Spend enough years following one franchise and you risk losing the ability to tell its quirks from the league’s. The dysfunction starts to feel like physics. This is just how it works, you tell yourself, because you have no other team’s daily weather to measure it against. You can be loyal to an outlier for […]
The Arizona Cardinals were a mess this past season concerning the running back room. Both starter James Conner and his primary backup, Trey Benson, became injured early in the season. What occurred next was that their RB3, Emari Demercado, was forced into the lineup as the new starting running back. His backups then became guys […]
Rafael Devers has not been the offensive star the San Francisco Giants hoped for when they traded for him last season from the Boston Red Sox. Adding to the ire of Giants fans has been the attitude of Devers as of late. He recently made a scene in the ninth inning against the Miami Marlins […] The post Giants manager Tony Vitello hilariously jokes about pinch-running Rafael Devers again appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Cubs have lost this season almost as often as they've won. But the defense has always been breathtaking.
In each of the last few seasons, the San Francisco Giants have found themselves stuck when it comes to what direction they need to go in at the trade deadline. While they inevitably sold at last year’s deadline, there could’ve been a decent argument for them to buy. However, 2026 is a completely different story.

BEN CORHEI #73 Height: 6’5” Weight: 300lb Position: OL Class: Freshman Hometown: Valdosta, GA Summary: When the Cards poke around in Valdosta, find a diamond in the rough three star athlete, and are setting up camp outside Lowndes High, you could say we’ve…..“Ben” there, done that.

On Wednesday, Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson put together one of the most productive offensive days you’ll ever see in MLB. By the time the dust settled, he had completely rewritten his season stat line. Swanson entered the day with…
The New York Mets got a significant piece back, and Zack Short paid the price. Between games of a doubleheader, the Mets reinstated shortstop Francisco Lindor from the 10-day injured list and designated Short for assignment in the corresponding move. A left calf strain had sidelined Lindor for about two months. Before hitting the shelf, he was off to a slow start, hitting .226/.314/.355, but he is a career .273/.342/.473 hitter with the speed and defense to anchor the lineup, and the Mets ...
The Chicago Cubs are in pure desperation mode when it comes to finding pitching, and their most recent roster move reflected exactly that. The Cubs claimed right-hander Bryse Wilson off waivers from the Phillies, designating righty Christian Roa for assignment in a corresponding 40-man move. A Rotation in Crisis Earlier the same day, the Cubs placed both Edward Cabrera and Ben Brown on the injured list, Cabrera with a hamstring strain and Brown with a neck strain. That left Chicago witho...

Hello, friends. The west coast road trip of disappointment is finally over. At times, it seemed like it could have been something better than it was. If only the Orioles had scored more than six runs in three games against the Mariners. If only they hadn’t blown the series opener against the Dodgers. If only […]
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: L, 6-8 at Indianapolis Indians LF Duke Ellis 1-4, BB, K, SB2B-SS-2B Marco Luciano 0-4, BB, K, throwing error — some weird defensive notes afoot, though not as funny as Travis d’Arnaud and Asdrubal Cabrera with the Mets a few years agoDH Yanquiel Fernández 1-4, RBI, SFCF Garrett Martin 2-5, 2B, HR, […]
Another day, another game without Kyle Schwarber in the Phillies starting lineup. Don Mattingly told reporters that Schwarber’s back tightness is feeling better and that he could possibly return to the lineup tonight. Schwarber did appear in the game last night as a pinch hitter and worked a walk after a ten pitch at-bat that […]
The Detroit Tigers failed to secure a series win against the New York Yankees on Wednesday night, falling short in a 4-2 defeat that saw Tarik Skubal earn his fourth loss of the season. The offense did him no favors, going just 1-for-6 with runners in scoring position and leaving nine on base, but Skubal’s […]
