Some baseball nicknames are exaggerations. For George “Jumbo” Brown, his was more of a scouting report. Jumbo Brown was listed at 6-foot-4 and 300 pounds, making him one of the largest players of his era and a pitcher whose size alone guaranteed he would be remembered.

Arguably the Phillies’ biggest weakness in the start to a season that’s been full of them is left-handed pitching. As a team, they’re dead last in batting average (.180), OPS (.567), and wRC+ (61) against lefties. They have yet to win a game against a non-opener left-handed starting pitcher. Clearly, the Phillies need all the […]
In the Mets’ loss to the Nationals yesterday, several of the team’s most glaring deficiencies were on full display, but David Peterson and Sean Manaea, the team’s pair of struggling left-handed pitchers, stood out the most.

X-rays taken at the stadium were inconclusive so the Yankees are sending Jasson for a CT scan. For his part, he doesn’t sound too concerned, publicly at least. When asked, Domínguez commented, “As of […]
The Nats lit up the Mets like a Christmas tree in their 14-2 mauling on a rainy night in Queens. This was a comprehensive beatdown, where the Nats dominated from start to finish. The bats and the arms were both top tier in this one, which led to the big win. On the mound, Cade […]

I’m guilty of that myself, and even did that for the Knicks’ current series against the Hawks. But Games Four and Five served as a friendly, but very loud, reminder that in […]
On January 19, the Knicks got absolutely blasted by the Dallas Mavericks in an embarrassing game at home on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
