    The Twins have a few guys who need to learn self-preservation. I'm surprised Royce Lewis isn't limping after he just "dove" with both knees directly into the turf while catching a bloop in shallow left... he left a large divot to be replaced. He's only been back for a few days after his second...

    Cleveland ends their week+ homerless streak with back-to-back home runs from Josh Naylor and Josh Bell, changing a deficit into a lead in Baltimore.

    Noah Song’s baseball fate still In limbo

    What should they do about it? The Phillies are doing nothing wrong and nothing a number of other teams haven't done over the years, except in this case, everyone knew going in that the guy wouldn't be conditioned to pitch a full season. They still have to carry him on the active MLB roster for...

    They've scored 5 runs in back-to-back games and 4 on Sunday... sadly, this feels like the best the lineup has hit in a long time.

    If Cleveland's starting rotation decision that needs to be made by the end of the weekend is based at all on merit, then Cal Quantrill has made his last start for a while... 7 earned runs in the first 2 innings.

    Marcelo Mayer, and his gorgeous hair, drafted by Sox / 4 Overall

    I don't think anyone has considered a full season of AAA to be a necessary part of the development process in at least 10-20 years. However, it actually seems to me that AAA is starting to become a prospect level again with fewer AAAA journeymen than there used to be. I might very well be wrong...

    What does 2023 look like?

    I absolutely hate the minor league schedule. Memorial Day and Labor Day were always big crowds every time I went and now when July 4th lands on a Monday, they'll have an entire season with no holiday games. I've usually gone to at least a couple of games by this point of the season, but I've...

    The only way I can see Cleveland trading Bieber during the season is if every last flicker of hope has been extinguished by the All-Star break. I do think he's 100% gone in the off-season though. With the way the Guardians and White Sox have played, the Twins should have already run away with...

    The second that MLBN pays attention to it, he gives up an opposite field bloop single to lead off the 7th.

    Logan Allen with the best start of his career so far... 7 shutout innings, 3 hits, 2 walks and his first 10 K game. The Guards might have an overflowing rotation in another week with the return of Triston McKenzie and Aaron Civale to add to Allen, Shane Bieber, Tanner Bibee and Cal Quantrill.

    2023 Guardians: The Hitless Blunders

    Fortunately, I missed the entire Guards game tonight... another great start from Bibee completely wasted. Even while splitting the first two games of the series against the Cards, they've scored in just 2 of 19 innings. Karinchak faced 3 batters and threw 4 strikes total while walking them all...

    2023 Guardians: The Hitless Blunders

    Three moves that need to be made immediately: (1) Release Cam Gallagher. Granted he's coming off a great week where he briefly doubled his batting average in the span of two days to a robust .106. Bo Naylor is already with the team as the 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader. Bo needs to know...

    Starling Marte comes in as a pinch-runner in this one (puts his sliding mitt on before stepping off first this time)... and he still gets picked off but the umpire blew the call and they don't overturn it on replay. I'm not sure how there was no view from the outfield side of first which should...

    Not exactly a base running clinic at Citi Field today... Josh Bell had your basic single to right field but for some reason thought he could make it a double... instead, he was thrown out by so much that he was tagged out trying to retreat to first. He was quickly outdone in the bottom of the...

    As if Cleveland's lineup doesn't suck enough all on its own, the Mets will be doing something today that's never happened in the history of baseball – starting both ends of a doubleheader with a 3-time Cy Young winner.

    2023 Guardians: The Hitless Blunders

    I'll get to bitching about the team sometime later, but I'm listening to the Clippers game and Triston McKenzie just put up a sharp 3-inning outing in his first rehab start – 2 hits and a walk that didn't result in any runs and he struck out 4. Aaron Civale looked really good in his first rehab...

    It's incredible how every ball hit on the ground against Clase this year makes it through the infield... but Karinchak just needs to go back to Columbus for a very long time. Bringing him into the game in that situation was the worst mistake Tito has made in years.
