Middle Of The Order

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...

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...

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 Giant...

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 e...
