Yesterday, Jake opened up the day with a discussion about what the biggest positive development the Yankees have gotten out of this season has been. If you’ll forgive the shameless piggy-backing off of that topic, I’d like to flip the question on its head and ponder what the worst development has been, what decline in […]
While Maryland baseball missed the conference tournament for the third consecutive season under head coach Matt Swope, the future of the program is bright. That belief was furthered on Tuesday. The Terps had five players receive All-Big Ten honors, headlined by Brayden Martin’s third-team selection. Bud Coombs, Ryan Costello and Ty Kaunas were selected to […]
The Minnesota Twins had a busy day. Royce Lewis was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul, the second member of Minnesota's Opening Day lineup to be sent down in the past week following Matt Wallner's demotion. Ryan Jeffers broke his left hamate bone on a foul ball Monday night and will likely require surgery, sidelining their best offensive producer for a significant stretch. Veterans Orlando Arcia and Alex Jackson were recalled to fill the positional gaps. And in the middle of all of it, rig...
The New York Mets designated outfielder Austin Slater for assignment, promoting outfield prospect Nick Morabito to the active roster in a corresponding move that will mark Morabito's major league debut. Slater appeared in nine games as a Met, going 5-for-20 with a 69 wRC+ in 21 plate appearances, and has now been designated for assignment by two organizations in less than a month. Mets DFA'd Austin Slater After Nine Games The Marlins DFA'd him on April 23 after a dozen games in Miami...
When he was a young prospect, future Hall of Famer Mike Piazza was a nobody. He was drafted in 1988,and only as a personal favor to his father from his godfather, L.A. Dodgers legend Tommy Lasorda. He was the 1,390th pick out of 1,395 prospects. That’s close to Mr. Irrelevant status. Clearly, not much was […]
Toledo Mud Hens vs. Indianapolis Indians (postponed) Rains washed out Tuesday’s start of this series in Toledo and sent Troy Melton back down to Lakeland to get a rehab start in. They’ll play two tomorrow starting at 11:05 a.m. ET. Altoona Curve 4, Erie SeaWolves 2 (box) Seth Stephenson returned from the injury list in […]

NY Post | Greg Joyce: Giancarlo Stanton has been out since the end of April with a calf strain, but he isn’t quite where he needs to be to resume running and get close to a return. MRI results have not been clean, showing the strain still as recently as last week, and the team […]
There’s an old sketch from The State called “The Barry Lutz Show” where a doctor played by Thomas Lennon explains his research in the field of “monkey torture,” accompanied by an adorable simian. He eventually takes a phone call that purportedly tells him he has to stop torturing monkeys forever and let them all go, […]
After the high of last night’s win, the vibes went right back to terrible today despite the presence of hundreds of shirtless fans in the upper deck providing energy into an otherwise sleepy Tuesday, cheering on the dual start of Bryce Miller and Luis Castillo. Unfortunately, the bats didn’t get the message, as once again […]
Every once in a while, you get a night where you have to tip your cap to the opponent. It might stem from a stellar pitching performance, a buttoned down operation in all phases of the game, or a bunch of clutch hits piled together. When you play 162 of these things, it’s going to […]
Just when you’re sure the letdown is coming, they find a way to keep doing it. After dropping a sleepy one last night, the White Sox were on the verge of dropping another sleepy one in Seattle this evening, trailing 1-0 from the moment the game opened all the way until they had just two […]
After a heartbreaking loss last night in the J.T. Ginn near no-hitter the A’s needed to regroup for game two of the four-game series against the Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium in Anaheim. Jacob Lopez gets the start tonight against Reid Detmers for the Angels. Detmers was on fire the first two innings, striking […]
Tonight almost fell into the bucket of the very frustrating games that this team definitely should have won category. Their starting pitcher went 7 strong innings while their offense continued to squander opportunity after opportunity late into the game. However with 2 outs in the 9th, the biggest star on the team Ketel Marte finally […]
The first two games this season between the teams with the two best records in the National League West have been close, hard-fought battles going down to the wire. After not scoring in the series opener, the Dodgers found just enough offense on Tuesday and capitalized on an absolute gift from the most dominant closer […]
White Sox 2, Mariners 1 My mood when I volunteered to do the chart in the eighth inning: Bryce Miller, +0.30 WPAMy mood now: Andres Muñoz, -0.56 WPA Game thread comment of the day:
Charlotte Knights 5, Gwinnett Stripers 4The Knights (23-23) blasted their way to an early five-run cushion, then survived a late Gwinnett rally for a close win thanks to another shutdown appearance from Ben Peoples. Jonathan Cannon turned in a solid start despite some wild command, allowing just one run over five innings while working around […]
When the Colorado Rockies welcomed the Texas Rangers to Coors Field for Game 2, their hope was to pick up where they left off after getting a Monday night win. After all, it was “Bark in the Park,” so the vibes (and the dogs!) were good. However, by the time the game ended, there was […]
Right-hander Kaleb Wing was promoted from rookie ball ACL Cubs to Low-A Myrtle Beach. Right-hander Luis A. Reyes went from the Pelicans down to Mesa. Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs lost their eighth-straight game, 6-3 to the Memphis Redbirds (Cardinals). If you want some more bad news, Iowa starter Connor Noland had to be carted […]
With Kris Bubic out with some elbow discomfort, the Kansas City Royals turned to ye olde “bullpen game” against the Boston Red Sox. While the bullpen held for most of the game, the Royals offense stayed sleepy and the Red Sox eventually did their damage, beating the Royals in a 7-1 slog. Kansas City turned […]
The Texas Rangers scored a girthy ten runs while the Colorado Rockies scored no runs at all. This one’ll do wonders for the ol’ Pythagorean W-L. Maybe last night’s loss was the kick in the butt moment the Rangers needed as they came out tonight and immediately scored a couple of runs before turning to […]
Jays 4 Yankees 5 I don’t know….. Dylan Cease was pitching great and the Jays got three runs in the fourth. All seemed good in the world. In that fourth: The long break seemed to affect Cease, he wasn’t great in the bottom of the fourth, giving up a couple of walks and a Ryan […]
Matthew Liberatore had another strong start, but another not strong ending as he pitched 4 solid innings, but he would not finish the 5th inning as the game got away from him. Fortunately, the Cardinals offense lead by JJ Wetherholt, Nolan Gorman, Alec Burleson and eventually Ivan Herrera picked him up beating the Pittsburgh Pirates […]
Box Score Jacob Misiorowski hasn’t allowed a run since April 25. The Miz extended his scoreless streak to four straight starts and 24 1/3 innings this evening, and this time the Brewers were able to hold the slim lead that he left the game with. A good thing, too, as the Brewers had plenty of […]
