Here’s your 2014 Postseason wrap video

The 2014 Postseason is over. MLB Network has created this incredible video recapping the 32 games we saw this fall, highlighting all of the top moments from the Postseason. There’s also a somber segment regarding the tragic passing of Oscar Taveras. Is it February yet?

Daniel Bryan predictably celebrated the Giants’ championship

During the San Francisco Giants’ World Series run, they adopted WWE superstar Daniel Bryan’s YES! YES! YES! chant. Bryan even appeared at AT&T Park to lead the stadium in the chant during the Postseason, becoming a celebrity mascot of sorts for the club. Naturally, after the Giants won the World Series on Wednesday, he celebrated […]

Astros could ditch Tal’s Hill in Minute Maid Park renovations

Minute Maid Park may be losing one of MLB’s most distinct — but likely not beloved — features in an upcoming renovation. The Houston Astros are planning updates to their home ballpark and the team announced it’s hired an architectural firm, MSA Architects, to explore possibilities for changes to the center field area during the 2016 […]

Ian Desmond takes a shot at Bryce Harper, Cowboys fan

The Redskins beat the Cowboys 20-17 on Monday Night Football last night. Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper is apparently a Cowboys fan, which makes sense given that he was born in 1992, when the whole “America’s Team” narrative was getting shoved down the country’s throat. Ian Desmond had some fun with Harper after the loss, pumping […]

Oscar Taveras

Cardinals outfielder Oscar Taveras tragically passes away

Well, this is absolutely not something we wanted to discuss tonight, or any night, but Cardinals outfielder Oscar Taveras has passed away after a car accident in the Dominican Republic. He was just 22. Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Taveras and his girlfriend, who also passed away in the accident.

Jarrod Dyson makes insane catch to rob Juan Perez

Yeah, the Giants still tied the game on this lineout by Juan Perez – but Jarrod Dyson ensured that they wouldn’t get more than just the one run on the play. Talk about absurd. I wonder if Lorenzo Cain makes that catch if he’s starting in center and not right tonight.

Joe Maddon

Joe Maddon has opted out of his Rays contract

Let the Joe Maddon Derby begin – the Tampa Bay Rays manager has opted out of his contract with the club, rending him a managerial free agent. This wasn’t really unexpected, as rumors of Maddon’s resignation as Rays manager have been swirling since the departure of Andrew Friedman. Maddon skillfully waited until the Diamondbacks, Rangers, […]

Sean Casey went fishing in the Kauffman Stadium fountains

Before Wednesday’s Game 2, MLB Network analyst Sean Casey decided to “go fishing” in the fountains at Kauffman Stadium. The resulting video will be branded into your memory for awhile. I did not need to see that, though the whole “catching Red Lobster dishes” bit was pretty good.

David Ortiz surprises veterans with World Series tickets

This is pretty awesome. A group of veterans showed up at Fenway Park for a special tour, and were surprised by Red Sox DH David Ortiz. Ortiz gave the military personnel a tour of the stadium, and then surprised them with tickets to Game 1 of the World Series tonight in Kansas City. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gy3Hyyt79JI The […]

Tiger Stadium will live again in replica form

Detroit Tigers fans — and aficionados of baseball history — have lamented the vacating of Tiger Stadium after the 1999 season. That feeling of loss was compounded when the ballpark was demolished in 2008. The field is still available for use, thanks in large part to the efforts of organizations like The Navin Field Grounds […]

Illinois store puts Cardinals tissues on sale

Yeah, the White Sox may suck. Yeah, the Cubs may suck. But dammit, this Dekalb, Illinois store is going to take glee in the Cardinals NLCS loss come hell or high water. HOW RUDE. Yet, very well-played.

A San Francisco radio station is boycotting Lorde during the World Series

If you’re in the listening range of KFOG in San Francisco, don’t expect to hear Lorde’s song “Royals” during the World Series. After the Giants beat the Cardinals on Thursday night to win the pennant, the radio station announced on their Facebook page that the song wouldn’t be played as long as the series is […]

Travis Ishikawa’s homer with Russ Hodges’ famous 1951 call

When Travis Ishikawa sent the Giants to the World Series on Thursday, many announcers attempted to replicate Russ Hodges’ famous “THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT” call. Well, MLB.com did all of those guys one better – they overlaid Hodges’ call on Ishikawa’s homer. Baseball, I love you. [Big League Stew]

Yup, Mike Matheny saved his closer for a save situation

The San Francisco Giants won the NL pennant on Thursday night, and Mike Matheny once again managed to the save stat and not the in-game situation. Tie game, bottom of the ninth, one run ends your season…so Matheny goes with Michael Wacha, who hadn’t pitched since September 26th. Yeah, Trevor Rosenthal struggled in the Postseason […]
