With just four days until the 2024 MLB Home Run Derby, we still don’t know two of the participants. Many of baseball’s biggest superstars won’t be partaking in the event. Elite power hitters such as Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani, and Yordan Alvarez have announced they won’t be in the derby but there is still plenty… read more

Just moments after perhaps the most depressing loss of the 2024 season at PNC Park on Sunday afternoon, two Pittsburgh Pirates found out they were named to the National League All-Star Team and will participate in the midsummer classic on July 16 in Arlington, Texas. Veteran outfielder Bryan Reynolds, who is currently batting .281 with… read more

Logan Allen hasn’t had the best year, but he usually does enough to help the Cleveland Guardians win. Allen didn’t even get the win on Saturday, but he struck out nine San Francisco Giants in less than five innings as Cleveland prevailed 5-4. The Giants surged back from a 4-0 deficit before the Cleveland bullpen… read more

The Pirates kicked off their Luau Weekend by kicking the stuffing out of the Mets by a score of 14-2 in the first of a four-game series at PNC Park on Friday night.

When bad baseball teams make mistakes, good teams make them pay. Chicago White Sox reliever Michael Kopech temporarily lost the ability to pitch, leading to a 7-6 win for the Cleveland Guardians last night. The score was tied 6-6 in the ninth inning and Andres Gimenez was on second base. Kopech delivered a VERY wild… read more

There is no secret that the Toronto Blue Jays have had quite a poor season thus far, and certainly one of the worst in recent memory. Furthermore, current faces of the franchise Vladimir Guererro Jr. and Bo Bichette have been on serious down years this season and talks of moving one if not both players… read more

If “classic Cleveland Guardians baseball” is a thing that exists, we saw it last night in Kansas City. Tanner Bibee (7-2) delivered six strong innings, and Jose Ramirez led the offense in a 7-2 victory over the Royals. Cleveland avoided its first four-game losing streak of the season and has a chance to even the… read more
