The Dodgers added a new wrinkle to their uniforms on Thursday, announcing that they will wear blue jerseys as a road alternate jersey. Unlike the “Los Dodgers” city connect uniforms the team used in 2021-23 which were also blue but from head to toe for the first two years, these new blue road jerseys will […]

In baseball, you truly never know where a big hit or game will change the expected outcome between teams going in different directions like Ole Miss and No. 21 Florida. Brayden Randle smacked his second home run of the year, and Cannon Goldin went 2/2 with an RBI to help power Ole Miss’ offense past […]

The New York Yankees have completed their first road trip of the 2026 season, and while it’s definitely too early to take any bit of data too seriously, these six games leave us with some important takeaways. The most important one is reflected in the standings, as the Yanks boast the best record in the […]
The Royals are underway — and the early storylines are already taking shape.

For more on the Guardians, here’s Quincy Wheeler, manager of the SB Nation Guardians site Covering The Corner. Hello Cubs fans! Welcome to […]
Well, that series against the Yankees exposed some of the lingering issues with the Mariners roster, as currently constructed. Left-handed pitching is going to be a huge problem for this extremely lefty-heavy lineup throughout the season, and there really isn’t much relief in sight — J.P. Crawford is back from his brief IL stint but […]
As of last night, the Double-A Chesapeake season got under way. The highest-level Orioles affiliate that you don’t have to leave Maryland to watch is always a place with prospects to watch, at least as long as the Orioles farm system is well-stocked with prospects worth watching. This affiliate had a lot going for it […]

March has come to a close and April is springing into the Upper Midwest this weekend with very springlike weather. While that may shift some games times of the Gophers outdoor sports like baseball and softball later this weekend, it gives others a great chance to get comfortable on the coach and take in some […]
The San Diego Padres needed a win like Wednesday afternoon’s. As the Padres bludgeoned the San Francisco Giants, 7-1, to salvage the series finale, they finally put together an offense that matched what it looks like on paper. The club (after only recording nine extra-base hits going into Wednesday’s contest) had five XBH, including four […]
The Cincinnati Reds searched for a way to get lefty Nick Lodolo a rehab start on Thursday, doing so while also trying to dodge any of the adverse weather conditions that led to his initial blister flare-up in the first place. The lefty’s blister issue first became a problem down in Arizona late in spring […]
San Diego Padres Craig Stammen began his managerial tenure, winning only twice during the opening six-game homestand. For all the Spring Training talk, Stammen and company had very little to celebrate in the first week of the 2026 season. Offensive woes continue in 2026 No question, the offensive production is a bit slow out of […]
The San Diego Padres limped to a 2-4 record to start the 2026 season with two three-game sets against the Detroit Tigers and San Francisco Giants.

The offense […]
When a creative attacking player joins Atlético Madrid, it can often seem a gamble. Faced with the intensity of a coach who demands that his team operates as a unit, in attack or in defence, some players withdraw, lose interest, grow frustrated. But others thrive. In the case of Ademola Lookman, it most definitely the […]
The middle game of Dodgers-Nationals has the latest game time of the weekend, with a 4:05 p.m. local time start at Nationals Park in Washington D.C. Tyler Glasnow makes his second start of the season after allowing two runs in six innings with six strikeouts against the Arizona Diamondbacks last Saturday at Dodger Stadium. This […]
If you have been reading this series, you know that we started at 48 wins because that is the generally recognized replacement level. From there, we added 20 wins for the lineup, ten wins for the rotation, and five wins for the bullpen. It might seem like an arbitrary number for each, but that is […]
Oklahoma City lost in walk-off fashion on Thursday night, but for the first time this season they did not have the Dodgers minor league stage to themselves. Tulsa and its many prospects got off on the right foot, and Ontario ushered in a new stadium with plenty of pomp and circumstance. Among the Dodgers contingent […]
