Shohei Ohtani says he’s getting ready to pitch in Toronto as the World Series shifts to Canada, writes Andy McCullough at The Athletic. What could that look like? McCullough argues that it should be as a starter for Game 7 thanks to the eponymous Ohtani Rule, which was updated in 2022. It states that a […]

About four weeks ago, shortly after the Red Sox were eliminated, I wrote that I was rooting for the Blue Jays to win the World Series in one our Over The Monster group posts. There are several reasons for this, but one of which is I want another big spending team in the division not […]

A few weeks ago, we detailed the case for the Phillies to pursue Nippon Professional Baseball star Munetaka Murakami. The lefty slugger is sure to be the biggest name looking to make the jump from Japan to the Major Leagues, but he won’t be the only Japanese star to be posted this winter. In the […]

The history of baseball is littered with players that, while not stars, managed to leave an indelible mark on a season, a team, or even the sport at large. While Brandon Young has not yet made it to that level of cult hero, he was certainly responsible for some of the most memorable moments of […]

Sure would be nice if baseball current event-y stuff happened to fuel these, but I guess the World Series has to end before that. Anyway, see the title. I’m not asking about the best logo, just the worst. Nor is it limited to baseball. Once upon a time, there was a website called LogoServer, which […]

After beating Sassuolo in a difficult 1-0 match on Sunday, Gian Piero Gasperini and the Giallorossi immediately turned the page to their next opponent, Parma. With only two days of rest between games and tough fixtures against AC Milan and Rangers looming next week, Roma might have been forgiven if they played a bit flat […]

Morning, all! Jacob deGrom has been named the American League Comeback Player of the Year on the strength of a 2.97 ERA in 172 innings. Catching prospect Malcolm Moore hasn’t been able to carry forward his momentum from the start of the Arizona Fall League season, with his performance both at and behind the plate. […]

Meet the Mets Keith Hernandez sat down for an interview with the Post and revealed he would like to stay with SNY even though his current contract is up. Hernandez is also firmly in the re-sign Pete Alonso and Edwin Díaz camp. Should the Mets lose Edwin Díaz if he opts out, who could replace […]

As you’d expect after the struggles from the Detroit Tigers offense in the second half of the 2025 season, coaching changes are in the works. Whether they’ll be positive ones is anyone’s guess at this point. Hitting coach Keith Beauregard will not return to the Tigers in 2026. He joins first base coach Anthony Iapoce […]

Earlier this week, I wrote a post that looked at each position on the Brewers and identified shortstop and the outfield as the most likely places that the team could improve the team in 2026 (with a TBD in the starting rotation). As a follow-up to that post, I’m going to look at the upcoming […]

The Blue Jays followed up a brutal Game 3 loss that went 18 innings with a late blowout to even the series up at two all. Now facing the final game in Los Angeles, the scales could tip heavily in their favor if they managed to snag a 3-2 series lead heading back to Toronto. […]

Good morning, baseball fans! With today being an off-day for the World Series, let’s get back to some of our regularly scheduled content about the San Francisco Giants for today’s BP. While the team may have had another lackluster season on the whole, they did have some absolutely awesome defensive gems. And the Giants’ social […]

The Orioles claimed Bryan Baker from the Blue Jays all the way back in November 2021. The move came shortly after the team reinstated Jorge López and DJ Stewart from the 60-day injured list. Baker went on to join fellow relievers Paul Fry, Dillon Tate and Joey Krehbiel on the 2022 Opening Day roster. Baker […]

We cover the coverage like PCA covers center field. The Cubs have things to do. I’ve no doubt that the current scarcity of Cub coverage is only due to the ongoing finale to the season, a dramatic World Series between the mighty Dodgers and ineffable Blue Jays, who seek to cast a fog upon LA. […]

The Arizona Cardinals worked out nine free agents on Wednesday at their practice facility, three of whom were quarterbacks. NFL General Managers regularly bring in players at various positions in order to update their records in the event a position of need arises from an injury. It is called “keeping current.” The players were (in […]

Back on June 2, I wrote an article about the Colorado Rockies then-record, but also rescored each game based on “Banana Ball” rules, inspired by the Savannah Bananas. At that time, the Rockies were 12-50 with a run differential of -181. Based on Banana Ball rules, they would’ve actually been 14-15-33 with a run differential […]

Braves History 2021 – The Braves take a three-games-to-one lead in the World Series by winning Game 4 at home, 3 – 2, over Houston. The Astros take an early 2 – 0 lead, scoring a run against unlikely opener Dylan Lee in the 1st and another on a solo homer by Jose Altuve in […]

Marco Scutaro turns 50 today (sorry Marco, but it only gets worse from here). Many of my favourite Jays have birthdays in October. We picked up Scutaro in trade from the A’s back in November of 2007. In the post about the trade achnegy said: I am not surprised at who this trade partner is […]

Hello, friends. There are now 147 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day 2026. At most two of these days will have real baseball, depending on whether the World Series finishes in six or seven games. Today is not one of those days, as the teams will travel back to Toronto to settle whatever is left. […]

I have to say, it’s been fun watching the Sixers and Flyers so far this season. Sure, all of us here are just staring into the wintry void waiting for baseball to come back, but the winter sports teams at least being entertaining helps pass the time, especially on an Eagles bye week. Now if […]

There’s a reason why it’s so rare that teams win back-to-back World Series. It’s Not Easy! The New York Yankees were the last team to pull off a repeat (actually their most recent was a three-peat) in 1998-2000. The last National League team to do it was the Big Red Machine in 1975-76. Diehard A’s […]
