The Roman Empire has Begun
It is official, the Red Sox and MLB’s number one prospect, Roman Anthony, has made his long-awaited debut in the first game of a three-game set against the Rays. After being assigned to Worcester to begin the 2025 season, many knew that Roman Anthony would be banging down the door to the majors, with many… read more
Trade Deadline Candidate: Bo Bichette
With Detroit emerging as a serious World Series contender with question posed is who can help them solidify their legitimacy as the season progresses. The hot name that has been circulated is young Shortstop and 2-time All-star Bo Bichette of the Toronto Blue Jays. Bichette has had a nice bounce back season after an injury… read more
Ballpark Bets: Performance Doubles, Total Bases, and Home Runs
Max Fried 4+/Yankees win (-120) This one feels more on the safer side, but with value if you feel confident enough. Max Fried has been one of the top pitchers in the league, so punching out four shouldn’t be the issue and in what’s a very hitter friendly ballpark. The Yankees should get back on… read more
Terry Francona, Cincinnati Reds Win Ohio Cup from Cleveland Guardians
The Cincinnati Reds aren’t a great team on paper, but manager Terry Francona has led them to a winning record. Francona often did that during his decade as the Cleveland manager, and he returned to Progressive Field last night in the Reds dugout. Cincinnati won 7-4 to clinch a victory in the Ohio Cup series…. read more
Carlos Narváez Shines in his Return to Yankee Stadium
Back in early December of last year, the Red Sox traded away their thirteenth-ranked prospect, Minor League right-handed pitcher Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz, and space in the international bonus pool to the Yankees in dire need of some catching depth, and got some from their rivals in twenty-six-year-old Carlos Narváez. Narvaez made his Major League debut for… read more

A Bonehead Ump TOSSED Nico Hoerner Yesterday
These umpires nowadays are out of control. I don’t know if it’s a lack of eye care in their contracts, or just a personal vendetta against humans who are way more athletically gifted than them; but these folks behind the plate have been having a TOUGH TIME getting calls right this season. They have been… read more
Ballpark Bets: Wins, Total Bases, Dinger of the Day
Cubs Money line (+109) This one is lofty, but I’m riding the trend. The Phillies have the most favorable matchup in regards to pitching. Zack Wheeler is an ace and Matthew Boyd (while very good this season), isn’t Wheeler. However, the Phillies have been playing a bad brand of baseball. They’ve been out scored 28-9… read more
Big, Beautiful Bunt Leads Cleveland Guardians to Victory
Laying down the perfect bunt is a lost art in baseball today. Many ballplayers are content to swing for the fences, even if they end up striking out a lot. Cleveland’s Will Wilson came to the plate in the seventh inning with a 2-2 tie, no outs, and runners at first and second. Wilson had… read more
