This season was a lot of fun, and the last week of the conference schedule was a prime example of that. Even though the Aztecs were not playing with much on the line at all, it is still impressive to see UNLV win the series and finalize their spot in Arizona with it. And even […]
Great news: Gavin Sheets is not (any longer) on the White Sox. He can’t hurt you anymore. Bad news: If you’re reading this, you’re probably going to be watching some more Mariners baseball. If you told me in January that the Mariners would be one game out of the Wild Card and just two games […]
After winning the first 2 games of the series against the Orioles, the Nationals squandered their opportunity to push above the .500 mark in a 7-3 loss in the series finale. They now have another chance to accomplish that, as they’re set to square off against the New York Mets in a 4-game series. The […]
Sal Stewart was drafted by the wrong team. He was taken by the Cincinnati Reds with the 32nd overall pick of the 2022 draft and has now graduated to become their starting first baseman But this guy would have been an instant fan favorite in Philadelphia. First off, I have a feeling Phillies fan would […]
The latest news on the Houston Astros and from around MLB: Jeremy Pena is looking forward to re-joining the Astros: Jake Meyers said he is ready to get back: Meanwhile, Jose Altuve is IL bound: While no two players or two injuries are identical, Brian McTaggart did give a reasonable case for how long Altuve […]
The Twins had a 3-3 week (stop me if you’ve heard this before), taking a 2-1 series against the Marlins, which included an incredible Bailey Ober “Maddux”, and then dropping two games to the Brewers during “Rivalry Weekend” in the MLB. We might have seen the last of Matt Wallner in a Twins uniform after […]
It’s Hoover time ladies and gents. One of the best events in all of college sports gets underway on Tuesday and besides the regular shenanigans that can go on in a tournament of this caliber, Mother Nature is set to have a say in this one. For Ole Miss, the path could not have been […]
The Jays start a four-game series with the Yankees at Yankee Stadium tonight. Tonight it is Patrick Corbin (1-1, 3,93) vs. Ryan Weathers (2-2, 3.00). Tuesday: Dylan Cease (3-1, 2.41) vs. Will Warren (5-1, 3.42). Wednesday: Trey Yesavage (1-1, 1.40) vs. Cam Schlittler (6-1, 1.35) Thursday: Bullpen Day, likely with Spencer Myles (1-0, 2.55) doing […]
The pitching’s a mess and the lineup is a disappointment. Which team am I talking about? Arizona has just 3 more home runs as a team than the Giants (40 to 37) and a sub-average offensive production (95 wRC+). That’s with Corbin Carroll having an MVP-caliber start to the season, a resurgent Nolan Arenado, a […]
Happy Monday, TOC! Men’s Baseball will be the No. 12 seed in the 2026 Big Ten Conference Baseball Tournament that starts Tuesday, May 19 in Omaha, Nebraska. They’ll open against No. 5 Purdue at 10AM EST on Tuesday in the double-elimination tournament. Men’s Golf will see two seniors, Caleb Bond and Ashton McCulloch, play in […]
Reggie Jackson arrived at Yankee Stadium on October 18, 1977 with a chip on his shoulder. In part, it was because that was his natural state. But he had something in particular to prove that day. Despite winning a trio of championships — and the 1973 World Series MVP — in Oakland, he had yet […]
Well, maybe it wasn’t a phantom IL stint after all? The Red Sox have reported that Trevor Story, rather than battling a minor “groin issue,” has a sports hernia that could require surgery, keeping him out for up to ten weeks. Though for what it’s worth, Story himself sounds a little hesitant: “We’re still unsure, […]
The Cubs just completed a 3-6 road trip. They were outscored 41-33 and those numbers are only that “good” because the first game of the trip was a 7-1 win over the Rangers. After that they were shut out twice and had some bullpen failures. Hopefully, some home cooking this week will help them get […]
Welcome back to Monday Stat Party, a weekly series showcasing some of the most curious and nostalgia-inducing statistical developments from the past week of Mets baseball. What unites each entry is the sense of intrigue which they aim to spark, and the unbridled love of the game’s anomalies from which they arise. Without further ado, […]
Clemson didn’t have to completely rebuild their roster as they did a year ago, but it was clear they needed to improve their outside shooting and replace key post players that were major contributors a year ago. Before we dive into the Tigers’ portal class, let’s set the context with who is leaving and which […]

It’s back to facing off against the usual suspects for the Atlanta Braves, as their 2026 train now rolls into familiar territory for the next week of baseball action. This includes four games with the Marlins in Miami and three games at home against the Nationals. This is certainly a golden chance for the Braves […]
Tacoma Rainiers Tacoma managed to take the series by a score of 4-2 this week, besting Houston’s lackluster affiliate in Cheney Stadium. With a healthy amount of turmoil present within the major league roster, expect several of these Rainier players to be shuttling up to Seattle sooner than later. In case you missed the news […]
Clemson added San Francisco transfer David Fuchs, giving Brad Brownell another experienced, physical frontcourt piece as the Tigers reload for another NCAA Tournament push
HOOVER, Ala. – Mizzou baseball is set to open SEC Tournament play on Tuesday morning in its first-round matchup versus 17th-ranked and No. 9 seed Ole Miss at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium. The game will be televised live on SEC Network with first pitch scheduled for 9:30 a.m. CT.
A few days ago, MLB Pipeline updated their top 100 list, and for some reason, Devin Fitz-Gerald did not feature. They must regret that decision right now because the 20 year old Fitz-Gerald has been playing like a no doubt top 100 prospect. In his last 10 games, Fitz-Gerald has 7 home runs for the […]
The Dodgers last week lost Blake Snell to the injured list, with the left-hander set for surgery this Tuesday to remove loose bodies in his left elbow. This came after Tyler Glasnow was sidelined the week before with back spasms. Losses on the field mounted too, including Monday and Tuesday to the San Francisco Giants, […]
This Week in Cougar Baseball: Mountain West Conference Tournament Week | 5/18/26
With the MLB Draft only about two months away I thought it would be good to examine the history of the players selected with the picks the Atlanta Braves have in the 2026 MLB Draft. With the Braves picking 26th overall for their second first round selection, I decided to start by looking at the […]
Just about anyone rooting for the New York Mets this season has been watching, waiting, and hoping that former All-Star Bo Bichette will break out at the plate and be himself. His first 46 games of 2026 are in the books, and the wait continues. Bichette is coming off a brutal Subway Series, during which […]
