Former Pirate Andrew McCutchen DFA’d by Texas Rangers

Do the Bucs need a DH? One just got released onto the market, as former Pittsburgh Pirates star Andrew McCutchen was just designated for assignment by the Texas Rangers. The Bucs have two big, glaring holes in their hitting lineup. First one is at catcher, where Endy Rodriguez is hitting .319, but only with 19 […]

Dodgers 4, Rockies 1: One hit wonders

For the 10th straight time in Los Angeles, the Colorado Rockies lost to the LA Dodgers as they fell 4-1 on Wednesday. In a game featuring two of Japan’s baseball heroes on the mound, it would be the Dodgers’ unicorn of a player that highlighted the game as Colorado managed just one hit. Sugano’s shortened […]

D-Backs 3, Giants 2: Sweep Me San Francisco

No matter how you split it, it’s been a pretty fun couple of weeks to be a Diamondbacks’ fan. Since May 9th, the day after the D-Backs lost an extra-inning affair to the Mets, they’ve gone a major league best 14-4 including today’s win. They’ve pitched to a 2.69 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP between […]

Braves News: Top 30 prospects list, Braves crushed, more

MLBPA submitted their initial CBA proposal Wednesday, as the owners are expected to make their initial proposal Thursday.

Cubs Minor League Wrap: South Bend wins 7th straight

Left-hander Ty Blach elected free agency on Sunday. Today he re-signed with the Cubs and reported back to Iowa to make tonight’s start. Or rather with Iowa in Indianapolis. Reminds me of what Jack Paar said when he returned to the Tonight Show after quitting for a month: “ . . . my last words were […]

25-30 – Rangers get back to business with 4-3 loss to Astros

The Texas Rangers scored three runs while the Houston Astros scored four runs. Eschewing the exchange of bizarre history that highlighted the first two games of this series, the Rangers and Astros instead settled into more standard fare at The Shed tonight with a low-scoring contest that sort of became a home run derby between […]

The San Diego Padres completed their longest homestand of the season by being swept. The Philadelphia Phillies, who had been in a slump of their own, got well against the Padres. There were no blowouts; the Phillies never scored more than four runs in any of the three games. It’s just that the Padres scored […]

For the first time in their last seven games, the Mets scored more than two runs, and it turns out that it’s a lot easier to win a baseball game when that happens. A relative explosion of offense saw the team win 4-2 in their series finale against the Reds tonight at Citi Field, a […]
