The baseball world was shocked when the Arizona Diamondbacks made an improbable run to the World Series last October.

It might be safe to say that few people will doubt the Milwaukee Brewers in the future given what they’ve done this season.

Outside out just a natural want to succeed, Toronto’s current roster construction points to at least one more season of […]

Pitchers are throwing harder than ever in today’s game. Los Angeles Angels hurler Ben Joyce even fired a 105.5 MPH fastball on Tuesday. However, throwing hard may not always be a good thing according to Atlanta Braves utility man Whit Merrifield. Merrifield was hit in the back of the head with a fastball during the […]

For a while, it seemed as though the Philadelphia Phillies were headed down the slippery slope that is a late-season choke job.

But they seemed to […]

Los Angeles Angels manager Ron Washington’s decision to intentionally walk Shohei Ohtani to face Mookie Betts in extra innings on Tuesday night did not go according to plan.
