The exodus continues. Since this disappointing season ended, the Rangers have lost a future Hall of Fame manager in Bruce Bochy, a future Hall of Fame pitching coach in Mike Maddux, and three more coaches. Beloved third base coach Tony Beasley is not returning to the Rangers. Neither is hitting […]
That was special. That was as good as sports get. Baseball is glorious, and Game 7 punctuated how wonderful baseball can be. In the end, the Dodgers just couldn’t lose. They were outhit, outscored, out pitched, and out defended, but someone snuck past the Blue Jays in a classic Game […]
There will be a Game 7 tonight. And while that is glorious because of the drama and gut churning on every pitch for fans of both teams, for fans of the Rangers, all we have gotten so far this offseason is punched in the gut. First, the Rangers Hall of […]
This World Series seems to have a lot of storylines. Addison Barger becoming the first player to hit a pinch-hit grand slam in Game 1. Yoshinobu Yamamoto throwing a complete game, his second in a row in the playoffs, in Game 2. Game 3 was an eighteen-inning nailbiter, with Shohei […]
News flash. Shohei Ohtani is human. Read all about it. After getting on base a ridiculous nine times in Game 3, with two doubles, two home runs (including the game-tying homer in the seventh), and five walks, the three-time (and soon to be four) MVP took the mound, to follow […]
Well, so much for the narrative that the Dodgers bullpen cannot be trusted. In last night’s eighteen inning classic, the much maligned bullpen pitched an eleven-inning shutout. After Toronto scored its fifth run in the seventh inning to take a 5-4 lead, it never scored again. It really never threatened […]
After a day of travel, the World Series resumes with Game 3 tonight in Los Angeles. Forty-year-old Max Scherzer will get the start for Toronto against Los Angeles’s Tyler Glasnow. On paper, this one favors the Dodgers. Scherzer made seventeen starts this year, winning five, losing five, with a 5.19 […]
Well, the Dodgers aren’t invincible after all. The starting pitcher that flattened the Brewers ran into a Blue Jays team that isn’t going to go down so easy. L.A. allowed just four runs in four games against Milwaukee, as if they were playing the hapless Rangers. But Toronto has actual […]
All the talk of baseball dying is just nonsense. In 2025, Major League Baseball enjoyed a third consecutive year of increased attendance, with 71,409,421 fans attending a game this year. Last year, they hit the seventy million mark. It could have been higher had Tampa Bay and Sacramento played in […]
The wait for the World Series to start is agonizing. There’s nothing more mind-numbing than endless predictions and talking heads blathering on about who will do what. Just play the game. Game 1 is tomorrow night in Toronto. It can’t get here soon enough. Most people are expecting the Dodgers […]
