We have never been closer to the 2026 baseball season. But we’re not there yet. And there’s still too much time before it starts. So we have to watch something else. Or read something, which is also a good choice (especially if it’s TGP). Just because it’s not baseball season doesn’t mean there’s nothing baseball-related […]
On Thursday afternoon, Mark Mitchell uttered the words: “The location can’t play for us.” Enterprise Arena seemed to be sprouting black and gold in every area you looked but the crowd effect can only do so much to boost a team.

Navigating Blank Gameweek 31 is one of the most significant tactical hurdles of the 2025/2026 Fantasy Premier League season. With heavy hitters from Arsenal, Manchester City, Crystal Palace, and Wolves all without a fixture, managers must pivot to reliable assets who are actually taking the pitch. This week is all about maximizing your “Expected Minutes” […]

Obviously, Hassell and Gray are the biggest names here, […]

Outfielder Michael Siani and reliever Paul Gervase are on the 40-man roster, so they were optioned to the minors. Non-roster invitees Zach Ehrhard, James Tibbs III, […]
Record: 11-12-1. Change on 2025: -2. 5-inning Record: 7-15-2. It isn’t typically a good day when every pitcher bar your ninth inning guy gets tagged for one or more earned runs, but today had its positives for the D-backs. The first would be a good start from Ryne Nelson, who went four innings, and gave […]

26-year-old Ben Cowles has been on the Cubs, the Blue Jays, and the White Sox so far this year. The aim is obvious, to get him off the 40-man roster and onto the Triple-A team. If he gets put on waivers, someone claims him, and the circus is back in town. Cowles can play a […]
