Venezuelan player Willson Contreras had been enduring an emotionally difficult week ever since his home country was hit by back-to-back tremors last Wednesday. Then, his heated exchange with a Washington Nationals starter only made matters worse, resulting in a bench-clearing incident that saw multiple ejections.

I think it’s time to chat again about Eric Hartman. The Braves’ now top prospect completed a 20 HR, 30 SB season on July 1st, through 71 games of his season. He was also ranked the 25th prospect in all of baseball by Baseball America and it’s getting easier every day to see him in […]
Back in 2025, the New York Yankees’ mid-season slump cost them the top spot in the AL East. Eventually, they lost their edge to the Toronto Blue Jays, who eliminated them in the ALDS. Coming into 2026, the Yankees certainly didn’t want a repeat of that. Yet concerns are mounting for a team that was […] The post “Start Playing Better Baseball” – Yankees Manager’s Clear Message to Clubhouse After Cody Bellinger Vents Frustration appeared first on EssentiallySports .
Hello, July. Hello, elusive win No. 50. Hello and safe travels to Mexico, English World Cup fan contingent. Braves Country, there was a lot to like about tonight’s 5-1 victory against the St. Louis Cardinals. But first, the wink heard ‘round the world. The offense would eventually come alive late after being pretty dormant (again), […]
It’s the middle game of a three-game series in Kansas City, with the Rays looking to secure the series win after last night’s 10-4 win over the Royals.

What were you expecting? I was expecting a pitchers’ duel, and so were you, probably. Paul Skenes vs. Zack Wheeler, a heavyweight bout. I had a whole plan for this recap: take each inning like a round of a prize fight, load it up with boxing references. You can see the beginnings of that below. […]
The Cubs sent relievers Christian Roa and Eduarniel Nuñez through outright waivers on Wednesday, according to the MLB.com transaction tracker. Both pitchers were designated for assignment a week ago. Roa, who has been outrighted multiple times in his career, declined the minor league assignment in favor of free agency. This is the first time that Núñez has […]
Junior Caminero is really good at hitting home runs. At the moment he does it every night. Seth Lugo got a strikeout to start the game before Jonathan Aranda singled in front of Caminero. Junior then smashed the first pitch deep to left and gone to get Tampa Bay an immediate two run lead. That […]
When the 2026 season began, the Mets lost just four of their first 11 games. Now, three months later, they find themselves at the bottom of the NL East, sitting 15.5 games behind the division-leading Braves. Naturally, fans have almost stopped expecting anything at this point. They had been urging the front office to part […] The post “Extremely Worried” – Mets Owner Makes Critical Admission After Opening Up About Juan Soto–Francisco Lindor Feud appeared first on EssentiallySports .

The Atlanta Braves have been one of the best teams in the National League for the first half of the 2026 season, but the St. Louis Cardinals have shown they can compete and Tuesday night was no exception at Truist Park at least for the first 7 innings.

Once upon a time, the Chicago White Sox endured a dreadful season, losing more than 100 games, finishing an appalling 42 games out of first place in the division, and drawing less than 500,000 fans all season. From the doldrums, the team ascended from Baseball Hell and re-established the White Sox as a competitive team, […]
There's a first time for everything. Even a trade between the Washington Nationals and Baltimore Orioles.
Well, the A’s have one final chance to get a W against the reigning champion Dodgers after dropping the first two games of the series. Neither loss was especially close so now the A’s will have to do a complete 180 if they want to salvage a single game against our Southern California rivals. Hopefully […]

In an historic move, the Orioles traded reliever Kyle Nicolas to the Nationals for minor league infielder Randal Diaz. Washington optioned Nicolas to Triple-A Rochester and opened a 40-man roster spot by moving Mitchell Parker (who is expected to undergo Tommy John surgery) to the 60-day injured list. It’s the first trade between the two teams since the […]
