2025 In A Discarded-On-The-Dugout-Floor Nutshell In a season that started with infield candidates ranging from Alex Bregman, Trevor Story, Kristian Campbell, Triston Casas, Rafael Devers, and Marcelo Mayer, David Hamilton managed to make it into 91 games. That’s way too many! His large presence in box scores is the byproduct of a tumultuous year in […]

The San Francisco 49ers look to get back into the win column with a trip to the Meadowlands to square off with the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium. The last visit to MetLife was during 2020, and while the 49ers left with a victory, it came at the expense of a season-ending injury to […]

Seven years ago today, the Red Sox’ last World Series championship parade rolled through a Halloween riot of baseball fans. When will the next parade down Boylston be? We’ll have to wait at least a year. But either Dodgers or Blue Jays fans will be luckier than that. Will the Jays drop the curtain on […]

It absolutely sucks that my son has a peanut allergy. No question about it. However, there is one small side benefit after he complete trick or treat: I made out like a bandit last night. Reese and Butterfinger and Snickers everywhere, and I * have to * take them. For safety. The Cubs have yet to lose bench coach Ryan Flaherty to an open managerial gig, but they are indeed losing a coach off the staff: From @PJ_Mooney and @sahadevsharma : Cubs coach Alex Smith is leaving to becom...

Even the Devil himself would be spooked by the way the Edmonton Oilers have been playing. As an October full of ghastly mistakes kept adding up for the Oilers, Halloween Eve saw them leave the candy bowl outside for the neighbourhood kids to pillage. And that’s what the New York Rangers did, taking advantage of…

The Phillies have a pivotal offseason ahead, as they try to make some changes and tweaks to a roster that won 96 games but stalled out in the NLDS. Much of the focus of discussion to this point has been on the lineup, and rightly so, as it has arguably been the biggest culprit for […]

The Orioles went into last offseason with the stated need of a lefty-mashing batter to balance out a lefty-heavy lineup. While it’s true the Orioles do have a lefty-heavy lineup, they weren’t actually that bad against lefty pitchers in 2024. Nevertheless, the goal was stated and Mike Elias went out and addressed the need by […]

The Cardinals are about to begin what should be a very productive and busy offseason. That could start as soon as Saturday, as the Blue Jays return home ahead 3-2 in the World Series with a chance to close out the Dodgers in Friday’s Game 6. If necessary, Game 7 will be Saturday night, and […]

A-ha, the easiest fill-in question on a Friday ever. Are you just watching Game 6, which could be the final game of the “2025 Championship Season,” or is there something more topically relevant also going on? Are you perhaps combining the two, somehow? (If you’re towards the East Coast and have kiddos, the candy-gathering is […]

Fred McGriff turns 62 today. McGriff was born in Tampa, Florida. The Yankees drafted him in the 9th round of the 1981 amateur draft. Don Mattingly blocked his way to the majors for the Yankees. The Jays acquired McGriff, Dave Collins, Mike Morgan, and cash in exchange for Dale Murray and Tom Dodd. That trade […]

On Monday, Clayton Kershaw entered a tied game in the 12th inning with the bases full of Blue Jays. His job was simple; get out of the jam needing one out against a left handed hitter. With the count full and on his eighth and final pitch of the night, Kershaw induced a weak ground […]

The Minnesota Twins announced Derek Shelton as manager yesterday. So, it’s a good time to look at the last four MN baseball skippers and see how they fared in Year 1. Surprisingly, the results have been almost exclusively positive in my lifetime (1985+)… Tom Kelly Ron Gardenhire Paul Molitor Rocco Baldelli The four newest Twins […]

Meet the Mets Danny Abriano considers whether or not the Mets should try to sign Ranger Suárez, who’s spent his entire career with the Phillies thus far, in free agency. David Lennon writes that the Mets should give real consideration to a reunion with soon-to-be free agent Chris Bassitt, who has excelled as a shutdown […]

The World Series has returned to Canada, and the Blue Jays are hoping that tonight will be the end of a drought that has lasted over thirty years. Things seemed somewhat lost for the Jays for a brief period, but they have turned things around, winning the last two games, and are now within one […]

Good morning, baseball fans! The 2025 World Series continues between the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers tonight, with the series moving back to Toronto for Game 6. The Blue Jays have taken the series lead, 3-2, which is just phenomenal news. I’m not usually one to root against a Game 7, but in […]

The spookiest day of the year is here, and baseball is still ongoing. The Toronto Blue Jays are one win away from taking home their third World Series title and their first since the 1993 season, when they won back-to-back championships after defeating the Philadelphia Phillies in a six-game series. With Game 6 between the […]

We don’t necessarily put up a post for minor league signings, but this one probably has a little more relevance than most. The Tigers and veteran backstop Tomás Nido have agreed on a new minor league deal for the 2026 season. Nido’s defensive abilities and experience make him a pretty good third option, both to […]
