Rougned Odor Still Isn't Sorry

Good Nationals Fan Mocks Ben Zobrist's Strange Batting Stance
Earlier this evening, Jayson Werth’s walk-off hit and subsequent vulgar TV interview capped off a spectacular Nationals-Cubs game. However, far earlier in the game, a Nationals fan stealthily owned the Cubs by mocking Ben Zobrist’s restless butter-churn looking batting stance. TV cameras picked it u...
How On Earth Did Adonis Garcia Hit This Pitch?

Ichiro Is The True Hit King And Pete Rose Can Eat Shit
Today, Ichiro Suzuki hit an eighth-inning double off of Fernando Rodney to the right field corner. He sent Giancarlo Stanton to third, and he trotted into second base easily, looking mildly annoyed more than anything before he briefly removed his batting helmet to salute the crowd. If you count his ...
Clayton Kershaw Walked A Guy, And It Was Bullshit
When we last checked in on Clayton Kershaw, we were marveling at his incomprehensible 22:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio, and wondering how long he would be able to maintain such an impossible level of excellence. Well, it’s been a month, and Kershaw’s strikeout-to-walk ratio is now 20:1, and so it’s offi...

Trevor Story Kneecaps Gerardo Parra
The Colorado Rockies are known purveyors of the “Two Guys, One Base” strategy and tonight, they took it too far when Trevor Story ran into Gerardo Parra like an enthused golden retriever going for a ball. He did not get the ball, but he did take out Parra....
Corey Dickerson Sent A Baseball To A Nice Farm Upstate To Live Out Its Days
Sometimes, baseballs get put out to pasture gently, getting tossed to a fan then spending the rest of their life on a shelf or something. However, not all baseballs are so lucky. Some meet much more violent ends, like this one that Corey Dickerson smashed the daylights out of....

Zack Greinke, Chill Out, My Friend
Zack Greinke left the Dodgers for the huge pile of cash that the Arizona Diamondbacks offered him this offseason, and he tried to show out a bit when he hit what he probably believed to be a donger against his former team.

Well, At Least Giancarlo Stanton Can Still Hit The Life Out Of A Baseball
Giancarlo Stanton’s season has been something of a nightmare. He’s hitting just .197, slugging .426, and his strikeout rate is an astronomically high 35 percent. He recently went through a stretch in which he struck out 17 times in 21 at-bats. It’s been a bad season, okay? It’s bad. Stanton does sti...

Last night, Giants first baseman Brandon Belt launched a home run into the bay just beyond his home ballpark’s right-field fence.

Giants Fan Goes Swimming For 69th Splash Hit
The San Francisco Giants play in a lovely bayside ballpark, with McCovey Cove and the Pacific Ocean (sort of) just feet past the right field wall.
