A couple weeks ago on the Sox Machine Podcast, I offered the idea that Colson Montgomery hasn’t quite been right since missing a few games for a back injury in the first half of June, which Josh helpfully clipped. As a writer, podcast clips always make me a little uneasy. If I’m wrong in text… The post It’s growing difficult to downplay Colson Montgomery’s surging strikeout rate appeared first on Sox Machine .

PHOENIX — The Arizona Diamondbacks’ 7-0 blowout loss to the Chicago Cubs Monday night wasn’t just about the lack of offense from their side, but brewing anger between both teams.

The Chicago Cubs dominated the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night. There were some tense moments in the game, as the Diamondbacks thought Cubs third base coach Quintin Berry was trying to look into Merrill Kelly’s glove.

December 2023 was a transformative month for the Dodgers, who signed Shohei Ohtani to the largest contract in baseball history and signed Yoshinobu Yamamoto to the largest pitching contract in history. But they also traded for and extended Tyler Glasnow in a move that proved Brad Paisley contributes more to the Dodgers than ensuring extra-inning […]
The White Sox will get top prospect Caleb Bonemer work in center field in the minor leagues, assistant GM Josh Barfield tells Scott Merkin of MLB.com. He’ll mix in outfield work through the end of the Double-A season and during the Arizona Fall League. Bonemer, a second-round pick out of high school in 2024, has […]

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jackson Holliday has built several meaningful relationships around baseball, which could prove vital in trade talks.
The Jays start a three-game series against the AL Central last-place Kansas City Royals. The Royals are 58-74. But in August,, they are 12-9, and on an eight-game winning streak. On the season, they are 10th in the AL in runs scored, at 4.24 runs/game (Jays are last at 3.95). In runs allowed, they are […]

The Arizona Diamondbacks are angry at Quintin Berry, third base coach for the Chicago Cubs. Several Diamondbacks, including manager Torey Lovullo, suspected Monday night that Berry was picking up the changeup grip of Diamondbacks starting pitcher Merrill Kelly and then using not-subtle-enough hand gestures to ping information to Cubs hitters, relayed through a runner on second base. This matter came to a head in the fifth inning, with Michael Busch facing a full count at the plate and Seiya Su...

In reality, the Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies are close to comparably good teams this season. The Braves are not as good as their 45-21 record through the first two-plus months of the season, nor as bad as their 31-34 record since. The Phillies certainly aren’t as bad as their 9-19 start which got manager […]
The Royals have won eight in a row, and although its probably too late to make a real run, it can offer some hope for fans. There are, of course, plenty of reasons to be skeptical about the Royals’ second-half surge. There is nothing to play for, so these games can be downplayed a bit. […]
