It sometimes shocks me how quickly the “vibe” around a baseball team can change. Just two weeks ago, the Diamondbacks finished off a road sweep of the Giants in a solid, all-around effort. That win put the team a season-best seven games over .500 heading to Seattle. Since that game, they’ve gone 3-9 and haven’t […]
Well, look who’s sitting atop the American League Central. Behind six gritty innings from Davis Martin, another electric performance from Braden Montgomery, and a lockdown bullpen, the White Sox knocked off the mighty Braves.

We’re all acutely aware this is the third series loss of the season, but it is unfortunately the first one where the Braves have dropped the first two games. The fact that it took until June 10th to happen… I’m holding onto that really tight with both hands. Chris Sale’s outing was reminiscent of his last […]
Phillies 7 Blue Jays 4 That was bad in a lot of ways. Might as well get the congratulations out of the way first, Max Scherzer got his 3500th strikeout, just the 11th pitcher to get to that number. He’s at 3503 now. Number 10 in the list is Walter ‘Big Train’ Johnson at 3509. […]

Over the course of his long, illustrious career, future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer has had many dominant performances against the Phillies. Tonight was not one of them.

It may have started on time and finished without interruption, but Wednesday night’s game was rain-delayed in spirit for the Mariners.

Orioles starter Brandon Young cruised as the Mariners struggled to […]
The blows keep coming for the Boston Red Sox, with star starting pitcher Garrett Crochet sharing that his lat strain is “a lot worse” than previously thought.

The Rockies sent righty Keegan Thompson outright to Triple-A Albuquerque, per the MLB.com transaction log. Colorado designated him for assignment yesterday when they needed a 40-man roster spot for outfield prospect Cole Carrigg. Waivers are a 48-hour process, so they evidently began that on Monday’s off day before formally announcing the DFA. It’s the second time […]

For the second time in as many nights, the Mets found themselves in an early hole against the Cardinals and went on to lose. As had been the case in their loss in the series opener, the game never felt competitive, and it ended with St. Louis winning 9-2. The fact that the Mets spared […]
The Dodgers had a five-run lead in the sixth inning on Wednesday, but the Pirates rattled across eight runs against the Dodger bullpen as they stole the middle match 9-8.

The 2026 San Francisco Giants have been utterly helpless when playing from behind. Faced with an uphill climb, the slightest late-ish game incline, the offense’s legs would turn into pudding, their bats into pool noodles.

After losing four games in a row, the Orioles needed someone to step up and be a stopper. Tonight, that man was Brandon Young. Young cruised through seven shutout innings. The offense took a while to wake up, but when it did, things got really fun with a two-inning rally capped by a grand slam. […]
When the Red Sox traded for Garrett Crochet, they knew they’d be giving up a significant amount of young talent.
