Game Thread #15: Milwaukee Brewers (8-6) vs. Washington Nationals (6-8)
The Milwaukee Brewers have had a rough week. After wrapping up their third consecutive series win last weekend in Kansas City, Milwaukee moved to 8-2 with a series-opening win in Boston on Monday. Since then, however, they’ve lost four straight. In those four losses — two to the Red Sox and two to the Nationals […]

Cardinals former kicker nails another 4-point field goal
The United Football League (UFL) is in full swing. They have some different rules this year, and that is by design. It tests new ideas of rules, plus the league is a training ground for referees and coaches. One of the new rules is that field goal attempts from 60+ yards becomes four-points instead of […]
Cubs roster move: Charlie Barnes recalled, Hunter Harvey to injured list
The Cubs signed left-hander Charlie Barnes to a minor-league deal in January. Barnes did appear in two Spring Training games for the Cubs, throwing two scoreless innings with three strikeouts. He was assigned to Triple-A Iowa and has pitched in three games there, posting a 2.38 ERA and 14 strikeouts in 11.1 innings. Today, the […]
Alex Vesia joins the Dodgers birthday saves club
Alex Vesia got the final out of Saturday night’s Dodgers win over the Texas Rangers, striking out the potential tying run at the plate to earn his first save of the season.

Game #15 GameThread: Twins @ Jays (+ Injury Updates)
Game three of three with the Twins. Yesterday, I mentioned driving to Minneapolis , that we were slowed at the border. Because of sitting at the border for two hours and kind of being mentally tired after the grillign, we didn’t get as far afterwards as we hoped. We ended up stopping at Minot, North […]
Luzardo Changes it Up
There was a lot of talk about running it back this offseason. After a frustratingly brief trip to the Elysian Fields of the playoffs, the fans, writ broadly, wanted change. Few, if any, would’ve wanted a change in Jesús Luzardo, though. His first season in red pinstripes (and blue/black gradient thing; not to fear, City […]
These Yankees are setting up differently at the plate
When T.S. Eliot wrote “April is the cruellest month,” he definitely wasn’t talking about baseball, but he might as well have been. April is the month when small sample size reigns supreme, convincing even the most hard-hearted fans that a long-awaited breakout is happening, only to leave them in shambles once May rolls around. In […]
Foster Griffin’s success in Japan has translated so far for the Washington Nationals
So far this season, Foster Griffin has been the Washington Nationals best pitcher. The soft tossing lefty has used his craftiness and deep pitch mix to weather the storm against three really good lineups. He has faced the Phillies, Dodgers and Brewers, and has gone at least five innings while allowing two or fewer runs […]
Mets designate Luis García for assignment, call up Joey Gerber
Having once again built a bullpen that was intended to have plenty of roster churn, the Mets have started churning those spots on the roster. Today, the team has designated right-handed reliever Luis García for assignment and called up fellow right-handed reliever Joey Gerber to take his place in the bullpen. The Mets signed García […]
Media Bytes: The Vibes Return, Brady Tkachuk Whispers, Trocheck Trades, The Morrow Problem
The vibes are back in New York—and so are the big rumors. Brady Tkachuk's name is surfacing, the Trocheck picture is clearing up, and the Morrow verdict is getting harsh.
On the Mariners drop in bat speed
The Mariners are swinging slower and hitting worse, but connecting these dots isn’t as simple as it seems. Bat speed is down for half the Mariners’ lineup over the first 2 1/2 weeks of the season. These batters are swinging 0.7 mph slower on average than they were last year. It’s become a fixation in […]
Astros Prospect Report: April 11th
Another day of minor league baseball is in the books. See the results below. AAA: Sugar Land Space Cowboys (9-5) won 3-2 (BOX SCORE) Ullola started for Sugar Land and allowed 1 run over 2.2 innings before leaving with an injury. It appeared to be leg related and not arm related. Fleury went the next […]
Sunday morning Rangers things
Good morning, folks… The Texas Rangers fell to the Los Angeles Dodgers by a score of 6-3 last night. Shawn McFarland’s game story from the loss talks about the team feeling they are able to come back from deficits.

For the first time in seven opportunities this season, all four Dodgers affiliates won on the same day.

It was the second appearance of the season for the left-hander, who pitched three scoreless […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 14
Reminder: I’m on vacation all this week and will be a little briefer than usual and one or more pieces could be delayed. Thanks for your patience. If you’re not one of my longtime readers, this is a great jumping-in point. By about the third inning Saturday, I saw the season declared as over, the […]

The Mariners can secure an important series win today at 1:10 with Logan Gilbert on the mound. Happy Sunday […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Sammy Vick
When the Yankees famously purchased Babe Ruth from the Red Sox in 1919, there was always going to be someone who’s playing time was massively cut, if not erased at all. As it happens, that fate mostly fell on Sammy Vick. Vick’s career prior to Ruth’s acquisition wasn’t especially notable, and it wasn’t anything especially […]
Braves Minor League Recap: Brett Sears pitches scoreless outing
Saturday saw all four affiliates in the Atlanta Braves system in action, as the teams earned a split on the day.

Rangers vs. Stars: Lone Star Scoreless
The Rangers took their 10th shutout loss of the season, but the Drew Fortescue situation is the real story. Was scratching him to protect team control worth the bad optics?
