Day one in Lawrence is in the books, and Missouri track & field wasted no time making noise at the Rock Chalk Classic on Friday, May 1. From distance dominance to throwing power, the Tigers showed up across the board. Men’s 1,500m Set the Pace Lasse Funck led the charge with an impressive win, and […]
This Braves road trip couldn’t have started much worse, with the team facing a 5-0 deficit in the first inning. It ended, though, like so many games have this season. With Atlanta celebrating a victory. The Braves rallied from a 6-0 second-inning deficit for an 8-6 victory over the Colorado Rockies in the opener of […]
The Dodgers (20-12) failed to get their bats going in a 7-2 loss to the Cardinals (19-13) Friday night at Busch stadium in St. Louis. The L.A. bats didn’t muster much against the Marlins this week, including in Wednesday’s series finale. They got their first day off in two weeks, and a break was what […]
Daniel Palencia was throwing hard in St. Paul. Mason McGwire might just be a prospect. Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs declared the St. Paul Saints (Twins) to be heretics, 6-5. Connor Noland put the I-Cubs in an early hole after he got battered around for five runs on six hits over four innings. He walked […]
The Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals are back at it on Saturday for the middle game of the weekend series at Busch Stadium, with Roki Sasaki looking to build off his first win of the season. Sasaki remains a mixed bag in the rotation, and rode his harder splitter to more control last Saturday against […]

Jays 7 Twins 3 Kazuma Okamoto had a slow start to the season, but he’s picked things up lately. Today he had 2 home runs, a walk, 3 runs and 3 RBI. 31 games into his MLB career he has 7 home runs, and 18 RBI. And, unlike yesterday, the pitching was good and the […]
It’s all about the details throughout a playoff series. Sure, we can look at the results from the two different teams and see just how they stack up against each other based no broad, team-wide statistics or how many games they won in the regular season, but it’s really all about the little minor narratives and the individual battles we see. The Philadelphia Flyers’ upcoming series against the Carolina Hurricanes is going to be full of them. Little collisions between players or some overa...
Make absolutely no mistakes, Andrei Vasilevskiy was the first, second, third, fourth, and sixth star tonight. We’ll give Gage Goncalves the fifth star for his overtime, game-winning goal, but without the absolute stellar play of the Lightning netminder, this series is over. Vasilevskiy picked up his first shutout of the playoffs as he stopped 30 shots, including a brilliant two-save sequence on Ivan Demidov in the second period. He needed to make every last one of those stops as the Lightning ...
The San Antonio Spurs had relatively little trouble disposing of the Portland Trail Blazers in their recent best-of-seven, first-round NBA Playoffs series. San Antonio won the matchup 4-1. They’re now on their way to face the severely-injured Minnesota Timberwolves in the second round while Portland heads into a summer of retooling and evolution. As it […]
According to The Athletic’s Mike Sando, anonymous NFL executives recently weighed in on the Indianapolis Colts 2026 draft class, which even without a first round pick, saw the Horseshoe potentially land two immediate defensive starters on ‘Day 2’: “They would not have gotten a Sauce Gardner picking where they were going to pick, whether that […]
First period Two early icings by the Lightning and they’re already diving trying to draw a call on the race to the puck. I expect that to be a theme of this game. A very nice cycling shift for the usual top line of Juraj Slafkovskš, Nick Suzuki, and Cole Caufield to create a scoring chance. Darren Raddysh wins up a slapshot that hits Jakub Dobeš in the mask, but it falls right into his pads where he can freeze it. Dobeš gives the puck away behind the net, but Yanni Gourde...
Spearheaded by a fantastic effort from Will Warren, the Yankees took early command of their first regular-season matchup against the Orioles in 2026, ultimately winning it 7-2. Specifically on Warren, seeing the front-level starters dominating is all well and good, but the built-in expectations may work against the excitement of it in certain instances. Although […]
AUDIO: VIDEO: RSVP IN NEW YORK On this episode of the Managing Madrid Podcast, Kiyan Sobhani discusses: – How likely is it that Florentino Perez will realize his mistakes and rectify them with the correct decisions? – What would Jurgen Klopp and Jose Mourinho ask for? – Toni Kroos as a sporting director? – Jurgen […]
It was a cold Friday night in May in Columbus, Ohio. Nebraska which despite its great season, has been woeful on the mound in Friday nights in conference play. Enter new Friday night starter Carson Jasa. He was tasked with turning around the Husker’s fortunes against Ohio States number one pitcher since about halfway through […]
The No. 19 Arizona Wildcats can control their own destiny as far as seeding for the Big 12 Tournament if they take care of business in Salt Lake City. They just need to sweep the series at Utah. That means the first game is vital to set the tone. Arizona set that tone with a […]
After a road trip full of late heartbreaks and near-misses, it was time for a little home-cookin’ with a three-game weekend series on tap with the Texas Rangers. Well, the near-misses and heartbreak didn’t stop tonight, as a comeback ended up all for naught with a 5-4 loss on Friday night. Jack Flaherty, who has […]
Jacob Misiorowski had a historic night on the mound. He also put a gigantic scare into the Brewer faithful when he had to be removed from the game while cruising in the sixth inning, but the Brewers have hopefully avoided any major concern over Misiorowski’s health (early reports are that he was cramping), and even […]
Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, not in losses. Arizona lost 4-2 at Big 12 leader Kansas on Friday night to open a weekend series, dropping to 6-12 this season in games decided by two or fewer runs. That includes the last two contests during what’s now a 4-game losing streak. The Wildcats […]
Check out moments from Iowa State’s 8-2 loss to No. 22 UCF
The Texas Rangers scored five runs while the Detroit Tigers scored four runs. The Rangers escaped the dank, musty confines of The Shed and immediately started scoring some runs. That included a real first inning, lead-grabbing unicorn with Josh Jung plating the game’s first tally with a two-out RBI single to show that his torrid […]
After a dormant period, Kellie Harper is making noise in the portal again with the addition of Arizona guard Tanyuel Welch. This is Mizzou’s third transfer portal grab this offseason, all of which have come from fellow power programs. Welch transferred to Arizona from Memphis this past season. In her one year as a Wildcat, […]

We should be in store for an excellent pitching matchup tonight as Cole Ragans faces off against Bryan Woo. Weirdly, I can find no evidence that Woo pitched on Saturday or was injured or ill, even though it was his turn in the rotation. But he’s basically picked up this season where he left off, […]
Sounders will visit KC at 11:30 AM tomorrow on AppleTV.
