Wildcard Teams Advance!

In two very exciting, low-scoring games, the Washington Nationals and the Chicago White Sox won their wildcard series games and move on to the divisional series with game 1 slated to be played on Friday night.

The Nationals sent 20 game winner Stephen Strasburg to the mound while the Rockies sent 19 game winner Kris Medlen who was acquired from the Atlanta Braves prior to the 2013 trade deadline. Strasburg was amazing as expected, giving up just one run while Medlen was strong as well but giving up 3 runs in his 7 innings of work. 3B Ryan Zimmerman lead off the scoring for the Nationals in the bottom of the 2nd with a solo home run...

Rockies Clean Out Coaching Staff

With the Rockies beginning to fade in the NL West pennant race, falling back 4 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers, Colorado owner Charlie Monfort and GM Dan Stamey met with manager Walt Weiss today. After the meeting, Stamey addressed the media to announce that major changes had been made in the Rockies front office. Bench coach Tom Runnels was released while current manager Walt Weiss was demoted to bench coach. The big surprise was the announcement that Lou Piniella has been signed to a 3 year deal to manage the Rockies starting with tomorrow’s game which is the start of a key 3 game series that could go a long ways in determining if the Rockies can get back into the pennant race or not.

There were a couple of other coaching changes made as both the pitching coach and hitting co...

Un-four-gettable: Rollins Hits for Cycle

“To hit for the cycle” is one of the rarest of feats in a baseball game. This occurs when a player hits a single, double, triple and home run in the same game, getting every type of hit possible. Jimmy Rollins grabbed a piece of baseball history today when he hit for the cycle. Rollins went 4 for 4 with 4 RBI and 2 runs scored against Minnesota, leading the Philadelphia Phillies to a 12-1 win at Target Field.

“I felt comfortable at the plate in a way I haven’t felt all season,” Rollins said after the game. “It was like they were throwing beach balls at me. The ball seemed that big to me. And it just floated in.”

Jimmy Rollins doubled in the 1st, walked in the 3rd, hit a GRAND SLAM off Casey Fien in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, tripled in the 7th and walked in the 9th.

This year Rollins is...

Tulo for Greinke! Say What?!

In what may be the most shocking move in the young history of MLDSB, the Colorado Rockies have shipped the face of the franchise and arguable the most popular Rockie in team history, Troy Tulowitzki, to the hated division foe, the Los Angeles Dodgers for one of the top pitchers in all of MLDSB, SP Zack Greinke. Desperate for a great arm to compliment the decent arms in the starting rotation, the Rockies decided that they had sufficient hitting to offset the loss of Tulowitzki to acquire Greinke who has been incredible so far in the 2013 campaign. Other players were involved in the trade including the Rockies getting cash back from the Dodgers but clearly the key to this trade involved these two outstanding players.

GM Dan Stamey was asked at the news conference last night during the ...
