You know, in the superhero movies when the good guys finally get into the villain’s secret lair—expecting a one-v-one fight with him—only to be surprised by a reveal of a huge weapon? Like in The Batman when he catches The Riddler and then, surprise—The Riddler blows up a dam and floods Gotham—or surprise—the president is […]
As long as I live, I will never forget Aroldis Chapman smiling like the cheshire cat—after giving up a walk-off homer run to Jose Altuve to lose the ALCS. In case YOU forgot, here is one of the worst nights of my life: HOUSTON WALK OFF TO THE WORLD SERIES 😱 WOW (via @FOXSports)pic.twitter.com/1HTuVSRZHg — […]
Corruption is up double digits right now. And Texas just stole the ball again—throwing an oop to themselves off the backboard. The team up 50 now wants to change the rules to make sure they always stay up. Texas’s new proposed redistricting map—the redrawing of district boundaries—will guarantee Republicans 5 more congressional seats. You always […]
Breaking: The Yankees are acquiring 3B Ryan McMahon in a trade with the Rockies, sources confirmed to Jeff Passan. MLB Network was first to report the trade. [image or embed] — ESPN (@espn.com) July 25, 2025 at 1:56 PM Jazz Chisholm started the season at 3rd base but after some below-average defense and squeaky wheels, […]
On Wednesday night, the New York Yankees lost 8-4 to the Toronto Blue Jays thanks to their defense commiting 4 errors in 3 innings. Jasson Dominguez booted a ball in left field. Jazz Chisholm spiked a ball in the dirt in front of Ben Rice. Max Fried spiked a throw to home plate in the […]
When 23 year old Shohei Ohtani arrived in Major League Baseball in 2018, he was the 2nd best hitter on the team behind a still-healthy Mike Trout (who finished 2nd in MVP that season) and, in only 10 starts, proved he was one of the best pitchers on the team as well. He hit 22 […]
Monday night was the 2025 MLB Home Run Derby. Not the most star-studded event ever. Only 2 of the Top 10 home run hitters this season attended the derby (Cal Raleigh and James Wood). Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge and Bryce Harper were busy not destroying their swings in a contest that may or may not […]
I loved the 2018 Yankees. They led baseball in homers—Aaron Judge only hit 27 of them. Gleyber Torres and Gary Sanchez were future Hall of Famers. They had two potential decade-long first basemen in Greg Bird and Luke Voit. Giancarlo Stanton looked like the MVP they stole from Miami. Didi Gregorius was the next Jeter. […]
23-year rookie, Jacob Misiorowski, had to defend home court last night against Clayton Kershaw and the 56-win Los Angeles Dodgers. It didn’t start off great… Shohei Ohtani hits a leadoff homer off Jacob Misiorowski! pic.twitter.com/jX22CK4Xwq — MLB (@MLB) July 8, 2025 Shohei Ohtani hit a lead-off homer off the rook. It was Ohtani’s 31st […]
I love MLB All-Star weekend. Rogers Clemens throwing a bat at Mike Piazza. Josh Hamilton smashing 2 million baseballs into outer space with a syringe between his toes. Shit, I love this new rule MLB’s starting this season: if a the game ends in a tie, there’s no extra innings. It busts into a home […]
The Yankees started their 2025 campaign jumping pitchers and breaking home run records. They were an All-Star team beating the saliva out of a league not properly prepared for their little torpedo bats. On May 28th, the Yankees had a 7-game lead over the Toronto Blue Jays. The AL East belonged to them and everyone […]
Washington DC kind of sucks right now. A South African drug addict removed 60,000 federal jobs, so the unemployment rate is sky high over there. And the new people who work there are all MAGA sociopaths living in an alternate reality than the rest of us where they perceive America under constant threat of anyone […]
The Boston Red Sox haven’t finished a season above .500 since 2021. 4 years of mediocrity. I thought this Boston winning every championhip bullshit was over. They shot Big Papi. The Red Sox dark magic had been vanquished. Their team owner, John Henry, started winning championships and immediately used the additional revenue to purchase everything. […]
The Pittsburgh Pirates stink. They’re only mentioned as background characters in the life of Paul Skenes—the best pitcher in baseball. Skenes is only 4-6 in his 14 starts, thanks to the bad team around him. Pittsburgh is 29th in runs—ahead of only the Colorado Rockies—a team that, at this point, I have to believe is […]
In 2012, Wade Miley was The Prince Who Was Promised for the Arizona Diamondbacks. In a textbook definied “average” season, finishing 81-81, 25-year-old Wade Miley looked like the type of player a front office just pencils into their rotation for the next decade. Here’s what Miley did back in ’12: 16 wins 11 losses 194.2 […]
Welcome to Crying in Baseball, Deadseriousness’s weekly baseball column, where I cry and complain about all things Major League Baseball. This week, we’ve got Juan Soto’s sad return to The Bronx, an automatic strike zone that may not be so automatic and the return of Pete Rose. Juan Soto: The One Who Got Away […]
