    James Paxton walked 8 batters in 5 innings tonight and somehow only gave up 3 runs (2 scored after he was relieved by Ryan Brasier).

    They're finally taking Nola out after 7 runs on 12 hits in 4 1/3 innings. Well, I guess he ate some innings for them...

    Dylan Cease traded to Padres

    Yeah, I was going to say, he had a really rough rookie season in 2022 when expectations for him were sky high, but he improved a lot in 2023, particularly as the season went on. Put up 3.4 WAR, showed speed and some power, and he's still only 23. Needs to improve his on-base skills, but looks...

    Rest in Peace, DaveRoberts'Shoes

    Seeing this thread on the main board yesterday afternoon hit me like a brick, and I'm still shaken 24 hours later. Life is precious. I didn't know him or even interact with him here, and yet I still *felt* like I knew him. He was the rare combination of tremendous intelligence and a down to...

    Divisional Round Weekend

    Happy for the Lions fans, but if they hadn’t won they would have been just fine reminiscing about Jim Northrup’s triple off of Bob Gibson in game 7 to win the ‘68 World Series. We’re still doing this, right?

    Not our Star Blazer: Yamamoto signs with the Dodgers for $325 million, 12 years

    That's exactly what John Henry and the Sox did back in 2008 after returning from their meeting in Dallas with Mark Teixeira when they realized they were just being used by Teixeira and Boras to get the Yanks' offer up: edit: with that said, I don't think that necessarily tells us anything...
