Everything is going great in the Bronx, except for the numbskull fans and very not good Yankees baseball
For everyone who’s ever said the Yankees are the worst, today is your day....

No! Not that kind of edibles!
New naming rights mean stoners are gonna show up to Texas ballpark… and be severely bummed out...

In chase for ad bucks, Dodgers conveniently forget Julio Urias’ 20-game suspension for domestic abuse
The latest details of the toxic atmosphere in the Mets organization, as reported on Friday by The Athletic, are plenty gross, and certainly sound an alarm that the current front office, led by Sandy Alderson, is ill-equipped for the moment, to put it generously....

Tatis returns and Padres-Dodgers give us a look at what could be an epic summer
Fernando Tatis Jr. returned to the Padres’ lineup on Friday night, 10 days after all of baseball got its stomach tied up in knots seeing the 22-year-old star suffer a partially dislocated left shoulder....

How well did<em> MLB: The Show</em> choose cover athletes? We rank all 15 player performances that season
One month later than usual, MLB: The Show is finally releasing their 2021 installment. Although the game itself doesn’t fully come out until Tuesday, April 20, today begins the early access release period, meaning if you pre-ordered the game, you’re probably playing it right now....

Ronald Acuña has transformed into Superman
The best player in baseball resides in Atlanta. This was always something of the forecast for Ronald Acuña Jr. when he came up through the Braves system. It just wasn’t believed his rise to the top would be quite so ruthlessly achieved. ...

Justin Turner's HR sends nacho eater home with a ball, a brand new sweatshirt and probably some heartburn
I’ve never understood the desire to get nachos with liquid cheese at a baseball game, or anywhere else for that matter....

Carlos Ródon's near perfection and some good dealing going on in Chicago
Carlos Rodón of the White Sox twirled the second no-hitter of the MLB season, and narrowly missed out on a perfect game. Two outs short of the perfecto, he hit Roberto Perez on a misplaced slider. It would have been the White Sox’s fourth perfect game — setting and new record for a franchise — and f...

Manny Ramirez once confused O.J. Simpson and Chad Ogea
Don’t you just miss Manny Ramirez sometimes?...

Moving back the mound, and other rules changes we can get behind
With MLB taking over Minor League Baseball, and apparently hitting small towns worse than the death of American manufacturing, one small benefit is MLB’s newfound ability to experiment with new rules in the lower leagues it now controls. It gives the big leagues a lab, as it were, to test the effect...

Anthony Edwards not knowing A-Rod is proof that MLB has failed with young Black people
I have an honest question. ...

Bernie Madoff, whose Ponzi scheme screwed the Mets for years, dies in prison
Bernie Madoff tried to get clemency from Donald Trump in 2019, and last year asked to be released from prison because of kidney disease. He didn’t get the presidential get-out-of-jail-free card, and didn’t get the compassionate release, but Madoff is now off the hook for the remaining 138 years of h...

Chicago doesn’t need your tired whataboutism, Kaycee Sogard
I don’t know Kaycee Sogard, the wife of Chicago Cubs infielder Eric Sogard. What little I do know about her, I garnered her epic, self-imposed Twitter meltdown last night, which happened, conveniently, just as the Cubs were losing to the Pirates 6-3....

Joe West wins suit vs. Paul Lo Duca in a story with no heroes
They say justice is blind, which means that’s one thing justice has in common with Joe West....

Cleveland fans react to Yu Chang’s game-ending error with racist messages
There was only one error in last night’s Cleveland-White Sox tilt. But it happened to be the defining play of the ball game. The final throw also inspired trolls on the internet to hurl racist slurs at Cleveland infielder Yu Chang....

Akil Baddoo is this year’s feel-good story you have to root for
In baseball, more than any other sport, we seem to be gifted with a player who bursts onto the scene seemingly out of nowhere. Last year, it was Randy Arozarena, particularly through his ridiculous run with Tampa Bay. To start this baseball season, carrying over from a white-hot spring training, it’...

The Cubs are allergic to hits again
Nine games into a season is generally a stupid time to declare any team has major problems. It’s just about five percent of a season. Barely a pimple on the nose of the body of the season. But if you’re the Chicago Cubs, and you’ve had the last couple of seasons they’ve had, and you’re doing/fucking...

What’s that Odor? Rougned’s new Mr. Clean look throws off MLB fans
Rougned Odor is now a New York Yankee, and therefore has to abide by their idiotic no-beard policy, which makes absolutely zero sense and is easily the most antiquated, useless policy in all of professional sports....

The griping of one Black small biz owner is not a legit beef against MLB All-Star Game move
There may be a good-faith argument to be had about the efficacy of MLB moving the All-Star Game out of Georgia. While moving the Super Bowl helped press Arizona to recognize Martin Luther King Day as a holiday, and the NBA’s retraction of its All-Star Game from Charlotte played a role in getting par...

SEE IT: Bryce Harper tries to tell attention-seeking ass how to pronounce the tilde in Acuña
It’s early in the baseball season, but it’s going to be hard to top what happened in Atlanta on Friday night for the major leagues’ self-own of the year. Of course, that’s what we all thought on Thursday night, when the news emerged of Trevor Bauer having his sticky balls inspected....
