White Sox defense is still offensive

Who ya gonna believe, me or your own eyes? It’s appropriate to begin by considering what Chico said to Margaret Dumont in Duck Soup, because being a fan of the White Sox is a lot like watching a Marx Brothers movie — only without quite as many laughs. The line is especially appropriate when defense […]

Today’s Lineups:

The Mariners made changes to their lineup, which I would do too. Arozarena moves down, Rodriguez moves up. I’ve always liked the idea of putting Vlad at the top of our order, and this is much the same for the Mariners. IKF is back in there. I’m half surprised that Gimenez isn’t batting cleanup. Today’s […]

Former Cub Nate Pearson signs with the Astros

For the last couple of years, the Cubs have acquired former Houston Astros relievers, notably Hector Neris and Ryan Pressly. As you know, neither one of those worked out for the Cubs and both were unconditionally released by the team mid-season. Now, the Astros are going to try the reverse signing move by acquiring a […]

An update on MLB no-hitter streaks through 2025

There’s a reason this article is headed by the photo of Shōta Imanaga, Nate Pearson, Porter Hodge and Miguel Amaya, the pitching/catching group that threw a combined no-hitter against the Pirates on Sept. 4, 2024. It’s because that’s the most recent no-hitter thrown in the major leagues. That’s right, not a single no-no was thrown […]

Slot Talk: The Liverpool Boss Wants You to Consider xG

Speaking to the press as Liverpool reconvenes following a string of losses, Arne Slot was measured in his verdict. Put most simply, the Reds are not creating enough and are conceding too many — though the boss did emphasize that the outcome looks a bit worse than the underlying numbers suggest: “I think what we […]

2026 Position profiles: Second Base

Unlike the other positions, second base probably has more options and more intrigue coming into the 2026 season. We will profile three players, but depending on what happens elsewhere on the roster it could be none of these guys manning second base a majority of the time. The lion share of our focus has been […]

Former 1st-Rounder Brennan Othmann On Trade Block for Rangers

Former New York Rangers first-round pick Brennan Othmann just hasn't been able to seize an opportunity to break through with the big club. After being selected with the 16th pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, the left-shot forward has only managed to get in 25 games total with the Blueshirts, 22 of them last season. He failed to break camp with the team again this fall. Now, Othmann’s name is “gaining traction” among other NHL teams, per i nsider Elliotte Friedman. He is reporting that the Rangers ar...

Friday Bantering: Jays Bits

The Red Sox lineup could look radically different in 2026

If you asked me six months ago what I thought the Red Sox lineup would look like by season’s end, my answer would have been shockingly wrong. Going though each section of the diamond, here’s where my general thought process stood in April: If you stack all this up, I was probably thinking of a […]

Three thoughts about the Phillies press conference

We all look forward to the end of season press conference that is given by the people in charge. Dave Dombrowski and Rob Thomson usually give relatively honest answers when questioned by reporters, a refreshing change from other executives that dance around questions and give generic, boring answers. After letting it sit for a day, […]

Latest On A.J. Preller

Padres president of baseball operations A.J. Preller is under contract through 2026. It’s been suggested by some that he is fairly safe in his job but a report today from Dennis Lin and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic casts at least a bit of doubt on that.

In hindsight, what should the Royals have done last off-season?

Fresh off a playoff appearance last fall, the Royals went into the offseason with high hopes that they were a few moves away from having a team that could make a serious run. The offense had struggled in September following the injury to Vinnie Pasquantino, exposing a lack of depth in the lineup. Last year’s […]

Happy stealiversery, everyone!

October 17th, 2004. The Boston Red Sox are down three games to none in the ALCS against the Evil Empire, their dreaded rivals — the New York Yankees. Kevin Millar, who has already made his now-famous “Don’t let us win tonight’ quote, leads off the bottom of the 9th with a walk. Terry Francona makes […]
