The Los Angeles Dodgers lineup is loaded with All-Star level players, including three former MVP winners (Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman). The presence of that trio overshadows some of the other stars in the lineup, including catcher Will Smith.This weekend, Smith made sure that everybody in baseball knows his name as he put together a dominant run on Friday and Saturday that saw him homer in four consecutive at-bats. He hit three consecutive home runs in the Dodgers' 8-5 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night. On Saturday, he picked right up where he left off by homering in his first at-bat of the game to give him four consecutive home runs in four consecutive at-bats. Here is the fourth of those home runs.
HOMERS IN FOUR STRAIGHT AT-BATS FOR WILL SMITH! pic.twitter.com/iGMl6J1tA6— Talkin’ Baseball (@TalkinBaseball_) July 6, 2024
That was Smith's only hit of the day, but it again helped the Dodgers to a 5-3 win over the Brewers. He is now up to 15 home runs on the season with a .854 OPS, making him one of the most productive catchers in all of baseball.

With the mid-summer classic quickly approaching, the all-star selections were released on Sunday evening. In the mix for American League pitchers was former Missouri star, Tanner Hock. The 6-foot-5, hard throwing righty was selected for his first career all-star game. Houck is putting together a break out campaign for the red sox, already eclipsing his previous career high in innings this year. In his fifth season in the league, Houck has tossed 111.0 innings thus far, which should alleviate some concern for the Boston Red Sox going into the second half. But Houck has been great in 2024, posting a...

There’s little information to be found on the history of St. James C. M. E. Church, but the Boston town website notes that the congregation was established in 1896. I believe the present structure was built in the early 1900s. A 1909 broadside in the Hargrett Library in Athens advertises a gospel meeting for the […]

He was the 10th-inning hero in the Diamondbacks’ 7-5 win over the Padres on Saturday and dominated Dodger Stadium with five home runs in three games. Yet, despite these achievements, plus everything else he has contributed to the Diamondbacks this season, Christian Walker was not selected for what would have been his first-ever All-Star Game.

Deciding on which zodiac signs are the most dangerous is not an easy task as there could be many ways of determining what is considered dangerous. Dangerous of course could be a very subjective idea. Your own sign could also weigh heavily in making this list as certain signs, as we know, tend to be more compatible with some than others. So, what am I going to make these predictions based on? I am thinking that looking at the most formidable and dangerous people in our history might be a good way to make the determination of the most dangerous signs. Let’s see what we can learn.

When Yankees closer Clay Holmes fought off Mookie Betts with a devastating slider for strike three against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday Night Baseball (June 9), it represented an emphatic return to form for the stopper, who'd suffered a few dings after beginning the year with 20 consecutive appearances without an earned run allowed.
