Baseball Player Doesn't Watch Baseball: "It's Too Long And Boring"
Among the things I learned about Anthony Rendon from this Washington Post article, it's that the young Nationals infielder doesn't seem to like baseball all that much....
Derek Jeter And Todd Frazier, Together Again After 16 Years
My jerk coworkers won't understand, but Derek Jeter does represent something to Yankee fans of a certain age. Like me! Over the course of his career, baseball players went from grown men I admired to people who are now younger than me. These two pictures, of Jeter posing with Reds 3B Todd Frazier 16...

This Is What Happens When You Try To Bare-Hand A Giancarlo Stanton Homer [Update]
This hand belongs to some poor bastard who attended Monday night's MLB home run derby, where he tried to catch a Giancarlo Stanton tater with his bare hand. Honestly, I'm sort of surprised this hand isn't in worse shape. I mean, have you seen Giancarlo Stanton hit a baseball?...
Derek Jeter And Adam Wainwright Saved The All-Star Game
The silly, silly controversy over whether Adam Wainright gave Derek Jeter "a couple of pipe shots" is a great thing. Not necessarily the act itself, nor the discussion over it, in which people seem upset not that it happened but that Wainwright didn't lie about it, or even the immediate fallout, w...
Padres Tweet Tony Gwynn Tribute After All-Star Game
So, is this a swipe at FOX and MLB for not even mentioning Tony Gwynn during tonight's broadcast? Or just the Padres recognizing Mr. Padre at a time when baseball has the spotlight? ...
All 100 Times Jeter's Name Was Mentioned On Fox—And All Zero Of Gwynn's
Lest you forget, Fox was sure to make you aware that this is Derek Jeter's final season in the majors. The Captain's name was spoken no fewer than 100 times on tonight's All-Star Game broadcast, but at what cost? That of remembering people like Tony Gwynn, Don Zimmer, or Bob Welch—none of whom were ...
Adam Wainwright Had To Apologize For Saying He Grooved A Pitch To Jeter
This is insane. Adam Wainwright made a comment to reporters after his outing was complete that he grooved Derek Jeter a couple of meatballs. It was harmless. Then it became a thing because Derek Jeter has to get All-Star Game hits on the level? I literally have no idea. But then, Adam Wainwright s...
Dee Gordon And Freddie Freeman Combine For Pretty Defensive Play
Dee Gordon showed off his considerable range and Freddie Freeman showed off his considerable flexibility to retire Michael Brantley and get the National League out of the sixth inning. ...
Here's The Derek Jeter Farewell At The All-Star Game
John Farrell waited for the American League to take the field in the top of the fourth inning so he could remove Jeter from the game and give the crowd a proper chance to send off Jeter. It was a nice moment, Jeter tipped his cap (face) to the crowd, the players, and the coaches. He then went into...
MLB Network Host Told Trout Before Game He'd Triple Home Derek Jeter
MLB Network host Greg Amsinger spoke with Angels slugger Mike Trout during today's pre-game festivities, and jokingly told the All-Star outfielder that he'd come up to bat with Derek Jeter on second base—and hit a triple to drive home the Yankees captain. Sure enough, that's exactly what happened in...
Communist Umpire Ruins All-Star Game On First Play
I'm sorry: is this, or is this not, Derek Jeter's night? Are we not saying farewell to The Captain tonight? Someone better get the umpires on board then, because on the second goddamned pitch of the game, Derek Sanderson Jeter went to his motherfucking left and snagged a rocket off the bat of Andrew...
Derek Jeter And Mike Trout
Derek Jeter and Mike Trout. Derek Jeter and Mike Trout. Derek Jeter and Mike Trout. Derek Jeter and Yasiel Puig and Mike Trout. Derek Jeter and Mike Trout. ...
Which MLB Teams Suck At Splurging On All-Stars?
At this year's MLB All-Star Game, the A's, who have the sixth lowest payroll, have the most All-Stars of any team in the majors with six. Which led us to wonder, over the past decade, which teams have gotten the most amount of superstars for the least amount of money?...
So Many Mascots
This might be the greatest collection of baseball talent ever gathered in one place. Twenty-six mascots posed for a class photo yesterday in Minneapolis, delighting and horrifying onlookers in equal measure....
The Best Place To Sit At The Home Run Derby
I mean, if you're going to go to the damned Home Run Derby, you may as well catch a home run ball, right? Here's where to sit if you want to catch one—and where the most cost-effective seats per home run happen to be. ...
How America Voted In The All-Star Game Final Vote
Yesterday MLB announced that Chris Sale and Anthony Rizzo won the balloting for the final spots in the All-Star Game. Each was the best choice, but, yes, each was from Chicago....
Brewers Catcher Jonathan Lucroy's Anti-Cardinals All-Star Ad Is Perfect
Milwaukee Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy's making a push to get voted into this season's All-Star Game, and his anti-Yadier Molina, anti-Cardinals message features the kind of mudslinging one could only find in a local political ad....
Aloe Blacc Is Your Sports Music Overlord
This right here is MLB's official commercial for the 2014 All-Star Game. It features, somehow, Aloe Blacc's "The Man," a song that even the most casual of sports fans is already sick and goddamn tired of listening to....
NBA Players Are Pretty Good At Inventing Smoothies
If there's one thing we know about our friends at The Starters, it's that they know how to ask the important questions. Since this year's all-star game was played in the Smoothie King Center, they decided to ask a handful of NBA players to come up with their own signature smoothie....
