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.

The Blue Jays Lost In The Saddest Way
Sometimes, your team really bones it and gives up a walk-off home run. Or maybe they lose after a new MLB rule bites them in the ass. Both of those scenarios suck, but neither is outright embarrassing. The Blue Jays’ 4-3 loss to the Orioles in extras tonight, however, ended in sad, humiliating fashi...
This Pitch Was So Bad That Adrian Beltre Had To Call Time To Laugh At It
