Mick Abel Has Never Been More Important for the Phillies

1 week ago | yardbarker.com | Eric Treuden

Now that mid-June has rolled around, the battle for the National League East has been everything we could’ve hoped for before the 2025 season started. Only one game New York Mets (45-29) and Philadelphia Phillies (44-30) in the standings and both clubs have been at the top of their games this season. While they may not find themselves atop the division just yet, the Phillies have been shockingly healthy to this point (I am knocking on wood right now).

The Blue Jays Bullpen Has Been a Surprising Strength This Year

1 week ago | yardbarker.com | Eric Treuden

Entering Wednesday’s action, the Toronto Blue Jays bullpen ranks 11th in baseball in ERA (3.65) and ninth in FIP (3.62). Neither of those numbers are likely to knock anyone’s socks off, but when you take a look at some of the names that have been logging innings this season, what this bullpen has accomplished has become much more impressive. Gone are the likes of Jordan Romano, Genesis Cabrera, Zach Pop, Trevor Richards, Nate Pearson, Tim Mayza, Ryan Yarbrough, and now Erik Swanson.

Drew Pomeranz Continues to Impress in Epic Comeback

Since he hadn’t throw a single pitch on a big league mound since 2021, you’re forgiven if you thought Drew Pomeranz had sailed off into retirement after multiple long-term injuries and failed minor-league stints. No, the left-hander is still kicking, and his epic comeback has been one of baseball’s best feelgood stories this year. Yet, it’s largely flown under the radar.
Alejandro Kirk Has Emerged as MLB’s Second Best Catcher

Few teams have been hotter as of late than the Toronto Blue Jays. The club is 8-2 over their last 10 games and they’ve statistically been the best team in the game since the start of May, per FanGraphs’ WAR. Before the regular season began, this team had its fair share of naysayers, and rightfully so.

Brewers To Promote Top Prospect Jacob Misiorowski for MLB Debut

2 weeks ago | yardbarker.com | Eric Treuden

The Milwaukee Brewers are 68 games into their 2025 campaign, and their starting rotation has been solid. However, they may just be overperforming. Entering Wednesday’s action, the Brewers are fourth in the league in starter’s ERA (3.32), which is fantastic. However, they’re also 15th in K/9 (8.17) and HR/9 (1.12), 17th in FIP (4.16), 23rd in SIERA (4.30), and 26th in BB/9 (3.54). Clearly, there’s a bit of room for improvement.
