that could solve plenty of their problems – Cincinnati Reds closer Aroldis Chapman. Oh lord, hold me. Yes, a deal is nowhere close, and conversations like this happen between teams on a daily basis. But this one…well, […]

It wasn’t a good night for the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday night. While the team was losing 7-2 to the Royals in the bottom of the eighth inning, Torii Hunter took exception with a called third strike by home plate umpire Mark Ripperger. Ripperger quickly ejected Hunter (and shortly thereafter, Twins manager Paul Molitor)…and then […]

Boston Red Sox center fielder Mookie Betts has been the victim of some bad luck this season. On Wednesday night, he was the victim of a bit more bad fortune, thanks to Baltimore Orioles center fielder Adam Jones. Damn, what a catch. Jones has won three straight AL Gold Gloves (and four in the last six […]

The switch pitcher has arrived. Oakland Athletics reliever Pat Venditte, who can throw as both a lefty and a righty, made his major league debut on Friday night in Boston. Of course, this isn’t exactly a situation you see every day, so we saw some interesting things happen over the course of the day. Earlier […]

It was bound to happen one day – a fan sitting near the field up the first base or third base line would get injured by a bat flying into the stands, and it wouldn’t just be a bruise. That’s what happened at Fenway Park during Friday’s game between the Red Sox and Athletics, when […]

On Tuesday night, Brandon Moss of the Cleveland Indians hit the 100th home run of his career off of Jeremy Guthrie of the Royals. The ball landed in Cleveland’s bullpen, and the merry band of relievers decided to have some fun and create a list of demands for Moss to get the ball back. So, […]

Seattle Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon and catcher Mike Zunino were both ejected during Tuesday night’s Mariners-Yankees game after an appeal on a checked swing by Alex Rodriguez. McClendon then lost his damn mind and went on a ridiculous tirade directed at all four umpires. This was a bit juvenile from McClendon, but what do you […]
