You know about Chris Sale. He’s a very good pitcher. He also tends to get injured a lot, sometimes in very strange ways. In 2024, he avoided getting injured until very late in the season, and won the NL Cy Young Award. In 2025, he broke his ribs diving for a ball with a sizable […]

Last week, Camden Chat’s Tyler Young wrote of Kyle Bradish: “All of this offseason talk around the Orioles’ ‘need’ for an ace seems to ignore the fact that they already have one in-house.” I’d venture to say they might even have two. That belief, of course, depends on how much you’re banking on Trevor Rogers’ […]

Baseball is a team game, with everyone on the roster contributing in their own way. Some players get the accolades, the awards, the Whataburger endorsement opportunities. But there are other players that grind, that do the “little things” that help the team win ballgames. Today’s question of the day is “who is the most underrated […]

Is it on TV? Yes, it’s on NESN at 1:05 PM. What’s the lineup? What should we watch for? It’s always fun when you get a first look at a new pitcher. It’s especially fun when that pitcher is a 6’6” beast of a man. And it’s even more fun when that beast of a […]

At this point in the Romy Gonzalez injury story, we don’t so much have updates as we have a slow reckoning with reality. Gonzalez injured his shoulder in late September and has not been able to participate in baseball activities ever since. Yesterday, he spoke to the media and conceded that he probably won’t be […]

Good morning! The Red Sox lost to the Pirates yesterday, with Ranger Suarez giving up a homer to the number one prospect in baseball, Konnor Griffin. Luckily, absolutely nothing that happens in a spring training game in February matters one stinking bit. In fact, if anyone remembers anything at all about yesterday’s game, it will […]

Who is he and where did he come from? He’s Anthony Seigler. Have you not had enough infield depth pieces to read this winter? You’re in luck, because we’ve got more. This particular infield depth piece started 25 games at third base for the playoff-bound Brewers in 2025 after making his MLB debut in July. […]

The term most associated with the top prospect in baseball regarding his chances to make the big league club out of spring training is to leave “no doubt.” On Tuesday afternoon in Fort Myers, Konnor Griffin left no doubt on two baseballs. In fact, they left the entire ballpark. Facing All-Star left-hander Ranger Suarez and […]

I guess one silver lining about yesterday’s game not being televised is that all the New Englanders who lost power in the blizzard didn’t miss out? I don’t know, man. I’m sick of the goddamn snow and am grasping for straws here. Luckily we’ve got the boys of winter back on TV today. Is the […]

There are very few people who walk planet Earth who can say they played on the best baseball team in history. So, for those who were able to appear on the 1998 Yankees team, they can take pride in having been a part of arguably the greatest squad MLB has ever seen. Not only did […]

For all the young players on the Red Sox who have signed long-term deals (Roman Anthony, Brayan Bello, Ceddanne Rafaela) we haven’t heard much reporting about an extension for Wilyer Abreu. As it turns out, the Sox tried to sign him on the eve of his rookie year. But, unlike Bello and Rafaela, both of […]

Who is he, and where does he come from? He’s Brendan Rodgers. He was an everyday starter for the lowly Rockies in 2024, leading some to believe he was heading our way at that year’s trade deadline, before we learned that Craig Breslow only makes deals for winning players in the offseason. Subsequently, Rodgers’ age […]

Hello and happy Monday, folks. Hope you’re not totally snowed in today. If you are, maybe the joy of an Olympic men’s hockey gold medal yesterday can help lift your spirits. Or maybe an Arsenal 4-1 win over Spurs can. Or maybe something else can, I dunno. A question for you, dear readers: how we […]

For generations the leadoff hitter was easy for a manger to identify: A fast guy. A slap hitter. Someone who could be the “spark plug.” Then you stick another guy as the table setter in the second spot. Probably your best hitter third. And your power guy at the four spot. And in some ways […]

It’s not often you get saved by the Bell twice with a few minutes, but it happened to Mike Vasil and White Sox this afternoon and made it possible for a come-from-slightly-behind victory. The third win of the spring wasn’t as definitive as the first two, and it was as much the result of Milwaukee […]

Game two of the spring schedule. I was up early and at the bar for the hockey, and that is all I’m saying about it. Though beer at 6:00 in the morning is surprisingly good. The Jays have Fernando Perez as the starting pitcher. He was good in Vancouver last year, 3.05 ERA in 20 […]
