In the preview, I noted that Kade Anderson would face a real test with the top third of the Dodgers lineup tonight, and his results were like my typical attempts to pick up women: 0 for 3. Miguel Rojas led off with a double off the 410 marker on the centerfield wall. Anderson then tried […]
The lights went out at Taylor Stadium for 95 minutes. In sync, so were Missouri baseball’s chances of generating a late comeback in its 2-0 loss to No.6 Auburn in its SEC home opener at Taylor Stadium Friday evening. By the time the bulbs had flickered back on, a window for a Missouri rally had […]
The Dodgers poured it on with a six-run sixth against the Mariners in a 10-7 Cactus League win in Peoria Friday night. Yency Almonte nearly blew the victory with a three-run ninth, but the cushion the Dodgers created early kept them ahead. The warm night in Arizona helped three home run balls fly high for […]
There were two quarterfinals games this evening. One was a blowout. The other was a nail-biter. USA 5, Canada 3 Team USA jumped out to a 5-0 lead until their bats went cold, but they hung on for a 5-3 win over Canada. The US team got a run in the top of the first […]
The Big 12 schedule provided an opportunity for Arizona to start fresh after a rough preseason. But for much of their first league game, the Wildcats looked headed for more of the same. Then came the 9th inning. Arizona scored four times in the top of the 9th, tying the game on a 3-run home […]
The Athletic | Brendan Kuty: Having missed all of last season after undergoing Tommy John surgery, Gerrit Cole is on the comeback trail. The Athletic got a chance to shadow him as he worked out as part of his ongoing rehab, getting a look into the mad man — I say with affection — that […]
An action-packed third inning from Mizzou Softball, along with a strong two-way performance from Stefania Abruscato, against Minnesota helped it secure a 8-1 win to begin the Mizzou Bye-Week Series on a high note.

It was an auspicious start on Friday night in Haymarket Park. After taking batting practice and being announced in the starting lineup, short stop Dylan Carey was pulled from the lineup.

According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the Indianapolis Colts have signed Chicago Bears free agent safety and key special teamer Jonathan Owens to bolster their depleted positional depth: Originally signed as an undrafted free agent of the Arizona Cardinals in 2018, the 5,‘11”, 204 pound safety has played for the Houston Texans, Green Bay Packers, […]
On Monday, we asked which Rockie you thought was having the best WBC and who you were rooting for to win. Last night, we asked who you think will win the whole thing. Today, I present you the results from Monday’s poll: The majority of fans believe that INF Willi Castro. Castro has gone 3-f0r-10 […]
Neither Maryland baseball nor Purdue held a lead larger than two runs Friday until the eighth inning. After the Boilermakers tied up the game in the seventh, the Terps inserted sophomore Logan Hastings at the mound with hopes of successfully closing out the final two innings. But the opposite happened. Two walks and a single […]
Well, if you’re the sort of fan who enjoys watching Pedro Martinez take on Ronald Acuna Jr. with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th with two out and a 3-run lead, the Huskers wrote you a pretty good script. And with Huskers basketball using another lackluster first half in cruising to a […]

The Kade Anderson Revolution will be televised. Tonight’s match-up against the Dodgers will be broadcast on SNLA, and it’s an evening game, so you might even get to watch it. Of course, it’s up against the WBC Quarterfinals, so maybe your attention will be divided. The Mariners are mostly going with the B-Squad for tonight’s […]
The WBC Quarterfinals start tonight, including Team USA facing off against Team Canada. But if you can tear your eyes away from that, you can see the debut of Eric Hosmer on the Royals TV broadcast in Surprise, Arizona. It should be a good time. Here’s the lineup: Speaking of team USA in the WBC, […]
A few days ago, I took a microscope and a fine comb to some Cactus League stats for the San Francisco Giants hitters. Today it’s time to do the same thing, except for the pitchers. The goal is simple: take data that’s already too small to be meaningful, and split it into even smaller, less […]
Well you can’t win ‘em all. The A’s dropped one and won one on Friday afternoon when they split up and played two different games. Surprisingly, the half that had all the regulars fell to the San Diego Padres by a 13-9 final, while the other half, which featured mostly bench players and prospects, came […]
Box Score It’s a good thing these games don’t count yet. The Milwaukee Brewers struggled through a 13-4 loss to the Athletics in Cactus League play, with some poor defense causing a lot of the problems. Kyle Harrison got the start and pitched in five innings. He’s the first Brewers starter to get five “ups” […]

Let’s just call it a technical knockout: The White Sox have reasserted their dominance over the rival Cubs. Friday’s win, their third straight this spring over the ivy bumblers and first at Camelback Ranch, was the most pedestrian of the bunch; in other words, the White Sox clobbered only two homers in this one vs. […]

The Cubs didn’t send too many regulars to Glendale to face the White Sox — Michael Busch, Miguel Amaya (back from the WBC) and Moisés Ballesteros were the only ones among 40-man roster players, and Michael Conforto and Chas McCormick among the non-roster guys trying to make the team. Plus, it was basically a bullpen […]
The Cincinnati Reds are playing a pair of Cactus League games on Friday evening down in the desert of Arizona, but neither of those games are televised. What is televised this fine Friday evening, however, is more World Baseball Classic action. Down in Miami, the Dominican Republic will play South Korea, with the DR serving […]
