For the first time this year, the White Sox have had a week that did not end with a losing record. And the first half of the week brought the first back-to-back series wins of the season. Unfortunately, however, the second half saw a return to a lack of power and run support. Going into […]
The Milwaukee Brewers are set to host the Arizona Diamondbacks for a three-game set beginning Tuesday evening to wrap up their homestand. Milwaukee is coming off a series loss to the Pirates to begin the homestand, though they did pick up their first shutout win on Sunday, taking that one 5-0 behind a strong 12-strikeout […]
While Tyler Glasnow, Justin Wrobleski, Emmet Sheehan, and Shohei Ohtani combine for an 11-0 record, Yoshinobu Yamamoto sits at 2-2 heading into his sixth start of the season. The trend of Yamamoto not receiving adequate run support, particularly in contrast with the regular numbers that this offense puts up, was a major theme of his […]
The Jays have placed Max Scherzer on the IL with forearm tendinitis and left ankle inflammation, backdated to his last start. Chase Lee has been called up and will be available tonight. Lee has been, well, interesting for the Bisons. A 1.32 ERA in 9 appearances, 13.2 innings (maybe we can use him for more […]
We may have jumped the shark when it comes to talking about reaches in the NFL Draft. For the 12th year in a row, the Raiders, Browns, and Giants “won” the draft. Perhaps 2026 is the year those drafts come to fruition in the win column. We shall see. When you watch the San Francisco […]
Earlier today, the Yankees optioned Luis Gil to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after taking the loss in the series finale in Houston. In a corresponding move, the Yankees are reportedly calling up outfielder Jasson Domínguez from Triple-A. A path to playing time for Domínguez opened up on Friday night when Giancarlo Stanton exited mid-game due to a calf […]
The season is starting to go off the rails for Northwestern (16-24-1, 5-16 B1G) as it failed to secure a single win in a weekend series at Minnesota (26-17, 8-13 B1G). The Wildcats lost all three games by multiple runs and have lost nine Big Ten games in a row. Northwestern and Minnesota entered the […]
Former Jay first baseman Willie Upshaw turns 69 today. Willie Upshaw was a rarity, a successful Rule 5 draft pick. We took him from the Yankees in 1978, who had drafted him in the 5th round in 1975. He quickly moved up through the minor leagues, but the Yankees had Chris Chambliss, who left after […]
Well that sure was a weekend. Back-to-back wins. Scoring 17 in 1 game. A Caleb Durbin home run. The coaching shuffle. Alex Cora out, Chad Tracy in. And now the Red Sox are off to Toronto to play the Blue Jays in a Battle of AL East Disappointments. The Jays realized their rotation wasn’t quite […]
We welcomed suckers esteemed customers into the SnakePit Casino to place bets before the season. Sunday’s game in Mexico City marked the one-sixth point of the schedule, so it seems appropriate to check in. So let’s see who has made a fast start out of the gates, and who is still looking around, wondering what […]
Carson Hocevar, from Portage Michigan, won the Cup race. Ryan Preece of Berlin, CT finished 18th . Joey Logano of Middletown, CT was way back in 39th. In the O’Reilly Series Corey Day was the… The post How Did The Northeastern Drivers End Up At Talladega? first appeared on The MotorSportsNews.Net(work) .
The Seattle Seahawks looked to Notre Dame’s backfield in search of their next star running back. While the electrifying Jeremiyah Love went at the top of the 2026 NFL Draft to the Arizona Cardinals as the third overall pick, his Fighting Irish teammate, Jadarian Price, went to the Super Bowl champs at No. 32. Price […]
The month of April is nearing a close, and thanks to the rotating outfield situation at the big league level with the Cincinnati Reds we’ve been privy all month to the offensive force coming out of the AAA Louisville lineup. Rece Hinds got the call to take over RF from Noelvi Marte when the former […]
After sweeping the Cardinals in St. Louis, the Mariners continue their annual early-season cursèd march through the Midwest with a stopoff in Minnesota, the famous not-roof-havers. The Twins are fresh off their own sweeping, at the hands of former Mariner Ben Williamson and the Tampa Bay Rays. They’ve lost five straight and nine of their […]
Questions persisted all offseason as to what this 2026 St. Louis Cardinals starting rotation was going to look like. Matthew Liberatore has not quite found his stride early in the season. Dustin May, after 2 shaky starts to begin the year, has found a footing in the rotation over his last 3 appearances. Andre Pallante […]
The 2026 NFL Draft saw a robust trade market. Over the course of 257 selections, there were 41 distinct trades made, or nearly six per round. In fact, 112 different 2026 selections were moved at some point, or nearly 44% of the draft (and that excludes picks that had been traded prior to the start […]

After blowing out Georgetown (22-22, 4-8 Big East) in back-to-back games to begin the series, UConn (25-20, 10-5 Big East) notched a 3-2 comeback win on Sunday to earn their first series sweep of the season. “It’s amazing that it took us this long to get a sweep,” UConn Head Coach Jim Penders said via […]
Every year there’s a prospect who doesn’t make our top 40 list and makes that omission look foolish almost immediately. This year it’s Nolan Perry, who did make Matt’s pref list but whom I have to admit to whiffing on entirely. Perry got $200k in the 12th round back in 2022 out of Carlsbad, New […]
Both Baseball and Softball were in conference action on Sunday to close out weekend series at home. For Softball it was the rubber match against Ohio State, with the team’s 15-straight B1G series win streak on the line. For baseball it was the opportunity to pick up a much-needed sweep to continue moving up the […]
The TCU Horned Frogs are surging at the right time. Riding a three-game winning streak into their Big 12 series against Houston, the purple and white swept a three-game set with the Cougars at Lupton Stadium. TCU also saw ace right-hander Tommy LaPour return from an extended injury absence, logging one inning and reaching 99 […]
Tacoma Rainiers Tacoma took the weekly slate with a series score of 4-2, securing a heroic comeback in the final game of the six game series to secure an extra-innings W. The bats, once icy cold, have emerged from their hibernation and are looking far more like we’ve come to expect. It wouldn’t be a […]
The Cubs had a 5-2 week, which on its face is excellent. The way it ended, with two losses to the Dodgers after sweeping the Phillies and mounting a stirring comeback Friday in Los Angeles, wasn’t great. But this team is still showing that it can compete with anyone, even with multiple bullpen injuries. Here’s […]
Detroit Tigers infield prospect Hao-Yu Lee had a pretty rough spring. After a slow start in camp, he headed off to represent his native Taiwan in the World Baseball Classic. An oblique strain suffered before the tournament even began caused him to miss the opportunity, and then it lingered, costing him the first week of […]
Some players are remembered for elegance. Others are remembered for effort. Enos Slaughter belongs in the second category. He built a Hall of Fame career on aggression, hustle, and a willingness to play every moment at full speed, helping create the old baseball belief that the dirtier your jersey was by the end of the […]
