ESPN is the self-proclaimed ‘leader of sports’ that has found itself in the news every day this week as their employees take turns being racist as hell. This week, it’s Stephen A. Smith’s turn to spread xenophobia. Stephen A. Smith on Shohei Ohtani: “I don’t think it helps that the number one face is a […]
Trevor Bauer has been a massive asshole for years. He harassed a teenage girl on Twitter because the girl was an Alex Bregman fan or whatever. He had an interview where he gave his ‘rules of dating‘ that included: 1. no feelings 2. no social media posts because everything needs to be private and 3. […]
Last season, Buster Posey took the year off due to the whole global pandemic thing that baseball did not handle well at all. In 2019, Posey had clearly declined and was no longer in the discussion as one of the best catchers in baseball. At age 34 and in his 11th season of major league […]
On Wednesday night, the Arizona Diamondbacks lost 7-13 to the San Francisco Giants marking their 22nd consecutive road loss. That ties an MLB record with the 1943 Philadelphia Athletics and 1963 New York Mets. Baseball was played in suits and ties back then. The Diamondbacks have not won a road game since April 25th. It […]
Last week, the New York Yankees designated first baseman, Mike Ford, for assignment after a pretty abysmal season batting .133. That’s 8 hits in 60 at-bats. That level of production will get you designated for assignment 11 times out of 10. But there’s bad news: he’s being traded to the Devil Rays. Earlier today, the […]
Barry Bonds is the greatest player to ever pick up a baseball bat. I don’t want to hear about steroids or whatever. A lot of guys juiced up and none of them have Bonds’s home run numbers. No one comes close to his walk numbers. The goat. 762 homers, 1,996 RBI, .298 batting average, 2,935 […]
As I write this, the Yankees currently sit in 3rd place in the AL East. They’re 4.5 games behind the Tampa Bay Devil Rays which is incredibly close to first place considering the Yankees have no idea how to hit baseballs anymore. New York ranks 26th in batting average (.227), 25th in runs scored (207) […]
Los Angeles Angels (of Anaheim) pitching coach, Mickey Calloway, has been exiled from Major League Baseball until after the 2022 season following an investigation into a report from earlier this year that detailed 5 separate accounts of Calloway being a creepy little sex pest. In recent years we’ve learned how gross a lot of men […]
On Tuesday night, Vladimir Guerrero Jr went 2-for-4 with a walk and a homer in the Blue Jays 6-2 victory over the New York Yankees snapping Toronto’s 6-game losing streak. The home run put Vlad in sole custody of the Major League home run lead with 16 on the season. HE’S DONE IT AGAIN 🚀 […]
Sportsmanship among professional athletes who get paid millions of dollars based on their end-of-season stat sheets should be abolished. Players are there to clock in, do their best to perform, clock out. Caring about the feelings of your opponents isn’t a job requirement. Chicago White Sox geriatric manager, Tony La Russa, believes that you must […]
On Monday night, Shohei Ohtani hit his major league-leading 13th homer on a pitch that was 4 miles off the plate yet somehow was punched into the parking lot. You simply cannot stop Shohei Ohtani. Unreal. (via @BallySportWest)pic.twitter.com/jTTCU3soS5 — Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) May 18, 2021 Ohtani leads the majors in homers and he’s 4th with […]
Bad news, this link is no longer available (long story but I’m just as annoyed as you are). Here are a few related links while I have your attention: Pretending To Care About The Cleveland Guardians Name Change To Own The Libs or Whatever 5 MLB Teams That Are Going To Be Way […]
