YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits delivers rare reporter jinx on Yankees pitcher Ryan Weathers

You’ve heard of the announcer jinx. But have you ever seen a reporter jinx?

As she explained, the left-handed pitcher struck out…

Should the Phillies hit Brandon Marsh leadoff more?

Tuesday night’s game featured a new look lineup out of necessity, as Trea Turner was still sore from getting hit by a pitch Monday night and did not play. So, the lineup featured Brandon Marsh leading off and Kyle Schwarber hitting second while playing first base. Needless to say, the lineup worked well that night, […]

Is Jung Hoo Lee “fantastic,” or actually kinda bad in right field?

During the 4th inning of Wednesday’s second game against the Braves, the Giants’ broadcasters used the occasion of Mike Yastrzemski, current Brave and former right-fielder for Giants, stepping into the box to discuss the defensive skills of his “protegé,” Jung Hoo Lee.  Dave Flemming deemed Lee “a worthy successor.” Javy Lopez described Lee’s play in […]

Why are the Orioles a (not even quite) .500 Team?

I shouldn’t mislead you: the Orioles are not hovering at .500 right now, because they’re actually sitting at 35-41 (.461), fourth in the AL East, staring up at the Yankees, Rays, and even the Blue Jays. I can’t even analytics our way out of here: their Pythagorean record, the model that predicts wins based on […]

Red Sox News & Links: ‘We’re not good’

It is not even officially summer yet. That’s probably the worst thing about this horrific 2026 season. It’s not even officially summer yet, and there’s nothing to look forward to baseball wise in New England. “The Red Sox are a roster-construction failure. Management can claim to be looking for outside help, and maybe they are, […]

Are the Braves over catcher defense?

Okay, we know they’re not really over it. But, it is kind of funny to think about. The Braves acquired Joey Bart late last night. The move is, on its face, a no-brainer. Bart was the second overall pick in the 2018 MLB Draft (Alex Anthopoulos loves him some draft pedigree), but he’s also put […]

On Friday, they’ll welcome the Cincinnati Reds to town for three games of […]

Dodgers notes: Brock Stewart, Evan Phillips, Mookie Betts

The Dodgers bullpen is no longer the biggest liability on the team this season, especially after they posted 38 consecutive scoreless innings in the month of May. There are still big-name pitchers in both the rotation and bullpen— Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell and Edwin Díaz— that are still recovering from injuries, but that hasn’t stopped […]

Why the Red Sox shouldn’t trade Willson Contreras

Last week, I wrote and encouraged the Red Sox to totally tear down the roster with a 2014-style fire sale at the trade deadline on Aug. 3rd.  I still stand by that for the large portion of sellable pieces. The Willson Contreras decision in that conversation became a complicated one for me and one that […]
