Orioles minor league recap 5/24: Tides lose on extra-innings grand slam
Triple-A: Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (MIA) 8, Norfolk Tides 4 – F/10 The Tides spent most of this game behind, but scored two runs in the ninth to take a one-run lead. But the Shrimp tied the game in the bottom half to send it to extras, then scored five runs in the 10th to walk […]
Chicago Cubs news and notes — Alcantara, Rea, Hoerner
Today’s Reflections Well, Nico Hoerner did do something I never saw Ryno do. That, and three singles, was all that there was to talk about after Saturday’s game. Better luck, and lineup, Sunday. I had a little fun below, but I think Kevin Alcantara can provide a spark, a break, motivation — something — for […]
This Week in Purple: Why did it have to be snakes?
It’s been a weird, slow, and kind of boring month of May for the Colorado Rockies. Generally good for just two wins a week, the Rockies are just 6-15 this month after going 14-18 in March and April. The last week has been more of the same. The Rockies picked up wins against the Texas […]
Sunday BP: Highlight of the Week
Good morning, baseball fans! Another week of San Francisco Giants baseball comes to an end today, so it’s time to share our favorite highlights of the week! This week, I’ve got to give it to Rafael Devers and Willy Adames hitting back-to-back home runs on back-to-back pitches to lead off the second inning of Tuesday’s […]
Spencer Schwellenbach throwing, progressing in injury rehab
Yesterday, Grant McAuley of Atlanta’s 92.9 the Game, From The Diamond and Battery Power, spoke with injured Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach about his rehabilitation progression. Schwellenbach told McAuley that he has starting throwing from 60 feet on flat ground every other day – a process that began six days ago. That will be […]
Mets Daily Prospect Report, 5/23/26: Rainy days
Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (26-22) POSTPONED (RAIN) Double-A: Binghamton Rumble Ponies (15-29) RICHMOND 5, BINGHAMTON 1 (BOX) Seven walks in less than three innings is impressive work, just not in the way that Brendan Girton is probably looking for. Saul Garcia looks good though, so that’s something. High-A: Brooklyn Cyclones (12-31) POSTPONED (RAIN) Single-A: St. Lucie Mets (19-25) ST LUCIE 4, PALM BEACH 2 […]
‘Barcelona don’t have any money’ – Bayern chief not worried about fresh Harry Kane transfer talk
Bayern Munich chief Uli Hoeness has aimed a dig at Barcelona following fresh talk about interest in striker Harry Kane ahead of the transfer window. The England international is still yet to extend his contract with the Bavarian giants, leading to more rumors recently that Barcelona could go for the 32-year-old. Hoeness addressed the speculation […]
Making the case for Cody Bellinger to hit leadoff
One of the curses of such a long season, and this is true for all levels of teams, is the incessant tinkering one might be prone to do, trying to optimize a team’s performance. As we comb through the Yankees’ offense and potential avenues of improvement, one that inevitably stands out is the improved production […]
Phillies news: Zack Wheeler, Chan-min Park, Trea Turner
I’d be surprised if the team does not get today’s game in with the rain being a bit more sporadic compared to yesterday. They’ll wait forever, of course, to try and get it started if they have to, but it should get played eventually. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Orioles news: Doubleheader with Tigers awaits
Hello, friends. Weather robbed us of the Orioles getting to play yesterday. Given their all-too-frequent play this season, it may be that nothing was lost to the fan in not seeing the Orioles. As Zagreus is frequently reminded in the video game Hades, there is no escape. There will be two O’s games today, whether […]
Cardinals and Brissett ‘significantly’ far apart in contract negotiations per report
For the Arizona Cardinals, what is happening with Jacoby Brissett is nothing short of fascinating. You moved on from a quarterback and did not add anyone who could be deemed as a quality starter. You have basically the same thing in Gardner Minshew as you do in Brissett, but you as an organization made it […]

Erie splits double header, Toledo loses in extras
(F/10) Indianapolis Indians 5, Toledo Mud Hens 4 (box) Toledo overcame another rough outing from Carl Edwards Jr., forcing the game into extra innings, but Indianapolis still came out on top in the 10th. Edwards, working as a spot starter, gave up a run in the first with two outs, and then back-to-back homers in […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 5/24/26
We received a small blessing in not seeing the Yankees blowing another game yesterday, as they were rained out before it could even get underway. Now facing a two-game set with the postponed game pushed way out to September, they’ll look to lock down a split with Ryan Weathers on the mound (and ideally, the […]

Yankees news: Gerrit Cole gets ideal return start
FOX Sports | Deesha Thosar: Gerrit Cole made his triumphant return to the mound on Friday. After missing all of last season and the start of this one as he recovered from Tommy John surgery, the former Cy Young Award winner needed only 72 pitches to keep the AL-best Rays off the board through six […]
Diamondbacks 5, Rockies 4: Good Enough!
Ah, Zac Gallen. Our one-time ace, more recently our collective repository of remarkably persistent hopes and dreams and aspirations of the “he just needs to get his mojo back and he’ll be an ace again!” variety, our late-breaking $25 Million Dollar Man (with some money deferred, of course) as we got ready to set sail […]
White Sox Minor League Update: May 23, 2026
Gwinnett Stripers 5, Charlotte Knights 1The Stripers (28-22) scored early, putting up five runs in the first three innings off of Knights (25-25) righthander Duncan Davitt, while the Charlotte offense couldn’t respond, and Gwinnett won their second game of the series, 5-1. Davitt recorded his second loss of the season and has consistently had a […]
Diamondbacks 5, Rockies 4: One-way traffic
The Colorado Rockies dug themselves into a few holes and weren’t quite able to climb out of them. Michael Lorenzen fought traffic all night, and the offense wasn’t able to string together enough hits to put them over the top. They ended up losing, 5-4. Traffic jams prove costly for Michael Lorenzen Michael Lorenzen battled […]
24-27 – Rangers waste ample chances in 5-2 loss to Angels
The Texas Rangers scored two runs while the Anaheim Angels scored five runs. Before winning tonight against the Rangers, the Angels had only won two games in a row once since April 17. Even then, you’d still have to go back to the first week of this month when they won two in a row […]
One Year On: ‘Til The End, My Bonny Lads!
The date is the 13th of May 2025 and the match time is 12:00. The unfettered noise and limbs in the Stadium of Light is ear-splitting and unprecedented. Dan Ballard’s goal in the dying embers of extra-time of a tense second-leg play-off semi-final has released a torrent of guttural emotion. It is the kind of […]
Cubs Minor League Wrap: Iowa stops Memphis, 6-4
Catcher Casey Opitz was activated off the Development List and returned to Iowa. Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs clipped the wings of the Memphis Redbirds (Cardinals), 6-4. Starter Paul Campbell threw the first six inning and allowed three runs on six hits. Two of the three runs came on a home run by rehabbing Lars […]
A’s Drop Second Straight To Padres 2-0
San Diego has not been kind to the Athletics. They dropped the first game of the weekend series last night and fell again this evening 2-0, ensuring a series loss for our squad and dropping the team back to the .500 mark at 26-26. Now the Athletics will have their backs against the wall tomorrow […]
Braves News: Chris Sale interview, Braves shut out, more
The Braves lost a game 2-0 to the Nationals, which is unfortunate because the Nationals are very much the profile of team that you should beat if you hold them to 2 runs (though statistically that applies to every team, the Nationals are especially pitching-deficient. That said, the Braves still have a chance for a […]
