Don't overreact to umpire's mistake
Here's something you might not know about the infamous Angel Hernandez game: The A's had a great chance to win the game even after Hernandez and his fellow umpires twice blew the call on what would have been a game-tying home run. Chris Perez, the...

Like Cubs, Astros building from bottom up
Like his bosses, Mike Foltynewicz is a baseball optimist. He can see the Astros rising out of the ashes they find themselves in at the beginning of the Jim Crane era. "In three or four years, we're going to be a fun team,'' said Foltynewicz, a 21-year-...

Down 2-0 to the Rays in the eighth inning Wednesday, the Rangers got runners to second and third with one out. Right-hander Joel Peralta was on the mound, and the Rangers had switch-hitter Lance Berkman and the left-handed-hitting A.J. Pierzynski on the...

The emigrants: Departures for U.S. weaken baseball in Japan
Bud Selig would love to see a series between the World Series and Japan Series champions. But among the realities is that as problematic as that idea seems now, it might become even less viable in the future. Major League Baseball is lowering the talent...

Showalter baseball's biggest difference-maker of 2012
At the risk of messing with the sabermetric lobby, Mike Trout wasn't the biggest difference-maker in baseball this season. No, this is not just another plug for Miguel Cabrera and calculations you can do in your head. It's actually an endorsement for...

A bit of magic helps Giants win pennant
SAN FRANCISCO — Sometimes you really do have to see it to believe it. When Hunter Pence shot a line drive at Pete Kozma on Monday night, the ball started to Kozma's right and took a hard turn to the right about halfway to the infield dirt. It...

Quite a journey from Rice to perfect game for Humber
As surprises go, Philip Humber's not-so-perfect game against the Red Sox on Thursday wasn't exactly Chrysler making a comeback. Really, if you didn't see the bad start coming, you weren't looking at him. It's not his perfect game against the Mariners on...

New playoff format doesn't do A's any favors
DETROIT — So there it is: baseball's biggest kiss-off. They made a movie about the 2002 Athletics. This time around, somebody should write a blues song for them. After they had won the second-most games in the American League this year, the A'...

White Sox need more starts like Quintana's
Jose Quintana does not tiptoe into a room. He opens the door and waltzes right in, sometimes to stick around, sometimes to be promptly escorted out. It's a direct approach, one built around challenging hitters with strikes, and the White Sox prefer it to...

Dodgers don't have room for breakout star Puig
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Sure, there are qualifiers. There always are. Arizona is a great place to hit. He's on the hottest streak of his life. And if he had been facing him in the regular season, not in late March, the White Sox's Jake Peavy wouldn't...

MLB power rankings
1. Tigers: Forget the concern at closer. They were loaded last year, and they're a lot better with Victor Martinez, Torii Hunter and a full year of Anibal Sanchez. 2. Dodgers: Hanley Ramirez's injury could slow them out of the gate, but they're deep and...
