You’ve heard of the announcer jinx. But have you ever seen a reporter jinx? As the second inning of Thursday’s tilt between the New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox got underway, YES Network clubhouse reporter Meredith Marakovits was relaying an anecdote about Yankees pitcher Ryan Weathers. As she explained, the left-handed pitcher struck out…
The San Diego Padres have had their share of highs and lows this season, but the most recent lows against the St. Louis Cardinals in the first two games of their three-game series were pretty bad. Cardinals pitchers Dustin May and Andre Pallante combined to dominate the Padres offense and limit their opportunities to get […]

The Nationals and Rays are facing off this weekend, and these two teams suddenly have very deep ties. In a lot of ways, the Rays are the model organization that the Nats are trying to become, though hopefully with a bit more spending. Between Blake Butera, Curtis Mead, Michael Johns and Ani Kilambi, there are […]
The Knicks are champions, and one Rangers fan watched it all from a distance—with envy. What can the Rangers learn from New York's other team finally ending its drought?
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]

The Yankees continue their homestand this weekend after taking two of three games from the White Sox. Despite a sour ending on Thursday, it was a successful series, particularly for the Bombers offense, who scored double-digit runs in each of their victories.

Major League Baseball’s first All-Star ballot was released at the beginning of the week and the Pittsburgh Pirates have four position players receiving serious votes.

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.

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 […]
