Should the Phillies re-sign Luis Arraez?

Since acquiring Luis Arraez in a deadline day trade with the Giants, the Phillies have played really well. There was a patch of lethargy of course, but for the most part, Arraez has seemingly been exactly what they needed in the lineup. Even the defense has been good! While the season is still in progress, […]

Is this Braves team weird?

I have strong feelings about this that will be its own separate post at some point, probably this week. But, what do you think? We’re five-sixths-ish of the way done with the season on a calendar month basis, and the Braves are very good in terms of record… but the way they’ve gotten there has […]

The Orioles are finally acting like a playoff team

With their 8-5 win over the Athletics on Sunday afternoon, the Orioles improved to just one game under .500 for the first time since April 30. The four months in between have included a tumble down the standings, a roster sell-off, and now a renaissance on the field. It remains to be seen whether the […]

Drew Sommers has emerged as a high leverage arm for the Tigers

Very little has gone right for Detroit’s bullpen this year. The three veteran closing options have all underwhelmed, or in Will Vest’s suffered injuries, and many of the optionable depth arms they’ve relied on in the past have struggled, too. Amidst those struggles, one surprising candidate has emerged as perhaps AJ Hinch’s most reliable option: […]

Chicago Cubs: Should Shota Imanaga’s rotation spot be in jeopardy?

The Chicago Cubs’ pitching woes continued Sunday night as starter Shota Imanaga got tagged for six runs, including three more homers. Imanaga has surrendered 33 homers in 150.1 innings pitched on the season. That’s a 1.98 HR/9.
