The White Sox had a week that could very well be described as average, as they did in fact go 3-3. A closer look of the lost series to the Angels and the series victory against the Mariners will tell you a story of midweek missed opportunity capped on either end with quite the dominant […]
About seven or eight years ago, there was an established adage/joke among baseball fans, and it went something like this: the MLB season doesn’t officially start until Mike Trout leads the league in Wins Above Replacement. At the time, Trout was the undisputed best player in the league, and eventually other players’ hot starts would […]
Angels 6 Blue Jays 1 Well that was awful. The Jays got a run in the first and then didn’t get another base runner until the eighth. They did load the bases in the eighth, but Vlad ground out softly to third to end the chance We had five hits on the day. Daulton Varsho […]
Passing the quarter post on the racetrack of the season. And Addison Barger, is out of the lineup with a ‘sore elbow’. That was an amazing throw, but maybe not the best move in his first day back. Addison was to lead off today, but now it is Ernie Clement. I’m a fan of lead […]
For the second day in a row, the Yankees played a somewhat frustrating game in Milwaukee. They did better offensively on Saturday, but the three runs didn’t end up being enough, as the Brewers rallied twice before walking it off in the 10th inning. With the Yankees facing a speed bump after a hot run […]
Angels 1 Blue Jays 14 The only inning that really mattered was the fifth. The Jays scored seven runs in the bottom of the inning and that was more than enough. But the Jays added six more runs in the seventh and eighth. Trey Yesavage was good enough, for four innings. He allowed four hits, […]
Building on a one-game winning streak. And Addison Barger is back (with Piñango the casualty). It was a weird spot….we are hip deep in lefty hitters, but then picking someone who isn’t hitting at all, just because he swings from the right side seems silly. The Lineups: Today’s Lineups ANGELS BLUE JAYS Zach Neto – […]
We have the first of three games with the Angels tonight. And we don’t have Addison Barger yet, I thought he was to join the team today, but not they are saying tomorrow. And it appears Jose Berrios will be a little while longer. They say there were changes in his latest MRI, well, inflammation, […]
The Cubs met up with an AL West team in their second series of 2026 and took two of three from an Angels club that has fallen into the basement in their division. This weekend they’ll visit another AL West team, the Rangers. For more on the Rangers, here’s Adam Morris, manager of our SB […]
Happy Friday. The Jays are back home for a series against the Angels. It almost can’t be worse than the last series. I think the team has let Tropicana Field get into their heads. Maybe all the batters should move back in the batter’s box: Petriello talks about it here. There is talk about having […]
For a minute there in the top of the second when the Good Guys got on the board first, it felt like they might actually take the series. Then the bottom of the second inning happened, and poof, the vibes from the past couple of weeks packed up and left the building. Chicago dropped the […]
The White Sox are back in the saddle this afternoon with a rubber match on tap against the Angels. The South Siders get a shot to prove this little hot streak isn’t just a mirage. They’ve won their last two series, and a victory today would make it three straight. They also have six wins […]
The White Sox (17-19) fought to the very end, but the bats were inconsistent with runners in scoring position, and the Angels (14-23) knocked Erick Fedde around as the Good Guys dropped game two of their LA road trip, 4-3. Now just two games under, the South Siders are hopefully just taking the scenic route […]
Thomas Harding of MLB.com is reporting that the Colorado Rockies have signed RHP Jordan Romano to a minor-league contract. On April 26, the Los Angeles Angels designated Romano for assignment; on April 27, he was released. The Angels must still pay the remainder of is $2 million salary with the Rockies only responsible for the […]
After a convincing shutout win behind Davis Martin to open up the series in Los Angeles, the White Sox have a chance to bring their record to .500 with another W tonight. The overall vibe with this team, who is playing like they have nothing to lose and everything to gain, has been contagious across […]
The Force was strong with the White Sox tonight as they shut out the Angels with a 6-0 win. Davis Martin reached a career-high double-digit strikeout milestone, and Munetaka Murakami finally doubled! José Soriano started off the night with back-to-back walks, but redeemed himself with back-to-back strikeouts. But Soriano’s woes could not be escaped for […]
The last time the White Sox saw the Angels was just last week, and it ended with a White Sox sweep at home. This time, the Good Guys are coming off a series win against the Padres during this latest West Coast road trip, and seeing the somehow even worse-for-wear Angels for the second and […]
For just the fourth time this season, the Mets won a series, as they beat the Angels by a 5-1 score in the rubber game of their series this afternoon in Anaheim. No matter what happened today, the Mets were destined to retain sole possession of the worst record in baseball come tomorrow morning, but […]

Meet the Mets After coming back from a 3-1 deficit, the Mets fell to the Angels 4-3 in extra innings in Anaheim. Nolan McLean had the shortest start of his big league career so far and double plays doomed the Mets, as they wasted numerous chances and failed to come through late in the clutch […]
The Mets lost another player to injury in last night’s extra-innings loss to the Angels. While sliding into first base in the sixth inning, Ronny Mauricio appeared to jam his left thumb on the base, fracturing it and being placed on the injured list. He ran the bases for the rest of the inning but […]
April was a terrible month for the Mets. But April is over, and they won yesterday on May 1st. Surely May was destined to be much better. The 2026 season can now officially begin, right? Yeah, no. Tonight we had another game where the Mets didn’t come through enough in the clutch—just like every other […]

Meet the Mets Rejoice! April is over, and the Mets are 1-0 in May thus far after a win to begin a three-game series against the Angels out west. The Amazins fell behind early on, but managed to claw their way back, and a Ronny Mauricio solo homer gave them a 4-3 lead that they […]
After a series loss to the Nationals, which had a blowout loss followed by a heartbreaking late-game loss, the Mets headed west again, starting in Anaheim to face the Angels. Christian Scott was getting his second start of the season, hoping to have a much better performance than his first, which would be difficult not […]
