Francisco Lindor didn’t realize he was in middle of ‘act-professional’ controversy

The polarizing broadcasting clip involving Francisco Lindor that went viral on Wednesday came as a surprise to Lindor on Thursday. In the fifth inning of Wednesday’s victory over the Phillies, the Mets shortstop caught a line drive from Edmundo Sosa on a play that began with Kody Clemens attempting to steal second base. Clemens, no doubt doubled off, made no attempt to return to first base. Lindor lobbed a two-hopper to Pete Alonso for the...

Rob Manfred’s weak leadership on display again with Dodgers’ Pride Night debacle

If a Law of Averages exists, Rob Manfred is due to get one right. Long overdue. Following the Commissioner of Baseball is like watching .208 batters swing as hard as they can at 0-2 pitches. It defies logic — and helps explain why they’re batting .208 — but persists as a modern, sense-defying standard. Our sports leagues are suddenly in the business of virtue signaling by conducting Pride Day/Night games to demonstrate support for the LGBTQ+...

Max Scherzer found a new reason to be mad about the pitch clock.

Home-plate umpire Tripp Gibson told Scherzer that the clock would expire if Gibson let him throw another pitch, since MLB rules prohibit any warm-up pitches once the clock between...

Jorge Lopez’s putrid night for Twins gets worse with self-made mistake

Jorge Lopez’s night on the mound for the Twins on Wednesday was bad enough, but he found a way to make it worse once he exited with a Powerade bath.
