Spencer Miles Was Great, Jays Win

Jays 2 Yankees 0 I’m thinking it is time to forget about the ‘opener’ thing for Spencer Miles, just start him. But then again, if it ain’t broke…. Miles was amazing, 4.1 innings, 2 hits, 1 walk and 6 strikeouts. He was unhittable . I want him keeping the fifth starter role. He was awarded […]

What a day to not be a Giant

The first headline I saw when I searched up our recently cast-off backstop was for an AP article published by the Watertown Daily News: “Baily, Cantillo lead Guardians to four-game series sweep…”  While I harbor no real ill-will towards Patrick Bailey, I admit I wasn’t pleased about the news.  Petty tribalism inherent in fandom runs […]

Harris homers bookend Braves’ 9-3 mashing of Marlins

Another game, another offensive outburst, another series win. The Braves continued to bounce back and then some from their 12-0 drubbing in the series opener, riding a trio of homers, including two by Michael Harris II, to yet another easy win over the Marlins in Miami. The Braves wasted no time in opening the scoring […]

Colorado Rockies game no. 51 thread: Zach Agnos vs. Eduardo Rodriguez

After another heartbreaking loss on Wednesday to close out the homestand, the Colorado Rockies are back out on the road to kick off a seven-game trip to face the Arizona Diamondbacks for a four-game series, followed by three games against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Rockies and Diamondbacks squared off last weekend at Coors Field, […]

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña, Jr. was replaced in the bottom of the sixth inning of tonight’s game against the Miami Marlins by Eli White after dealing with an apparent thumb issue one inning prior. When getting ready to take the field in the bottom of the fifth, Acuña, Jr. lingered near the dugout while […]

Rockies place Brenton Doyle on the IL, select Chad Stevens, make additional roster moves

As the Colorado Rockies prepare to start their three game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks, they announced a series of roster moves on Thursday afternoon. Brenton Doyle was injured on Tuesday while making a diving catch, so his landing on the IL with a left-oblique contusion is not surprising. Meanwhile, Chad Stevens has absolutely been […]

The Hillsborough County Commission approved a nonbinding MOU with the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday, and Tampa City Council followed suit today. These votes are the next step toward the start of stadium construction, but they are by no means the final step. The County has committed to providing $796 million, relying on bonds that […]

Peterson and the bullpen combine for a gem, Mets win

David Peterson and the Mets’ bullpen combined to hold the Nationals to one run, which meant that Bo Bichette’s two-run single in the top of the third was just enough for the Mets to beat the Nationals by a 2-1 score and get out of D.C. with a series split. Peterson might not have been […]

Game #50 GameThread: Jays @ Yankees

Just in case I don’t get home before game time, use this as the game thread. I expect to be home before, but best laid plans and all. I’m looking forward to seeing how Spencer Miles does tonight. He’s been terrific in this role. I’m thinking they could skip the opener thing, but i don’t […]

Buster Posey, sir, please sign a two-year extension ASAP

Hello, Mr. Future Hall of Famer, sir, Mr. Buster Posey Man. I am but a lowly sports blogger doing that thing that bad baseball columnists do and writing you an open letter. Here’s why. It’s unfathomable that there’s just 17 months or so remaining on your deal to be the Giants’ President of Baseball Operations. […]
