MacKenzie Gore is rising to the top, one strikeout at a time
For many pitchers, delivering with runners on base can feel claustrophobic, as if you're trapped in a room with no means of escape. But when MacKenzie Gore is in a jam? His Washington Nationals teammates and coaches detect a different demeanor from their ace — but that's easy when the keys to the exit always seem to be in your back pocket.

Chipper Jones crushes ‘toxic' MLB umpire after questionable calls in Cubs-Tigers
Chipper Jones has had enough of a certain MLB umpire. After multiple questionable calls were made during the Cubs-Tigers game on Saturday, Jones went scorched earth on Doug Eddings. The Cubs' 6-1 win was marred with several apparent missed calls, including a couple of called third strikes — including one that looked high and outside to Pete Crow-Armstrong — that were well outside of the zone and what looked to be a wrong ruling on a checked swing by Kyle Tucker. Jones took to X, claiming Eddings is one of the worst umpires in baseball. 'Not only one of the worst umpires in the league for going on 2 decades … but consistently one of the most confrontational. Toxic combination!' Jones wrote. 3 Doug Eddings talks to the dugout of the Chicago Cubs in the third inning against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park on June 7, 2025. Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images Jones, who played for the Braves from 1993-2012, had plenty of run-ins with Eddings, who began working in the MLB in the late 1990s. Eddings has worked 14 postseason series, including two World Series. He was also a part of the umpiring crew in the World Series last year between the Yankees and Dodgers. Jones seemingly doesn't have many positive memories from games umpired by Eddings. 3 The Braves' Chipper Jones throws out the ceremonial first pitch on April 22, in Atlanta. Getty Images He isn't the only one, either. In June 2023, Eddings issued a warning to the Diamondbacks in a game against the Nationals. During the bottom of the first inning, there was complaining heard from the Arizona dugout and Eddings took it upon himself to address it, which was caught on the Bally Sports Arizona TV broadcast due to low game attendance. 'Remember, there's not a lot of fans here and I can hear everything you're saying,' Eddings told the dugout, which was also a slightly embarrassing shot at the Nationals, who were in last place in the NL East at the time. 3 Willson Contreras #40 of the St. Louis Cardinals talks with umpire Doug Eddings after Eddings called pitcher Andre Pallante #53 of the St. Louis Cardinals with a balk in the fifth inning against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium on May 16, 2025 Getty Images Jones clearly wants some action to be taken, seeing Eddings' calls as more of a troublesome pattern rather than the exception in the league.

Done in by Jacob deGrom, the Nationals sputter against the Rangers
Alex Call had finally done it. In the eighth inning, he had worked a walk — the only free pass the Washington Nationals would earn Saturday. The moment was worthy of a celebration, so Call flipped his bat and jogged to first base as Robert Hassell III moved into scoring position.
