Yesterday was an annoying baseball day. The Cubs lost to the Cardinals after hitting a three-run homer in the first inning. They were one run short of tying the game in the ninth, because the BABIP gods were apparently a little annoyed at Nico Hoerner and Phil Maton keeps throwing in relatively close games for […]
The Braves have a chance to win their series against a solid Reds team in Cincy with a win tonight and give them a chance for another Sunday sweep. Martin Perez takes the mound for Atlanta and he is posting near-career-best numbers through 46.2 innings, with strikeout and walk rates that near his career highs […]
Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout must become the bad guy and finally demand a trade amid another losing season.
Last night’s victory for the Sox was certainly exciting, what with tying the game in the ninth on a misplayed squeeze bunt and then winning on a walk-off homer in the 10th. But it was also pyrrhic, since Munetaka Murakami injured a hammie trying to beat out a double play throw in the third inning […]
The second time around wasn't a charm for right-hander Austin Voth with the Toronto Blue Jays. After surrendering three home runs, four walks and five earned runs in 3.1 innings Friday night, Voth woke up Saturday morning to find out he'd been designated for assignment for the second time this season by the Jays. The Blue Jays have selected RHP Hayden Juenger to the Major League roster. In a corresponding move, RHP Austin Voth has been designated for assignment. pic.twitter.com/TLiwxgMGp...
Don’t chalk it up to the mound, the sun, the wind, the crowds, or the clubhouse facilities. They are the same for both teams and if anything, the A’s should have a “home field advantage” in being more accustomed to the conditions. No, the A’s poor play at home appears to be a mental block […]
Esmerlyn Valdez may have had a short first stint in the Major Leagues, but he showed signs of what could be to come for the Pirates outfield. Valdez made his MLB debut on May 22 against the Toronto Blue Jays and reached base on a walk. He didn’t record his first career hit until two […]

If you enjoy playing Immaculate Grid, well, the Mets really are the team for you. The Mets have optioned right-handed pitcher Tobias Myers, who’s worked out of the bullpen and as an opener for them since joining the team alongside Freddy Peralta, to Triple-A Syracuse. And they’ve called up left-handed pitcher Cionel Pérez, yet another […]
Bruins rally with three runs in the bottom of the ninth to walk it off vs. Hokies.
Potential steals, goalscorers, and more right handed defensemen. This edition of the Draft Radar Series highlights three more names who could be of interest to the Rangers.
Baseball has been riding a wave of momentum, but it looks increasingly likely to come to a crashing halt with a looming work stoppage next year. Even though MLB has seen rising ratings and interest in the regular season and postseason, and recent rule changes have been well received by fans, there is one major…
This week, the MLB Player’s Association and the league submitted their preliminary proposals to formally kick off the much-anticipated (much-dreaded?) collective bargaining agreement negotiations. Not surprisingly, this has sparked a lot of discussion, as fans dissect not only the proposals themselves, but the statements issued by both sides in response to the other’s proposal. Already, […]
After a 21-30-1 season and failing to qualify for the Big Ten Tournament, Northwestern baseball desperately needs to turn things around. While aggressive transfer portal activity hasn’t necessarily translated to success for the Wildcats in recent years, eventually one of their swings is bound to result in a home run. Northwestern brought in six transfers […]
LOS ANGELES — Justin Wrobleski added another strong start to a season replete with him, though his seven innings to beat the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night at Dodger Stadium added a new wrinkle. Wrobleski didn’t allow a hit until two outs in the sixth inning, when major league home run leader Kyle Schwarber took […]
The San Diego Padres finally found some offense in their series opener against the Washington Nationals. They slugged two homers and scored seven runs. It was the first time the Friars scored more than three runs in their last five games. Jackson Merrill and Fernando Tatis Jr.’s bats continued to heat up, with Tatis going […]

1914 Leading off a doubleheader opener at Cleveland, Buck Weaver clocked the first leadoff home run in White Sox history, a deep blast to left field against Naps starter Willie Mitchell. It spurred the White Sox to a 6-3 win and supported Eddie Cicotte in his fourth win of the season. Interestingly, Weaver hit just […]
In the early, pre-Babe Ruth days of the franchise, the New York Yankees/Highlanders often featured great players who had or would go on to have championship success at the big league level. The issue was often that they just didn’t have the right combination of players, have them at the right age, or didn’t figure […]
Chicago White Sox first baseman Munetaka Murakami has been placed on the injured list after exiting his team's home game against the Detroit Tigers on Friday night with a hamstring injury.
It was that kind of day in St. Louis. The Cubs jumped right on top with three runs in the top of the first, then gave three runs right back in the bottom of the inning. They got a run in the second, but allowed single runs in the fourth and fifth, then chased the […]
