Last night, the San Diego Padres took a shellacking from the Chicago White Sox, eventually losing 8-2. The trouble started early, with Germán Márquez giving up six runs in the second inning. That inning was the difference maker in San Diego’s eventual loss to the Sox. It was a tough loss to take, but this […]
The Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals finish things off on Sunday afternoon at Busch Stadium. Justin Wrobleski makes his first start of May after allowing all of two runs in 26 innings in his four starts in April. Old friend Dustin May, who received his 2025 championship ring from the Dodgers on Friday, starts on […]
The only running backs selected in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft came out of the same Notre Dame backfield. Well before the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks closed out the first by taking Jadarian Price at No. 32, the star-starved Arizona Cardinals selected the electrifying Jeremiyah Love at No. 3 overall. Scot […]
Go get ‘em, Shōta.

1901 The White Sox were part of the first forfeit in American League history. After the Detroit Tigers took a lead with five runs in the top of the ninth, rain began. White Sox players began stalling, hoping to have the game wash out and be called as of the last full inning played (the […]
With Luis Gil back at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and Elmer Rodríguez not exactly dealing in his MLB debut, some of the muddied water around returning Yankee starters has begun to clear. Still, after Will Warren’s excellent outing last night in the win over Baltimore, Ryan Weathers is tasked with holding serve in his own start today, […]
The Orioles filled up the transaction board as they prepared for today’s game against the Yankees. Baltimore added fresh arms to the bullpen by activating Dietrich Enns and Nick Raquet. To make room, the O’s optioned Tyler Wells and designated Albert Suárez for assignment. Enns is back from the injured list after suffering a left-foot […]
First Pitch: 1:10 pm CDTTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN / WCCO 830 / The Wolf 102.9 FM / Audacy This week, I had free tickets to my first two Target Field games of the year, the deflating Tuesday night loss against the Seattle Mariners, and the series-opening victory against these very same Toronto Blue Jays. I wish I could say […]
There has been a lot Andrew Painter has seen over their first month in the big leagues. He joined a contending team that got off to an uneven 8-8 start, then lost ten straight, and one of the greatest managers in the history of the franchise got sacked not even 30 games into the season. […]
Friday night’s series opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates couldn’t have gone much worse for the Cincinnati Reds. First, they sat out a lengthy rain delay in PNC Park and eventually waded into a drubbing at the hands of the Bucs in cool temperatures, their arms and bats looking as soggy as the 9-1 scoreline. Brady […]
The Mets and backup catcher Luis Torrens have agreed to a two-year, $11.5 million contract extension that covers the 2027 and 2028 seasons, per Will Sammon of The Athletic. If he hadn’t agreed to a deal, the 30-year-old was slated to hit free agency following the 2026 season. Torrens joined the Mets on May 31, […]
Saturday notes… Cubs lineup: Diamondbacks lineup: Shōta Imanaga, LHP vs. Ryne Nelson, RHP Shōta Imanaga was a little off his game Sunday against the Dodgers, allowing five runs in 5.1 innings. One positive: He did not allow a home run and this year he’s given up just three long balls in 34.1 innings, a vast […]

Today’s game is a 2:00 starts. It made it nice for me, I could enjoy the Newcastle United win without leaving it at the end. I haven’t had enough Newcastle wins this year. Andrés Giménez isn’t in the lineup again today. After yesterday’s error, I was wondering if he was 100%. He didn’t look right. […]
The Dodgers have lost three games in a row for the first time this season, their overall record Staind due partly because it’s been a while since they last hit a home run. Shohei Ohtani last Sunday in the seventh inning homered off Chicago Cubs reliever Hoby Milner, which snapped Ohtani’s 59-plate-appearance gap without a […]
Listen now | Game 7 Preview
The NL East leading Atlanta Braves, who have a 7.5 game lead and refuse to lose a series, have made a roster move before tonight’s game with the Colorado Rockies. Anthony Molina was helpful in last night’s come-from-behind win for the never-say-die, put-them-in-a-Walt-Weiss-sleeper-hold Braves. He pitched a scoreless sixth and seventh inning with a walk […]
Crumpet and Lobo love walks. Unfortunately, so do opposing batters and my dogs only wish they could get walked at the rate A’s pitchers are offering. It’s been an issue all season and not only does it continue to be a major barrier to success, it is a widespread phenomenon across all types and levels […]
Hickory starter Evan Siary went 5.2 IP, allowing four runs, striking out six and walking three. Hector Osorio was 2 for 4. Yolfran Castillo, Daniel Flames and Paulino Santana each had a hit. Hickory box score J’Briell Easley started for Hub City, striking out one and walking two in two innings, allowing one run. Chandler […]

The San Diego Padres starting rotation will receive a boost to start next week when right-handed starter Griffin Canning will make his long-awaited Padres debut. With his rehab window coming to a close on Sunday, Canning will most likely make his last start with El Paso on that date and then join the team Monday. […]
