Washington Nationals pitcher Cade Cavalli and president of baseball operations Paul Toboni spoke Wednesday about the incident that led to benches clearing during a Tuesday night matchup against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.
I’m going to take one small moment to complain about something. Because MLB has insisted on divvying up games between some one thousand different broadcasters, I was unable to watch and recap Sunday’s loss to the Red Sox. Me being in Canada, I was also tapped to recap the Fourth of July game to give […]
This game could be a little spicier than your average Wednesday get away day game. After the brawl last night, the temperature is hot in this series. After the Red Sox took the first game, the Nats struck back thanks to a gem from Cade Cavalli. Now the teams do battle one last time. Interestingly, […]

The Texas Rangers have placed Corey Seager on the 10 day injured list with lower back inflammation, the team announced today. To take his place on the active roster, the Rangers have recalled infielder Josh Smith.

When the Boston Red Sox entered the 2026 season, they were hoping to get a LOT more out of starter Garrett Crochet, who inked a six-year, $170 million contract before the 2025 season. Crochet finished top-3 in AL Cy Young voting in 2025, but has only made six starts this season, and wasn’t exactly effective […]

Oh boy. After leaving last night’s game with elbow discomfort, Connelly Early has officially been placed on the 15-day IL with elbow inflammation. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but the team is downplaying it for now. “I’m personally not too concerned as of right now,” Early said last night, while Chad Tracy […]

Contreras, a Venezuelan man six years Cavalli's senior and with more than 40 times as many MLB games under his belt, took it exactly as intended. In the ensuing brouhaha, Contreras whipped off his batting helme...
