It was unfortunate to see the Yankees’ perfect 3-0 record go by the wayside. Obviously that was never going to last, but it was almost more annoying to lose a close game, even when the opponent is a tough one in Seattle. Ryan Weathers didn’t go very deep, the bullpen was exposed a bit with […]
The Arizona Cardinals filled many of their offensive line needs with good signings in the free agency period. The left guard spot is now solved with former Pittsburgh Steelers veteran Isaac Semualo coming to the desert. The right guard job is up for grabs and may or may not be resolved. RELATED: ROUGH DRAFT […]
It’s safe to say we are on the roller coaster ride that is the baseball season. This early season has been filled with ups and downs. It’s fun that no matter how baseball changes, how many ways we can analyze it, it’s still a lot the same game. Oh sure, if this were 50 or […]
It’s really difficult to make any concrete assertions about a baseball team after only four games. Sure, these games make the term “lethargic” look positively energetic, but even in the most negative point of view, there isn’t really much we can tell about this team yet. The only thing these games have done is reinforced […]
Opening Day of Major League Baseball is one of the best days on the sports calendar. Its even more sweet when you can turn it on to take your eyes away from the brutal sweep that was happening in Oxford this past weekend. Nonetheless, when you have a program that has succeeded at the level […]
Jacob deGrom will start for the Texas Rangers tonight against the Baltimore Orioles, the team announced this morning. deGrom was originally scheduled to start this past Saturday in Philadelphia against the Phillies. He woke up that morning with a stiff neck, however, and with it being a blustery 45 degree day, the Rangers opted to […]

So the Red Sox offense so far is… ah, not great. Roman Anthony, Jarren Duran, Willson Contreras, Trevor Story, and Ceddanne Rafaela are all carrying an OPS below .700. Caleb Durbin is carrying an OPS below the gates of hell. But all is not lost offensively, thanks the prodigious play of Wilyer Abreu. Following his […]
It was not a great opening weekend for the Omaha Storm Chasers, as they played on the road, against the Louisville Bats and were swept. The Bats are the AAA affiliate for the Cincinnati Reds. The Storm Chasers lost a pair of one run games, 2-1 and 6-5 (in 10 innings), but were routed in […]
Game Recaps Soroka’s 10 K’s – and immaculate inning – pave way to win in home opener by Steve Gilbert [Dbacks.com] A sellout crowd greeted the Diamondbacks on a festive night that featured a triple and homer from Corbin Carroll and a stellar Arizona debut for Michael Soroka, who recorded the fourth immaculate inning in franchise history. And […]
Well of course the A’s would begin their 2026 season with a four game skid. The first season sine 2021 that had any bit of real promise behind it, albeit with plenty of caveats. It’s almost like they’ve been spooked. I don’t know by what, but maybe the stage they found themselves on last Friday, […]
If you watched any of the Little League World Series in the late 2000s, you will recall the number of times you saw Chien-Ming Wang listed as a favorite player. The legend began 46 years ago today in Taiwan’s oldest city, long before he became a household name in New York or a symbol of […]
Happy Tuesday! We were treated to our first walk-off of 2026 last night after a single from Cal Raleigh slipped past first base and scored Leo Rivas from third. Another stellar pitching performance featured six innings from Luis Castillo with no runs, two hits, and seven strikeouts. The bullpen largely did their job, and Matt […]
MLB Rumors: Colt Emerson and the Seattle Mariners have agreed to terms on an 8 year, $95 million deal, per reports. This is the largest contract ever for a player under team control who has yet to play in the major leagues. Emerson, a shortstop who doesn’t turn 21 until July, was the 22nd overall […]
The Detroit Tigers floundered in the opening game of their road series against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night, as Justin Verlander was anything but in vintage form in the team’s 9-6 loss. They will get another shot on Tuesday night in the desert behind their former No. 1 draft pick, Casey Mize, who opens […]
Through four games of the 2026 season, the San Diego Padres have managed a grand total of nine runs scored, while allowing 16 runs to the Detroit Tigers and the San Francisco Giants. The Padres dropped the series opener to the Giants at Petco Park on Monday 3-2, but the score makes the game appear […]
Happy Tuesday, Red Sox Nation. After last night’s ass-whooping at the hands of the Houston Astros, our beloved Red Sox fall to 1-3. I don’t know about you, but the offense feels like it’s been slumping for weeks, even though it’s only four games. Baseball season is a grind, though, and nobody wins 162 games […]
Tonight’s Phillies game will feature one of the most anticipated MLB debuts in recent memory, at least for Philadelphia baseball fans. Top pitching prospect Andrew Painter will finally make his long awaited MLB debut, nearly three years after it was originally anticipated thanks to a torn UCL and Tommy John surgery. The Phillies went into […]
I’ve come to think of Bryce Elder the last couple of years as Chunky Woody Harrelson. Not fat, just broad-shouldered with a full, kind face. I have noticed this season that he’s added the beard. He does appear to be slimmer. As a blogger with a terminal case of dad bod, I know how helpful […]
