Today is that Sunday in May we know as Mother’s Day—in case you forgot (you’re welcome, you handful of horrible children I just reminded). I am not a mother, but I do have a mother, and she’s great! In fact, my mother is the reason I love baseball, but you might have already known that because I talk about her a lot. I have many stories that I could tell…

Postseason college baseball returns to Hutchinson this week as the NAIA Baseball Championship opening rounds begin at nine sites across the nation. Five teams will compete at Hobart Detter Field in a double-elimination bracket with the winner advancing to Lewiston, Id. for the NAIA World Series. It’s a spot Tabor College has reached twice in three years, and the Blue Jays have once positioned themselves to make a run at…

“The message was: If you don’t pay up, nobody gets iPads,” Loy said. “That’s coercive.” While the Torrey Pines baseball email, written by volunteer liaison Rex McGuire, stated that fees are voluntary, Torrey Pines High first-year principal Rob Coppo, said some of the wording concerned him. “I would prefer to not see the line in there that says ‘bring your check book,’ ” Coppo said. “I also understand,” he added,…

Hundreds of years of collective memories of the black experience in baseball came together Saturday at the Babe Ruth Museum as players who followed in Jackie Robinson‘s footsteps told their stories. In observance of Negro Leagues Baseball Day in Maryland, the museum brought together Negro Leagues and major league veterans to share their experiences. There was Al Bumbry, a member of the Orioles Hall of Fame. There was Fred Valentine,…

Starting pitcher: Cueto looks strong, but Porcello is better… Patrick Corbin ($8,100) and Miguel Gonzalez ($8,000) are playable in cash games. The Pirates have struggled vs. LHP with a .299 wOBA and 22.7 percent K rate … Remember when I wanted to target Dylan Bundy ($7,500) on Thursday? That was against the Red Sox. A matchup with the putrid Royals is much friendlier … Yankee rookie Jordan Montgomery ($7,100) has…

The title of “best rivalry in baseball” is not a permanent title any more than “best team in baseball” or “best player in baseball” is a permanent title (or at least wasn’t before Mike Trout came around). In the early 1950s, the New York Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers finished first and second in the National League three times in four seasons, the first of which led to a best-of-three series,…

Thanks to Field of Dreams and other times where baseball has been in popular culture, baseball is pretty well linked as a game shared between fathers and sons. That’s great, but Father’s Day isn’t until next month, and a lot of our moms like baseball too. Mother’s Day, on the other hand, is just a couple of days away. So my question for you for this week’s FanPost is pretty…

May 11, 2017 Baton Rouge, La. – The #14 Auburn baseball team dropped its series opening game at #10 LSU, 4-0, Thursday evening at Alex Box Stadium. Junior Dylan Ingram led Auburn offensively with three hits and senior pitcher Gabe Klobosits had his best outing of the season, tossing 5 2/3 scoreless innings of relief for the Tigers. “Gabe saved our bullpen,” Auburn head coach Butch Thompson said. “It was…

SEE ALSO: Top 100 Risers, Fallers With the season roughly a month old, the staff of Baseball America presents an update of our Top 100 Prospects list to reflect the graduations of players who are no longer prospect-eligible and to tweak the rankings based on feedback we have received from scouts and coaches who have seen the prospects this year. Because this list comes after just a month of games, the tweaks are…

Caption Close DARIEN — Up eight runs and seemingly in control in the fifth, the Westhill baseball team saw it all dissipate in almost an instant. Darien scored four runs in both the fifth and sixth innings to tie the game at eight headed to the seventh, but the Vikings responded with two of their own in the top-half of the final frame to down the Blue Wave 10-8 in…

Sometimes, the most important things that happen at the ballpark are only tangentially related to the games themselves. I speak as one who hasn’t missed a televised Boston Red Sox game this season, and may not between now and October. Win or lose, I’m in it for the stories. To me, baseball season resembles an epic narrative — think “Don Quixote” or the seagoing novels of Patrick O’Brian — filled…

2:09 AM ET Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Email print comment Kevin Pillar did the above Monday night, making the catch of the season — at least until the next catch of the season. It was a spectacular play, an instant reaction on that difficult-to-read line drive over his head. It helped that Pillar was already playing relatively deep with Jose Ramirez at the plate, but he still had to…

Starting pitcher: As noted above, I prefer Carrasco ($10,600) to the more expensive Scherzer due to their matchups. The Orioles aren’t great, but the Blue Jays are worse … Robbie Ray ($9,200) looks better than you think against the Tigers, who rank 22nd in wOBA (.298) with too many strikeouts vs. LHP … Tampa’s Matt Andriese ($7,900) vs. the terrible Royals is certainly an option … Morton’s status as a…

Baseball is a game of numbers — OPS, WAR, and UZR has become the language of the game — but it is also a game of style.   What else would you expect from a game that is, essentially a compilation of individual performances, with those individuals coming from a variety of backgrounds.  Despite what the unwritten rules police want you to believe, baseball is a game of flair. …
