At this point, it would be a major surprise if Arizona gets to play in Surprise later this month. The Wildcats lost 7-5 to Houston in 13 innings on Saturday night at Hi Corbett Field, their seventh consecutive conference loss and eighth overall in the last nine games. With four games left in the regular […]
René Cárdenas, the Dodgers first Spanish-language play-by-play broadcaster when they moved to Los Angeles, died on Sunday at age 96. Cárdenas started with the Dodgers in 1958, and helped train Jaime Jarrín, who joined him in the booth one year later. After four years in Los Angeles, Cárdenas moved to the expansion Houston Colt .45s, […]
Listen, you’re probably reading this because you were out today doing things with your mom, wife, grandmother, someone. And that’s fine. It’s darn near impossible to watch every single baseball game. So today, just know this: if you missed the baseball game, thank the moms of Cristopher Sanchez and Kyle Schwarber for giving them to […]
The Dodgers (24-15) and Braves (27-13) face off for a Mother’s Day rubber match at Dodger Stadium Sunday afternoon. Justin Wrobleski (5-0, 1.25 ERA, 1.00 WHIP) takes the ball for the Dodgers. Bryce Elder (3-1, 2.02 ERA, 1.02 WHIP) counters for Atlanta. Lineups Sunday game info
The Phillies will attempt to celebrate Mother’s Day by earning a series victory over the Colorado Rockies. On the mound will be Cristopher Sanchez, coming off a spectacular start where he delivered eight shutout innings. He’ll be opposed by righthander Tomoyuki Sugano. The Japanese import has a 3.41 ERA in his second MLB season. Game […]
May 12th marks an anniversary that Oswaldo Cabrera isn’t necessarily celebrating. It was on that day last year that the Yankees infielder suffered a gruesome injury during a play at home plate in Seattle against the Mariners. In the ninth inning of a Yankees 11-5 win, Cabrera was on third base when he tagged up […]
Upon trading for superstar Alex Rodriguez in February 2004 and moving him to third base, the Yankees could rest easy knowing that they had secured a real long-term answer for the hot corner. For the better part of nine years, the Yankees planned their seasons with A-Rod penciled in at third, but by 2014, they […]
Jaylon Thompson writes about how a visit to a pitching facility in Georgia helped Daniel Lynch IV. McLaughlin saw an avenue that could help Lynch. He uncovered that Lynch had his glove positioned lower throughout his throwing motion. So as Lynch turned to throw the baseball, he wasn’t staying balanced through his delivery. It caused […]
This was supposed to be the season Matt Rempe solidified his spot with the Rangers. But after a poor performance and nagging injury, his time in New York may be done.
Well, would you look at that? Following a disappointing series loss in Seattle that brought their lengthy streak without series losses to a close, there was every possibility that things could’ve taken a turn for the worse with a trip to the house of horrors that is Dodger Stadium. While the Dodgers have seemed somewhat […]

The Cubs lost to the Rangers 3-0 Sunday afternoon in Texas, dropping a series for the first time in a month. Well, that’s it! See you here tomorrow! Oh. Wait. You come here for game recaps and by gum, you are going to get one, though there’s not much to recap. Jameson Taillon and Jacob […]
The Colorado Rockies had a rough week last week. Heck, it’s been a rough month of May so far. The Rockies have won just two games. However, now is a good a time as any to turn things around, right? After an extra-innings brawl on Friday, the Rockies dropped game two against the Philadelphia Phillies […]
Seriously, the headline tells pretty much the story of the Cubs’ 6-0 loss to the Rangers, a defeat that ended their 10-game winning streak, the second such Cubs streak this season. Well, not the entire story. Here’s most of the reason for the loss: I’m not going to complain too much about this, because the […]
Thus far in May, the Mets have done a much better job putting some wins on the board than they did in April. Despite that, it’s not as though all the problems we saw last month have magically gone away. Most notably, the offense continues to be a struggle on a fairly regular basis. In […]
Box Score It was a matchup of two young pitchers who have been dominating to start 2026: Cam Schlittler and Kyle Harrison. Offense would be at a premium; that was certain. The Brewers nearly were able to knock Schlittler out of the game in the first inning, after William Contreras ripped a 108.5-mph comebacker off […]

Well, that was quite the way to open the series. The Colorado Rockies survived another blown lead to manage an exciting extra-inning win against the Philadelphia Phillies last night. Colorado carries a two-game winning streak into the matchup, as the teams meet for the second time this weekend and the fifth time already in this […]
You won’t find many games where two teammates not only homer, but also double TWICE in the same game; but that was the case for Rome as Eric Hartman and Isaiah Drake had stellar nights for the Emperors on Friday.
