The first thing you’ll probably notice about RJ Petit is his size— he’s 6-foot, 8-inches tall. Generally speaking, the Colorado Rockies are not a height-challenged team, but even then, Petit towers above his teammates. It’s fitting, then, that his size reflects the notable changes he’s undergone over the course of the last year as he […]
The 1120 KMOX “Infinity Gauntlet” is now complete! This week, we sat down with KMOX sports director Tom Ackermann!

Tom can be heard almost daily, starting at 5:05 AM St. Louis time with Total Information […]

Jaylon Thompson has a listicle at the Star about the big comeback win that appears to be partially generated by AI? Here are key takeaways: • Thomas hit a walk-off three-run homer in the 10th inning off Angels lefty Joey Lucchesi — his first home run since joining the Royals this offseason. Manager Matt Quatraro […]
Good morning, baseball fans! On Saturday, the San Francisco Giants held a ceremony to honor their former first baseman/All Star/Captain/Baby Giraffe, Brandon Belt. Belt played for the Giants for 12 years and was a part of two of the three World Series Championship teams. During that time, he was somehow both severely underrated and a […]
Now that the actual NFL Draft has come and gone, let’s take one more look back at our predictions for how it would go down. For the purposes of this exercise, a correct draft position prediction for a player (within one spot) is worth one point, a correct team-player combo prediction is worth three points, […]
Indianapolis Colts defense MUST soar! Brendan Sorsby bet IU while at IU! Cubs lose 9-7 to Padres!
The camera loves Payton Tolle. He’s constantly giggling his way through interviews, or comparing being in the major leagues to eating a steak or something. During games, he’s shown celebrating at the top step of the dugout or in the middle of some shenanigan. From afar, it seems like each time he’s on camera for […]
Phillies News: MLB News:
Happy Tuesday, Camden Chatters! Did you enjoy the off day? After two losses to the Red Sox, including one absolute beatdown, it was nice to get away from baseball for a day. After losing the series to the last-place Red Sox, the Orioles welcome the last-place Astros to town for a three-game series starting tonight. […]
Another week of Yankees minor league baseball is in the books, and the big stories this week were not about the prospects themselves. Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodón, and Anthony Volpe are continuing rehab assignments as they near their season debuts for the Yankees, while the RailRiders are getting contributions from multiple prospects who could be […]
Welcome back to the Minor League Roundup! As a reminder, you can find this roundup — covering everything you need to know about each of the Brewers’ minor league affiliates — every Tuesday morning right here on Brew Crew Ball.

The Detroit Tigers wrap up their nine-game interleague schedule this week by heading south to face the Atlanta Braves starting on Tuesday night. After taking two out of three from the Milwaukee Brewers at home before dropping two of three at the Cincinnati Reds, the Motor City Kitties move on to face the top team […]
Happy Tuesday, Red Sox Nation! Last night, Chad Tracy sent Ranger Suarez back to the mound for the eighth inning after throwing 90 pitches through seven innings. The Alex Cora-led Red Sox likely go to the bullpen with a five-run lead in that spot. Did you like the move to send Suarez back out? On […]
It’s time for a power rankings update. The Pittsburgh Pirates are sitting at 16-13. They’ve been a couple games over .500 for a while now, but haven’t been able to quite push it further. In addition, the hot start at the plate has cooled some, with the Bucs OPS falling significantly over the past week. […]
By any account, the Yankees’ superlative play as of late has made them the favorites in an AL East division that looked hyper-competitive coming into the year. The Rays are close in New York’s rearview mirror, but the heavy hitters that everyone expected to compete with the Yankees in the division this year, the Orioles, […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about Mizzou Softball’s stretch run After a much-needed win over Top-10 Arkansas on Sunday to avoid the sweep, Mizzou Softball’s postseason hopes are still alive. With four games remaining in the regular season, the Tigers are 26-26 overall (8-13 SEC). For a chance at a regional appearance, […]
MLB Trade Rumors | Anthony Franco: The Giancarlo Stanton Calf Saga is essentially at the conclusion that always seemed most likely. The Yankees had the roster flexibility to wait and see how Stanton’s tight calf responded to a couple days of rest after he was pulled from their game on Friday in Houston, but they […]
It was almost shocking to see. The most dominant closer in the MLB allowed a run. In fact, he allowed two runs. San Diego Padres closer Mason Miller worked 34 2/3 innings without allowing a runner to cross the plate. That streak came to an end in the top of the ninth inning against the […]
After a three-hour rain delay, the White Sox and Angels decided to start playing tonight’s game … at 9:40 p.m. CT. Or for this writer and editor, 10:40 p.m. The game ended 35 minutes into Tuesday in Chicago, but the Good Guys somehow pulled off a massive comeback, winning 8-7. Oh, and Mune leads the […]
They say what goes around comes around, and in a game in which walks played a pivotal part in the Marlins’ handling of Dodgers’ ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the same applied for the Dodgers against closer Pete Fairbanks to set up a comeback win—Kyle Tucker had his first signature moment as a Dodger, delivering a two-out […]
When a baseball team is playing as poorly as the Phillies are, there is plenty of blame to go around. Many have fixed their gaze on the tenuous job security of Rob Thomson and there is merit to it. Thomson has made some decisions that cause one’s brow to furrow, but he alone is not […]
Hey, 13-15… that’s… not so bad, right? The past decade or so of Giants Baseball has — except for that one time — basically conditioned us to expect and embrace mediocrity and here we are, paired again with a familiar friend. That’s actually preferrable to the vibes — nay, the objective reality — that followed […]
While the Yankees’ Monday night game in Texas was never a blowout, much of it felt like it was trending towards a fairly comfortable Bombers win. Ben Rice and Aaron Judge continued to be stalwarts in the Yankees’ lineup, each going deep to help build up a lead. Meanwhile on the mound, starter Max Fried […]
