I guess the city of New York was so excited for the home debut of Juan Soto that its sheer joy caused the ground to shake.   A 4.8 magnitude earthquake with an epicenter in New Jersey rocked New York Friday morning, causing the entire city into commotion. The only ones who remained calm were the…

Orioles star shortstop Gunnar Henderson might have taken a subtle shot at the previous ownership group after being asked about new owner David Rubenstein.   The day before opening day, MLB owners unanimously approved the sale of the Baltimore Orioles going to Rubenstein.  He will be replacing Peter Angelos, who passed away last Saturday at the…

Dodgers slugger Shohei Ohtani finally addressed the media Monday after the firing of his interpreter and best friend Ippei Mizuhara for “massive theft,” denying any involvement in the matter. “I never bet on baseball or any other sport,” Ohtani said through his new interpreter. It was revealed that Mizuhara had spent $4.5 million of Ohtani’s…

Today, Major League Baseball’s Cleveland Indians have made the decision to change their team name to the Guardians.  The team’s name has been the subject of controversy for many years, with many regarding the name as racist and inconsiderate. The team’s previous logo was a red-faced Native American named Chief Wahoo which they had for…

There were highlights and lowlights this week in baseball.  Baseball’s young stars continue to dominate; the Atlanta Braves’ Ronald Acuna Jr hit his 15th home run of the young season, leading the league.  Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr is right behind him with 13 home runs despite missing 17 games already. Tatis hit a grand…

This week of baseball was rather quiet but it had some interesting moments.  The notoriously outspoken Trevor Bauer went off on his team the Los Angeles Dodgers after a five-series losing streak.  His frustration seemed to provide a spark as the Dodger were able to win both of their series this week. The Chicago White…

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.  Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani continue to rake as the Angels took two out of three in the Freeway series.   Unfortunately, the big story coming out of Anaheim was the release of future Hall of Famer Albert Pujols.  Pujols has been slumping this…

Baltimore Orioles pitcher John Means threw a no-hitter against the Seattle Mariners Wednesday at Safeco Park.   It was the Orioles’ first no-hitter since 1991 and the first completed by one pitcher since Hall of Famer Jim Palmer accomplished the feat in 1969. Means finished the game going nine innings, with zero walks, and a career-high…

It was another thrilling week of baseball as the first month of the young season has ended.  Byron Buxton seems to be the 5-tool player that the Twins envisioned, as he has been arguably the best player in the American League (besides Mike Trout).   After a disappointing split with the Orioles, the Yankees got the…

My favorite baseball team, the Baltimore Orioles, have not been particularly good at baseball for several seasons.  FanGraphs gave them a 0.0% chance to make the postseason this year (which is disrespectful; at least give us a 0.1% chance).  So far this year, they have proven that.  But there have been some positives on the…
