First Pitch: 6:10 pm CDTTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN / WCCO 830 / The Wolf 102.9 FM / Audacy The Twins aren’t actually THAT far below .500, but when a Friday night home game feels like a road trip, “core” players are being optioned to Triple-A, and the Chicago White Sox are above you in the standings, it’s hard not […]
Chad Tracy hasn’t exactly shaken things up since taking charge of the Red Sox. But, my god, this man does love him some Mickey Gasper. Gasper and his ‘stache will once again bat second tonight, and this time he’ll do so as the catcher instead of the DH. That’s not the craziest call in the […]

The Seattle Mariners saw their four-year run of Vedder Cup dominance end last night, as the San Diego Padres blanked them 2-0 in a disappointing display that resembled many Friar victories this season: get a lead, then hand things to the bullpen and crush the final squirms of resistance. Today is a new opportunity, however, […]
The Iowa baseball team swept the Purdue Boilermakers, 15-9, on Saturday afternoon at Principal Park presented by 1-800-BETS OFF.
The Milwaukee Brewers will go for their fifth-straight series win this evening (not counting the 1-1 series split with St. Louis), as they’ll take on the Minnesota Twins following a come-from-behind victory last night. The Twins have lost six of their last eight series going back to mid-April. Young pitching will continue to be the […]
Well, I’m not going to say the “Mauricio Dubon leads off against lefties” experiment is over, but whatever the case may be, it’s at least on hiatus for tonight’s game against Payton Tolle and the Red Sox: Austin Riley is back hitting cleanup, and Michael Harris II has dropped to sixth. These all sort make […]
We could go through this game play by play and try to deeply analyze it, but they’ve lost six in a row. For the third straight game, the offense looked completely outmatched by a pitcher who has never shown the ability to dominate a lineup. So let’s just hit some highlights and then try to […]
If the St. Louis Cardinals season becomes something truly special later this year, you can look back to this weekend and recognize that this was that moment when the team and their fans kickstarted it all. The “Tarps Off Terrace” returned to Busch Stadium Saturday and the team responded with another victory over the overwhelmed […]
Here we go again. The Toronto Blue Jays' pitching staff has taken another big hit. They were forced to start the year without the injured Shane Bieber, Trey Yesavage and Jose Berrios. Soon after, Cody Ponce joined them, but he went down for the entire season. Max Scherzer has since joined them on the injured list as well. Only Yesavage has been able to return. Now, Berrios has gotten some brutal news on his injury, as he'll be forced to go under the knife. Jose Berrios to undergo elbow s...
There was once a time where saying the Cincinnati Reds are going to have Chris Paddack starting for them tonight would have inspired a big pile of confidence. Back before the 2019 season, for instance, he was rated as high as the #34 overall prospect in the sport by MLB Pipeline, was a consensus Top […]
Saturday notes… Cubs lineup: White Sox lineup: Jameson Taillon, RHP vs. Davis Martin, RHP Jameson Taillon threw well in his most recent start, Sunday at Texas, allowing only one run in 5.1 innings. Best of all, he didn’t give up a long ball in that game, just the second time this year he’s done that. […]
White Sox 8, Cubs 3: What the heck, Jameson Taillon?!?!?!? 2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 46 Cubs vs. White Sox, Saturday 5/16, 6:10 CT live! Chicago Cubs vs. Chicago White Sox preview, Saturday 5/16, 6:10 CT
Blue Jays 2 Tigers 1 (10 innings) Jays, I clearly asked for more than two runs today. But…..we won. I hate bullpen days……but they seem to work. The Jays game up just one run, on seven hits, with 14 strikeouts. It is tough to argue with success. The Jays used six pitchers: Offensively? We did […]
After struggling with pitching and run prevention all year long, Maryland baseball defied the odds and secured just its second conference series victory of the season. Redshirt junior Devin Russell launched two home runs, and sophomore Paul Jones II added one of his own. Sophomores Logan Hastings and Lance Williams dominated on the mound, combining […]
Texas Rangers lineup for May 16, 2026: starting pitchers are Jacob deGrom for the Rangers and Kai-Wei Teng for the Astros. Texas plays the Astros in Houston again tonight, and will valiantly try to get more than one hit this time. Corey Seager is out of the lineup due to back spasms. The lineup: Pederson […]

Casey Mize returned in fine form in this one, but the Detroit Tigers remain hamstrung offensively. The Toronto Blue Jays are having similar issues, but they pulled this one out in the tenth against Tyler Holton, and Louis Varland closed out the Tigers to even the series at a game apiece on Saturday afternoon. Saturday’s […]
Go Rays!
Where to watch: MASN/MASN+ or FS1 (National) Probable pitchers: RHP Chris Bassitt (3-2, 5.21 ERA, 26 K) vs. RHP Cade Cavalli (1-2, 4.02 ERA, 44 K) After an incredibly unlucky night for the offense on Friday, the Orioles look to even this season’s first Battle of the Beltways series tonight in DC. Most of Birdland […]
The Mets officially placed starter Clay Holmes on the 15-day IL after suffering a fractured fibula in last night’s game against the Yankees. To take his place on the roster, the Mets called up right-handed reliever Joey Gerber from Triple-A to take his spot on the roster. Holmes suffered the fractured fibula in the fourth […]
