The Marlins’ Logan Morrison Was Attacked By A Praying Mantis Last Night (Video)
Nothing was going to throw the Florida Marlins batters off their game last night. Not Washington Nationals starter Ryan Zimmerman. Not the 24,650 fans in attendance at Nationals Park. And certainly not a praying mantis. The latter made its way into the Marlins dugout in the top of the ninth inning, but even an attack [...]

Jose Bautista Took A Pitch To The Head Last Night (Video)

The Stat Line Of The Night — 7/24/11 — Brett Cecil
The Toronto Blue Jays have one of the most unreliable bullpens in the Majors, having blown 17 of their 37 save opportunities thus far this season. One of those blown saves came on Saturday night against the Texas Rangers, as the Jays entered the ninth inning with a one run lead, but couldn’t hold on, [...]

Nice Throw (GIF)
Anyone who has played baseball has heard of the expression “eating the ball.” It refers to a play where a fielder is better off not making a throw because he has little to no chance of getting the runner out, and therefore would be better off not risking a wild throw that would give the [...]

You Think The Jays’ Mike McCoy Was Happy To Be Starting At Second Base Yesterday? (Video)
Mike McCoy hasn’t found much playing time with the Toronto Blue Jays this season, making his way into only 41 games heading into yesterday’s action.

However, he entered last night’s game against the Minnesota Twins coming off his worst start of the season, as he allowed five [...]

Young D-Backs Fan Shows Some Class, Returns Ball To Younger Fan (Video)
Throughout the course of the 2011 MLB season we have seen baseball fans across America show little class in their attempt to snag foul balls in the stands.

D-Backs’ Stephen Drew Suffers A Nasty Ankle Break (Video)
It goes without saying that ankles are not supposed to bend the way Stephen Drew’s did last night. Standing on second base with one out in the bottom of the fourth inning of yesterday’s game between the Diamondbacks and the Brewers, Drew attempted to make it home on a single to left field, but during [...]

Watch Victor Martinez Dance Around Kurt Suzuki’s Tag At Home Plate (Video)
Some baseball players prefer to run over the catcher during a close play at the plate. Others would rather avoid all contact by simply hurdling over the catcher. And then there is Victor Martinez of the Detroit Tigers, who has an entirely different technique for dodging tags at home plate. As a catcher himself, one [...]

Watch This Kid Suck Out Because He Didn’t Catch A Foul Ball (Video)
Last night a young Giants fan was in attendance at AT&T Park to watch his team take on the Los Angeles Dodgers. On top of his wish list, we assume, was a Giants victory. And just below that was catching a baseball. Unfortunately for him, with the Giants trailing 3-2 in the bottom of the [...]
