vs The Giants took on the Washington Nationals yesterday. I can hear you think: “Dutchies in that game?” Not players but San Francisco’s hitting coach Hensley Meulens is a Dutchy as well. Meulens was the first player from Curacao that made it to the bigs. He is also responsible…
vs What a game it was. Game two of the ALDS between the Tigers and the Orioles. The O’s took a 2-0 lead after Jonathan Schoop got on base on the first single for Baltimore in the bottom of the third. Nick Markakis took Schoop with him when he hit a homerun. At least,…

It looks like the Braves have lost it completely. Last night they lost from the team with the worst W-L record in MLB, the Texas Ranger: 3-10. Andrelton Simmons went 1 for 4 and left two runners on base. On the defensive side, Simmons was the initiator of two 6-4-3 double plays. Kenley Jansen clinched…
