Robot umpires would destroy the beauty of the catcher position

UConn is pretty solid for a team that hasn’t won since 2019
There may never be a more confident 0-6 outfit in sports history than the UConn football team heading into next Saturday’s U Game rivalry matchup at UMass....
Houdini, thy name is Ole Gunnar
While most every Manchester United supporter you know will scream at you about what a sneaky good manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær is, and certainly never in a tone or volume that will make you think they’re trying to convince themselves as much as they are you, the urge for all of us who don’t support t...
The Padres’ problem isn’t their manager or attitude
The Padres were the story of the weekend, as the implosion of a team that was most people’s second favorite tends to be. Fights in the dugout, late-inning meltdowns, and a sweep at the hands of the Cardinals that leaves them three and a half games back of the wildcard with just 13 games to go (and t...

Maybe it’s time to buy Blue Jays shares
It was thought that this season would be one too early for the Blue Jays. All of their legacy entrants were in MLB full-time, but there would be growing pains, and the pitching wasn’t quite there. And both of those things are still true. But sometimes you can’t predict the league coming back to you ...
What to make of Cowboys’ 0-4 preseason
The 2021 preseason has ended, and the Dallas Cowboys did not win a single game. Going 0-4 in games that don’t count isn’t the worst thing in the world. Hell, it might actually be a good sign. In 2014 and 2018, the Cowboys lost all of their preseason games and managed to make the postseason both time...
It would be fun if baseball still had waiver deals

Hey, Jumbo: That Cup isn’t happening
Joe Thornton is a pretty divisive player in NHL circles. Some people love him, love his beard, and consider him a sure-fire Hall of Famer. Others believe Jumbo Joe to be a quietly dirty player citing examples like incessantly sticking his finger in Henrik Sedin’s eye during a game in 2011 and his hi...

Stop heckling the Astros? No, I don’t think I will, Joey Votto
Yesterday, six-time All-Star and 2010 National League MVP Joey Votto made an appearance on The Dan Patrick Show to talk about his home run streak, the social obligations that go on when a runner reaches first base, and how the game of baseball has changed during Votto’s career, among many other topi...
It’s not that Tony La Russa is old, it’s that he’s an ass
Apologies for all of those times this year calling Tony La Russa a dinosaur, because the White Sox manager continues to innovate, even at the age of 76, coming up with newer and better ways to demonstrate that he’s an asshole....
You get a high-impact player! And YOU get a high-impact player!
Well, I’ve been having an aneurysm trying to keep up with all the trades happening in Major League Baseball today and late last night. We here at Deadspin have talked about a few of them already, but it seems like every half hour another impactful trade happens — so we’re rounding up all of the most...
As trade deadline approaches... Let's make some deals!
The MLB trade deadline is this Friday, July 30 at 4 p.m. EST. Already we’ve seen big names like All-Stars Nelson Cruz and Adam Frazier get moved to contenders within the last week. There will certainly be several more moves before the deadline. Currently, there are 18 teams either in position to mak...
The Twins did this to themselves
As the Twins pick through the wreckage of their season, it’ll be easy to figure out where it all went wrong. Counting on Byron Buxton to stay upright more than seven minutes, and a bullpen that is the new music video for Prodigy’s “Firestarter.” (I realize both Prodigy and music videos as a whole ar...
