Last night's Dodgers/Rockies game had some interesting twists and turns. Leading 7-6, Saito took the ball for the Dodgers to tie up the win, but walked the first runner and allowed a hit up the third base line. Watching on MLB.TV, I noticed Garciaparra hold up and go lame. Uh oh. Sure enough, he walked off … Read more »

What a great day of baseball! The biggest story of the day was the release of Frank Thomas by the Blue Jays. Thomas was informed yesterday of reduced playing time due to his recent slump. However, Thomas has started the past two years in a similar weak fashion, but managed to turn it around and put up great numbers … Read more »

I'm watching the Diamondbacks/Nationals game on MLB.TV right now. Every couple of innings, the Diamondback announcers gush over the ProTrade Win Probability stats for the game that have showed a large lead for the Diamondbacks. In the 5th inning, the probability of a win for Arizona was 94%. By the 7th inning, that probability had reached 95%. In … Read more »

I recently wrote about how I prefer the radio announcers on Gameday Audio to the MLB.TV announcers. Well, I got a treat today! I just watched Jake Peavy and the Padres win 10-0 over the Diamondbacks on MLB.TV, and was thrilled that they were using Jerry Coleman's radio broadcast for the audio! Oh Doctor! Do they … Read more »

There's mention of a Blue Jays fire sale over at MLB Trade Rumors. Sure, the Jays have been slumping but it's barely May and there's talk of a major reload? Whatever goes down, I just hope J.P. doesn't part with Alex or Adam. Rios just opened the Jays half of the first inning against the Red Sox with … Read more »

Ryan Church just hit a 3-run homer that ignited the Nationals and brought them to within two runs of the Marlins. It's appropriate that Church hit the first long ball of the season for Washington–he's got something to prove. Church has been on the verge of a breakout year for too many consecutive seasons now. My feeling … Read more »

This Padres - Dodgers series has been amazing, but I'm not sure there's been a more spectacular inning than the bottom of the 9th tonight! The Padres were leading 9-5 going to the bottom frame, and the Dodgers just hit 4 consecutive home runs in a row, two off Trevor Hoffman. Unbelievable! Pandemonium at Dodger Stadium! We're going to extra … Read more »
