Bryan Anderson’s First Start

Bryan Anderson is being given his first major league start for the St. Louis Cardinals tonight against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The recent call-up from AAA is 0-2 in two pinch hit opportunities so far. Anderson is in the majors with regular backup catcher Jason LaRue on the DL. Anderson will spell Yadier Molina who caught [...]

Power of the Fist(er)

[picappgallerysingle id="8516222"] When you look at Doug Fister’s stuff you wouldn’t think to yourself: this is a guy who is capable of holding a major league team hit-less for six innings. But that is exactly what the Seattle Mariners starter did last night against the Baltimore Orioles. Fister had a solid debut late last season, [...]

Brendan Ryan Hitting Again

Brendan Ryan is a heck of a defensive player. Many made the case for him to win a gold glove last season. While his glove has been solid this season again, his start with the bat was not so golden. After hitting .080, 2-25, in his first nine games Ryan has hits in three consecutive [...]

Berkman Back

[picappgallerysingle id="8182617"] The Houston Astros are set to get slugger Lance Berkman back tonight against the Florida Marlins. Its a moment that couldn’t come too soon. Though they have actually won three of their last four, the Astros still sit at the foot of the NL Central at 3-9. Offensive struggles were a big reason [...]

Orioles Injury Update: Tejada Day-To-Day, Roberts/Uehara on the Mend, Pie Out Three Months

The Orioles are struggling with more than just a poor performance early this season. Brian Roberts is on the 15-Day DL with a strained abdomen, and now still surging slugger Miguel Tejada is day-to-day after straining his groin in Saturday’s game against the Oakland A’s. On top of that Felix Pie is out for three [...]

Brewers Pitching?

The experts were right, the Milwaukee Brewers pitching is the problem. But on a scale like this, we may not have guessed. The bullpen has been okay. Sure Trevor Hoffman and LaTroy Hawkins have been rocked, but Carlos Villanueva and Manny Para have been brilliant and Todd Coffey very good. But the rotation is a [...]

Pirates early, pleasant surprise

Now it is way too early to be talking about anything for the Pittsburgh Pirates, but at least the team is competing. The franchise with the longest string of losing seasons in the majors has started a respectable 7-5 and sits only behind the Cardinals in the NL Central. Led by a young, talented outfield [...]

Cards Starters Dominant

If anyone was worried about the St. Louis Cardinals rotation beyond the big 2 you can stop worrying. Quite simply these guys may be the best rotation in baseball. The rotation has put together seven straight starts of 7+ innings in which they have allowed two or fewer earned runs. It has happened one other [...]

Ellsbury Return Uncertain – Cameron Still Hurting

The Red Sox are facing some early season injury woes as Jacoby Ellsbury has missed seven straight games with bruised ribs, and there is no certainty on when he will be available. Also ailing for the Red Sox is Mike Cameron who passed a kidney stone earlier this week and is not still in a [...]

Gregg Named Closer

The Blue Jays named Kevin Gregg as their new closer. I think this is a nice move for the Blue Jays.
