The Chicago Cubs lost Catcher Miguel Amaya in last night’s win in Toronto over the Blue Jays. Amaya was trying to leg out an infield single when his left leg buckled and he went down with what appeared to be a left ankle injury. Manager Craig Counsell said after the game that Amaya will be…
Cam Schlittler, the young Yankee starting pitcher, made his sixth career start (second at Yankee Stadium). He pitched well, but the Yankees did not score much. Cam Schlittler was not outclassed in this game. It would be reasonable to feel sorry for him because it seems as if each start he makes is important. The…
Well, this is just perfect. The Chicago Cubs finally get their Catcher Miguel Amaya back from a lengthy stint on the injured list, and what happens? He gets carted off the field barely 24 hours later. Sometimes baseball really knows how to kick you when you are down, doesn’t it? Amaya’s Unfortunate Return To the…
Miami Marlins rookie Outfielder Jakob Marsee has continued to take the league by storm. He had a historic game tonight on the road against the Cleveland Guardians. He finished with a whopping 7 RBI. He hit a three-run home run, a two-run home run, and added a two-run double. His performance helped the Marlins prevail…
Pittsburgh Pirates Right Fielder Bryan Reynolds had a game for the ages this afternoon on the road against the Milwaukee Brewers. He hit home runs in the 5th and 6th innings and finished with 5 RBI.

Well, well, well. Look who’s finally getting their big break. The New York Mets, in what can only be described as a move born from sheer necessity rather than strategic brilliance, are promoting right-hander Nolan McLean to make his Major League debut this Saturday against the Seattle Mariners at Citi Field. When you are replacing…
Atlanta Braves Catcher Drake Baldwin is having a tremendous five-game stretch. In his last five games, he has collected 11 RBI, which includes two home runs. The majority of this production came in a game on August 7 against Miami, where he collected 5 RBI and essentially carried the Braves to the 8-6 victory. Baldwin…
Joe Ryan may be the best starting pitcher in the American League. He presents a challenge for the young Cam Schlittler as the Yankees look to sweep the Twins in the wake of Giancarlo Stanton’s 4-hit outburst last night. Joe Ryan is third in pitcher wins above replacement at 4.5. Joe Ryan is also among…
Well, well, well. Look who decided to show up to the party fashionably late with a dozen roses and an apology text. The New York Mets – you know, those lovable underdogs who’ve been breaking hearts since 1962 – finally remembered how to play baseball on Tuesday night, and boy did they make up for…
Remember when the Dodgers had this whole division thing wrapped up with a pretty bow? Yeah, well, about that. The San Diego Padres just served up a reality check that’s harder to swallow than a $15 ballpark hot dog. Tuesday night’s 5-1 beatdown of the Giants wasn’t just another W in the books. Oh no,…
