It was the longest elimination game in major league history. Fifteen innings. But for the Mariners, it was fifteen innings and twenty-four years. That’s the last time Seattle made it to the Championship series. Getting there wasn’t easy. This is a franchise that’s known for one thing. Failure. It’s the […]
The Rangers have had some gut punches this year. They’ve had some pretty creative ways to lose. But the Phillies turned it up a notch last night, not only losing the game but knocking themselves out of the playoffs and into the offseason on a walk-off error by the pitcher […]
Any fan of baseball has to appreciate the way the Blue Jays play the game. It’s all about making contact. Eliminating the strikeout. Putting the ball in play and seeing what happens. It’s the opposite of the Rangers approach the past two seasons. And it helped them overcome a juggernaut […]
This is why you pay your stars. Aaron Judge is a one-man wrecking crew. He put the Yankees on his very broad shoulders and snatched victory out of the jaws of defeat. Down two games to none and down 6-1 in Game 3, the Yankees came storming back on the […]
Milwaukee gave up a three-run homer in the top of the first. So, what do they do? They hit their own three-run homer in the bottom of the first. This is from a team that doesn’t use the home run ball to win games. They won the most games of […]
Watching Toronto destroy the Yankees that last two days, while satisfying, was also a bit depressing. It really highlighted just how far away from being good the Rangers offense was in 2025. The Blue Jay make contact, they rarely strike out. In fact, during the first two games of their […]
Can anyone stop the Dodgers? Remember in the offseason when they bought every single free agent, some they didn’t even need? They just bought them so nobody else could. They amassed this super team. They went out and started the season 8-0 and were never going to lose. There were […]
To the surprise of absolutely nobody, the Rangers named Skip Shumaker their next manager, replacing Bruce Bochy. It’s difficult replacing a legend. Just ask every third baseman the Rangers have run out since Adrian Beltre. But at least Shumaker has managerial experience. Before Chris Young came on board, the Rangers […]
You have to hand to Detroit. After authoring the biggest collapse in major league history, blowing a fifteen-and-a-half-game lead over Cleveland in the A.L. Central, they faced those same Guardians, and knocked them out of the playoffs. Their offense finally got mad, finally showed their embarrassment and humiliation, and finally […]
Three of the four wildcard series are going to an elimination game. Detroit and Cleveland. Boston and New York. San Diego and Chicago. In the fourth wildcard series, Los Angeles knocked out Cincinnati in two games and will move on to face Philadelphia. It will be a great day of […]
