When new Arizona Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur was gazing over the roster prior to being hired, he saw a very good receiver group with a disappointing superstar, an All-Star tight end, running backs who were injured, a suspect offensive line, and a quarterback room that was in flux. And he took the job anyway. […]
We’re going straight to the heart of direct fan experience for today’s big Yankees question. The big-league club is still getting ready for the season down in Tampa, but after beginning the 2026 season with a road trip through San Francisco and Seattle, they’ll be back in the Bronx for their home opener on April […]

A change of scenery didn’t change Arizona’s luck on the diamond. The UA lost 7-2 to unbeaten Oregon on Friday night at the Live Like Lou Las Vegas Classic, dropping to 1-8 on the season. Arizona finished with five hits, all singles, with three by redshirt freshman Nate Novitske. The Wildcats’ runs came thanks to […]
This wasn’t a matchup we hadever seen before, Auburn vs Nebraska on the diamond. In fact, going to any SEC team for a weekend series isn’t something we see very often at all. But the way the NCAA Tournament Committee has been rewarding teams that have a tough non-conference schedule, it will probably become a […]
For the third time in the last four games, a San Diego Padres Spring Training game was decided by one run. Unfortunately for the Padres, it was the Colorado Rockies who were at the plate in the bottom of the ninth inning and it was Zac Veen who hit a one-out solo home run to […]
NJ.com | Bob Klapisch ($): Anthony Volpe’s faced more than his fair share of detractors over the past year, and while he may not be ready to start on Opening Day the shortstop aims to regain a foothold on his starting spot once he’s fully recovered from shoulder surgery. Part of that journey rests on […]
It feels so good to be back to doing recaps! Was a long offseason. Today was a picture perfect spring training evening in Peoria. The Dbacks took on the Mariners for their first night game of the season under a picturesque Arizona sunset. What a night for baseball. The Dbacks pitching tonight shined against the […]
Fans have, unfortunately, grown accustomed to there being a gap in talent when the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers play each other. And that was once again the case on Friday, as the team’s squared off for the first of two Cactus League showdowns. In a happy change of pace, however, the talent […]
Let’s get historical tonight! This was a discussion we had in our SB Nation managers Slack channel today, so I’d like to pose the question to you. The Rockies are turning 33 this year, so they don’t have a long, storied history like other franchises such as the Yankees or the Cubs. But they do […]

Notre Dame pitcher, Jack Radel, was dominant on the mound for the Irish in their first ever meeting against Alabama A&M. The right-hander tossed 6 innings of shutout ball while striking out 10, walking none, and only giving up 2 hits. His effort, along with a explosion at the plate for Irish hitters, gave Notre […]
The bases were loaded for Maryland baseball outfielder Jordan Crosland with one out in the ninth inning. He stepped in the batter’s box with a chance to redeem a blown top of the frame. To his left, Paul Jones II crouched at third base, waiting for a chance to run home and break the 9-9 […]
Last time I was at Peoria Sports Complex, I was getting a COVID shot. Wasn’t yesterday either. Weird what sticks in your mind. Anyway, tonight sees the D-backs heading over for a potential get-together with Josh Naylor, who signed a long-term contract – 5 year, $92,500,000 – with Seattle. Though it’ll be a little odd […]
As Spring Training hits its stride and the Mariners move past their first week of games, Luis Castillo — La Piedra — takes the rock for the first time in 2026. Castillo, despite an up-and-down regular season, was an absolute hero during the postseason and we are all looking forward to seeing what he has […]
The A’s can’t seem to get many wins this spring but luckily these games don’t count just yet. Still would be nice to see another win sometime soon as the Athletics dropped another game on Friday afternoon, losing to the Royals 7-6 and dropping their meaningless record to 1-5. The A’s jumped out to an […]
Good evening! I hope your week has gone well and that the weekend treats you just as well. The floor is now yours and here’s a random clip:
The San Francisco Giants have had an offseason full of puzzling decisions, but none so baffling as this one: Glen Kuiper is returning to the booth to do radio broadcasts. The lesser of the three broadcasting Kuiper brothers (13 years younger than Duane, five years younger than producer Jeff), Glen Kuiper was the primary play-by-play […]
MESA, Arizona — Friday was Edward Cabrera’s first outing in a Cubs uniform and it was a great success. Cabrera retired all six Guardians batters he faced, striking out three. He threw 20 strikes in 31 pitches and had six swings-and misses. The bullpen did a good job, too — well, with one exception, I’ll […]
The Milwaukee Brewers stayed hot in sunny Phoenix on Friday afternoon, taking down the Chicago White Sox for their fourth consecutive win to move to .500 at 4-4 in Cactus League play. The Crew did it behind a balanced offensive attack and some solid bullpen work late. Right-hander Brandon Sproat, one of Milwaukee’s acquisitions in […]
Barcelona defender Gerard Martin has been dubbed ‘Gerard Maldini’ this season in a fun nickname courtesy of his performances for the club. The left-back has now revealed that he’s received an epic gift from the Italy and AC Milan legend in a post on social media. Martin showed off a special signed Maldini shirt with […]
The Los Angeles Mike Trouts of Anaheim sent the Cincinnati Reds to their showers with a 4-3 defeat on Friday at Goodyear Ballpark in Arizona. The Reds had been riding a 3-game win streak heading into this game, which did not feature Mike Trout even though I insinuated that it did with a misleading nickname […]
The White Sox gave us two games today, with the 100 or so players eligible for the games today split in half. Given that Gameday and radio was the best we could tune into for two simultaneous games, let’s just bullet-point some game performances, and let our game polls tell the rest of the story. […]
All good things must eventually end, and that includes the Dodgers winning streak to open the spring as the San Francisco Giants took Friday’s contest 12-4. Yoshinobu Yamamoto made his final spring tune-up before playing for Team Japan in the World Baseball Classic. Yamamoto gave up a pair of runs, including a leadoff home run […]
