    • Crochet, White Sox drop heartbreaking opener, 1-0
    Today is the day Garrett Crochet became President. | Quinn Harris/Getty Images Eight Ks, no walks from the southpaw well offset by 11 Ks, no walks from his offense When it’s said that one pitch can make or break a game, that doesn’t only refer to walk-off homers. In a stunning and heroic, but ultimately heartbreaking effort, Garrett Crochet defied expectations with a taut six innings of on...2024

    • 2024 AL Central preview: The search for signs of life beyond Minnesota
    Photo by Frank Jansky/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The Twins needed only 87 wins to take the division title in 2023. The ceiling probably won’t be much higher. In 2023, the AL Central was easily the worst division in baseball. It wasn’t in danger of going full 1994 AL West or anything, but at the All-Star break, the Cleveland Guardians were in first place at a dead-even 45-45. All four...2024

The thing about Lynch is the upside is there but I don’t see what I once saw. As I said before, maybe I never should have seen it, but I did and so did many others.

    Photo by Matt Dirksen/Getty Images Oh, man. Here we go. The Cubs’ World Series core was given one more chance at contention in 2021. And they did get off to a good start. After a combined no-hitter over the Dodgers June 24, they were 42-33 and tied for first place in the NL Central. An 11-game losing streak followed, and overall they went 5-17 in their next 22 games, which put up the “FOR...2024

Timeline

  • 2024
    "Facing Javier Báez to open the third, and putting him in an 0-2 hole, Crochet and catcher Martín Maldonado opted not to roll the ball to the plate and induce an easy whiff from the notoriously free-swinging clown prince but a center-cut fastball that was slapped to right for a single."

  • 2023
    "This is the first time the Cubs have had at least three players earn Gold Gloves in a season and the first time the team has been honored with multiple award winners since 2020 when first baseman Anthony Rizzo and shortstop Javier Báez were named Gold Glove winners."

  • 2022
    "When longtime players like Contreras (or, last year, Javier Báez, Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo) are traded, some institutional memory goes with them."
