Josh Donaldson looking right in October. Aaron Judge looking right in May. Something fishy is going on with the Yankees.

If top prospect Cam Smith keeps hitting like this, he's making the opening day roster. And he's probably starting. He needs about 30-40 more at-bats this spring before we can know for sure. But I haven't seen a hitting prospect this special since Yordan

I can confirm the report that the Astros are interested in Mike Burrows and Shane Baz. Also throwing Shane Smith’s name in there. I love Burrows change up. These are the types of pitchers the Astros are going for

This is from 2022, but shows you Pedro Leon's arm. He probably has the strongest arm in the entire system. Hose. I heard it once got up to 99 MPH😂

Jose Altuve left the game after grounding into a double play, he didn’t even head to first. He was holding his side and looked in pain. Altuve headed to the clubhouse with Espada and a trainer.

Yordan Alvarez left the game. Here’s the whole sequence. Espada was talking to him before his AB and it looked like Yordan wanted to hit. After he swung on a foul ball, he stepped back and Espada took him out of the game. Not sure what’s up. Yordan has played in every game

Back in 2022, Julio Rodriquez hit a home run off Hector Neris and celebrated all around the bases. That might have left a bad taste in Neris's mouth. Tonight, Neris told JRod to sit down. Here are both videos.

Here is Framber Valdez's full standup with the media after the game. He said he didn't throw intentionally at Salazar. He said they got crossed up. He also said that for the grand slam and pitch that hit Salazar, Cesar called curveball for both but he wanted sinker

Jose Altuve is the ONLY player in MLB history to have 3 go-ahead postseason home runs in the 9th inning or later. Each time, the Astros won that game. -Game 2 2017 World Series -Game 6 2019 ALCS -Game 5 2023 ALCS
