Entering today the Colorado Avalanche had the opportunity to sweep their first round opponent and did just that in a 5-1 victory against the LA Kings. Goals from Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, Nicolas Roy and Devon Toews set the stage for the early handshakes as this series wrapped up with little drama. The Game With […]
This series wasn’t going to be easy, we all knew that before it began. And when Shōta Imanaga had a 32-pitch first inning in which he allowed a pair of walks and three runs, that made the Cubs’ task that much more difficult. That, and the fact that the Cubs again had RISP issues, going […]
The Dodgers took the three-game series from the Chicago Cubs on Sunday, as Justin Wrobleski and the bullpen held the Cubs silent in a 6-0 shutout win. For a second straight game, Nico Hoerner led off the game with a base hit, and the Cubs put two men on with only one out against Wrobleski. […]
Something needs to change for the Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers are down 2-1 in their series against the Anaheim Ducks. Aside from a dominant first period in Game 1, the Ducks have been the better team through the first nine periods. Their biggest area of concern has been health, as both Jason Dickinson and Adam…
The Houston Rockets are down 0-3 to an undermanned Lakers team, exposing flaws that no superstar, Giannis Antetokounmpo included, can overcome.
The Edmonton Oilers are heading into Game 4 against the Anaheim Ducks, and there’s no point in sugarcoating the position they’re in. The boys are down 2-1 in the series, they’ve given away two winnable hockey games, and now they’re backed into a corner where the margin is basically zero. Lose again, and you’re staring…
This Lakers-Rockets series hasn’t featured pretty basketball. The Lakers have played without Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves, and the Rockets have had two games without Kevin Durant. With so many key stars out, scoring has been ugly and each contest has been a grind. In that muck, the Lakers have been the better team. They’ve […]
Go get ‘em, Shōta.
Looking to take two of three, the Dodgers host the Chicago Cubs on Sunday. Justin Wrobleski faces Shota Imanaga. SUNDAY GAME INFO
Kevin Durant may have played his last game against the Lakers these playoffs. According to Shams Charania of ESPN, Kevin Durant will not play in Game 4 with a bone bruise in his sprained ankle, an injury that will sideline him for weeks. Shams went on to report that Durant was at the team’s facility […]
ALERT! Game time is now 3:10 p.m. CT, because of the impending weather tonight. The Royals are going for just their second sweep on the season, after winning just their second series this year. They lost to the Twins in the initial homestand this season, losing the finale 5-1. The Royals have dominated the first […]
The Colorado Avalanche have battled through three tightly contested games thus far in their first-round series, emerging victorious despite, among other things, the stifling defensive tactics employed by the Los Angeles Kings. With a victory today, the Avalanche can be the first team in the Western Conference to advance to the second round of the […]
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers plan to start Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Shohei Ohtani, and Tyler Glasnow in that order for their three-game series against the Miami Marlins beginning Monday night at Dodger Stadium. That really isn’t news, except that they could have pushed Ohtani to Wednesday’s series finale, which would line up him to start two […]
It’s a pivotal game for the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday night, one that could determine their fate in the 2026 NHL playoffs. Win, and they retake home ice advantage over the Anaheim Ducks. Lose, and they face a 3-1 series deficit that would force a do-or-die Game 5 in Edmonton on Tuesday. After mounting a…
Last Sunday, I laid out my paths to victory for the Edmonton Oilers and Anaheim Ducks. A quick peek at those factors through three games… Edmonton: Better defensive team since the Olympics Reliable structure Break the forecheck Centre ice depth Team experience Oh boy… How about for the Ducks? Anaheim: Dostal cementing himself Ducks flip…
The Dodgers continue their homestand by welcoming the Miami Marlins to town beginning Monday night at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. Yoshinobu Yamamoto has five quality starts in five tries this season, with a 2.48 ERA and 3.63 xERA, but only has two wins, thanks to getting exactly one run of support in three of […]
Roster moves (Bluesky link): Sunday notes… The Cubs lineup was not available at posting time. Please check BCB social media for the Cubs lineup. Dodgers lineup: Shōta Imanaga, LHP vs. Justin Wrobleski, LHP After a somewhat rough first start this year, Shōta Imanaga has been just magnificent over his last four outings: 1.13 ERA, 0.542 […]
Edmonton Oilers assistant general manager Bill Scott is a busy man these days. As the Oilers battle with the Anaheim Ducks in the first round of the 2026 playoffs, Scott is now set to interview with a second team for a vacant general manager’s seat. His first came in late March with the Nashville Predators,…
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 28 Dodgers 6, Cubs 0: It just wasn’t Shōta Imanaga’s day Cubs vs. Dodgers, Sunday 4/26, 3:10 CT live! Chicago Cubs vs. Los Angeles Dodgers preview, Sunday 4/26, 3:10 CT
Through the first three games of their first-round matchup against the Anaheim Ducks, the Edmonton Oilers have scored 12 goals, averaging exactly four goals per game. If you consider the fact that Connor McDavid has been far from his best, producing only two points thus far, this is a rather encouraging fact for the Oilers….
The draft is in the rearview, and it’s time for all of the players who didn’t hear their names called over the weekend to keep their NFL dreams alive. It’s time for the undrafted free agent frenzy. Here’s the list of players who have signed with the Rams as of 8:30 a.m. PT on Sunday, […]
I find it appropriate to start out by hat tipping the Dodgers offense. They curb stomped Colin Rea and Javier Assad in this one. A further hat tip to four Dodger relievers who combined to allow just two hits and a walk over the final four innings of the game. The Dodgers offense and bullpen […]
Two Dodgers minor league outfielders had monster games to highlight Saturday action on the farm. Player of the day One day after hitting his first professional home run, Ontario outfielder AJ Soldra hit two more on Saturday in San Jose, and he tripled in a three-hit, three-RBI, three-run game. Soldra, drafted in the 16th round […]
One thing that is absolutely, undeniably true about sports is that all winning streaks must end, sometime. Thus we knew that eventually, the Cubs would lose another game after going on their longest winning streak since the World Series year of 2016. It’s not always pretty when winning streaks end and that was the case […]
