The Arizona Cardinals spent a lot on the offensive side of the ball this offseason, and didn’t do much to help a porous defense. Well, to start out the day they added a really intriguing defensive prospect in round four of the 2026 NFL Draft, taking Kaleb Proctor out of Southeastern Louisiana. The 6-2 291lbs […]
I guess the headline says it, Nathan Lukes hits the IL with a left hamstring strain. Yohendrick Piñango gets the call up. Yimi Garcia was moved to the 60-day IL to make room for Yohendrick. Piñango is hitting .288/.370/.488 with 3 home runs in 22 games. He is a left-handed batter and also throws left-handed. […]
The Detroit Tigers dropped their series opener against the Cincinnati Reds, 9-8, in a walk-off on Friday night after building an early lead and sitting through a two-hour rain delay. On Saturday, they look to even things up behind right-hander Jack Flaherty. Opposite him on the mound for Cincinnati is fellow righty Brady Singer. Here’s […]
I was wrong. When the White Sox signed Munetaka Murakami to a two-year, $34-million deal, I immediately jumped to the conclusion that something was wrong with him. A cursory glance at his NPB stats snowballed into a statistical analysis on his hypothetical impact on the 2025 Sox before he even stepped foot in the batter’s […]
The Dodgers offense spent most of the last week wasting an incredible stretch by the starting rotation, coupled with a suddenly vulnerable bullpen having their worst week of the season. That fueled five losses over the last seven games, and now the Dodgers on Saturday turn to Roki Sasaki, the black sheep of the rotation […]
1951 White Sox slugger Eddie Robinson hit the first rooftop home run by a Chicago player at Comiskey Park. Robinson’s blast was off of Al Widmar of the Browns, in the third inning of an 8-6 White Sox win. It was the eighth all-time home run over the roof. Robinson hit 29 home runs that year and drove in 117 runs, […]
Cincinnati Reds slugger Eugenio Suárez was a late scratch from the Friday evening lineup in the team’s series opener in Great American Ball Park against the Detroit Tigers. Nathaniel Lowe – who eventually ended up swatting a walk-off dinger – was moved into the DH spot for the game, and the initial hope was that […]
Hickory starter Evan Siary went five innings, allowing a solo homer while walking one and striking out one. Paulino Santana went 2 for 5 with a homer. Hector Osorio went 1 for 3 with two walks. Yolfran Castillo went 2 for 4 with a walk. Marcos Torres was 2 for 4 with a homer. Daniel […]
The Orioles hit so many home runs last night that they put up a message on the video board that there were no more fireworks to be had. This turned out to not be the case in the most literal sense, as the small little post-victory burst of fireworks still went off. It was fun, […]
Great news — Brent Rooker’s recovery from an oblique strain is way ahead of schedule, so much so that the A’s hinted he could be activated as soon as during this series. With the day off Monday, perhaps the more likely outcome is that Rooker rejoins the team Tuesday when they return home to take […]
If I asked you to name a great single season from a player in Yankees’ history, you can probably come up with a few strong options. That player will probably also be a legend in franchise history. Feats like Joe DiMaggio’s 1941 with his 56-game hitting streak, Aaron Judge’s 62 homers in 2022, and Ron […]
Game time was moved up due to inclement weather. Can this be the shakeup that begins to turn things around for the Sox? We’ll just have to see how this plays out. How to Watch and Listen First pitch is at 12:05 PM ET on NESN and WEEI. Lineups
Overall, I think Blake Butera has done a solid job in his first few weeks as Nats manager. Sure, there are some bullpen decisions you could question, but he does not have many great options. However, I thought the Nats first year manager showed his inexperience in a big way last night. Clearly there was […]
The latest news on the Houston Astros and from around MLB: Some injury updates for the Astros: What’s behind Yordan’s smashing start? Lance McCullers tried something new to get a better start in the 1st inning. It didn’t work: How ugly was it for Lance McCullers Jr. vs. Yankees Friday? Only 5 swings and misses. […]
It’s actually a pretty unusual season when you don’t have a holy $#@! type of win. 10 game winning streaks? Quite a bit less common. Without doing any research, I’m betting the intersection of those two occurrences? A big comeback during a long streak? Less common. On the road? Against the two-time defending World Champs? […]
What a busy two days of drafting and calling players. But the Arizona Cardinals have done a good job selecting several players of need from this year’s NFL draft. Offense seems to be the word of the day, and if you are going to hire an offense-minded coach, well then, it is up to GM […]
Another day of minor league baseball is in the books. See the results below. AAA: Sugar Land Space Cowboys (14-10) won 5-2 (BOX SCORE) Sugar Land got on the board scoring a run in the 2nd inning on a Strahm RBI single and a run in the 3rd on an Alexander solo HR. Pecko got […]
There’s a new quarterback in town for the Pittsburgh Steelers. After the Arizona Cardinals kicked off the third round by selecting Carson Beck out of Miami, the Steelers selected Penn State’s Drew Allar 11 picks later. This sets up a quarterback competition of former Big Ten adversaries, as Allar and Will Howard will compete to […]
Diamondbacks News Diamondbacks-Padres Mexico City PreviewThe altitude is poised to play an important role in this division-rival clash. Mexico City’s Estadio Alfredo Harp Helú sits 7,349 feet above sea level. That substantially higher than even Coors Field, which has an elevation of “only” 5289 feet. Why Mexico City Series Might Spell Trouble for Zac GallenThe […]
Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles news and links … 2026 NFL draft trade grades: Sizing up deals for top picks – ESPNEagles grade: A- … Vikings grade: C … The veteran edge rusher immediately fills a need for Philadelphia, which needed more pass-rushing juice from the outside. Greenard is coming off an injury-shortened 2025 […]
Vincent Trocheck was held out of games this season because of how active trade talks were around him, so heading into the offseason, expect to see the New York Rangers once again taking calls. The Rangers are going to be retooling on the fly and know that Trocheck is likely their best trade asset to get back some players with high ceilings, and a ton of potential. Considering they won't be winning a Stanley Cup in the next three years, GM Chris Drury would be wise to maximize his return. Troch...
Zero points in 13 NHL games. Six recalls, six reassignments. The breakout that never came—and an RFA summer ahead.
WELCOME TO THE COLISEUM ALFONSO PÉREZ!!! The tiny home of Getafe in Madrid is the site of a big La Liga match between the hosts and leaders Barcelona, who come into this one looking for their first win away to Getafe in six years to stay in full control of the title race. This should […]
Good morning, LSB. The Rangers got thwomped by the A’s last night. Nathan Eovaldi allowed four homers in the loss and now leads the league in that category. Overall the debut of the Rangers’ red City Connect uniforms could’ve gone better. Elsewhere Jeff Wilson writes about Peyton Gray’s “dream moment” in his debut. A simple […]
We are now at the third and final day of the 2026 NFL Draft. This is firmly in “Who is that guy?” territory, even for some of the most fervent college football fans. For our former Tigers, it is an interesting time. Team needs and evaluations play a huge part in these later rounds, though […]
