Brad Miller With A Big Game Sunday Versus Baltimore

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Brad Miller had a big night offensively against the Orioles Sunday. He would hit a solo HR (his fifth of the season) to go with a double.

The Cut List (Week 9): Time to Let Go?

Welcome to Week 9 of the Cut List. Last week’s cut suggestions were some of the best yet if you ask me. I suggested cutting Jay Bruce, Albert Pujols, Rougned Odor, and Rich Hill and they all continued their poor play. Bruce, Pujols, and Odor went a combined 13-for-64 (.203) and Hill was pulled from […]

Olson crushed a moon shot to straightaway center field off Jorge De La Rosa in the seventh inning. The 24-year-old now has eight HR and 20 RBI in 52 games this season. While not […]

Chris Davis Goes Deep In Loss To Rays

The only thing that Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis, who was the DH, can hope is that his solo homer on Saturday, the lone run in Baltimore’s 5-1 loss to Tampa Bay, is that it might ignite him. Given his woes, you’re better off waiting for some more consistency before putting him in your […]

Ryan McMahon Called Up, Starting Saturday

Colorado Rockies infielder Ryan McMahon has been called up and is slotted to start at second base on Saturday. McMahon has been toiling away at Triple-A ever since he got off to a rocky start early in the season. However, with DJ LeMahieu sidelined for an unknown period of time, the team felt they had […]

Hunter Dozier Rattles Off A Pair Of Hits

Kansas City Royals first baseman Hunter Dozier hasn’t done much since his call-up, but when he does hit, he does it in pairs. In nine games that he’s started while Lucas Duda is on the disabled list, Dozier has safely hit in four of them. Three of those four times, he’s smacked a pair of […]

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 9

Carlos Santana Home Run Not Enough Against Toronto

After starting pitcher Zach Eflin was pounded by the Toronto Blue Jays, the Philadelphia Phillies offense went to work in an attempt to come from behind.
