Middle Of The Order

The Miami Marlins have gone from 10 games above .500 and 3GB of the NL East lead, to 2 games under .500 and 10.5GB of the NL East. That's what happens when you lose 12 in a row. The Nationals and Red Sox make somewhat of a head scratching trade depending on who you are as we are just 1 week away from the trade deadline 

Boston's impressive win streak is finished at 15 tying a franchise record. They turned their season upside down but just because the win streak is over, doesn't mean they can step off the gas. And speaking of streaks, the Miami Marlins find themselves on the other end of one losing 9 in a row, they need to start turning things around before this season slips away from them. Nolan Arenado gets his flowers after his 2,000th career hit 

As the 2nd half of the season gets underway, 2 teams in the AL East are trying to turn their seasons around with big winning streaks. Boston have won 13 straight while the Orioles have won 7. We also have an extension and a trade in today's episode as we are just 2 short weeks away from the trade deadline

The second half kicks off now with the All-Star break in the rearview. And with the 2nd half, comes the trade deadline. The next 3 weeks could decide you favorite teams fate for the rest of the season if the baseball gods haven't already decided it for them yet. 

The first half is officially over and it finished with plenty of sweeps. Lots of news in todays episode including the 2026 Draft, an extension, a trade, and some more records and fun history. Now we enjoy the All-Star break before the season really turns up ahead of the trade deadline.  

One more series before the All-Star break and there is still time for your team to start turning things around especially if you are in the AL. Tigers and Red Sox are starting to look like the teams we thought they could be, but do they have enough time before the trade deadline? And speaking of time, it is running out on Justin Verlander who says this year is his last. 

The All-Stars are officially revealed. All the starters, pitchers and reserves. We also have to go over the June players of the month and some of the players really turned their seasons around with a great month. 

Over the half way point in the season as the calendar has hit a new month. July. And with July comes the MLB Draft, All-Star break, and the next thing you know, it'll be the start of August and the trade deadline. Time is running out for teams to turn their season around. Still plenty of time though. Just look at the Rays and Yankees, and this week which has seen a 7.5 game swing as the Rays have won 8 straight and counting while the Yankees have lost 7 and counting. This, plus a bench clearing brawl, a crazy player and so much more to start the month of July in this episode

As we end the month of June, we have an unexpected short episode to go over the weekend series and see how the standings are shaping heading into July. With over half the season behind us and the deadline looming, time is running out on some teams

Wow, we have quite the episode to go over just before the calendar hits July. The Mets are a dead team walking, and have fired their manager after a horrid week vs the Cubs. Meanwhile the Phillies did something that no team has ever done in MLB history before. We've got a trade, new CBA proposals, plenty of milestones as well as the conclusion of Phase 1 voting for the All-Star game

First Pete Crow-Armstrong and now Bryce Harper getting the 2nd cycle of the year in just a 5 day span. That might just be as unreal as Kyle Schwarber and what he was able to do in just a single inning this weekend. Among the news this weekend, we also got to look at the Pirates and their recent ability or should I say inability to win on the days Paul Skenes starts 

A news filled episode going over the current votes for the All-Star game starters is among that news. And speaking of the All-Star game, the home run derby will have a new but old refreshed rule set for this year and beyond. We had a cycle, a 300th career home run, a suspension, a trade and more to discuss

There was really only thing I wanted to talk about from this weekend. JACOB MISIOROWSKI. He's been so great in his last few starts, but the one from this weekend is up there for one of the best I've ever seen. So close to perfection. But we also give a shout out to Vegas as the Athletics played their last 6 games there and put up some insane numbers

A milestone filled week thanks to Max Scherzer and Freddie Freeman. Some great games around the league with plenty of rookies hitting their first career MLB home runs. We also have an update on Tarik Skubal and in the AL Central, there is a new team that stands alone in first place for the first time since early 2022. THE CHICAGO WHITE SOX

Pretty calm weekend overall, however we are getting closer to the half way point in the season, and it may already be time to start calling some teams dead. For the Tigers, there maybe hope around the corner with Tarik Skubal, but what if he's traded? D-Backs also went out to get Kepler while he finishes his PED suspension 

That time of the month to go over the best of the best for the month of May and 2 NL pitchers really stand out when you look at it. One of which being Cristopher Sanchez who is all over this episode including his scoreless inning streak which happened to end during his most recent start. We also look at 2 teams in trending directions

New month time. As we start June, we are getting more into the middle of the baseball season. May ended in a bang however with plenty of walk off winners including 4 home runs in a single day. We also look at some of the negatives including Abner Uribe, the Detroit Tigers as well as some really shitty fans 

We have a full episode to wrap up the month of May. We got a combined no-hitter and NL pitchers who have absolute shoved this month. You have the Cubs ending their 10 game losing streak and the MLB and MLB Players Association both giving their first proposals as they work for a new CBA and so much more to discuss in today's episode

A we reach the end of May, one team in particular is trying to get through this month and that team is the Cubs, started the month on a 10 game winning streak but since that ended, it's been little winning and now on a 8 game losing streak. Meanwhile Chris Taylor either retired or didn't and know one really knew but we know now. 

A big week of baseball with 5 four game sets and 5 sweeps. The Cardinals tarps off movement has started going around the league with fans hyping up their teams and its been working. Brewers and Cubs have swapped at the top of the NL Central and I give my 50 game mark team tier rankings in today's episode 

Another year, another rivalry weekend in MLB. And it led to some very good games and fun series. Kyle Schwarber became the first hitter to reach 20 home runs and is on pace to get over 70. Mariners are also calling up their No.1 prospect and MLB's No. 6 Colt Emerson and are hoping his input can help them start reaching their full potential 

As we reached the mid way point of May, the Braves became the first team to reach 30 wins this year, will this pace keep up for them or slow down eventually. Meanwhile Kevin Gausman joined 5 other active pitchers in the 2,000 strikeout club this week. Cal Raleigh also ended his hitless streak among other things in today's episode

Another episode, another unexpected passing, this time, legendary manager Bobby Cox passed away over the weekend. So in this episode we pay tribute to him, as well as taking a look at the Cubs who have had another 10 game winning streak. We also had our first kind of real trade of the season. Also some fun records and history to discuss in today's episode

A major episode today with lots of things to go over, starting with the Cubs who have once again been the hottest team in baseball and just finished a crazy 4 game set vs the Reds. We also have our first players of the month of the year. We also had an altercation in the Red Sox and Tigers game that has me wondering how the league is handling intentionally throwing at hitters this year compared to others. 

As we get into the month of May, some things are starting to stand out. Such as some impressive players, or teams such as the entire NL Central which still have all 5 teams above .500. Or how about Murakami and Montgomery, and how great they have been to start the year. A simple episode for today but we are only getting started in May

Another week, another manager fired. This time it was Rob Thomson of the Phillies. Will any other teams like the Mets follow suit? In more positive news, the Guardians are calling up the number 1 pick in the 2024 draft, Travis Bazzana as he joins an already stacked class of rookies this season

In the latest news of the 2026 Red Sox, everyone is gone... Well not exactly but might as well be as many different coach's including manager Alex Cora was fired by the team as they are looking to change the outlook of the team this year. Meanwhile Padres and D-backs played an exciting 2 games for the Mexico City series and the Braves become the first team to 20 wins

From one big NL East losing streak to another. The Phillies are picking up where the Mets left of after ending their streak at 12, the Phillies have there's at 9. Meanwhile there is a certain Japanese player who people were saying was going to strikeout a lot, and that he can't hit a fastball consistently that is tearing it up and setting plenty of records. All of that, Dodgers and Giants getting into it and more in today's episode

The New York Mets started 7-4. Since then it's been nothing but lose after lose after lose as their losing streak has reached 11 in a row, their longest since 2004. We also recognize the passing and great career of Garret Anderson in today's episode 

We just had the best week of the regular season so far. Filled with extras, walk offs, major comebacks, 1 run games, multi homer games, back and forth contests and more. We had a crazy battle in the Bronx between Mike Trout and Aaron Judge, as we learned that Mike Trout, as long as he stays healthy, can still be one of the best players in the league. We also had another young kid get a long term extension as that trend continues to happen. Padres have won 8 in a row and are still 1.5GB of the Dodgers. What more do they need to do 

Jordan Walker has been tearing it up here in the first 2 weeks of the season. But what exactly is behind this breakout for Walker and is it sustainable? Meanwhile teams like the Dodgers, Braves and Padres have been off to nice starts while other teams that were on their pace like the Yankees, Brewers, and Astros have cooled off big time

As the first month continues, we had fireworks already between Jorge Soler and Reynaldo Lopez. MLB also showed off all 8 new city connects this year. And why yes it still is early, there are a few teams in the AL that aren't off to the hottest starts and which is the most concerning. 

OH, Who lives in Pittsburgh at PNC Park. Konnor Griffin. Signed a 9 year deal for 140M. Konnor Griffin Who drove in a run in his first at bat. Konnor Griffin. Ok that's enough of that and you better read that in the SpongeBob theme song. But the Pirates are hot and are making a statement with the call up and extension for Konnor Griffin. Around the league you had Jo Adell creating a no fly zone in right field and a young catcher who forgot he's not supposed to hit the snooze button. 

2nd series is in the books and of course it's still to early to read into anything this season. BUTTTT, if we were, we'd talk about how dominate Miami has been and how incredible the Yankees pitching has been. Oh and also CB Bucknor... Ya, CB Bucknor

WE ARE SO BACK. An insane episode for you guys including the longest series recap I've ever done and that's because of so much stuff that happened this weekend. We had extras, we had walk-offs, we had so many rookies ball out with first MLB hits being home runs, and rookies who already have 3 straight games with home runs. Insane weekend with so much to go over, hopefully I didn't miss anything

The time is now. Opening Day is this week which means it's the perfect time for my annual picks for all the awards as well as divisions and my world series winner. How much will I be right about? Or how much will I be wrong about? All we can do is watch and enjoy the baseball that's ahead of us and find out as the new baseball season finally kicks off

2 weeks have flown by in the blink of an eye. The World Baseball Classic is over and we have a new winner. Joining Japan, USA and the Dominican Republic, Venezuela is now an officially Champion of the tournament. For this mini episode ahead of our predictions and Opening Day, we look over the last 2 games as well as highlight some players who were great throughout the tournament. Until 2030, see you soon WBC. 

The World Baseball Classic is almost at it's last game. We started with 20 teams and now just 3 remain. With only 2 games left who will win it all. In this episode we look over the quarterfinal games as well as one of the semis which includes a heartbreaking ending. 

Apologies for the poor audio. Realized the issue too late. Will be fixed  The group plays have come to an end and it ended with some big bangs. Two teams are in the quarterfinals for the first time and the USA had a tough week both on and off the field. And although there's only 7 games left, it feels like we are just getting started

The World Baseball Classic has been nothing short of entertainment. With Group C pretty much wrapped up, today's episode is taking a look at all the games over the weekend and sneaking a peak at the remaining 13 left before the quarterfinals begin. Still so much to play for

The World Baseball Classic is here. In today's episode we take a look at the 20 teams that will be dueling it out over the next 2 weeks, as well as recapping the 4 Group C games that have already happened. 

Already the end of the DOPs, finishing it with the NL East. Mets had a tough end to their year while the Braves year was filled with injuries and bad luck. Entering this year both teams look to be battling with last years division winner in the Phillies as a 3 team battle for first will be quite enjoyable for the rest of us. The Marlins might even be sneaky good like they were last year and find themselves in the mix. Nationals will look to develop some young talent in a year where if they finish 4th in the division, they would view that as a win. 

The penultimate DOP, the AL West is next and this division has a lot of potential to be a battle. You've got 3 teams that seem to be in the mix with the Rangers, Astros and last years division winners, the Mariners. The Athletics have an elite and fun looking lineup but can their pitching help them be competitive? And what abut the Angels and all their gambles, I'm sure one or two will pay off but if they all work in their favors, they might have a chance as well. 

Up next for this years DOPs, the AL Central. Last year we saw something crazy with the Guardians coming back from 15.5 games to steal the division away from the Tigers just to lose to them in the postseason. This year it looks to be a 3 team fight for the top spot in the division while the other two will have a close fight for 4th. The Royals, Tigers and Guardians could all take it, but which team has the edge or the X factor to win it? 

Up next in this years DOPs, is the NL Central. The Brewers after finishing last year as the best team in baseball traded away their ace in Freddy Peralta and 2 players that finished top 5 in the rookie of the year voting, meanwhile the Cubs lost Kyle Tucker but brought in Alex Bregman. Which of these two team will take the crown this year or will the young talent of the Reds and Pirates surprise us all? I have little expectations for the Cardinals...

Coming up next, the NL West. The B2B Champion Dodgers will look to continue to own the MLB and just because they have the best players and are the team to beat doesn't mean they will have it easy. The Padres, Giants and D-Backs are all looking to dethrone the king and one of them might just get that chance. Oh and the Rockies are here too. 

EDIT : Anthony Villa is not the new O's manager. It is Craig Albernaz The first of our 6 Division Outlook and Predictions (DOPs). We start with a bang with probably the most competitive and complete division in the AL East. The AL Champ Blue Jays will look to win the division again but this could go either way as Boston has added to their rotation, while the O's bring in the Polar bear among others. The Yankees will run it back with a similar team to last year and the Rays are trying to go back to their scrappy ways back home in tropicana. The AL East is going to be a dog fight

The last offseason episode is here. We are in full Spring swing and we are starting to gear up for an insane 2 weeks of the WBC and the start of the 2026 season less than a month away. This episode is for the old guys as we talk Scherzer's new deal and Sale's extension

WE MADE IT. The offseason is over today because baseball spring training games start today. An although moves will still happen after, we at least have baseball to watch. In terms of that news, we had some this week with Zac Gallen staying with the Diamondbacks while the Padres get a collection of guys including Nick Castellanos. Baseball time everyone

Well, ladies and gentleman we are here. As pitchers and catchers report baseball will be back before you know it. As the offseason winds down, we had a banger off a week with roughly 20 signings including Chriss Bassitt, Marcell Ozuna and most notably Justin Verlander as he returns to where it all started, Detroit.
