Braves dig for another series win as Bryce Elder chugs along

The Bryce Elder saga continues. At least it’s a happier one than in years past… though what about the MLB-best Braves isn’t, at this point? Elder got things started on the right foot this year with an altered pitch mix and augmented slider, with three good outings in his first four tries. His collective line […]

The Cubs are walking all over the league

The Cubs drew six walks in Friday’s 10-5 win over the White Sox. That’s the 18th time this year, in 45 games (or 40 percent of games) that the Cubs have drawn at least six walks. The season high is 10, in a 7-4 win over the Phillies April 21. If you’re thinking that’s a […]

Game thread XLVI – Royals at Cardinals

The Royals are now in the midst of their second losing streak of at least five games. They only have a single five-game winning streak to counter them.

Porter Martone set up Macklin Celebrini with ridiculous assist at Worlds

After earning two assists on Friday during Team Canada’s 5-3 victory over Sweden at the World Hockey Championships in Switzerland, Flyers winger (and Team Canada member) Porter Martone proved that the two assists weren’t a fluke. In fact, the third assist of the tournament for the 19-year-old might have been the best we’ve seen from the youngster in a few months. And, considering just how remarkable some of the assists have been, that’s saying something. With Canada leading 2-0 late in th...

Free Agent Tommy Pham Signs With 10th Team in 5 Years
