J.P. Arencibia became the third (!!!!!) position player to take the hill for the Texas Rangers this year, following in the footsteps of Mitch Moreland fellow backstop Chris Gimenez. And boy, it was bizarre. . It’s worth noting that Gimenez was designated for assignment by the Rangers and assigned to AAA, while Moreland is on […]

Hey, is it all right with you guys if we just hang out around home plate while you’re playing baseball? Oh, wait — that’s Miguel Cabrera! Let’s just stay here and watch him. We’re not in the way, are we? Cool? Cool.  We’re not positive these were the exact thoughts of the two pigeons that […]

The Kansas City Royals moved into first place in the AL Central after beating the Oakland Athletics on Monday night at Kauffman Stadium. After catching the final out, he celebrated with a backflip. If this was the Royals franchise of a decade ago, Dyson probably would have broken his ankle.

Awful news for the Baltimore Orioles – former All-Star third baseman Manny Machado left Monday night’s game with the New York Yankees with *another* knee injury, this one to his right knee. Thankfully, the injury doesn’t appear as serious this time – initial word is that its a sprained knee. If that’s all, the first […]

Like, I don’t even know what to say about this. The Baltimore Orioles are one of the better defensive teams in the majors, and this entire sequence was just a mess. I think I’m just going to copy and paste the play description from ESPN’s summary. C Beltran stole home, C Headley stole second. C […]

This fan at Wrigley Field saved a homer! Well…kind of. He made a spectacular catch, but didn’t prevent the run from going on the board. Yeah, the fan caught the home run ball…but it was already gone. He just prevented the ball from leaving Wrigley Field and heading onto Waveland Avenue. Of course, he also swapped […]

Josh Reddick is one of the better defensive outfielders in the American League. However, he did *not* show that when trying to throw the ball back into the infield in the first inning on Monday against the Royals. Well, at least a run didn’t immediately score. It could have been worse for Reddick and the […]

This is never going to stop getting old. Look where this Shelby Miller pitch ended up. There’s no immediate word on the distance. Needless to say, I think this is going to end up on THE LIST we put together every Friday of the longest homers of the week, and will probably end up in […]

Yoenis Cespedes may be out of the AL West, but he’s still dooming the Angels. The former Oakland Athletic hit his first homer with the Boston Red Sox on Sunday, a three-run blast that gave Boston a 3-0 lead over the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. This homer was the sixth that Cespedes has hit […]

Check out this fan catch from Sunday’s White Sox-Mariners game. The catch by this fan on this sinking liner hit by Dayan Viciedo was fine – nothing really outstanding, especially given that the fan was a grown man wearing a glove. But for him to make that catch while holding a tray full of fries, […]

This is just gross. With the Brewers trailing the Dodgers 2-1 in the fifth inning at Miller Park, Jean Segura laid down a suicide squeeze bunt, with Rickie Weeks coming in hard from third. Segura popped the bunt up, and Clayton Kershaw somehow made an incredible leaping catch. Weeks was already just steps away from […]

Well, this is unfortunate. During today’s Giants-Royals game, the competitor in the mustard suit fell flat in his face multiple times during the hot dog race between innings at Kauffman Stadium. This poor guy just couldn’t keep from tripping over his pants, time and time again. How embarrassing. It gives you a whole new respect […]

After hitting his 29th home run of the season in the first inning against Johnny Cueto, Giancarlo Stanton looked to get his 30th in the eighth inning. However, Jay Bruce had something to say about that, scaling the right field wall to rob Stanton. Sorry Giancarlo – if you want your 30th homer, it’s not […]
