For the Arizona Cardinals, this is a critical draft. […]
Well, the Orioles did what they needed to do and won their series against the worst team in the American League. But it sure as heck wasn’t easy. The O’s took the rubber game in Kansas City, 8-6, behind a six-run explosion in the top of the sixth, then held on for dear life to […]

Detroit Tigers infielder Colt Keith is rolling in the early going of the 2026 season, and after two years of incredibly slow starts to seasons, that’s a positive development. On the other hand, Keith’s hot hand early on has led to a lot of frustration in the fanbase with the fact that manager AJ Hinch […]

Sometimes one run is all it takes. That was the case for the San Diego Padres yesterday in their win over the Colorado Rockies. It was, by far, the lowest scoring game at Coors Field ever, with only one run being tallied in the hitter-friendly park. Both starters had it working, but it was Randy […]
A day after ending the losing streak, Kansas City got into a back-and-forth battle with Baltimore. The scoring started early with both teams getting a first inning bomb. Pete Alonso hit an opposite field home run for Baltimore and Vinnie crushed one for the Royals. Baltimore’s was worth two though, and so they lead 2-1 […]
There was a lot of discussion around the “final” mock draft I put out earlier today, so I wanted to at least give you the one I had originally planned on publishing as my “final”, until changing my mind and going a different direction last minute. The algorithm here is the same, using the same […]
Matthew Boyd spent about two weeks on the injured list with a biceps issue. The left-hander made one rehab start in which he struck out six and was deemed ready to return. So, the Cubs activated Boyd from the 15-day injured list this afternoon and he will start tonight’s game against the Phillies. To make […]
Houston Astros owner Jim Crane has said time and time again that as long as he’s in charge, the championship window will always be open. It’s a bold statement, and one that carries a lot of weight in a city that has grown accustomed to winning. But what does that actually mean in 2026? Is the window […]
When the idea of the Automated Ball-Strike system was introduced, it was impossible to count the number of baseball fans who thought it would be a good idea. Every baseball fan has had to deal with their team getting robbed in a big moment by a bad call. Whether it was a strike well below […]
TV: NESN First Pitch: 6:45 p.m. ET The Red Sox should believe in Ranger Suárez after a pair of improved starts. Ultimately, that won’t matter unless they can score for him. The Yankees shut out the Red Sox on Tuesday night for the first time at Fenway Park since 2020. Now, Boston returns to action […]

Houston got on the board fast against Guardians starter Tanner Bibee. […]
Just three games for the San Francisco Giants Minor League Baseball affiliates on Tuesday, as AAA Sacramento once again saw their game postponed due to poor weather.

The Mets have officially reinstated Juan Soto from the injured list, and he’ll serve as designated hitter and bat second tonight as the Mets face Twins left-handed pitcher Connor Prielipp. In a corresponding move, the Mets optioned catcher Hayden Senger to Triple-A Syracuse. The team had previously been carrying three catchers—Francisco Alvarez, Luis Torrens, and […]
Having won the first two games of this series against the Seattle Mariners, the first-place Athletics enter this afternoon’s matchup at T-Mobile Park seeking to complete the series sweep and extend their road winning streak to eight games. It’s still early, but a road sweep of the defending division champion would signal that Mark Kotsay’s A’s are not […]
The Rays were looking to wrap up their home series against the Reds by avoiding the series sweep. To get there, they had Nick Martinez on the mound up against Brandon Williamson for the Reds. This sets up the delightful situation where we will see Williamson vs Williamson at-bats. TJ Friedl kicked off the first […]
While a lot of the regulars for the Braves have started to really get going at the plate, there are still a smal handful of players who are scuffling about while looking to finally get a foothold on this current season of baseball. One of those regulars is Mike Yastrzemski, who has gotten off to […]

The Red Storm used a strong fourth inning to overcome their early deficit before putting Rutgers away by scoring five runs in the final two innings. Chase Krewson and […]
Former Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur will be feeling the Arizona heat more than usual as his Cardinals try to right the ship in the 2026 NFL draft. The Cardinals and LaFleur will be under extreme pressure to nail the draft, or risk falling further behind their NFC West rivals. Arizona finished 3-14 […]
Picture this. A player with unfathomable power who obliterates every ball he makes contact with and a decent understanding of the strike zone. Picture that player also with a very steep bat path that creates a massive hole in his swing that makes them extremely prone for in-zone whiffs, to the point where they can […]
Game Summary The Marlins jump Leahy for an early 2-0 with death by a thousand cuts singles with too many walks sprinkled in. The Cardinals come out swinging against Junk (literally and figuratively), but muster only a weak single against him. Leahy labors through 5 innings, giving up 8 hits, 3 walks, 1 HBP and […]
