A number of years ago, a guy at work decided to gift his 16-year-old idiot son a BMW for his birthday. I thought that was a really really bad idea. But he gave him the gift anyway. Within minutes, the idiot kid wrapped the car around a pole. For some […]
Overall, Dane Dunning had a good outing. He pitched 6.2 innings, striking out seven, giving up only four hits and three walks. But it was his third-inning temporary wildness that did him in. After striking out Jeremy Peña, he walked Jake Myers, then walked Jose Altuve. Home plate umpire Scott […]
Josh Sborz walked off the field last night with two outs and two strikes on Jose Altuve under his belt. He felt something in his shoulder and he left the game. Yesterday was a harsh day for pitchers. The Cleveland Guardians announced their ace righthander Shane Bieber will need to […]
A MESSAGE FROM THE OFFICER OF THE COMMISSIONER OF MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL In a surprise move, Texas Rangers right fielder Adolis Garcia announced he is heading a group of investors who have purchased a 100 percent ownership interest in the Houston Astros. “Owning the Astros is something that I started […]

Sometimes a starting pitchers earns the loss. Sometimes, a loss is just dropped on them. Last night, it was dropped. In the form of a popup and an ineffective bullpen. Down 1-0 in the bottom of the fifth, Andrew Heaney wasn’t exactly cruising—he was inefficient with his pitches—but he was […]
Some players are just cursed with bad luck. Josh Jung was the Wyatt Langford before there was a Wyatt Langford. Drafted in 2019, he was the can’t-miss prospect, the future of the Rangers, the guy that needed to get to the major leagues as fast as possible. Would it be […]
Jose Leclerc has pitched in two of the first three games of the season. In both games he allowed the go-ahead run to score. Granted, in the first game of the season, he had an assist from Jonah Heim. But, Heim’s blunder would have never happened had Leclerc pitched like […]
Well, maybe Cody Bradford is ready to be in the rotation. One game does not make a season. Yet, had he been beaten up, there would have been calls for his banishment after just one game. But the twenty-six-year-old lefty wasn’t beaten up. On the contrary. After giving up a […]
