Jacoby Ellsbury Is King Of Catcher Interference
You might already be familiar with the most insignificant of Jacoby Ellsbury’s baseball skills—his ability to get on base via catcher interference. He set a single-season record last year by doing it 12 times, meaning that he alone was responsible for nearly a third of the league’s calls. Tonight, h...
Florida Wins College World Series After LSU Misses Out On Tying Run Due To Interference
Florida defeated LSU to take home its first College World Series title with a 4-3 win yesterday and a 6-1 win tonight in the best-of-three series. The Gators jumped out to an early 2-0 lead off of a pair of unearned runs, and the score stayed that way until LSU began mounting their comeback in the s...
The Mets Gaze Deeper Into The Abyss
Of the seven starting pitchers that the New York Mets carried in spring training, five have been on the disabled list this season. Now, it looks like you can make it six....
Trea Turner Only Needed Three Innings To Tie His Own Team Record For Most Stolen Bases In A Game<em></em>
Of all the various factors that make Trea Turner so damn fun to watch, perhaps none is so impressive as his speed. He’s making that ridiculously, abundantly clear tonight....
José Ramírez Is For Real
José Ramírez’s offensive breakout last year was much-needed for Cleveland, helping the team come within a few outs of a World Series title in a season they spent almost entirely without their most productive position player. It also didn’t seem particularly sustainable—a young player whose bat had n...
Pity The Poor Man Who Tries To Run On Yasiel Puig
Yasiel Puig has a cannon for an arm. You know this. Everyone who has watched him knows this. Kole Calhoun, presumably, knows this—yet he found himself trying to go from first to third in the eighth inning tonight on a single hit to Puig, which meant that he found himself thrown out....
Cleveland Falls Behind 9-2, Erupts For 15-9 Comeback Win
The Rangers gave Cole Hamels a very, very comfortable cushion of run support in his return from a two-month stint on the disabled list. Elvis Andrus hit two home runs, Adrian Beltre and Joey Gallo each added another, and Texas had a 9-2 lead after the top of the fourth inning....
Russell Westbrook Is The MVP
Russell Westbrook—the first man to average a triple-double since Oscar Robertson, an insane human and statistical highlight reel, the player who single-handedly propelled the Oklahoma City Thunder into the playoffs—is the 2017 NBA MVP....

The Bucks’ Malcolm Brogdon is the 2017 NBA Rookie of the Year, defeating 76ers teammates Joel Embiid and Dario Saric for the award. ...
Javier Báez Robs Bryce Harper With Perfect Leaping Grab
Javier Báez showed off his range in the third inning against the Nationals tonight, leaping to snare a ball that seemingly was all but guaranteed to find the gap and become a hit. That he made it look so easy is just testament to how smooth a fielder he is: ...
Reports: Nationals To Add Struggling, Volatile Reliever To Struggling, Volatile Bullpen
The Nationals’ success this year has been possible only despite their bullpen, which has seemingly tried very hard to make victory impossible as one of the worst relief corps in baseball. Their front office’s latest attempt to change that should do very little—the reported signing of Francisco Rodri...
Oregon's Kavell Bigby-Williams Played All Season Under Criminal Investigation For Sexual Assault
Former Oregon Ducks forward Kavell Bigby-Williams played the entirety of the 2016-17 season while under criminal investigation for sexual assault....

Jimmy Butler's Trainer Has Met Drug Dealers With Better Morals Than Bulls GM Gar Forman
A few hours after Jimmy Butler was traded to the Timberwolves for some odds and ends lying around the office, his trainer had some strong words for the Bulls’ front office:...
The Poor Blue Jays Just Can't Get To .500
It’s been a bad year for the Blue Jays. And while it’s gotten a little better in the last month or so—and much better since, say, their 1-9 start—they still just can’t manage to pull themselves to .500, even as they’ve continually hovered just under the mark....
Here's LaVar Ball Being Raucously Booed While Leaving The Draft
As expected, the Lakers selected UCLA point guard Lonzo Ball with the second overall pick of tonight’s NBA draft. As expected, his father LaVar Ball had some grand proclamations to make beforehand. (Mainly that he had it on the good authority of Zeus and Jesus themselves that Lonzo would be drafted ...
Here's How The First Round Of The 2017 NBA Draft Shook Out
The biggest story of the NBA draft’s first round was the Bulls and Timberwolves swapping picks as part of a trade that sent Jimmy Butler to Minnesota in an absurdly low package. Apart from that, things unfolded largely without incident. Kristaps Porzingis is still a Knick, Paul George is still a Pac...
Reports: Bulls Trade Jimmy Butler To Timberwolves For Zach LaVine, Kris Dunn
Days of frenzied Jimmy Butler trade rumors have apparently met their end, via reports from Adrian Wojnarowski and the Chicago Tribune’s K.C. Johnson, among others. The Bulls are sending Butler and their No. 16 draft pick to Minnesota in exchange for shooting guard Zach LaVine, point guard Kris Dunn ...
Jarrod Dyson Bunts To Break Up Justin Verlander's Perfect Game In The Sixth Inning
For a while tonight, Justin Verlander looked as sharp as he ever has. Through the first out of the sixth inning, he was perfect, with 10 strikeouts for his stat line and the cushion of a 4-0 lead. And then Jarrod Dyson decided that he was okay with flouting convention in order to give himself the be...
