White Sox Batter Attempts To Reach Base Using Novel Technique
Why the Chicago White Sox claimed Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Alen Hanson off waivers last week and then added him to their roster remains unclear. Hanson, 24, hit .205/.239/.261 in parts of two seasons in the National League; his minor-league record doesn’t suggest he has much to offer at the plat...

Andrew McCutchen<em></em> Tries To Score From Second On A Grounder To Short, Doesn't
Andrew McCutchen ended a sixth-inning rally when the Pirates outfielder found himself out by 40 feet to help the Mets retire the side. How’d this happen? By completely ignoring his third-base coach, it seems....
Arena Football Play So Bad, You'll Forget How Many Teams Are Left In Arena Football
You may have missed this news. There are only five teams remaining in the Arena Football League, and two of them didn’t exist until this season. With that kind of success, we’re shocked that a play full of such failure could be executed—if you can use that word—on the field, but here you are. One of...
Rougned Odor Fall Down Go Boom
The Rangers have just four hits and a single run against the hapless Blue Jays this afternoon, and an illustration of their offensive struggles can be seen in Rougned Odor’s sixth-inning at-bat—in which the Texas infielder swings so hard he falls down trying to get out of the batter’s box....

Here's A Shitty Way To Lose A Shutout
Clayton Kershaw, who is 7-2 with a 2.04 ERA and remains the best pitcher in the league, had his best start of the season last night. He pitched nine innings against the Cardinals, allowed three hits and just one run, and struck out 10 batters in just 104 pitches. It was a marvelous outing, and it en...

Goalie Momentarily Forgets Where He Is, Concedes Very Dumb Goal
Soccer is hard. There are so many other people on the field: teammates, referees, opponents, occasionally the odd dog. One can be forgiven for the occasional lapse. However, this howler from Ottawa Fury FC goalkeeper Callum Irving is a transcendent fuckup....
Another Kevin Kiermaier Misplay Leads To Another Little League Home Run
Last year, Kevin Kiermaier hit .246 with 12 homers—nothing stellar—but he won a Gold Glove for his second consecutive season and anchored the Tampa Bay Rays’ outfield defense. He has quite a hole to dig himself out of if he wants to repeat for 2017....
Let The Braves Show You How Not To Execute A Rundown
The Astros put the finishing touches on a two-game series sweep of the Atlanta Braves this afternoon, coming back and winning 4-2.
