Kyle Schwarber Is On The Cubs' World Series Roster
Cubs slugger Kyle Schwarber hasn’t seen major-league game action since tearing two knee ligaments during the second game of the season. He was finally cleared to return to the field last week, and on Saturday he joined the Mesa Solar Sox in the Arizona Fall League. Schwarber got six at-bats in two g...
The Cleveland Indians Are Headed To The World Series
The Cleveland Indians will be back in the World Series for the first time since 1997, after they made quick work of the Blue Jays and won a fairly rote ALCS, 4-1. They won Game 5 in the same way they won most of their games this postseason: they slapped a few dongers, then Andrew Miller stifled the ...
Aspire To Have As Much Conviction As This Little League Catcher
On Sunday, the Little League team from Maine-Endwell, N.Y. beat the team from Seoul, South Korea, 2-1, in the championship game. More importantly, South Korea’s catcher Jungseo Cho set a new gold standard in commitment to pitch framing....

Coastal Carolina's College World Series Title Was As Thrilling As It Was Unlikely
Until this afternoon, Coastal Carolina had never won a national championship in a team sport, the Big South Conference had never had a national champion, and no College World Series participant had won the title in their first appearance in the finals in 60 years. The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers m...

Nearly Twice As Many People As Live In Kansas City Attended The Royals' Parade
Kansas City mayor Sly James estimated that 800,000 people turned out to watch the Royals’ championship parade (at least one police sergeant thought it was higher), which is even more impressive when you realize that Kansas City’s population is just 470,000. But while it’s one thing to hear a number ...
Jonny Gomes Gives Obnoxious, Wonderful Victory Speech At Royals' World Series Parade
Jonny Gomes didn’t have a single plate appearance in the Royals’ postseason run, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t preen and shout at the team’s World Series parade today. Give him a hell yeah, brother....
Curt Schilling Is Just Going To Pretend He Didn't Say That Thing He Said
Sporadic baseball analyst Curt Schilling tuned in to Game 5 of the World Series last night, and he was really in favor of keeping Mets starter Matt Harvey in for the whole game, until he wasn’t. The progression of tweets is a fun ride....
The Royals Won By Betting On The Mets To Botch The Job
I felt a little insane listening to the Fox booth lavish praise on the Royals for Eric Hosmer’s dash home to score the tying run on Lucas Duda’s bad throw. “Brilliant baserunning?” Did they see that throw? If Duda doesn’t peg a beer vendor, Hosmer is out and the game is over. ...

Terry Collins Made The Right Call On Matt Harvey And Still Screwed Up
It was a Mets season that began with, and briefly threatened to founder upon, questions of how many innings Matt Harvey would be allowed to throw, and for how many innings he’d be able to be effective. In the end, Harvey threw 216 innings—the most ever for a pitcher coming off of Tommy John surgery—...
Royals Toy With Mets Like A Cat With A Mouse, Kill Them, Win Series
With the Mets up 2-0 in the bottom of the eighth, manager Terry Collins and ace Matt Harvey argued about whether Harvey would pitch the ninth. He’d pitched a four-hit shutout up to that point, on 102 pitches, a high but not unreasonable number. Of course, the health of Harvey, who underwent Tommy Jo...
Daniel Murphy Blew It, But He Wasn't The Only One
The Mets had a great chance to tie the World Series up last night, taking a 3-2 lead into the eighth inning, only five outs away from the win. With runners on first and second, Eric Hosmer hit a manageable grounder to Daniel Murphy at second base. Instead of making the double play to end the inning ...
