Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know – it’s Spring Training, and what happens doesn’t matter all that much, and blah blah blah. But on Monday night, Mike Napoli hit a home run that broke his bat. It was ridiculous, incredible, and completely awesome. Imagine being Brian Duensing here. You jam Napoli and do enough to break […]

Oh god, cue the outrage from Scott Boras and tortured Cubs fans – barring an injury, Kris Bryant won’t start the year in the majors. And hey, Javier Baez won’t be there either! Bryant hit approximately 800 home runs this spring for Chicago, and the Cubs not breaking camp with him indicates that they’re not […]

The Nationals played the Mets today in Port St. Lucie. In the top of the sixth inning, Bryce Harper faced Jacob deGrom and did *this* to a 2-0, 93 mph fastball. Yeah, that dinger cleared the damn roof of the patio way out in right field at Tradition Field. I don’t even want to begin to try […]

I like what the Chicago White Sox did this winter. They’re going to be a pretty entertaining team to watch. However, this is terrible. Coming soon to a ballpark near you: pic.twitter.com/bQQkNPV1ND — Chicago White Sox (@whitesox)

Are you sick to death of the seemingly neverending battle between the Chicago Cubs and the owners of rooftop clubs outside of Wrigley Field? The war between the two entities is still raging on, but it took an interesting turn this week – one of the rooftop owners was indicted on four counts of mail […]

On Friday morning, Justin Verlander grabbed a coffee at Starbucks. He was behind a young Tigers fan in line, and that Tigers fan was wearing a Verlander shirsey. I can only imagine the look on this child’s face when he turned around… Love having my fans support!! This little guy was pretty surprised when he turned […]

The battle over Kris Bryant’s service time clock, which hasn’t even started yet, was just taken in a bit of a personal direction by Bryant’s agent, Scott Boras. While speaking with Jon Heyman of CBS Sports, Boras dragged out the Cubs’ history of losing as a reason to bring him up for Opening Day. “The […]

A few years ago, I was at a ballgame when my friend inexplicably lost control of the nachos he was holding, and they went all over the back of the guy sitting in front of him. It was a bit awkward watching the last few innings behind a guy who had cheese and onions on […]

Oakland Athletics GM Billy Beane will be doing some work with one of his other passions – soccer. Dutch club AZ Alkmaar of the Eredivisie has hired Beane as an adviser with an eye towards helping them compete in the top-rated Dutch league against competition like Ajax, Feyenoord, and PSV Eindhoven. The Guardian has some […]

This is on my short list of “best promotions” for the 2015 season. The Durham Bulls, AAA affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays, will be holding a Game of Thrones Night on April 23rd, and it sounds pretty awesome. Here are some of the details from the Bulls. -Good guys & bad guys: we’re playing […]

This rolled across social media on Monday night, and the only thing I can think is “poor Tommy Lasorda is losing his damn mind this spring”. Turn down for what?! A video posted by Thomas Charles Lasorda (@tommy2lasorda) on Mar 16, 2015 at 7:42pm PDT Please let a Vin Scully video pop up next. That […]

This is just getting ridiculous – it appears Mets starter Zack Wheeler is the latest promising young MLB pitcher to tear his UCL. Tommy John surgery looks like a surefire bet for his near future. Wheeler is just 24, and in 49 starts with the Mets, he has a 3.50 ERA over 285 1/3 innings. […]
