During this frigid stretch for the Seattle Mariners (48-41), which has seen them drop 10 of their last 14 games, eyes have been fixed on the equally cold Julio Rodriguez. The two-time All-Star and Silver Slugger is batting just .244 with a ghastly .296 on-base percentage, .336 slugging percentage and .632 OPS, but he and […]

If the season ended today, the Seattle Mariners would win the AL West and make their second postseason in three years.

There are a lot of factors that come into play regarding a batter’s comfort in the box.

Kids, don’t try this at home. During Wednesday’s Texas Rangers-San Diego Padres game, the broadcast caught a fan trying to secure a foul ball behind the third-base dugout.

Judge is currently […]

There is something at Dodger Stadium that transforms Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker into a powerful dude.
