At the outset let us note that the Braves suck so bad things are just going to cascade from there. That said, Braves starter Shelby Miller has had more bad luck cascade on him than he deserves this year. Miller has lost his last 10 decisions. Those ten decisions have come in the course of 18 starts in which he has a 3.24 ERA. That’s not CY Young stuff to…

There were few African-Americans in the major leagues when Frank Robinson arrived in 1956. It was only nine years after Jackie Robinson had shattered baseball’s color barrier. “I didn’t have a role model,” the 79-year-old former Oriole said Wednesday at a baseball clinic at Carroll Park. “I respected Jackie Robinson and some of the other guys that were playing. But my mother was my role model.” Nearly six decades after…

On Tuesday night, the Houston Astros were blowing out the New York Yankees (a weird sentence to type being a baseball fan for the last two decades) when Carlos Gomez just missed tagging a Chris Capuano pitch. The Astros were up 9-0, but Gomez was still upset with himself for flying out, so he flipped his bat towards his own dugout and muttered something to himself. The Yankees did not…

At the Brera Ballroom inside the Cosmopolitan hotel and casino on the Las Vegas strip on Saturday night, two former NFL players sit about 30 feet away from each other. One is Bo Jackson, the marquee attraction at FanDuel’s World Fantasy Baseball Championship. Jackson, who hosted a home-run derby for the best of the daily fantasy sports world at a nearby baseball facility on Friday evening, holds court at the…

Baseball teams have a way of dragging their fans’ moods with their fortunes on the field. It’s no fun to root for a perpetually losing team, especially if its performance seems unlikely to improve. Conversely, an unexpected contender has a way of lifting one’s spirits. But wins and losses are much easier to measure than happiness. We do have a proxy, though: the masses at Reddit. I scraped comments from…

Marlins’ Gordon torments Pirates Major-league batting leader Dee Gordon tied a career high with four stolen bases, had two infield hits and scored twice Tuesday night, helping the Miami Marlins beat the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates 5-2. Miami’s Brad Hand (4-3) pitched into the ninth inning. He came into the game 7-20 as a starter, worst among all active pitchers, according to STATS, but has won three of his past four…

The nearly daily SBN MLB editor emails tell me otherwise, but it’s really hard to find something to write about everyday for a baseball team, let alone every week. It’s nearly September, I think we have an idea of what kind of team we’re watching (sometimes good, sometimes bad, Goldschmidt is Godschmidt, et cetera). Trade bait stories are always good for inspiration, but we’re past the trade deadline and…

HACKENSACK — The lanky teenager stared out at the empty football field, lost within himself. Dante Washington once thought it was all over. He no longer was a high school athlete. No more baseball. No more football. All he had to look forward to was a senior year in which he would watch others play. Related:  North Jersey deaf athlete pleads for a waiver to play high school sports Washington,…

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Citizens Bank Park was a field of dreams. Phillies Fan Ann Klein explained, “I came here to get the experience of a lifetime, on the field. Batting, I can’t wait to bat, fielding. Just to be here is a dream come true for me.” More than 100 Phillies fans got lesson in Baseball 101. They’re all women and they all love the sport. Baseball 101 is a program…

Gwinnett County School Board members met Monday to discuss allegations of hazing involving members of a baseball team that includes Parkview High School students. The school board met behind closed doors in early morning executive session, Channel 2’s Aaron Diamant reported. Diamant confirmed that the board upheld a one-year suspension for at least one of the players. A total of five students appealed the decision to suspend them for the…

During Sunday’s game between the Chicago Cubs and the Atlanta Braves at Wrigley Field, a female fan sitting just beyond the first-base-side camera well was struck by a line drive foul ball hit by Kyle Schwarber. Cubs manager Joe Maddon, responding to a question about additional protective screening, remarked that fans need to “pay attention” every time the ball is pitched. The advice is solid, but it does not go…
