The Mariners beat the Yankees 2-1 in Seattle on Monday Night. The outcome proves the old adage that good pitching beats good hitting every time. Seattle might have a better starting pitching rotation than the New York Yankees when fully healthy, and that is scary. The Yankees wanted to acquire the Seattle starting pitcher, Luis…
There is a certain kind of magic when a baseball legend finally comes home. You picture the standing ovations, the nostalgic tears, and the vintage fastball painting the outside corner just like it did a decade ago. Unfortunately for the Detroit Tigers and their fans, the Arizona Diamondbacks didn’t get the script. Instead of a…
It was all clicking for the Washington Nationals against their National League East rival, the Philadelphia Phillies. 13 runs on 17 hits, seven runs, six earned, and 10 hits of which came against Philadelphia’s starting pitcher, Taijuan Walker. Two runs allowed on just seven hits by Nats pitching. And one inconsequential error. The team is…
Starting the season getting swept is not what the Giants were expecting coming into the 2026 season. They have new management, new players, and yet, they look like the same old Giants. They are hoping to bounce back against the Padres in their first division series of 2026. They will face three pitchers they are…

Baseball is a sport built on failure. If you fail seven times out of ten at the plate, you are going to the Hall of Fame. It’s a game that routinely humbles the greatest athletes on the planet. But apparently, nobody bothered to explain the rules of baseball mortality to Cleveland Guardians Outfielder Chase DeLauter….
On Thursday, the Tampa Bay Rays were defeated by none other than the St Louis Cardinals. After a decade of struggling to win, a low attendance, and a really bad year in 2025, things seem to finally be looking up for the Cardinals. Memory Lane With Mike Mayers Since 2016, the Cardinals have struggled. How…
The Yankees have started the season well. They beat the San Francisco Giants by shutting them out in the first two games. This was the first time that the Giants were shut out in the first two games of the season. They have been playing baseball since 1878. It is easy to overlook the Yankees’…
As elated as the Nationals had to be feeling at the end of Thursday’s victory over the Cubs, it would be safe to declare the team is feeling the absolute opposite after today’s game. All of the issues from last season were on display in this contest: subpar offense, atrocious pitching, and iffy defense. Miles…
Andrés Giménez, the No. 9 batter in the Toronto Blue Jays lineup, came to bat for the last time in the bottom of the 9th with two outs and runners on second and third. Rather than send his team to a shocking home-opening defeat, the shortstop laced a groundball up the middle on a 1-1…
