We may have witnessed – in Game 4 of the 2025 NLCS – the greatest performance in a major league baseball game by a single player. Shohei Ohtani won the MVP award (after being introduced as "the greatest baseball player on the planet") largely because of his unprecedented performance in the Dodgers' pennant-winning 5-1 victory on Friday night in Los Angeles, finishing off a dominating sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers (who had won all six of the games the two teams played d...
Despite the Toronto Blue Jays playing in game five of the ALCS nearly 4,000 miles away, baseball fever coursed through the confines of the Scotiabank Arena, where the Toronto Raptors defeated the Brooklyn Nets 119-114 on Friday. Both Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic and Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez fielded questions from the media before […]
Jays 2 Mariners 6 So that eighth inning was the only one that mattered. Brendon Little came in. People don’t like him but he’s been good this season. Cal Raleigh hit one that just cleared the left field wall. 348 feet homer in 14/32 parks. Four feet less would have been nice. Little gave up […]

Are you a free-agent pitcher who has a four-seam fastball in the 93rd percentile for velocity and the 83rd percentile for extension? Well, then, the Astros might have interest in you.

Happy Friday. We have an earlier start time today, 6:00 Eastern. The Brewers and Dodgers start at 8:30 Eastern.

Last night, I had the privilege of watching my favorite player ever show he still had greatness in his body at 41 years old. With the Blue Jays needing a win to tie the series in hostile territory, they turned to Max Scherzer. As he did so many times for the Nationals, Mad Max delivered […]

Blue Jays 8 Mariners 2 I don’t think we can say enough about how great Max Scherzer was. He gave up a Josh Naylor home run in the second. He ended up going 5.2 innings, allowing three hits, four walks, with five strikeouts. The second run against him scored after he left the game, and […]
