There’s nothing more fun to watch in baseball than an old-fashioned standoff at the plate. When a batter and pitcher go toe-to-toe at each other and draw out a long at-bat, it gets everyone riding the edge of their seats. However, sometimes it’s just fun to see a pitcher completely overwhelm his opponent. That’s exactly […]

Although the Chicago Cubs (72-54) have played .500 baseball since the MLB All-Star break, their starting pitching rotation remains a strength.

[…]

The Los Angeles Angels may not be in the playoff hunt this August, but Jo Adell is giving fans something worth watching.

Boston Red Sox fans have become accustomed to watching bad baseball in August and September. They are also no strangers to having their intelligence insulted by management.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are no strangers to viral moments, but one fan stole the show Tuesday night in Denver with a creative tribute to two eras of Shohei Ohtani’s career.

For the third season in a row, the Detroit Tigers have recorded at least 75 wins in the always competitive AL Central, even if they didn’t secure this particular W in style. That’s right, while the Tigers have largely looked like legitimate contenders in 2025, their win over the Astros wasn’t one to write home […]

Because Bobby Witt Jr. is not in contention for the American League MVP award this season, it is easy to say he is having a down year.

Aaron Judge is in the middle of yet another MVP-caliber season for the New York Yankees. And it’s clear just how impactful he is when looking at the Yankees’ record since his return to the lineup. When he was on the injured list, it seemed as though the Yankees couldn’t find the light at the […]

The Philadelphia Phillies continued their strong August push with a 6-4 win over the Seattle Mariners Tuesday night, but not before slugger Kyle Schwarber found himself at the center of controversy.

After watching Teoscar Hernandez miss out on a pair of routine plays in the right field that effectively cost the Los Angeles Dodgers a win over the Colorado Rockies, fans in Chavez Ravine and beyond had one unifying demand: Mookie Betts needs to play right field stat.

The Atlanta Braves entered their matchup against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday without one of their stars. Austin Riley has not played since August 2 with an abdominal strain.

The New York Mets are one of the more star-studded teams in Major League Baseball. Players like Pete Alonso and Juan Soto lead the way, but shortstop Francisco Lindor is making team history, too.
