This Little A's Fan Is An Elite Left Fielder
The Oakland A’s, who are cool and good, beat the most pugilistic team in the AL West, the Texas Rangers, thanks to a great start from Sean Manaea and another dinger from Marcus Semien.

Danny Valencia Spent A Game Hitting The Dog Piss Out Of The Ball
Oakland A’s third baseman Danny Valencia seems destined to have the kind of career that will leave him as A Guy to remember. The 31-year-old entered the league in 2010 and has played for six different teams while fashioning himself into a platoon righty who sends left-handed offerings into the seats...
Richmond Beat Sydney Swans 101-100 On Kick After The Siren
One of Australian Rules Football’s many byzantine rules is that a player awarded a mark or a free kick as time expires may take a kick after the buzzer. Rarely, this kick can decide a game—but it did this morning as Richmond defeated Sydney Swans 101-100 thanks to Sam Lloyd’s perfect goal....

Max Scherzer's 20-K Game Was As Unusual As It Was Brilliant
There’s nothing ordinary about striking out 20 guys in a single game, and Max Scherzer doesn’t really need any help shining up the diamond he gave us last night, but this performance stands out as unusual even amongst its peers....
Noah Syndergaard, Clearly Inspired By Bartolo Colon, Slapped A Pair Of Dingers (UPDATE: He Actually Was)
Bartolo Colon is now a power hitter, but he’s always been a source of wisdom and knowledge. As the wizened sage of the Mets’ pitching staff, his job is to lead by example. Apparently content with his teachings on how to dominate from the mound, it appears Bartolo has moved on to teaching his flock h...

White Sox Bullpen Catcher Snatches A Homer With His Bare Hand
I like bullpen catchers. They all look like jovial dads who would be happy to help you with your math homework before heading out to the backyard to have a catch. They never get any camera time, so it’s nice to see one shine when he gets the chance:...
Remember When Eden Hazard Did Dope Shit Like This All The Time?
It was only a year ago when Eden Hazard, the pearl of the Chelsea juggernaut that cruised to the title, was skipping and shimmying his way past Premier League defenses with the rakish spirit and effortless grace of one of those dancing tough guys in West Side Story. This year, for both Hazard and hi...
A Russell Westbrook Rebound Is An Event
If you watch enough sports, you learn to anticipate when something cool is about to happen. You know what’s coming after Steph Curry spins his defender with a bouncing crossover beyond the three-point line, or when Adrian Peterson gets a safety one-on-one in the open field, or when Chris Sale works ...
How The Hell Did Jay Beagle Make That Game-Saving Block?

Twins Ball Boy Lays Out For Catch, Should Immediately Win The Gold Glove Award
For some teams, ball boy is simply a ceremonial position, filled by whichever warm body. But the Minnesota Twins apparently employ real go-getters, and this athletic young buck took very seriously his role of protecting the fans down the first base line....
Hanley Ramirez Clobbered The Bejesus Out Of This Pitch
Sean Manaea is the best pitching prospect in the pipeline for the Oakland A’s, but when you’re a rookie, you’re gonna get knocked around a bit no matter your pedigree. For example: He put a pitch into the middle of the zone against Hanley Ramirez this evening in Boston, and the converted first basem...
Brandon Laird Won Free Beer For A Year With This Dinger
Brandon Laird is a 28-year-old infielder who scuffled his way to a .197 average in 53 games for three teams in three years of Major League ball. He’s currently plying his craft in Japan for the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters, who are now my favorite NPB team because that name rules (the nickname is, s...
