How will MLB handle a washed-out weekend for a pivotal #Cubs vs. #RedSox series with massive playoff implications? How will the #Cubs handle losing Alex Bregman after he took a freak foul ball to the face? The #WhiteSox bullpen keeps overachieving, but is a first-round bye essential for any realistic playoff run? How will Justin Verlander do on Justin Verlander Weekend to close out his Hall of Fame career? No one asked for a fifth Fifth Third Field. #Brewers clinch the NL Central and set a franchise record for wins in a season with a week to go. https://enemyball.com/

The #Brewers used the last 10 days to prove they are superior to the #Cubs in almost every facet of the game. Pete Crow-Armstrong's heroics might be the #Cubs best hope in a suddenly perilous playoff race because the bullpen has proven they're NOT going to pull their weight. Sam Antonacci and the #WhiteSox might be showing signs they're feeling the pressure as the race tightens for the division crown. Could the federal government influence the location of the next home of the #WhiteSox? We play a little Where Are They Now? with the 2021 Chicago White Sox. Kevin McGonigle and Max Clark might be the only reasons to tune in to #Tigers games these days. https://enemyball.com/

The NL Central race is all but settled, but playoff positioning is up for grabs as the #Cubs and #Brewers clash 7 times over 10 days. Pete Crow-Armstrong keeps on setting records with his bat and creating havoc on the basepaths on his way to the NL MVP and the 40/40 club. #Brewers zag with an opposite-field approach while everyone else zigs to the pull side on their way to another NL Central division title. Can Will Venable keep piecing together a #WhiteSox pitching staff in what will be his most difficult test down the stretch? #Tigers fans react to Tarik Skubal's return while he cements his legacy in Detroit by absconding with an espresso machine. https://enemyball.com/

Chicago renewed its claim to the title of the Capital of Baseball as the #Cubs and #WhiteSox both look like legit contenders and treat fans to another compelling series in a playoff-like atmosphere for 3 epic games at Wrigley Field. Did the #WhiteSox end the #Tigers' division-winning hopes with a jarring 3-game sweep in Detroit over the weekend? Despite what some power rankings say, the #Brewers showed why they are currently the best team in baseball with a statement series win in LA over the slumping #Dodgers. https://enemyball.com/

Jacob Misiorowski continues to make history as the #Brewers take the best record in baseball down the stretch. A historic walk-rate turnaround might be the key to Pete Crow-Armstrong's run to NL MVP and a deep run into the playoffs for the #Cubs. Busy days on the Southside as Will Venable totally owns his embarrassing gaffe while the #WhiteSox give away magic wands and Pope hats, retire Ozzie Guillen's #13 jersey, and plan to honor Tim Anderson. Despite trading away Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize, the #Tigers suddenly find themselves firmly in the AL Central Division and Wildcard races. https://enemyball.com/

In the least surprising move of MLB Trade Deadline 2026, the #Tigers sent Tarik Skubal to the #Dodgers for a hefty package of prospects, seemingly pissing off the entire baseball world. Could the #Brewers have saved the planet from evil Dodger domination by simply being willing to include Logan Henderson in a package for Skubal? Jed Hoyer bolstered the #Cubs depleted rotation, bullpen, and bench, but was that enough to challenge for the NL pennant, let alone the World Series? Chris Getz attempted to address all the #WhiteSox key positions of need, but are Luis Castillo, Brenton Doyle, and Joey Bart even close to filling those holes? https://enemyball.com/

Since we've reached the #MLB #AllStar Break, we decided to debate the best player at each position from a pool of #Brewers, #Cubs, #WhiteSox, and #Tigers to put together our ultimate roster. 1B - Munetaka Murakami, CWS - .911 OPS, 20 HR, 1.8 WAR 2B - Brice Turang, MIL - .826 OPS, 14 HR, 4.0 WAR 3B - Miguel Vargas, CWS - .848 OPS, 21 HR, 3.3 WAR SS - Kevin McGonigle, DET - .812 OPS, 8 HR, 4.7 WAR C - Dillon Dingler, DET - .831 OPS, 19 HR, 2.8 WAR LF - Jackson Chourio, MIL - .834 OPS, 13 HR, 1.9 WAR CF - Pete Crow-Armstrong, CHC - .917 OPS, 21 HR, 5.8 WAR RF - Seiya Suzuki, CHC - .811 OPS, 15 HR, 2.6 WAR DH - Jake Bauers, MIL - .881 OPS, 18 HR, 2.1 WAR SP 1 - Jacob Misiorowski, MIL - 1.62 ERA, 0.76 WHIP, 167 K SP 2 - Tarik Skubal, DET - 3.09 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, 89 K SP 3 -Kyle Harrison, MIL - 3.01 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, 101 K SP 4 -Sean Burke, CWS - 3.41 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, 115 K SP 5 -Casey Mize, DET - 2.79 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, 77 K RP 1 - Trevor Megill, MIL - 14 SV, 3.00 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, 46 K RP 2 - Grant Taylor, CWS - 4 SV, 2.79 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 67 K RP 3 - Jacob Webb, CHC -5 SV, 3.05 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, 48 K https://enemyball.com/

#Tigers two-time reigning Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal took issue with #WhiteSox wand-wielding Mike Vasil and the dark arts of sign stealing. With 13 pitchers now on the IL, the #Cubs inexplicably found a way to beat the #Brewers in a potentially season-saving series in Milwaukee. Miguel Vargas, Dillon Dingler, Jackson Chourio, and Pete Crow-Armstrong all had tremendous months of June, but who was our ultimate BADASS? https://enemyball.com/

Now that the #WhiteSox are legit contenders, how "aggressive" will GM Chris Getz really be going after the biggest names in the trade market?Despite a solid start to the month, have the #Tigers dug a hole too deep to recover from, even with a now healthy Tarik Skubal?Pete Crow-Armstrong, completing his reverse cycle at 1B, only to be immediately picked off, is a perfect metaphor for his mercurial, yet frustrating career so far. #CubsAlex Bregman is surprisingly average, but that's certainly "terrible" in his mind and for any player paid $35M per season. Things are so good in Milwaukee that #MLB couldn't decide which #Brewers breakout star, Jacob Misiorowski or Jackson Churio, had a better week. https://enemyball.com/

#WhiteSox sweep hapless #Tigers but lose Mune Murakami before the toughest stretch of the season. Should the #Brewers trade Jesús Made for Tarik Skubal? It's time for the #Cubs to take advantage of a ridiculously weak June schedule. Don't let negative headlines, sensational rhetoric, and negotiation hyperbole between #MLB owners and Players over the next CBA kill your baseball buzz. https://enemyball.com/

Once again, Chicago proved it's the best baseball city on the planet after an epic battle between the #WhiteSox and #Cubs. https://enemyball.com/

We have some unsolicited parenting advice for injured #Cubs starter Matthew Boyd." Lovabel Reunion" podcast is a fun ride down #Cubs World Series memory lane, but it could've used a better name. #WhiteSox Davis Martin looks like a legit contender in a wide-open AL Cy Young race. Tarik Skubal's latest injury is a brutal setback in the short term, but could it actually help the #Tigers in the long run? Jacob Misiorowski's impressive velocity is unprecedented, but is it also a cause for concern? #ThisIsMyCrew CC Sabathia may merely have made 17 starts for the franchise, but his impact was worthy of induction into the #Brewers Wall of Honor. https://enemyball.com/

Still processing the devastating Tarik Skubal news and dealing with a severely depleted bullpen, the #Tigers desperately needed a strong start from Framber Valdez Tuesday night. He provided anything but. #DNMWThe surprising #WhiteSox suddenly find themselves firmly in the hunt in a chronically mediocre AL Central division.It's a party on the North Side as the #Cubs take 13 in a row (wins at Wrigley AND Malört shots). #Brewers get much-needed reinforcements with the returns of Jackson Chourio and Andrew Vaughn. EXCLUSIVE: Our investigation turns up conclusive evidence that refutes #Yankees’ claims that a recent players’ push is the primary catalyst for 'controversial' new alternate jerseys.https://enemyball.com/

Even after a 10-game winning streak, the #Cubs still find themselves a game behind the #Reds in the NL Central — the only division with all teams above .500 #Mets manager Carlos Mendoza is living on borrowed time after a 12-game losing streak, topped off by an egregious mistake pitching to NL Player of the Week, Nico Hoerner. #WhiteSox rookie phenom, Mune Murakami, leads MLB with 11 HRs, but will he lead Kevin McGonigle and Moisés Ballesteros in this podcast's Rookie of the Year race? Spencer Torkelson breaks out of another early-season slump with FIVE homers in FIVE games. #Tigers have a big decision to make as the "Comerica Park" Era will come to an end in 2027. Despite being tied for last in the NL Central, #ThisIsMyCrew is actually AHEAD of last year's division-winning pace. https://enemyball.com/

#Tigers sign phenom Kevin McGonigle to staggering 8-year, $150M extension in latest example of a trend made famous by the spectacular failure of former #WhiteSox GM Rick Hahn. Much-hyped top prospect, Noah Schultz, got off to a rough start in his #WhiteSox debut. Another day, another Southside Pope promo goes viral. Legendary manager Pat Murphy rips #Brewers fans for booing struggling closer Trevor Megill, then considers demoting him. #ThisIsMyCrew unleashes utterly unnecessary "Wisco" Nike City Connect 2.0 uniforms. Pete Crow-Armstrong's struggles continue after signing massive extension with the #Cubs. https://enemyball.com/
