In the 10th inning, Ichiro [...]

The Mets snapped a six-game skid yesterday with a 5-2 win against Adam Wainright and the Cardinals in St. Louis. The best part of the game was Daniel Murphy‘s disappearing double trick…check out the GIF below. Murphy lashed a ball down the right field line and it fell exactly between a small crack in the [...]

MLB roundup: May 9

Another day, another umpire controversy in Major League Baseball. This one was baffling. Last night in Houston, the Astros, leading 5-3 in the top of the seventh, went to the bullpen. Houston brought in Wesley Wright to face J.B. Shuck of the Angels. The Angels pinch-hit with a righty, Luis Jimenez. The Astros responded by [...]

MLB roundup: May 8

Joe Girardi had quite the evening as Yankees manager on Wednesday in Denver. First, Girardi decided to put starting pitcher David Phelps in the No. 8 slot in the batting order, leaving catcher Austin Romine to hit eighth.

MLB roundup: May 7
