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. …

7:45 AM ET Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Email print comment There aren’t many good days in the war on pitcher injuries, but Monday was particularly bleak. Noah Syndergaard headlined the damage, as the Mets’ 24-year-old ace was diagnosed with a partial tear of his right lat, which could keep him sidelined for three months. Syndergaard is, physically, the perfect pitching machine: He throws harder than any other starting pitcher,…

The Orioles–Red Sox feud has been escalating for two weeks now, beginning with Manny Machado sliding into Dustin Pedroia on April 21, continuing with the racist insults hurled at Orioles outfielder Adam Jones, then with Chris Sale throwing behind Machado on Tuesday night, and culminating in Kevin Gausman’s ejection Wednesday. The teams play again tonight, so it may not be over. Of course, this kind of beef is not new…

ST. LOUIS • A woman was grazed in the arm by a stray bullet during Tuesday night’s Cardinals game inside Busch Stadium. Police sources say there had been a call for shots fired near the 14th Street and Chouteau Avenue area moments before the woman was struck, and that the bullet may have come from someone shooting into the air. That intersection is less than a…

A New York City man is on a mission to flush the cremated remains of his lifelong friend — a plumber — down ballpark toilets around the country. Tom McDonald tells the New York Times that it’s a fitting tribute for Roy Riegel. The two baseball fans were childhood friends in Queens, not far from — wait for it — Flushing Meadows, where the Mets play. Like baseball, this endeavor…

BOSTON (AP) — Adam Jones received extended applause from Fenway Park fans a night after he was racially taunted, both teams were warned after Boston ace Chris Sale threw behind Manny Machado’s legs in the first inning and the Red Sox went on to beat the Baltimore Orioles 5-2 Tuesday night. Machado homered out of Fenway Park for the second straight night, a seventh-inning drive, and…

Tyler Skaggs is a good major league pitcher. That’s undeniable. It remains to be seen whether he’ll be an All-Star or not, but at the very least, most people can agree that his stuff is above average. His injury, compounded with the ones to Garrett Richards, Nick Tropeano, Andrew Heaney, Cam Bedrosian, and countless others, means that the Angel pitching staff is, once again, pretty decimated. What is Tyler Skaggs?…

The Kansas City Royals are in a holding pattern right now, with rapidly depleting fuel and no relief in sight. A bad team isn’t inherently boring or unbearable to watch. If there’s a bad team with direction, then you can dream, hope. The Royals’ 2011 was fun for that reason. They were terrible, but you could see seeds being planted. The Chicago Cubs averaged an excruciating 95 losses per year…

Mike Barnabi TimesReporter.com correspondent The vast majority of middle-age and beyond baseball players can’t run, throw or field like they could in their prime. They have more aches and pains than they used to. But none of that has adversely affected their love of the game. That’s the main reason most of them are still playing, some well into their 70s. “We love the game,…

After the Baltimore Orioles beat the Boston Red Sox in Fenway Park on Monday night, Orioles All-Star Adam Jones said he endured a barrage of racist slurs and actions as he was manning his position in center field. “A disrespectful fan threw a bag of peanuts at me,’’ he told USA Today, “I was called the N-word a handful of times tonight. Thanks. Pretty awesome.’’ The “fan’’ who thew the bag of peanuts…

When Citrus Valley coach Daren Espinoza took the Citrus Valley coaching job after 15 years at Rialto High, he brought with him a healthy appreciation of the difficulties of competing in the Citrus Belt League. Espinoza said he didn’t come to coach Citrus Valley to be one of the other good teams, he wanted to be “that” team. Now, three years later, Espinoza and the Blackhawks are closing in on…

For diehard baseball fans, a world without Sean Forman’s Baseball-Reference.com is difficult to imagine. But the site is relatively new; it didn’t grace the Internet until 2000. Before that, for seamheads interested in baseball statistics there was only … print. Print? Yes, print. You remember print. One of those print compendiums of baseball information was a 6.5-pound behemoth nicknamed “Big Mac,” and it changed how people think about the sport….

It’s 8:02am on Sunday April 30th, 2017.  So here’s the gist… my name is Tim Dillard.  I’m a pitcher in my 15th professional baseball season, and currently in the Milwaukee Brewers organization with Triple-A Colorado Springs.  I think that’s it.  Oh yeah, I’ve been married for eleven years, and have three remarkable kids.  A few months ago I was minding my own business, when MLB Trade Rumors asked if I was…
