Yasiel Puig Tosses Ball To Fan, Knocks Her Tooth Out
When it comes to hazards you need to look out for at a baseball game, a player tossing you a souvenir ball ranks several dozen places behind things like “watch out for foul balls” and “try not to get puked on.” And yet, one Dodgers fan managed to get herself extremely fucked up during what should ha...

The Chicago White Sox held a Bark in the Park event tonight and honestly who cares what I have to say, look at the dogs. They’re all good, happy, curious, panting, slobbery dogs....
Why Was Mitch Williams Fired From MLB Network? Why Is He Suing His Former Employer?

Chris Sale Is Wasting His Talent On The South Side
On Sunday night, Chris Sale became the first White Sox pitcher to strike out at least 200 batters in four consecutive seasons, running up 12 strikeouts over eight innings. It was the 34th time in his career that he’s struck out more than 10 batters in a game. He did so on the way to his eighth loss ...
Caleb Joseph Still Doesn't Have An RBI This Season
It wasn’t easy to find a photo of Orioles backup catcher Caleb Joseph at the plate—he’s done precisely nothing of note there. But that futility itself may prove noteworthy. Joseph is so close to finishing the entire season without a single RBI, something that no one else with as many at-bats has don...

A.J. Pierzynski Is Probably Done

The Yankees Are Not Dead
The Yankees are, impressively and unexpectedly, still relevant. Despite trading away or easing into retirement much of their high-priced veteran talent, New York has hung around. Here we are on Sept. 7, there’s a crispness to the air, the kids are heading back to school—and the Yankees are 4.5 games...
Dansby Swanson's First Career Dinger Was A Madcap, Inside-The-Park Dash
Dansby Swanson is one of the hottest prospects in Major League Baseball, and he hit the first home run of his career tonight in rather lively fashion. Swanson, whose name is real and not the product of an overly on-the-nose college football head coach name generator, sent a pitch all the way to what...
Giancarlo Stanton Is Back, Sort Of
Just over three weeks ago, the Marlins announced that Giancarlo Stanton would be out for at least six weeks, and most likely the rest of the MLB season, with a Grade 3 groin strain (a strain is classified as a Grade 3 if muscles are torn). When the Marlins made that announcement, they were tied with...

Just What The Hell Has Gotten Into Brian Dozier?
Objectively good baseball player he may be, no one would scold you for admitting that you’ve gone entire seasons without thinking about Brian Dozier even once. This is partly due to the fact that Dozier is notoriously streaky and can disappear for months at a time, and partly due to the fact that he...
