Will Venable’s late-game bullpen decisions were already complicated before Seranthony Domínguez added to it

A few minutes after getting Seranthony Domínguez off the hook by making the White Sox walk-off winners on Monday night, Sam Antonacci tried to do it again. “We signed up to play a team sport and that’s what happens in a team sport,” Antonacci said. “If anyone’s mad about getting down, tell them to go… The post Will Venable’s late-game bullpen decisions were already complicated before Seranthony Domínguez added to it appeared first on Sox Machine .

Podcast: Wrapping up a middling Orioles first half

Tonight, the Orioles will play their 81st game of the season, marking the mathematical halfway point of the regular season. The best they can do is 39-42. That’s disappointing relative to preseason hopes that this thing would get turned around, but this first half really could have been a lot worse than it was. Whatever […]

What’s the worst Red Sox loss you can remember?

The end of last night’s Red Sox game was nothing short of a debacle. A fiasco. A disaster. Whatever you want to call it. Garrett Whitlock and Aroldis Chapman combined to allow eight hits in the eighth and ninth innings, though the former somehow escaped without allowing a run, while the latter coughed up a […]

The Opener: De La Cruz, Antonacci, Chapman

How do the Braves feel about Dylan Dodd?

This isn’t a “how do you feel about Dylan Dodd” post. It’s more about the Braves. Two buckets of facts, and then I’ll add a third. Bucket the first: in 2025, Dodd had an 85/94/83 line (ERA-/FIP-/xFIP-). That’s not a dominant reliever line, but it is a pretty good one. In 2026 so far, Dodd […]

What do you think of Don Mattingly’s handling of pitchers?

You simply cannot deny that the Phillies have improved under Don Mattingly’s watch. Since Mattingly took over as interim manager after the firing of Rob Thomson on April 28th, the Phillies have gone 33-17 and resurrected their chances at defending their NL East division crown. That record is the best in MLB over that span […]

Grading the Orioles’ offseason moves at the 2026 halfway point

After tonight’s game with the Angels, the Orioles will officially reach the 81-game mark of their 2026 campaign. Heading into Game 81, it’s safe to say that the first half of the O’s season has largely been disappointing. Seen by most as a strong Wildcard contender heading into the season, Baltimore currently sits below .500 […]

The Twins Could Be Buyers at the Trade Deadline

The owners of the Twins, the Pohlad Family, tried to sell […] The post The Twins Could Be Buyers at the Trade Deadline appeared first on Just Baseball .

The Braves’ June Swoon Hits a New Low in San Diego

If you stayed up until nearly 1:00 AM Eastern to watch the Braves try to pull out a win in San Diego, I apologize. But I was right there with you. Grant Holmes started the game, and it was a very Grant Holmes type of outing. He didn’t make it through five innings, largely due […]
