The Mariners took another two steps backwards over the weekend after such a promising start to their week last week. The 12-run outburst on Friday was very good to see but to follow that up by scoring two runs total over the final two games in Chicago was a huge let down. It feels like […]
After the Diamond Rebs upset no. 9 Texas A&M this past weekend, they will take on UT Martin in their final midweek contest of the season — one final tune up for the bats before an important road series against no. 18 Alabama. The Skyhawks are no. 237 in the RPI rankings with a 25-26 […]
First pitch is set for 4:05 p.m.
This was the 5th week of full minor league play (stats are entering play on Monday, May 11th). According to FanGraphs (which factors in age and proximity to the big leagues), 19-year old Caden Bodine has regained his spot as the top hitter spot in the Rays system. The backstop is proving to be too […]
I do my best to try and avoid ever thinking about the Tampa Bay Rays, but they have forced themselves upon my attention with some excellent play across the season’s first quarter. I’m writing this as Logan Henderson delivers his first pitch to Trent Grisham, and Tampa’s .658 winning percentage has them nominally atop the […]
The Cubs were the hottest team in baseball for most of the past week, winning their first five games of the week against the Reds and Rangers, the last five of their second 10-game winning streak of the year, which also extended their home winning streak to 15 (and an 18-5 record at Wrigley Field […]
Are these two teams evenly matched? Historically, yes. When these two teams met in the regular season, the Rangers won 32 games and the Diamondbacks won 31 games. Against all teams, they were nearly equal in runs scored per game (4.5 vs 4.6) and runs allowed per game (4.7 vs 4.6). Last Season, perhaps not. […]

Break out the brooms. UConn baseball (30-22, 13-5 Big East) completed its second sweep of the season on Sunday with a 7-3 win over the Seton Hall Pirates (15-28, 2-16). Designated hitter Chris Polemeni drove in five runs behind a third inning grand slam as part of a 2-5 day. Four other Huskies recorded multiple […]
The NFL announced their first Sunday Night Football matchup of the 2026 NFL season, and not a shock to anyone, it involved two NFC East rivals. We knew it would not be the Cardinals on any type of National Game early in the season, and while the Dallas Cowboys (7-9-1) and New York Giants (4-13) […]
The Twins had a 3-3 week, dropping two to the Nats, taking two from the Guardians, and currently sit last in the AL Central with an 18-23 record. First, the good news: after a slow start to the season, Byron Buxton is back to being a menace at the plate. Since April 13, Buxton has […]
MONDAY Carson Benge’s 436-foot homer off Tomoyuki Sugano is the Mets’ longest homer of the season thus far. The Mets only recorded four hits at Coors Field in their win. It was just the Mets’ third nine-inning game at Coors Field in which they’ve mustered four hits or fewer, with the other two both coming […]
The Detroit Lions traded up in the second-round of the 2026 NFL Draft to select Michigan edge defender Derrick Moore. They ended up moving six spots—from 50 to 44—and spending Pick 128 (their second fourth-round pick) to get there. It was a modest trade up of very fair value. But on Monday, the New York […]
The 2026 NFL schedule will be released this week on May 14th. The Seattle Seahawks, as defending Super Bowl champions already know that they will be kicking off the season on Wednesday, September 9th on NBC. Although there are rumors that the Seahawks opening night opponent will be the Chicago Bears, there is still nothing […]
Yariel Rodriguez will be with the team for tonight’s game. The team had an open spot on the 40-man roster, but there is no word on how they will free up a spot on the active roster. Rodriguez has thrown 13.2 innings, with 9 walks, 25 strikeouts and 7 hits, with a 2.63 ERA. I’m […]
2026 MLB Draft: Baseball America has released their latest mock draft — V.3.0 if you’re keeping track at home — and they have the Texas Rangers, at #16, selecting righthanded pitcher Cameron Flukey out of Coastal Carolina. Flukey is not someone who, coming into the season, would generally have been seen up to this point […]
When the Kansas City Royals hit the 2025/2026 offseason, they had a few items on their wish list. Generally, they were looking to shore up their outfield, which was a significant weakness for them. Specifically, they were on the hunt for three things: a right-handed bat to play against lefties, a starting left fielder, and […]
Former Nationals southpaw Mackenzie Gore certainly hasn’t gotten off to the greatest start in Texas. The 27-year-old who was long considered the future of the Washington rotation was dealt to the Rangers during the 2026 offseason, and the next step that so many analysts and fans believed he could take simply hasn’t come. He has […]
With two weeks left in the season, all of the Mountain West had some sort of playoff implications play out. UNLV and GCU made it interesting with San Jose State, as all three programs are within a game of each other after their series against Fresno State, New Mexico and San Diego State and are […]
The good news is that, unlike last week the Dodgers did hit a home run this week, eight of them in fact. But outside of two solid hitting games in Houston, the offense was mostly shut down in the other four games, leading to a split of six games against the Houston Astros and Atlanta […]
After an an eventful and emotional week for Braves Country, we’ve arrived at a well-deserved off day. The Braves will be back in action tomorrow night, kicking off the homestand with a series versus the Chicago Cubs. Tuesday’s shaping up to be an eventful opener. Ha-Seong Kim set to return to the majors, updates to […]
Tacoma Rainiers Tacoma squandered a series split with an extra-innings loss in Sunday’s contest, dropping the six game set by a score of 4-2. Despite the loss, the series still managed to provide plenty of outstanding performances offensively, perhaps providing a glimpse at a few bats that could be up with the Mariners awfully soon. […]
Another day of minor league baseball is in the books. See the results below. AAA: Sugar Land Space Cowboys (18-21) lost 5-4 (BOX SCORE) Sugar Land got on the board in the first inning on a Perez 3 run home run. Sugar Land got another run in the third inning on an Alexander RBI double. […]
The Milwaukee Brewers will enjoy what feels like their 20th off day on Monday in Milwaukee before hosting the San Diego Padres for three games beginning Tuesday evening. The Crew, coming off a big three-game sweep of the Yankees, is sitting at 22-16 on the season, tied with the Cardinals for second place in the […]
Memphis Redbirds 8, Toledo Mud Hens 1 (box) A day after scoring 13 runs the day before, the Toledo Mud Hens had just six hits in an 8-1 loss, ending the series with the Memphis Redbirds tied at three games apiece. Max Anderson and Andrew Navigato each had two hits, Ben Malgeri drove in the […]
