Some Colorado Rockies notes from Coors Field
I spent the weekend covering the Colorado Rockies from Coors Field. Generally, I come away from events like these with ideas for stories or player profiles, but I wanted to do something a bit different this time. I found manager Warren Schaeffer’s media availabilities interesting in that I think they might answer some of the […]
Kansas City Royals News: The Royals are looking at dark times
The Royals released Asa Lacy yesterday. With Lacy having spent parts of the last four years in a rehab setting at the Royals’ Arizona complex and set to become a Minor League free agent at the end of the season, the Royals made the decision to release him. “We just got to the point where […]
White Sox Weekly: April 13-19, 2026
Last week, the White Sox were 2-5. Over this past seven-day stretch, they were 2-5. Sounds like an emerging pattern. The week opened with incredibly positive energy as the club called up Noah Schultz on Tuesday, and, after a miscommunication, brought up Sam Antonacci on Wednesday. Promoting the organization’s No. 2 and No. 9 prospects […]
Orioles prospects: Young earns weekly honors, Honeycutt hits homers
The early weeks of the 2026 Orioles season are giving off vibes that maybe it is going to turn into an anxious look down to the farm for better times for the team in the future. Hopefully those vibes go away. Until they do, every prospect development story feels essential. It’s important even if things […]
Tuesday BP: BEAT L.A.!
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants return to Oracle Park today to take on the Los Angeles Dodgers for the first time this season. I can’t lie, I’m kind of dreading this series. The wins over the weekend were great, and exactly what the team needed to build some momentum. Unfortunately, I’m concerned […]

Who should replace Sonny Gray in the Red Sox rotation?
Sonny Gray exited Monday’s game early with a hamstring injury. While the injury isn’t believed to be serious, Gray is spending at least 15 days on the injured list to recover. The Red Sox play 14 games over the next 15 games, so they’ll need someone to fill in. Gray’s turn in the rotation won’t […]

New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox: Series Preview
The past two weeks have been adventurous for the Yankees since their 8-2 start to the season. A lengthy losing skid obliterated their fledgling division lead, then a perplexing four-game set with the Angels showed their greatest strengths and greatest flaws in equal measure. Consequently, it was a relief to watch the Bombers dispose of […]
Today in White Sox History: April 21
1900 The White Stockings played their first regular season game as part of the American League, at South Side Park (former grounds of the Chicago Wanderers cricket club). They’d drop a 5-4 decision in 10 innings to the Milwaukee Brewers, who were managed by Connie Mack. The 1900 season isn’t officially recognized by baseball because […]

St. Louis Cardinals Player Profile: Victor Scott II
In a season-long search for answers, the Cardinals appear to have some offensive pieces emerging. Ivan Herrera, Alec Burleson, rookie JJ Wetherholt, and (hopefully) Jordan Walker can continue to do what he’s done through the first 3 weeks of the season. Between Walker, Nolan Gorman, and Victor Scott II, there existed the biggest questions about […]
A revisit of Ole Miss baseball’s SEC numbers
Three weeks ago, Ole Miss baseball sat at the intersection of Serenity Now and Thanks, I Hate It. They couldn’t hit, struck out like it was their oxygen, and were inconsistent on the mound. As I documented on March 31st, they had just completed a 4-8 stretch with losses to Southern Miss, Texas (x2), Kentucky, […]
Orioles news: The O’s pulled a ridiculous win out of their hat
Good morning, Camden Chatters. You know, over the course of a six-month season, you’ll see every kind of baseball game. Sometimes you’ll see a heavyweight clash between two tenacious clubs, battling with every fiber of their being as they put on a clinic of intense, well-played baseball. And then other times you’ll see what can […]

Where is Jared Jones in his comeback for Pirates?
The Pittsburgh Pirates are off to a good start so far this season, with the starting rotation and some improved hitting playing major roles. However, there’s still one important piece of the rotation still to add, and that is starting pitcher Jared Jones. He was injured last season and given a 10-12 month recovery time, […]
The Bear’s Den, April 21, 2026
THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL BEARSSSSSS Lawmakers sweeten pot to keep Bears in Illinois, with stadium bill linked to statewide property tax relief Illinois going for the Hail Mary? Bears should count on Coby Bryant to carry them at safety rather than sink major draft capital into position Can he play both positions back there at […]
Do you miss the days of the unbalanced MLB schedule?
The Yankees are in Boston today, as they’ll take on their archrivals for the first time in 2026. It’s just the second time the Yankees have faced a divisional foe this season, their three-game set at the Trop against the Rays this month the only AL East matchup on a slate that’s otherwise been populated […]

Emerson Hancock gives up to back-to-back jacks, A’s smack Mariners with 6-4 loss
The heart of the Mariners showed up early, but the heart of the A’s order showed up late. The Mariners lost 6-4 in Monday’s series opener against the Athletics. Emerson Hancock continued to look like the new-and-improved version of himself, but he also threw a few bad pitches and was eventually burned. Cal Raleigh and […]
Sunlun’… It’s A Crazy Ride!
Be honest: when we made our way to the Stadium of Light for the opening game of the season against West Ham (which frankly feels like a lifetime ago — the result of an utterly intoxicating and unforgettable campaign), what were your hopes and aspirations for 2025/2026? For Sunderland to merely avoid relegation? To enjoy […]
Jays Beat Angels 5-2
A good all around win. Dylan Cease was effectively wild, as they say, the bullpen was terrific, and while the offence wasn’t explosive the did enough in key moments (very much out of character). Toronto loaded the bases with two outs in the first, on singles by Vladimir Guerrero jr. and Eloy Jimenez and a […]
