ST. PETERSBURG -- Bryce Miller finished strong in the series finale, an encouraging sign for a Mariners pitching staff that's reached the stage of the season when workloads on its young arms are coming much more into play. But by the time that the rookie settled in, Seattle was already in a five-run deficit, which was too tall to overcome in a 6-3…

Well, here we go. Get ready for the most chaotic, stressful, and exhilarating month (and a day) of baseball that anyone has ever experienced in the Pacific Northwest.

As we get deeper into August, the wildcard and divisional races tighten even more. In the National League, we see the Cubs and Brewers battling for the top spot in the NL Central.

The 32-year-old first-time All-Star hit the homer off Felix Bautista in the eighth inning, his first All-Star…

The Baltimore Orioles have one of the most talented young cores in baseball, and the returns this season have been fantastic. The Orioles head into tonight's matchup vs. the Kansas City Royals with a 38-24 record, and one of the catalysts of that is catcher Adley Rutschman. Rutschman is already a cornerstone of the Orioles lineup and comes into…

Chris Bassitt is back from paternity leave to face the Astros tonight, and there's arguably been no hotter hurler in baseball.

This past weekend, Pete Rose wrote a letter to the Commissioner of Baseball, asking for a dispensation that would end his suspension and allow him to be considered for election to the Hall of Fame. The letter was apologetic and contrite, characteristics for which Charlie Hustle is not known. Pete Rose loves baseball, and he played the game the…

The 2022 MLB season is over, and the Astros have been crowned World Series champions. Now, the only thing left to hand out is the hardware for the top players and managers. This year, the awards could carry some extra significance for a few players in particular. AL MVP finalist Aaron Judge and AL Cy Young finalist Justin Verlander are both free…

The weekend is over and it feels a little bit like a case of the Mondays this morning, at least for me. There are only seven games to consider on August 8, as more than half of the league enjoys a much-needed day off. It sure feels like we're getting a ton of inconsistent efforts from teams in the middle of the pack, which is unfortunate because…

From Opening Day to May 13, teams batted.235/.308/.375 with a.302 wOBA. From May 14 until now, teams…

ANAHEIM, Calif. - After each of the past two Los Angeles Angels losses, manager Phil Nevin has repeated the same line about his team's circumstances. "Everything's still in front of us." A message of optimism, but one that wouldn't be said unless the circumstances required a manufactured brighter outlook. Perhaps it's just a cliche. Perhaps it's a…
