This. THIS is what a complete Rays win feels like. Taking advantage of opponent’s mistakes, crisp baserunning and a defensive clinic.

Let’s start with an image. It’s the only image you need, really: Within the span of three batters, in a tie game, Michael Harris II hit a ball at over 105 mph, whose combination of velocity and angle yields a hit just about 60 percent of the time, and would’ve been a homer in 26 […]
The D-backs (47-47) pulled away late, securing a 9-3 victory over the Dodgers (61-34) Friday night at Dodger Stadium.

Sloppy play and three costly errors […]

Blue Jay 5 Padres 3 A three-game win streak. A few days ago that would have seemed impossible. We owe this one to Kazuma Okamoto, who hit a three-run home run in the fifth. In that fifth inning, Myles Straw started it with a bunt single (very nicely done Straw). Jonatan Clase flied out. Then […]

Please bow your heads for a moment of silence to commemorate the 14-minute period where the White Sox officially had more bats than spots.

The Mariners lost 7-2 to the Rays on Friday. Usually, I take notes when I recap games. Not today. I watched from the corner of my eye, game on mute, doing other things. Frankly, I didn’t think the Mariners were going to win. I hate when people say that, too. But I really didn’t think […]
Braves start their final pre-All Star Break series.
Well, it wouldn’t be a Braves game in St. Louis without a rain delay, now would it? It seems like this is a regular occasion whenever these two teams lock horns in baseball battle — especially whenever the games take place in the shadow of the Arch. Anyways, the game is now stuck in the […]
