Is it on TV? Sure is. First pitch is on NESN at 1:05. What’s the lineup? What should we watch for? Ranger Suárez hasn’t pitched much this spring. And when he has, he hasn’t been all that good. It’s March, so no one should be freaking out, but it would definitely be nice to see […]

As we prepare to watch the San Francisco Giants embark on its 144th season in franchise history, it’s important to keep in mind one very important fact: the team has never had five consecutive losing seasons. That makes a lot of sense for a franchise that has won more games than any other team in […]
The past 15-20 years of the San Francisco Giants’ existence has been a wild ride. The highs have obviously been quite high, with their three World Series titles in 2010, ‘12, and ‘14. While that run would often get a team a “dynasty” designation, it was hard to do that with the Giants, considering they […]
A week after the All-Star Break in 2005, the Houston Astros were swept in St. Louis. The loss dropped them two under .500 and for all intents and purposes, left them dead in the water. Some fourteen weeks later, they’d shock the baseball world, appearing in their first World Series. Tim Purpura was at the […]
LOS ANGELES — Spring training was a disaster for Roki Sasaki, but the Dodgers are showing incredible faith in the phenom to find some semblance of command once the games count for real. In three of his four Cactus League starts, Sasaki was removed in the middle of an inning that got away from him, […]
Well it’s here: the last game of Spring Training, as the Braves open their regular season on Friday in Atlanta against Kansas City. Grant Holmes gets his final spring tune-up, wrapping up what has been a strong and healthy spring for Grant. There was much concern about his health, given that he was shut down […]
The 2026 Major League Baseball season will reportedly begin tomorrow, March 25th, when the San Francisco Giants take on the New York Yankees in the hallowed grounds of the Bronx. (We all know the season doesn’t really begin until the next day when the Cincinnati Reds play host to the Boston Red Sox at Great […]
After a 3-1 record last week and a series win over Kentucky, Ole Miss hopped back into the nation’s top 25 just in time for a road trip to Memphis in the midweek. The No. 18 Rebels (19-6, 3-3 SEC) will faceoff with the Tigers (6-16, 1-2 AAC) at FedEx Park with a first pitch […]
Baseball history is full of great players. It is also full of players whose stories become intertwined with legends so large that they never quite stand on their own. Ernie Shore just happens to be one of those players. The former Yankee celebrates his birthday today, and while his career deserves recognition on its own, […]
The next step in profiling Seattle’s shot at defending their AL West throne, and a potential American League pennant bid, comes on the other side of the ball. Seattle’s pitching staff has the easiest task in the sport, in the sense that their hitters face the toughest task. T-Mobile Park, with its predictable dimensions, chilly […]
Outside of Edwin Díaz, the Mets’ bullpen proved to be volatile last year. While a number of factors contributed to that reality, one of David Stearns’ goals this offseason was to strengthen the relief corps. He started that process when he signed closer Devin Williams to a three-year deal, but he followed that up a […]
The Phillies’ starting rotation was very good in 2025. They led the majors in wins above replacement and had the second lowest ERA (with the lowest FIP). They also had quality depth, as they were able to withstand injuries to Zack Wheeler and Aaron Nola that caused them to miss large chunks of the season. […]
Barcelona continue to be linked with moves for Alessandro Bastoni and Julian Alvarez in the summer transfer window, with the rumor mill seemingly adamant both players will arrive at Camp Nou. A new report from Diario Sport claims that Deco sees both players as “essential signings” and will prioritise bringing in the duo during the […]
In a really sad piece of news, the Nationals announced that Josiah Gray has been placed on the 60-Day IL with a Flexor Strain. This is a crushing setback for Gray, who has missed pretty much all of the last two seasons due to Tommy John. Now, the right hander is dealing with yet another […]
The long night of the offseason is approaching its conclusion! Pitchers and catchers report to the Tampa spring training complex in nine days as of the time that this post goes up, and we’ll have exhibition games beginning on February 20th against the Orioles. Opening Day in San Francisco is just over a month after […]

The outfield was a problem for the Orioles last year. Early-season injuries to Colton Cowser and Tyler O’Neill meant that the team rarely had their “first string” options all available at the same time. This did allow Ramón Laureano to break out and become a valuable trade chip, but the rest of the replacements struggled […]
Happy Tuesday! The Mariners concluded this year’s Spring Training with a 3-10 loss to the San Diego Padres, but a solid outing from starter Luis Castillo was one of the game’s highlights. Castillo pitched five innings and only gave up one run on four hits with five strikeouts. We are just two sleeps away from […]
