Thankfully, on this night, there was no rain around, meaning teams could actually play in their games. Here is how the kids did. Lehigh Valley 6, Syracuse 4 Robert Moore, you glorious man. Having himself a night, Moore went 3 for 3, blasting two home runs to lead the IronPigs to a victory, including this […]
The cosmic irony is far from lost on me that I got comfortable with this team and then it has largely struggled since. This is just the second Cubs loss all year in which they scored eight runs. They’ve lost three times when they’ve scored seven. All of that underscores just how bad their pitching […]
Good morning! Miguel Vargas continues to be a revelation this season. Entering Friday evening's slate of games, Vargas leads the American League in runs scored with 91. Should he continue his pace (cue Josh telling you to pound on the nearest block of wood!), he'll become the first White Sox to score 100 runs in a season in twenty years.

Hello friends and happy Saturday! It was a sad Friday night for the M’s, who dropped the first game to the Blue Jays by an 8-1 final. We don’t need to dwell on this one too much. Let’s get you caught up on the rest of the happenings from around baseball. In Mariners news… Around […]
Triple-A: Durham (Rays) 7, Norfolk Tides 0 The Tides mustered a whopping three hits and one walk in this game. That’s a tough way to win.

The Royals are riding high after their 11th win in the last 12 games, writes Jaylon Thompson. “I’m proud of them, and they have turned the page,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro told reporters in Cleveland. “We talked about it a lot: Even when we were losing a lot of games, the resolve, the attitude, the […]

After looking shaky and antsy in his first three starts as a big leaguer, Jackson Kent truly put himself on the map last night. Outside of Cade Cavalli and Foster Griffin, who have combined for 28 quality starts, great pitching performances have been hard to come by for the Nats. However, Kent did exactly that, […]
One of baseball’s biggest mysteries is the starting pitcher. Finding innings in a game that’s become so synonymous with injury is hard. So much so that teams have started to introduce young hurlers to the big leagues in a bullpen role – and it’s working. The Brewers turned Freddy Peralta and Corbin Burnes into monsters […] The post Kyle Leahy Is Just What the Doctor Ordered for the Cardinals appeared first on Just Baseball .
It may not seem like the Red Sox offense has been skidding over the past seven games, since five of those games resulted in victories. However, if you dig in a bit, some of that success is misleading if you take into account: The Sox have 20 runs prior to extra innings in those seven […]
Tarik Skubal admitted he cried during Detroit’s tribute.
Good morning, LSB. The Rangers lost the same kind of game I feel like I’ve seen them lose 20 times this season. Skip Schumaker says it’d be cool if the Rangers were a team that could hit the ball e.g. the Brewers. Jeff Wilson says the Rangers may be meeting their Waterloo in Milwaukee. Elsewhere […]
Some ballplayers have signature achievements in Major League Baseball, milestones or moments that endure as part of their legacy. For some, making it to the big leagues in the first place is the mountaintop. George Zeber’s path to the Yankees was a circuitous one laden with setbacks and championed by a future Hall of Fame […]
Welcome to Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, the new/old favorite from Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore. The Mets have lost their last two series, though their series against the White Sox was more a bad luck loss than truly bad play; that came against the Brewers. Brian and Chris talk about plesant surprises […]
The San Diego Padres knew they would have their hands full against three top-end starters in their three-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburgh, Fla. The Padres made the task of beating the Rays more difficult when they found themselves in a 6-0 hole after a five-run fourth inning. […]
Can Tony Vitello surpass Aaron Boone in ejections? It certainly seems so, with the way the San Francisco Giants manager is climbing the ejection list. His temper ran hot again during a costly third inning on Friday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. As his ejection tally rose to five, the rookie manager had his $90 million […] The post Giants’ Manager and $90M Star Ejected After Heated Debate With Umpire Over Controversial Foul Call appeared first on EssentiallySports .
Tarik Skubal expected Friday night to feel different. The visitors’ clubhouse. The Dodgers uniform. The walk in from the opposite bullpen. Standing on the mound at Comerica Park and trying to retire players who had been his teammates less than…
