It’s out of the frying pan and into the fire for the Atlanta Braves. Despite today being an off-day, they’ll have little time to come down from their big statement series-win in Los Angeles against the Dodgers. They’ll be coming home to welcome in the high-flying Cubs who have also gotten off to a very […]
The Braves saw their winning streak come to an end on Monday night in Seattle, falling to the Mariners, 5-4, despite hitting four homers and leading 4-0 at one point. Walt Weiss has been terrific this year, but his very questionable decision in the sixth inning turned the game upside down. With the Braves up […]
Maple Leafs GM John Chayka joined Elliotte Friedman to discuss the tampering accusations on day one of the job, his reception and reputation around the league, the challenge facing him in Toronto, his belief in Auston Matthews and William Nylander, and the areas in need of change on the roster. On the first day of […] The post John Chayka on the challenges of managing in Toronto: “I don’t think the league is going to do us any favours writ large… We’re going to focus on what we can control” ...

Josh Whitman hasn’t had to fire many coaches in recent years because it’s been one of the most successful periods in the history of Illini athletics. However, the softball program has definitely gone downhill. And that culminated Monday with Whitman firing Tyra Perry after 11 years at the helm of the Illini. “On behalf of […]
The Lakers and the Sonics/Thunder have plenty of history between them in the playoffs throughout the decades. LA has had memorable battles in both Seattle and Oklahoma City with title-winning teams picking up wins en route to the Finals. Let’s look back before moving forward and take a Dip in the Lake with the Sonics/Thunder […]
After their ugly shutout loss to the Hurricanes to open up the series down in Raleigh on Saturday, it was certain that the Flyers needed to take a beat to regroup and refine their approach to their game, if they wanted to keep this series, at the very least competitive. There wasn’t time enough for a complete overhaul, but there were lessons aplenty that could be taken from how the Flyers approached that game — and how other teams have approached the Hurricanes’ system and dealt with it more e...
After a three-week block where Juventus racked up seven out of a possible nine points against their final (on paper) difficult stretch of the season, surely Juventus wouldn’t trip up on a trap game against a team that had been officially relegated earlier in the week. Right? RIGHT?!!? It was one of those games we’ve […]
Emilio Pagan took the mound in the 9th inning for the Cincinnati Reds on Monday, and he did so in a save situation for the first time in some two weeks. The Reds had scratched and clawed their way back to a 4-3 lead after earlier watching a 3-0 lead evaporate, yet the powers that […]
San Diego Padres Nick Castellanos has been trying to dig himself out of a slow start to the 2026 season. He is hitting .164/.215/.279 with one home run and nine RBI over 62 at-bats. His statistical numbers do not offer much confidence that Castellanos can get out of this slump. The Friar Faithful envisioned him […]

Buca only has one season of college basketball experience at Kansas State. The 7-foot-2 big man will be 24 […]
The home run drought is over, and it only took facing one of the shakiest pitching staffs in baseball for it to happen, as the Dodgers thoroughly outhit Houston in an 8-3 win. It was a win with the particularly sweet taste of seeing Kyle Tucker leave the yard in his old stomping grounds, hitting […]
In losing five-of-eight games, starting with the split against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Mexico City, the San Diego Padres had their first losing streak since the first week of the season. Coming home from Mexico, without a day off to recover, the Padres played six games against the Chicago teams. Losing both series 1-2, the […]
Today is “May the Fourth (be with you)” aka Star Wars Day. In honor of this very important holiday, I have a Star Wars-themed question for you all tonight: Which baseball player’s name sounds most like a Star Wars character? Since the Mets are in town, I think I’ll go with Bo Bichette. Tarik Skubal […]
Aitana Bonmati made her long-awaited return from injury on Sunday as Barcelona Femeni beat Bayern Munich to reach a sixth straight Women’s Champions League final. The three-time Ballon d’Or winner spoke after the game and tried to put into words just how special Pere Romeu’s side are. “I am really happy for the team,” she […]
After a monster season that saw him record 22 goals and 70 points in 73 games, Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Darren Raddysh is set to land him a big payday this offseason. Due to this, let's look at three teams that could look to sign Raddysh if the Bolts do not re-sign him. Toronto Maple Leafs The Maple Leafs need another right-shot defenseman, so it would not be surprising if they looked to add Raddysh in free agency. He has already been connected to the Leafs in the past and wo...
Tonight at Madison Square Garden, the Knicks hosted the 76ers in Game One of their semifinal series. New York had benefited from extra rest by routing Atlanta on Friday, while Philly took the Celtics to seven games before closing their series on Saturday. The visitors played like they had just fought a long battle as […]
If you missed Game 1, you didn’t miss much . With some new forward lines, head coach Rick Tocchet was looking to spark some offense — the Flyers had not scored a regulation goal since Game 5 in Pittsburgh — and send the series back home tied at one. After early returns looked good, Carolina stabilized, and the Flyers couldn’t hang on to their early two-goal cushion. They’ve gone to overtime five times with the Hurricanes this season in six games across the regular season and playoffs, winning ...
Box Score Jackson Chourio shined bright in his season debut with four hits, including two doubles and a walk. Unfortunately for the young superstar, the rest of the Brewers lineup could not come through with the clutch hit when they needed it most, stranding 12 runners on base. Most painfully, the Crew had the tying […]
Vancouver Canucks forward Jake DeBrusk is one of the top trade candidates to watch this offseason. Because of this, let's take a look at three teams that could look to acquire DeBrusk during the summer. Los Angeles Kings The Kings could be a team to watch when it comes to DeBrusk this offseason. It is clear that they need to add another scorer to the middle six, and bringing in a veteran forward like DeBrusk would provide them with just that. New Jersey Devils One...
NEW YORK — No one should have to play so soon after a Game 7 anyway. The Sixers were throttled 137-98 by the New York Knicks in Game 1 of their second round matchup, falling to another 1-0 series deficit. Like Game 4 against Boston, Tyrese Maxey was just not aggressive enough. He finished with […]
Calgary Flames forward Blake Coleman is a prime trade candidate to watch this offseason. With the Flames rebuilding, it would not be surprising to see him on the move. Due to this, let's look at three potential landing spots for Coleman. Ottawa Senators The Senators could be a team to keep an eye on when it comes to Coleman this offseason. There is no question that they could use more secondary offensive production and grit in their top nine, so it would make sense for them t...
On Jac’s blazing bat bobblehead night, the Royals were jolted with a little bit of power. They hit two home runs and just barely missed a third in a game that was a joy to watch. It didn’t start like that though. Both offenses looked off in the first few innings. The game moved at […]
The St. Louis Cardinals got a strong start from Kyle Leahy and the offense came through when it mattered as they beat their NL Central rival Brewers 6-3 Monday night at Busch Stadium. The Cardinals offense executed excellent situational hitting early as Masyn Winn walked in the bottom of the 2nd inning. After Nathan Church […]
