Chris Sale Plunks Victor Martinez, Sparks Bench-Clearing Conversation
White Sox pitcher Chris Sale hit Victor Martinez in the sixth inning of today's game, causing both benches and bullpens to clear, though no one actually did anything. Why did Sale tag Martinez? The current best theory: Sale thought Martinez was stealing signs with the help of someone in the bullpen....
Chris Sale Does Not Have Bones In His Body, Defies Physics
Chicago White Sox ace Chris Sale is, on a per-inning basis, currently pitching more or less the way Sandy Koufax did in his prime.

Rays' Kevin Kiermaier Turns Normal Fly Ball Into Terrific Highlight
Yes, Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier screwed up his read on this fly ball in today's game against the Red Sox, but he compensated for it with a twisting, falling, over-his-head catch for the final out of the sixth. We're better for it. Thanks, Kevin....
Jesus Montero Heckled By Scout, Throws Ice Cream Sandwich At Him
Jesus Montero was a can't-miss catching prospect who appears to be missing, badly, and an incident last night during a minor league rehab appearance in which he tried to fight a scout who had been heckling him is probably not going to speed his trip back to the majors.
