In 1996, Veterans Stadium was on the verge of falling down. Stray cats ruled the concourses. The scent or urine hung high in […]

But García’s gotten a lot better with the bat in June. In this sixth month of 2026, he’s slashed .269/.269/.654. He’s hit three homers this month; […]

Phillies 2 Jays 3 Man, baseball is great. In the top of the ninth, Louis Varland gave up his first run since Jesús (Sánchez) was a boy (yes, I’m going to hell). Well, since April 25th. Varland walked Bryce Harper to lead off the inning. Then got Brandon Marsh to strike out. Alec Bohm ground […]

He was staying in Orange County. Maybe now, after watching Ohtani win a couple of World Series with the Dodgers, would Trout reconsider? He hasn't been in the postseason since 2014, the first of his three MVP seasons. And the Angels haven't had a winning record since 2015. If Trout fin...

He’d dominate at a Cubs minor league affiliate, get called up and have some great outings, but then occasionally get hit hard. That was especially true in 2025, when Brown made […]
