Tigers Battle Back to Sweep Lipscomb

Lipscomb @ Auburn FRI: 7-3 W SAT: 12-11 W SUN: 4-3 W Going into this weekend, someone asked if I expected a sweep. I said that without Joseph Gonzalez, the offense would have to be on point for that to happen because of Lipscomb’s ability to bash the ball with the middle of their lineup. College baseball is a different animal from any other college sport. This isn’t the name game football is. Heck, it isn’t the name game basketball is. Every now and then you will get an Old Dominio...

Tigers Take Advantage of So Cal Weather in Series Win

Southern Cal @ Auburn FRI: 5-3 W SAT: 12-6 W SUN: 12-12 Tie It was supposed to look different than it did. Auburn was supposed to bat first. There we supposed to be fewer Auburn fans, though I know the Southern California Auburn Club would have been there in force. Joseph Gonzalez was supposed to do his thing and shut down the Trojans in Game Two of the series. However, as baseball normally ends up, what was supposed to happen, didn’t. Auburn would be able to host the series agains...

Are the Arizona Cardinals closer to playoff contention than we think?

The Arizona Cardinals have a new regime, likely roster turnover, and a quarterback who may not be ready to begin the 2023 season.  Stranger things have happened in recent NFL history. In 2020, the Cincinnati Bengals finished 4-11-1, yet they found themselves in the Super Bowl just one year later. In 2022, the Bengals proved […] Are the Arizona Cardinals closer to playoff contention than we think? - Raising Zona - Raising Zona - Arizona Cardinals News and Fan Community

Expect the Arizona Cardinals to run a more pro-style look in 2023

Under former head coach Kliff Kingsbury, the Arizona Cardinals offense ran almost-exclusively from the shotgun, giving it the feel of a college offense. Under new head coach Jonathan Gannon, look for the Arizona Cardinals offense to look dramatically different from what we’ve seen over the previous four seasons. Kingsbury was an “Air Raid” guy, where […] Expect the Arizona Cardinals to run a more pro-style look in 2023 - Raising Zona - Raising Zona - Arizona Cardinals News and Fan Community

Will the Arizona Cardinals apply the Franchise Tag in 2023?

The Arizona Cardinals could always apply the Franchise Tag to one of their 30-plus pending free agents if they are interested in keeping them for 2023.  The Franchise Tag is always an option for one player this time of the year. Although a team like the Arizona Cardinals can only place the Franchise Tag on […] Will the Arizona Cardinals apply the Franchise Tag in 2023? - Raising Zona - Raising Zona - Arizona Cardinals News and Fan Community

New Move on Monday: Jhon Durán sold to Aston Villa

Aaron Doster-USA TODAY Sports The Chicago Fire’s Colombian wonderkid joins the English giants for a club-record fee. For the second time in just a few months, the Chicago Fire have sold a teenage wonderkid to the Premier League for an eight-figure sum. Not too long ago, that statement would have seemed like a very optimistic prediction, but with the official confirmation of Colombian forward Jhon Durán’s sale to Aston Villa for close to 20 million dollars, it is now a reality.

MLB Daily Dish will be shutting down effective immediately

Patrick Breen / USA TODAY NETWORK It is hard to say goodbye, but unfortunately that is what we must do. Baseball fans everywhere have had to weather a lot over the last few years. Between the COVID shutdown and its lingering effects combined with a lengthy lockout, we have had to ask questions like “when will baseball be back?” and “will things ever be the same again?” instead of arguing about the ins and outs of the game that have colored our water cooler conversations for decades.

Staff Post: Relief Pitchers to target in 2022

Wally Skalij / Los Angeles Times via Getty Images The Fake Teams writers list a few arms to target for bullpen help in 2022. It’s tough to get excited about saves men, honestly. Even the ones you pay up for leave a bad taste in your mouth due to draft day cost. For my part, I’m typically trying to nab the guy who is the cheapest one (per ADP) with the closer’s role AND enough skills to hold said role. Last year, that was Raisel Iglesias. This year—well, you’ll have to read on, won’t you? ...
