The Mets' season spiraled out of control far quicker than anyone could have reasonably anticipated. Even those who thought New York's NL club would miss the 2026 postseason probably weren't forecasting a 27-35 record placing them third from the bottom in the league, trailing a rebuilding Nationals club or a $75MM-payroll Marlins team. Many Mets […]

The margin against the Brewers was thin Friday night, and the final innings showed why. The Rockies had a 3-1 lead, had allowed one hit through eight innings and were three outs away from taking the opener against the first-place Brewers. They still lost.

Two of the hits were home runs. Wicks walked two and struck out five. Left fielder Chas McCormick hit a solo home […]
Too often this season, the New York Mets have been the slumping team that opponents are looking to beat up on. Those roles were reversed Friday night in a 5-0 win over the San Diego Padres. San Diego has now lost 10 of its last 11 games, while the Mets have won six of their […]

A less-controlled-than-usual Matthews manages to last longer than we (or I) expected, and he’s helped by some Cuddyer/Rosario-style cannon shots from the outfield. Inning-by-inning notes: (Rain Delay): Hey, remember when rain delays might have Kris Atteberry interviewing a baseball book author or something interesting like that? No. It’s a 1991 game. I like hearing Herb […]
The 2026 Ole Miss baseball postseason formula is a concoction of elite pitching and below-average hitting that scratches out just enough runs among a quarter of a million strikeouts. That delicious-to-agonizing blend was once again on point Friday night, as the Rebels took a 1-0 series lead against Auburn. Hunter Elliott, Hudson Calhoun, and Walker […]
Jhoan Duran is one of the best closers in baseball. The Philadelphia Phillies right-hander features one of the nastiest arsenals in the game, overpowering hitters from the minute he toes the rubber.Following another dominant save against the Chicago White Sox, Duran’s teammate Brandon Marsh was asked if he what his approach would be against the […] The post Phillies’ Brandon Marsh Has Perfect Response to Facing Jhoan Duran appeared first on HEAVY .

The Astros have placed outfielder Rhylan Thomas on release waivers, according to the MLB.com transaction log. Houston designated him for assignment yesterday when they finalized the LaMonte Wade Jr. signing. A release was basically inevitable as soon as the Astros took Thomas off the 40-man roster. He was placed on the minor league injured list last […]
Despite a rain delay of over an hour, the game started off so well for the Royals. Bobby Witt Jr. took a one-out walk, Vinnie Pasquantino hit an RBI double, then Jac Caglianone drove him in with his own double.

As ridiculous as it sounds, figuring out a punny name to properly capture the Giants recent power surge was a bit of a pressing matter for announcers Hunter Pence and David Flemming after Matt Chapman lifted a grand slam in the 4th inning off Cubs starter Edward Cabrera. The opportunity was too good to pass […]
The Athletics began a pivotal three-game series at the surging Houston Astros, who are closing in on them in the American League West. The Astros jumped out to an early lead and never looked back, winning the series-opener between these division rivals 5-1. The A’s appeared to carry over the effects of yesterday’s ninth-inning collapse, […]
Kyle Leahy’s finish was better than his start and the St. Louis Cardinals bats were more than enough to overcome the Cincinnati Reds Friday night at Busch Stadium with an honorable mention going to the Reds bullpen for a big assist during the latter half of the game. Trying to explain what happened in both […]
The Texas Rangers scored three runs while the Cleveland Guardians scored two runs. The Rangers had us in the first half, not gonna lie. In what was shaping up to be a familiar game that you’ve seen a dozen times at The Shed this year, the Rangers found the switch to flip and came through […]
There’s a baseball cliche when a pitcher has an OK night but still takes the L: “He just made the one mistake, and it got punished.” It’s tempting to tag that to Bryan Woo in tonight’s 7-3 loss to the Tigers, but I’m not so sure it’s true. The pitch you’d want to pin that […]

Haters and doubters take note: The Orioles are still doing this thing. It is easier to feel like they might be able to keep doing it after games like this one. The Birds rallied from a 3-1 deficit heading into the sixth inning to take the lead and blow past the Blue Jays, piling on […]

The adage goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but I’ll tell you this: I don’t know if your heart can grow fonder of Mauricio Dubon, but if such a thing is even possible, then said fondness has probably grown quite a bit this week. The Braves’ […]
Orioles A Lot Blue. Jays A little. That was less than fun. Everything that mattered happened in the bottom of the fifth and the top of the sixth. The Jays scored two in the top of the fifth. With two out George Springer reached on catcher interference, yet again. They are going to name catcher […]
While they’ve already played a handful of games without him, Friday night’s game against the Red Sox marked the first one for the Yankees since Aaron Judge was placed on the injured list with a fractured rib.
