Travis d'Arnaud Needs To Stop Hitting Balls At Andrelton Simmons

Braves shortstop Andrelton Simmons made a ridiculous throw to get Mets catcher Travis d’Arnaud out at first in Friday’s game, which is cool, because Simmons churns out gorgeous defensive highlights like it’s nothing, but what’s even cooler is that Simmons made almost the same exact throw on d’Arnau...

David Ortiz Greets Jacoby Ellsbury: "Hey, Rich Bitch"

David Ortiz took a second to mess with a couple of his former teammates, as the Yankees clobbered the Red Sox last night.
