Giants Nearly Lose Stadium To Invading Seagull Force
I don’t want to get too far into it, but I firmly believe that animals will one day rise up and wage war on their human oppressors. When that day comes, the opening salvo may look something like this:...
Gerardo Parra Nabs Jay Bruce With A Laserbeam From The Wall
Gerardo Parra’s reputation as a defensive wizard might be a bit out ahead of his actual production since his historic 2013 season, but man, the Rockies outfielder’s still got plenty of highlights in him. Look at this throw, which wasn’t even perfectly on line but still got Bruce out at third fair an...
Bryce Harper Takes Phillies Pitcher's Offering To The Toilet
With a full count on Bryce Harper in Sunday’s game, Phillies pitcher Jeanmar Gomez threw a sinker over the plate. The Nats outfielder put that pitch straight into the damn toilet....

Report: The Giants Banned Hotel Room Service For Pablo Sandoval So He Wouldn't Overeat
While Pablo Sandoval remains on the disabled list for a shoulder strain that may or may not be real, the Red Sox third baseman’s relationship with food is being scrutinized. Comcast Sports Net’s Sean McAdam was on Toucher and Rich today and reported that when Sandoval was with the San Francisco Gian...
Alcides Escobar Made One Hell Of A Double Play
Royals shortstop Alcides Escobar can do a lot of cool things in the field, and last night he turned in his first stunner of this season....
Vin Scully Patiently Explains Why 13 Isn't An Unlucky Number
It’s storytime with Vin Scully, who is calling his 67th and final Dodgers season. His train of thought directed by an RBI single by Arizona’s Nick Ahmed, who wears uniform No. 13, Scully launched into a recitation of just how much the number 13 means to this great nation—with brief interrupts to cal...
This Pitch Was So Bad That Adrian Beltre Had To Call Time To Laugh At It
Chris Tillman had a rough night. The Orioles pulled him after he gave up 6 runs in 5.1 innings of work. That’s nothing to be ashamed of, the Rangers can really hit and they’re in their home ballpark. However this pitch to Adrian Beltre is flat embarrassing....
Brett Gardner Tumbles Butt First Into The Stands To Catch A Foul Ball
The Yankees wrap up a three-game series in Toronto tonight, and they got their second out of the night with a fair bit of pizazz, as Brett Gardner went ass-over-teakettle to make this grab here....
Francisco Lindor Won't Let The Rays' Catwalks Get Him Down
The Tampa Bay Rays still have dumb catwalks at the top of their dumb stadium, and they still occasionally wreak havoc on high fly balls. During last night’s game against the Indians, one catwalk prevented shortstop Francisco Lindor from catching a foul ball with two outs in the ninth inning. ...
Report: Red Sox Happy To Pretend Pablo Sandoval's Injury Isn't Fake
Officially, Pablo Sandoval is on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left shoulder. Unofficially, and probably more accurately: Pablo Sandoval doesn’t want to sit on the Red Sox bench, and the Red Sox don’t want him around. These next four years are going to be great!...

The St. Louis Cardinals’ four-game winning streak ended Wednesday as they lost to the Milwaukee Brewers, 6-4....
Noble Strongman Trevor Story Undone By His Own Dumb Stadium
The Colorado Rockies will try anything to not suck. They paid Mike Hampton something like a billion dollars, stuck their baseballs in a dang humidor, and even appealed to Jesus Christ. This year, they decided to try something new, and made the right-field fence about twice as high as it used to be. ...
Korean Announcers Lose Their Shit Over Dae-Ho Lee's 10th-Inning Walk-Off Dinger
The Mariners stopped their five-game skid in the most emphatic way possible: by walking off the winners after a big ole’ dinger in the tenth inning against a division rival. You can watch the official MLB version of Dae-Ho Lee’s home run against the Rangers if you want, but we recommend these Korean...
Dee Gordon Turned A 16-Pitch At-Bat Into The Game-Winning Run

The Atlanta Braves Are Very Bad, And Fredi Gonzalez Isn't Helping
It’s not easy managing a team as bereft of talent as the Atlanta Braves, so my first impulse is to feel bad for Fredi Gonzalez, who has steered his garbage team to an 0-7 start. But the Braves have been in some very winnable games, and Gonzalez hasn’t been doing much but tripping over his own feet i...
May Noah Syndergaard Never Stop Striking Everybody Out
The Mets lost tonight despite a historically good start from Noah Syndergaard because they’re the Mets and ambitious losses are part of their DNA. They knocked around Jose Fernandez in the first inning, then loaded up the bases in the second only to leave empty-handed. After that, Fernandez straight...
