The uncertainty factor is at an all-time high this season. With 62 new head coaches, a record number of players transferring, international players becoming a more significant factor, and there’s still the incoming high school players – some of whom will make a difference, predicting the season ahead is impossible. But we do it anyway. […]

Just four nights after a disappointing shooting performance against Kansas, the Louisville men’s basketball team gave its fan base a better sense of what it can expect the team to do from the outside in the months ahead. The Cardinals connected on 23 of 46 attempts from three on their way to a 99-76 win […]
Let’s keep the discussion going here. REMINDER: There is (at least) one more overflow thread going up at a 7:25 p.m. PT. World Series Game 4 info
The Red Sox have re-signed left-hander Eduardo Rivera to a minor league contract, according to Alex Speier of The Boston Globe. Rivera was slated to reach free agency next month, but is now tentatively in line to return to the organization he has spent the better part of the last two seasons with. The 22-year-old … Continue reading "Red Sox re-sign LHP prospect Eduardo Rivera to minor league contract"
2025 stats w/SFG: 90 G, 395 PA, .236/.347/.460, .224 ISO, 29 K%, 14 BB%, 126 wRC+, 1.3 fWAR Phase 1 of the 9-phase master plan was a dud. Rafael Devers was not the quick download for a desperately needed offensive upgrade. At times, that rotating rainbow wait cursor seemed to spin endlessly next to his […]
Well, of all the World Series games, last night’s was certainly… one of them. An 18-inning marathon, won by the Dodgers on a walk-off from Freddie Freeman, and what feels like just a few hours later, we’re back at Chavez Ravine once again. How the managers handle their incinerated bullpens – 12.2 frames of work […]
While the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays fight it out for the 2025 World Series trophy, the rest of baseball is planning for 2026. If you aren’t a fan of the two teams currently still playing, then looking forward is what most of us are doing. Conjecture takes a prominent role during […]
World Series, Game 4: 8:00 PM ET, FOX (Dodgers lead 2-1) RHP Shane Bieber (TOR) vs. RHP Shohei Ohtani (LAD) Good lord. How do you follow that? Last night — and well into this morning — the Dodgers and Blue Jays played one of the most ridiculous games in the history of the World Series. […]
After reaching base a staggering nine times during last night’s epic 18 inning Game 3, Shohei Ohtani will toe the rubber for the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 4 tonight at Dodger Stadium (while also leading off, because of course). The Toronto Blue Jays will look to claw their way back into a level series […]
Dodgers and Blue Jays, back at it, possibly for only half as long this time around. REMINDER: we will have extra overflow game threads up at 6:12 p.m. PT and 7:25 p.m. PT. World Series Game 4 info
Well, I don’t think they can go 18 innings today. I’m sure I can’t go 18 today. A win would be a good thing. They are in tough against Shohei Ohtani Today’s Lineups BLUE JAYS DODGERS Nathan Lukes – LF Shohei Ohtani – DH Vladimir Guerrero – 1B Mookie Betts – SS Bo Bichette – […]
Look, I know Shane Bieber is really good. I know that the Blue Jays, in general, are a really good team. They won the American League East! The same division with the Yankees, the Red Sox, and the ever-pesky Rays! And yet, it sort of feels like the series is over. The Dodgers lead 2-1, […]
The Pittsburgh Pirates have found their next pitching coach. According to multiple reports, the Pirates have hired Houston Astros pitching coach Bill Murphy to become the new leader of the Bucs pitching staff. Astros reporter Chandler Rome was first to report the news. Murphy, 36, spent the last 10 seasons in the Astros organization, winning […]
One of the more interesting subplots this offseason, to me, is what the Astros decided to do at catcher in the near term. We all know the organization is interested in bringing Victor Caratini back, but whether that happens won’t be determined for a while. Then there is Yainer Díaz, who has three more years […]

Toronto Blue Jays at Los Angeles Dodgers – A World Series Game 4 thread for October 28, 2025
Or maybe this is Game 5, since Game 3 went 18 innings. Shohei Ohtani goes up against Shane Bieber, and both teams are going to be needing their starters to go deep after the Jays pen had to throw 12+ innings yesterday and the Dodgers’ pen 13+ innings yesterday. 7:00 p.m. Central on Fox. Talk […]
After last night’s epic but exhausting Game 3 that found the Los Angeles Dodgers managing to out-endure the Toronto Blue Jays, Game 4 kicks off a mere 18 hours later. Currently, the Dodgers lead the series 2-1. But last night’s (this morning’s?) game is relegated to the history books, and tonight, the Blue Jays with […]
Did you stay up to watch the end of Game 3? Quite a number of you did, the comment count in Monday’s game thread might have been the most for any non-Cubs game thread in BCB history. The Dodgers and Blue Jays are likely to be pretty exhausted after the 18 innings of Game 3. […]
Go Cards.
LOS ANGELES — Game 3 was so chock full of nuggets that the 18-inning marathon remained the talk of the day on Tuesday ahead of Game 4 of Dodgers vs. Blue Jays. Shohei Ohtani reached base all nine times he was up on Monday, including four intentional walks, a strategy Blue Jays manager John Schneider […]
