Wyatt Langford remains in injury limbo and hasn’t swung a bat since his rehab was paused two weeks ago. Skip Schumaker shuffled the […]
At the start of the season the Nationals were scoring a ton of runs, but most people believed that they would slow down at some point. Now, a month and a half into the season, this Nationals offense has not really slowed down. They have scored the second most runs in all of baseball, and […]
Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space. This week, we begin by discussing the Mets’ play in May, which has been a bit better, but still not […]
It is not secret the San Diego Padres rotation has suddenly become very crowded and difficult decisions are ahead for manager Craig Stammen and president of baseball operation and general manager A.J. Preller. Lucas Giolito is expected to be ramped up to speed and with the big-league club by the weekend. Griffin Canning has made […]

In the offseason, the Braves knew that there’d be some issues with Sean Murphy’s availability. They signed Jonah Heim on February 10. That move turned into 45 PAs for Heim, where he ended up barely above replacement thanks to A) one big game at Coors Field in his final outing with the team and B) […]
Look at it this way. At least the Cubs scored some runs in this game. Not enough runs, as they lost to the Braves 5-2 in the series opener in Atlanta. Colin Rea and Grant Holmes matched zeroes through two innings, and the Cubs failed to score in the top of the third. The Braves […]
Coby Mayo delivered the biggest hit of his young career on Monday with two on and the Orioles trailing by two. Mayo launched a go-ahead three-run home run in a game that he likely never would have played in if Samuel Basallo felt well enough to go. The Orioles scratched Basallo after the catcher reported […]
Imagine being told in the offseason that Alec Bohm would be hitting .180 with a .527 OPS through the Phillies first 41 games. One of your first thoughts after a slew of expletives would probably have been “well at least that’s giving Aidan Miller a golden opportunity”, and you wouldn’t have been wrong! But that […]
It was one of the more iconic scenes in baseball moviedom. Lou Brown tells his troops that Rachel Phelps (the owner) does not want them to win. In order to win the division they will need to win 32 more games (from that point in the season) and with every win they will pull off […]
Kansas Jayhawk Links Through the Phog thinks BYU fans have switched allegiances and are now proclaiming Darryn Peterson to be the #1 draft prospect. Why would they do such a thing?

The Dodgers are now losers of four straight (again) after falling to the San Francisco Giants 6-2 on Tuesday, but Shohei Ohtani was able to bust out of his slump and was the only redeeming factor for the Dodgers. Ohtani went 2-4 with a single, a home run and a walk, recording his first home […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
Good morning. Tough way to break a slump, but Big Dumper will take it.
The San Francisco Giants had a good time in Southern California on Tuesday night, beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2. In a statistic that almost defies reality, the Giants are now 4-1 against the two-time defending champions … and just 14-23 against the rest of the league. But that wasn’t the only fun that was […]
When Darryl Strawberry was pinch-hit for in the championship softball game against the Shelbyville Nuclear Power Plant, Springfield Power Plant mogul and manager C.
