Bunting in MLB has declined. Moreover, it has some wondering if this unique way to get a hit or move a runner up will become a thing of the past. There is a time and a place to lay down the bunt for a hit or to move the runner along, but managers today are using it less and less.
Batting averages are at historic lows, forcing Major League Baseball into a challenging situation. If you are looking for positive action in the field, this surely doesn’t help.
Joc Pederson has been invaluable for the Arizona Diamondbacks this season. The left-handed designated hitter has more than lived up to expectations with his bat and positive attitude. Since joining the team last offseason, he has been a key contributor both on and off the field.
The Arizona Diamondbacks acquired A.J. Puk in a quick deal on Saturday. The left-handed reliever comes over from the Miami Marlins. The Diamondbacks jumped out early to acquire him ahead of next Tuesday’s trade deadline.
MLB All-Star Game starters were announced on July 3. While the fans did not do a terrible job, there were still some selections that we disagreed with.
MLB All-Star Game starters were announced on July 3. MLB still trusts its fans to select the starters, and while this has been a point of contention in recent years, we commend MLB for doing something to keep the fans engaged.
The halfway point of the MLB season arrived this past week. While many baseball fans consider the All-Star Break the midpoint of the season, the reality is that some teams will have already played 100-plus games by mid-July.

The Milwaukee Brewers are exciting, much to the astonishment of MLB fans. But do not tell that to general manager Matt Arnold and first-year manager Pat Murphy, who aren’t surprised at all. Currently, their team is in first place in the NL Central and seems to be set to keep that spot for the rest of the season.
Ryan Jeffers is finally emerging for the Minnesota Twins. After an exciting debut campaign in the shortened 2020 season, his numbers dropped off while serving part-time duties in 2021 and 2022. This season, he leads the team in home runs, doubles, runs batted in, slugging percentage, and on-base percentage.
Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo has been a bright spot in what has turned out to be a dismal season so far.
