A lack of communication between the catcher and the pitcher is never a good thing in a baseball game. And it gets even worse when the pitcher is Shohei Ohtani. But less than a week after the chaotic inning involving the superstar and Dalton Rushing in Minnesota, the young catcher didn’t try to defend himself. […] The post “This Is My Fault”- Dalton Rushing Takes Responsibility After Fiery Scenes Involving Shohei Ohtani appeared first on EssentiallySports .
A blistering recruiting run through the transfer portal continued for the TCU Horned Frogs on Monday evening. Arizona State sophomore infielder Beckett Zavorek, who slashed .321/.387/.445 with 44 hits, three home runs and 22 RBIs over 52 career games (37 starts) for the Sun Devils, announced his commitment to TCU on his Instagram account. The […]

Wehunt dazzled for Double-A Portland in Sunday’s series finale against Hartford on the road.

The Red Sox are on their hottest stretch of the season.Fresh off a stunning four-game sweep of the Yankees, Boston welcomed the Washington Nationals to Fenway Park on Monday night and picked up right where it left off.
Texas catcher Andrew Ermis, a junior who recorded a .353 batting average and a .571 on-base percentage over 14 games with the Longhorns this season, will be coming to Fort Worth. Zachary Symm of Orange Bloods reported that Ermis will be transferring to the TCU Horned Frogs for his senior season. Ermis, who started seven […]
The Twins came into Monday Night leading the American League in runs scored for the month of June. Unfortunately for the Astros, they kept the hot bats going, launching multiple homeruns in a 5-4 win before an announced crowd of 22,969. Royce Lewis and Victor Caratini would go back-to-back with solo blasts in the 4th […]
PHILADELPHIA — Aaron Nola was cruising through three innings. The struggling Phillies right-hander recorded the first nine outs needing only 41 pitches. Inefficiency has kept him from going deeper in games this year. Maybe Nola’s fortunes were changing, but anyone who has watched Nola over the years knows the dangers of the big inning. This […]
While there hasn’t been a ton of action in the later innings of this Rockies-Marlins game, there’s been so much action in the comments that we decided it warranted an overflow thread for the final three innings! In case you forgot, here are the lineups: Continue to keep it civil, friends, and please remember the Purple […]
The Orioles’ recent funk continued on Monday night as they dropped their series opener with the visiting White Sox 8-2. The Birds have now lost three in a row and five of their last six. This game was close as could be through the first seven innings. Shane Baz was wild but effective, allowing just […]
PHOENIX — Ketel Marte’s legacy with the Arizona Diamondbacks continued to grow, with his 16th home run of the season moving him into a tie for second on the franchise’s all-time hits list. Make it back-to-back-to-back games with a Ketel home run. pic.twitter.com/sc3cVcNOoC — Arizona Diamondbacks (@Dbacks) June 30, 2026 It didn’t take long for […]
The June swoon that was promised arrived late, as it often does—but it is unmistakably here. The Yankees took their butts home to Yankee Stadium after an excruciating four-game sweep at the hands of the reviled Red Sox and performed in a similarly moribund fashion en route to a 7-3 loss to the Tigers. To […]
The White Sox (44-39) kicked off the road trip by stomping the Orioles, 8-2, busting a tie wide open with six runs in the final two frames. The bats got the glory late, but this was a pitchers’ duel with Sean Burke and Shane Baz trading blows. Chicago had Baz sweating early in the first […]
If baseball games were like pickle jars, Miguel Vargas could argue that he loosened it. As just before Colson Montgomery stayed on lefty Grant Wolfram's slider for a two-out go-ahead RBI double to center that put the Sox up for good, Vargas put the Orioles reliever through an 11-pitch war that ended with a routine fly out to right, but still might have strained the victor. But still another narrative thread to the triumphant six-run outburst in the final two innings is that despite the White...
The Red Sox entered the game having just swept the Yankees. They faced the Nationals who have one of the best offenses in baseball, but who have the same run differential coming into Monday’s game as the Red Sox (+5). Ranger Suarez looked to continue Boston’s streak of pitching that has been absolutely nails in […]
Red Sox prospects Dylan Brown and Antonio Anderson have been named the South Atlantic League Pitcher and Player of the Week for the week of June 22-28, Minor League Baseball announced on Monday. Brown put together a dominant start for High-A Greenville last Wednesday. Going up against Asheville at Fluor Field, the 22-year-old left-hander allowed … Continue reading "Red Sox prospects Dylan Brown, Antonio Anderson named South Atlantic League Pitcher and Player of the Week"

The Texas Rangers scored six runs while the Cleveland Guardians scored three runs. With a need for an opener, a lineup that would have perhaps been questionable if it had been for Round Rock, and a bulk pitcher that I suspect was on the mound for Texas tonight because he was close enough in proximity […]
Aaron Nola’s seven-year, 172 million dollar contract that was signed in November of 2023, wasn’t supposed to be this way. The pitcher who finished fourth in the NL Cy Young race in 2022 is gone. The pitcher who, despite a lackluster 2023 season, was able to put together a strong game three NLDS start against […]
The Tigers opened their series in New York with a 7-3 win over the Yankees, largely in thanks to a dazzling start from Casey Mize. The Yankees limped their way home after a rough series against the Red Sox, and I imagine both they and their fans were hoping for an easy series against the […]
Mets 1 Blue Jays 2 It was great to see Bo Bichette back in Toronto. He seemed touched by the ovation the fans gave him. After seeing the Jays down a bunch of runs early in the last several games, the great start from Trey Yesavage was very nice to see. He went 6.2 innings, […]
After another series loss to the Phillies, the Mets headed north to take on the Blue Jays in Toronto. Bo Bichette was making his return to the Rogers Centre after six-plus seasons as a member of the Blue Jays. Sean Manaea was getting the start against the Mets, facing off against rookie phenom Trey Yesavage. […]
