It’s about that time in spring where the real games start to get close, we’ve seen everyone take the field for a few weeks, and some surprise names have had hot starts while others are working off the rust. The Yankees are making their roster decisions on a near-daily basis, whittling down their invitee list […]
Something expected happened. Just as Kyler Murray was finally released by the Arizona Cardinals, the Minnesota Vikings signed him to a one-year deal during the free agency period. He signed for the $1.3 million veteran minimum. Murray will compete for the starting job against J.J. McCarthy who has disappointed since he was selected 10th overall […]
The Pittsburgh Pirates are fleshing out what their roster is going to look like when the regular season rolls around, and one pitcher could find himself on the final roster after Spring Training. Lefty Hunter Barco might be on the outside looking in right now, but he could end up being the last man in […]
The Notre Dame and college football off-season used to be a lot different, but that was a long time ago. Once conference expansion mania started in 2010, the off-season has been one big clusterbomb of strangeness. It started with conference expansion, then it moved to a college football playoff, then the NIL and transfer portal […]
Hello friends, this is another #Laterecap (#Latercap? What do we like?) as your lovely blogueuse (thanks, Duolingo) is en route back to Seattle. Today was my last day in camp, and I’m sad to be leaving just as players are coming back from the WBC, but also so happy to have gotten to connect with […]
Box Score The pitching staff put together a strong performance on Thursday night. Unfortunately, the offense couldn’t get anything going against the Guardians’ pitchers, and the Brewers lost their third straight game 1-0. That one run was allowed by DL Hall in the first inning. He walked Chase DeLauter with one out, then threw a […]
Introduction It’s easy to dismiss Spring Training statistics. There are legitimate excuses about pitchers experimenting with different grips, situations, or just not concentrating as hard as they might during the regular season. If you layer those reasons on top of the typically ridiculously small sample sizes, I can understand why fans might wave away both […]
The White Sox and Giants kept the game low-scoring and close all evening, which in turn made it harder for me to keep my eyes open. And all for nothing, as it ended in a tie. Here is the breakdown for a mostly uneventful game: The first run Trevor McDonald has allowed this spring went […]
The Atlanta Braves continued spring play on Thursday, losing 5-2 to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Despite the score, it was a fantastic day for Grant Holmes, who got the start and turned in a lights-out performance. Holmes threw five hitless innings, striking out nine and walking just one Pirate. This run continues a productive spring training […]
CBS News | RotoWire: Yankees ace Gerrit Cole completed a 35-pitch live batting practice session on Thursday. Per the YES Network’s Jack Curry, the pitcher and the team will likely discuss the possibility of him pitching in a Grapefruit League game. He will throw again in six days, so there’s a chance he makes a […]
The Dodgers didn’t have to worry about being in an another offensive onslaught in their second matchup of the spring against the Cincinnati Reds, as they struck early and kept their foot on the gas pedal in a 9-5 victory on Thursday. The Dodgers pounced early against left-hander Nick Lodolo, as Andy Pages rocketed a […]
A dangerous quarterback has just let the NFC West. Kyler Murray was released by the Arizona Cardinals and signed with the Minnesota Vikings. Many NFL fans have their complaints with Murray. His career started off with a bang before he and Kliff Kingsbury ran out of steam. Kingsbury was fired two years ago. Since Murray […]

Since Major League Baseball began tracking spring training stats in 2006, no player had stolen more than 16 bases in a single spring. Until now. In the second inning of Thursday’s Grapefruit League game against the Twins, Red Sox minor league outfielder Braiden Ward set a new record by swiping his 17th bag of the … Continue reading "Red Sox’ Braiden Ward sets spring training stolen base record"
It’s been two steps forward, one step back of late for Arizona. Following a terrible start to the season, the Wildcats showed signs of life by winning two of three in a tournament in Las Vegas only to come home and lose to Grand Canyon. They swept Fresno State last weekend at Hi Corbett Field […]

Happy 312 Day, Sox fans! Prior to tonight’s game, the team shared photos from the Los White Sox mural at Midway Airport, which spans 13,600 square feet. The White Sox look to bounce back after two straight losses in a rare late-night Spring Training matchup. It might be a tough hill to climb, though, as […]
Grant Holmes went into this evening’s spring training start against the Pittsburgh Pirates having not given up a single run across two starts and three appearances. He’s now up to three starts and four appearances without giving up a run so far through spring training and his fourth appearance here in camp was probably the […]
