If you were to ask a random group of Red Sox fans what the most fun part of the 2026 season has been so far, many might come back from the slim pickings and respond with some version of “watching Payton Tolle pitch.” It’s certainly not a bad answer, but in typical 2026 Red Sox […]
The Toronto Blue Jays have had a disappointing season thus far, currently sitting at 34-38 as the 2026 campaign approaches its halfway point.

Max Scherzer has been on the big league circuit long enough to understand MLB’s starting pitching problems better than anyone.

The Red Sox did the near-unthinkable: they won 2 games in a row at home! A whole series! And it was against a team right in the playoff mix and just 1.0 game back for the lead in the AL West. At 35-36 the Rangers just left Boston under .500. Also under .500 are the […]

After Aaron Judge went onto the IL, it was anyone’s guess how the Yankees would respond on the field without their captain. So far, the group has rallied, sweeping the Cleveland Guardians on the road and taking two of three against the Blue Jays with some late inning dramatics. Obviously, the team would prefer to […]

No Jays game today, so we won’t have the roller coaster of emotions today. After making it to the World Series, last year, we expected better from this season. Anyway, use the thread to talk about whatever you feel like. Doesn’t have to be baseball related. You could talk about the World Cup if you […]
The Jays have an off day today, which I’m ok with. After yesterdays loss, I could go for a week of off days. But then, tomorrow I’ll be sitting in front of the TV, ready to get punched in the gut again. I often say that no one, including umpires, understand the balk rule. Yesterday […]

Yankees 8 Blue Jays 3 This one had everything, other than a Jays’ win, of course. John Schneider got ejected. It kind of pissed me off, because the Yankees José Caballero complained for a long time about a pitch clock thing (I guess) and the umpire let him complain and complain. John comes out on […]
