It’s probably OK to steal Trevor Bauer’s signs
The subplots and nuances of the burgeoning Padres-Dodgers hot war are developing at a rate that’s hard to stay on top of. Perhaps that’s with the greater focus on these games and the race between the two (though the Giants are currently splitting them) because they’re two of the only four teams doin...
MLB Film Room allows you to choose your own video compilation adventure
If you like sports and watching videos online, YouTube’s algorithm becomes a self-fulfilling goldmine of clips. Watch enough highlights, and your front page fills up with stuff like “NFL Most Yards Lost in One Play,” “MLB 1 in a Billion Moments,” and “Legendary Fake Plays.” A whole bunch of accounts...
Shane Bieber is on one again
That’s probably not fair, as Shane Bieber isn’t really doing anything he didn’t do last year. We just didn’t notice all that much because it was a 60-game season in the middle of a pandemic and most of it happened in Cleveland....
SEE IT: Bryce Harper tries to tell attention-seeking ass how to pronounce the tilde in Acuña
It’s early in the baseball season, but it’s going to be hard to top what happened in Atlanta on Friday night for the major leagues’ self-own of the year. Of course, that’s what we all thought on Thursday night, when the news emerged of Trevor Bauer having his sticky balls inspected....
Drink in the Trevor Bauer tears
In some ways, it felt like MLB set up their new “inspection of baseballs” rules specifically for Trevor Bauer. He’s the one who openly bitched about the Houston Astros pitchers and their increased spin rate. He’s the one who demonstrated, in Houston, what foreign substances could do. He’s the one wh...

Every scuff you take, every smudge you make, MLB will be watching you
It’s been the dirty little secret in baseball for years. Pitchers were doing something to baseballs to increase spin, which either helped with velocity or movement or both. This has been a factor in the far bigger problem than shifts for baseball, i.e. the inability for anyone to make regular contac...
Scott Servais channels humanity, tells idiotic Trevor Bauer where he can stick it
We’ve said plenty here about Trevor Bauer, mostly about him being a colossal jerk, so “Trevor Bauer is a colossal jerk” isn’t news, especially around these parts....
Everybody loves to crawl up Trevor Bauer’s ass with him
There’s a memorable scene in Eight Men Out (a great baseball movie, with John Cusack before he became insufferable, and The One True Chicagoan Studs Terkel. Though John Mahoney, also in the film, would have taken that title if Studs weren’t around). Anyway, there’s a scene where Shoeless Joe Jackson...
Breaking News: Trevor Bauer is still an ass

Well, if you had “one week” in your “When Will That Be Proven As Utter Horseshit” pool, please collect your winnings at the windo...

Trevor Bauer’s inability to not be a jerk could cost him; Laine traded for Dubois
Trevor Bauer remains unsigned, and Ken Rosenthal reported on the Mets’ interest in the Cy Young winner on Friday night, including Bauer putting some spin on a big reason that a New York team would be reluctant to sign him, namely his own description of himself as being “good at two things in this wo...

Who are the teams with the longest MVP and Cy Young droughts?
