The New York Rangers , once it became apparent that they were not going to re-emerge as playoff contenders this season, had a grand plan of going into the coming offseason and landing a couple of big fish in the free agent pool. But unfortunately for them, and every other team that had plans on taking a big swing in free agency, nearly every top pending UFA has already re-signed on big extensions with their own teams. The only real "big name" left — and that's assuming he als...
For the second straight series, the Dodgers were on the cusp of a sweep but dropped the finale again. This time it was the Texas Rangers avoiding a sweep, stealing the final game by a final score of 5-2. It was another adventurous beginning for Roki Sasaki’s day on the mound, as he allowed a […]
The Texas Rangers scored five runs while the Los Angeles Dodgers scored two runs. In a game where it felt like the Rangers should have won by double-digits, they decided it would be more fun to keep you engaged all afternoon as they avoided a sweep at the hands of the defending champion Dodgers by […]
It’s hard to describe this game as anything other than… deflating. While the Rockies entered the day on the verge of being swept, they had also kept the Padres on their toes for three games coming off of a sweep of the Houston Astros at home. Today is where nothing really went right for the […]
We cracked open a mailbag with Josh Jacobs, he of the newly minted MLB.com credentials (pretty cool!), to answer a bunch of listener submitted questions. Scott and I jumped on with him (Jonathan was on assignment watching the Memphis Redbirds. Josh Baez smacked a homer in that game. Maybe Jonathan should be attached to all […]

The Braves, winners of their first two rubber matches of the regular season, will look to make it three in a row and stand alone as the last major league team to not lose a series this season when they host the Cleveland Guardians for Sunday Night Baseball. We could be in for quite a […]
Sunday afternoon at Wrigley Field was better than Saturday in every single way. First, the weather was more than 30 degrees warmer — 80 at game time, a nice day to have in mid-April. And the Cubs came from behind with good relief work and some excellent baserunning, tying the game in the eighth. Then […]
After a 1-5 home stand, the Nationals got off the mat in a big way with a sweep in Milwaukee. The Nats looked like the better team throughout the weekend series against a team that won 97 games last year and dominated the Nats in the season series. This was actually the Nats first sweep […]
It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! The third week of the season has seen the Yankees hit their first real snag of the season, as they dropped four of five games, including three straight, to cap off their first home stand of […]
The Red Sox have only six wins this season. We’re not dealing with a large sample size. Still, today felt like the “easiest” win of the season. The offense jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning with a home run off the bat of Willson Contreras and never looked back. They were […]
One way that the 2026 Orioles season continues to emulate the 2025 one is the way that injury news is a daily feature. Following Sunday’s 6-2 win over the Giants, O’s manager Craig Albernaz provided updates on three players who have recently had issues pop up: Ryan Mountcastle, Tyler O’Neill, and Adley Rutschman. O’Neill was […]
After a mostly ugly series at San Francisco, a return home to play the Arizona Diamondbacks should have helped get the Phillies back on track. But the ugly play largely continued against Arizona, and a slew of self-imposed mistakes caused the Phillies to lose the game – and the series – on Sunday by a […]
Box Score The Milwaukee Brewers found themselves on the wrong side of a few late-inning rallies by the Nationals on Sunday afternoon, as Washington put up six runs against Milwaukee’s bullpen to pick up a sweep and extend the Brewer losing streak to five. Brandon Woodruff started the afternoon out looking fantastic, setting the top […]
A stellar start by Cade Povich, supported by key contributions at the plate from the previously slumping Pete Alonso and Samuel Basallo, led the Orioles to a 6-2 win at Camden Yards on Sunday afternoon. They have now won five of six and are tied for first place in the AL East. This was the […]
Jordan Walker continued his torrid start to the 2026 season, but Andre Pallante had a disappointing start while Brayan Bello was impressive as the Boston Red Sox clobbered the St. Louis Cardinals 9-3 Sunday afternoon. The Red Sox didn’t wait long to get on the board as former Cardinal Willson Contreras hit a two-run homer […]
News out of the Atlanta Braves clubhouse this afternoon is that starting pitcher Martin Pérez has been designated for assignment and left-handed reliever Dylan Dodd has been recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett. Pérez, who the team brought in as a minor league free agent, didn’t make the Opening Day roster but was brought-up to the big […]
Remember a month ago when we were a little worried about how they were going to handle the rotation with so many pitchers around? How young we were. The offence got on the board right away this afternoon. Ernie Clement lead off with a line double to left, and Daulton Varsho cashed him in with […]
As the game thread intro indicated today, the Minnesota Twins historically do not fare well against the previous year’s American League champions. Fortunately, they were able to flip the script this afternoon against veteran starter Max Scherzer and take the rubber match in Toronto against the Blue Jays. Twins SP Taj Bradley was extremely shaky […]
Yesterday’s loss—the Mets’ fourth in a row—sucked. No doubt about it. But we could at least comfort ourselves with the knowledge that the bats momentarily came alive, hitting three homers after falling behind early in the game. “Maybe,” we told ourselves with all the optimism that April carries, “this will be the turning point for […]
Over the last several seasons, the Yankees have attempted a teambuilding approach that is less reliant on pure power and more resilient against the kinds of teams which have given them fits: speedy teams that put the ball in play and cover ground in the field. A team like, say, the Tampa Bay Rays. And […]
Maryland baseball trailed the Indiana Hoosiers by two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning. With bases loaded and one out to go, Devin Russell took the batter’s box. The redshirt junior had gone 0-for-3 on the day, with a groundout and two strikeouts. Russell wasn’t nervous, though. On a 3-1 count, a heater […]
The Athletics defeated the Mets 1-0, completing a sweep of New York’s national league team for the first time in franchise history. Having won the first two games of their series against the New York Mets, the Athletics sent right-hander Aaron Civale to the mound with a series sweep on their minds. On the other […]
I know this has been said a dozen different ways by people much more eloquent than myself, but my goodness is it ever nice to see games played at the Trop again. Haters gonna hate, but that place is special, and it’s so nice to see games under the dome again. The Rays were wrapping […]
