Counting to four really isn't that hard, but it is occasionally an issue in Major League Baseball.

After lining a ball right into the New York Mets' shift in the bottom of the eighth inning of Monday's game, Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard gave up on the play.

The problem with that is the ball did not end up being caught. It was still a live play as Howard started to make his way back to the dugout.

By all reports, Dallas Braden truly made the most of the amenities at Chase Field during Monday night's game between the Arizona Diamondbacks and St. Louis Cardinals.

More specifically, the former MLB pitcher turned ESPN analyst was all about that pool past the Diamondbacks' outfield wall.

When President Barack Obama went up against New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter on the golf course in Nevada last November, he was under the impression that the Captain was not good at golf.

That proved to be a costly mistake.

President Obama recently discussed his matchup against Jeter, according to Politico's Edward-Isaac Dovere, and it's clear the leader of the free world is still a little bitter about what happened that day, as he believes he was hustled:

The rumor mill is immune to such maladies, but it's noticeably begun to pick up speed as we race toward the season's final month.

In order to win in daily fantasy baseball, it's often important to look past the highest-priced players on the board.

While players like Jake Arrieta ($12,500) and Josh Donaldson ($6,400) are clearly strong options, they might be too expensive to be worthwhile. However, if you supplement your top picks with cheaper players at various positions, you could be in good position to win.

The San Diego Padres' dreams faded rather quickly this summer.

The offseason was an incredibly aggressive one for first-year general manager A.J. Preller, who brought in no fewer than seven new players to upgrade a team that had not finished higher than third place in the previous four seasons.

Even though Tuesday night's MLB schedule features a full slate of 15 games, there's a distinct lack of big-name pitchers taking the mound.  DraftKings daily fantasy players may want to employ a pair of second-tier arms instead of a traditional ace.
