Eloy Jiménez Blammo'd This Baseball Out Of Existence
In the top of the second inning of today’s game between the White Sox and Royals, White Sox outfielder Eloy Jiménez latched onto a hanging curveball at the top of the zone. It didn’t even look like he put that hard of a swing on the ball, but then it just... kept... going... and going:...
Umpire Mike Everitt Leaves Game After Taking 95-MPH Fastball To The Chest
Umpire Mike Everitt was working home plate in the bottom of the third inning of Tuesday night’s White Sox-Nationals game when a 95-mph fastball from Reynaldo López somehow missed both Trea Turner’s bat and catcher James McCann’s glove and smashed directly into his breast pocket, obliterating the pen...
Royals-White Sox Beef Gains New Life As Pitcher Tossed For Hitting Tim Anderson In The Head
The beef between White Sox shortstop and good bat-flipper Tim Anderson and the Kansas City Royals reared its ugly head again Wednesday night, when Anderson was plunked in the helmet in the second inning by Royals starter Glenn Sparkman. In an effort to get out ahead of any escalating hostility, home...
We've A New Contender For The Title Of Worst Ceremonial First Pitch Of All Time
The look on the face White Sox pitcher Evan Marshall, doing the catching for the ceremonial first pitch ahead of Tuesday night’s Royals-White Sox game, tells you something. That is not the expression of a man who has a lot of confidence in the person doing the hurling. That expression says this may ...
Dustin Pedroia Has Officially Entered Pre-Retirement Limbo
Dividing baseball players up into types used to be easy—you had your goatee guys and your non-goatee guys. But in this age of increasing specialization and aesthetic proliferation, that work has become more difficult. You’ve got your Beardo Hunter Guys, your Orange County Tattoo Dudes, a whole grim ...
White Sox Turn Ho-Hum, Unsatisfying Triple Play
You’d think anything as rare and unlikely as a triple play would include plenty of thrills and chills, possibly one or two spills, even the odd Phil. Back in August the Rangers turned a triple play that could be described as “pretty cool.” Last April the Mariners turned one on a brain goof that a pe...
Marcus Stroman And The Red Sox Had Themselves A Little Squabble
What happened between Blue Jays pitcher Marcus Stroman and the Red Sox in Tuesday’s game doesn’t rise to the level of a feud or beef. It could better be described as a tiff, or perhaps a bunfight....
It's Impossible To Oversell How Dumb This Adam Eaton–Todd Frazier Beef Has Gotten
The 2016 White Sox were historically blighted. That was the team where Chris Sale was suspended for insubordination after literally cutting up throwback uniforms during batting practice before a start so he wouldn’t have to wear one. That was the team that nearly underwent a mutiny and then a counte...
Rockies Strike Out 24 Times, Still Manage To Beat Red Sox
Tuesday night the Colorado Rockies became the third team since 1908 to strike out at least 24 times in a major league game and also win. They did it by beating the Boston Red Sox in extra innings, 5–4, on a game-winning RBI single from Mark Reynolds, who knows a thing or two about striking out a lot...
It Is Probably Not The White Sox's Year
Let’s check in on the Chicago White Sox:...
Jackie Bradley Jr.'s Latest Insane Feat Is Robbing A Walk-Off Dong
Wednesday’s Red Sox-Orioles game was much more eventful than you might expect from a game featuring a Red Sox team climbing back from a rotten start and, well, the Orioles, who are trash. Chris Sale took a no-hitter into the sixth inning; later, after losing the no-no, Sale took out his frustration ...
Orioles Fan Experiences Embarrassment, Elation, Denial, And Resignation After Interfering With Live Ball
In the bottom of the first inning of Monday’s Red Sox-Orioles game, Jonathan Villar lifted a long fly ball to left field, where J.D. Martinez tracked it to the wall. The wall seemed to sneak up on Martinez a little bit, and he was unable to make the catch, with the ball dropping and Villar racing to...
A Whole Bunch Of Red Sox Will Skip Visiting Donald Trump At The White House
The Red Sox wrap up a road trip in Baltimore this week, but won’t all be heading back to Boston together. The team is running two separate charter flights, one going home on Wednesday, after the final game of the series, and one on Thursday, an off-day. The second is to accommodate the players, coac...
White Sox Make Circus Out Of Red Sox Baserunning Error
Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers was almost tagged out while returning to first after a wide turn screwed up his attempt at turning his hit to deep left field into a double. Lucky for him, White Sox first baseman José Abreu was unable to make the catch and let the ball get by him, making Devers w...
Lucky Bounce Puts Michael Chavis On Base; Unlucky Bounce Gets Him Out At The Plate
Red Sox rookie Michael Chavis really went through it in the second inning of Boston’s 7-3 win today over the Oakland A’s. The second baseman knocked a grounder straight up the middle to Chad Pinder that would’ve been an easy double play if it hadn’t bounced off second base and into the outfield. Ins...
The White Sox Stopped Screwing Up Long Enough To Let Tim Anderson Be The Bat-Flipping Hero
After getting suspended one game for calling a white guy the n-word, Tim Anderson told reporters that the punishment was not going to affect him because he won’t change for anybody. It should come as no surprise, then, that the shortstop celebrated his walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth on Fr...
Report: MLB Suspends Tim Anderson One Game For Calling Honky The N-Word
The Royals and White Sox had a brief scuffle Wednesday after Royals pitcher Brad Keller hit White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson in the tush with a pitch in bottom of the sixth inning. The plunking was obvious retaliation for Anderson’s jubilant reaction to a home run he had hit two innings prior, and s...
Benches Clear After Royals Plunk Tim Anderson On The Ass For Enjoying His Homer
A batter took a baseball to the ass, the benches cleared, and both managers got in each other’s faces in today’s Royals-White Sox game, all because a pitcher was irritated that the batter celebrated his sweet home run....
Chris Sale Is Messed Up Right Now
A fun way for a runner on third to give the middle finger to a pitcher without drawing a fine or suspension is to just straight-up steal home, when the ball’s in the pitcher’s hand. “I am not afraid of you,” the thief says. “I will make an extremely dumb choice and come away unscathed, because you w...
