In The Athletic on this trade they say he has front-line starter potential but hasn't found much consistency, in particular with the fluctuations in velocity. He was probably going to lose his job when Verlander returned. Tibbs (the Giants first round draft from last year) has a left-handed...

His struggle is man's struggle.

Chet read that rebound the moment the shot was launched.

Good schtick by Aaron Boone to get thrown out of the game for arguing with umpires on the field on a play that was overturned in the video booth. The home plate umpire was like, "Who are you yelling at?"

You can also add having your #1 pick wallow on the bench for most of the season and you only give him the chance to play because of injuries and trades, and then are totally shocked that he is kind of good.

That is dreadful advice. Fishburne proved his agency wrong by doing "Boyz N The Hood", and "What's Love Got To Do With It". Both were ensemble movies and he was great in both. Jon Hamm had a similar experience with getting cast in "Maverick". His agent told him to refuse the part because it...

A Steve Scheffler jersey is the shark move.

Brown and Skubal dealt in game one. Brown grooved one to Torkelson, and that was the difference.

Washington has a reliever with the last name of: Brzykcy It is pronounced: Brick-see.

I have always thought Game 4 was the back breaker, not Leon Durham's miscue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMIJ3QRMQIw
