2025 SnakePit Awards: Play of the Year nominations open

As promised on Wednesday, the SnakePit Awards get under way today, beginning with the Play of the Year. This is always fun to put together, because I basically get to spent a couple of days assembling highlight reels. However, there are bound to be examples which escaped my attention, and that’s why we have this […]

Last day of November open thread

Well, here we are. The penultimate month of the year is nearly in the books, and soon we’ll be heading off to December. Personally, I can’t wait for this year to be over, so I’m very much looking forward to the symbolic turning of the calendar page. Meanwhile, the Orioles signed Ryan Helsley for $28 […]

Lane Kiffin Accepts LSU Job

At last we have reached closure: Lane Kiffin is the new head coach of LSU. The confirmation comes from Kiffin himself, who took to social media to confirm the news. LSU football’s official account announced the news not long after. Two planes are already en route to Oxford to pick up Kiffin and others. He […]

2026 South Side Sox Prospect Vote: Round 17

You can say a lot of things about young outfielder prospect George Wolkow, and one of them is that he polls consistently. For the third straight year he’s in the mid-teens of our rankings, winning this round with 25 of 65 (38%) votes: It took the right fielder 10 tries before advancing. Wolkow was our […]

Yankees Social Media Spotlight: Thanksgiving Weekend

It’s Sunday, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! It was a busy week in New York City, as the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade took over the city on Thursday, the New York Knicks’ win over the Bucks dominated headlines on Friday, and Jaxson Dart cleared concussion […]

2025 Dodgers season review: Andrew Heaney

Earlier in the season it looked like the Dodgers would smash their own franchise record of 40 pitchers used, set one year prior in 2024. The 2025 team was already at their 27th pitcher by May 18, with 115 games remaining on the schedule. But they only used five new pitchers after the All-Star break, […]

Tigers Run Game Roars to Life in Second Half

It was cold, rainy and hope was fading as the first half came to a conclusion in Arkansas. After an opening drive touchdown for Mizzou, the momentum slowed in the second quarter. The Tigers could only manage 34 yards on the ground and starting quarterback Beau Pribula only managed two yards in the air. Alongside […]

Rangers sign Hoopii-Tuionetoa

The Texas Rangers have signed free agent righthanded pitcher Anthony David Maui La’akea “Bubba” Hoopii-Tuionetoa to a minor league deal, per the MLB.com transactions page. So, this is kind of fun news. Hoopii-Tuionetoa was a 30th round pick of the 2019 draft out of Pierce College by the Rangers, and worked his way up the […]

Padres pitching options appear slim

The San Diego Padres organization, by its own admission, has a starting pitching problem. With Dylan Cease signing a seven-year, $210 million contract with the Toronto Blue Jays, there is only Michael King left as a re-sign possibility and the chances of that appear to be quite slim. Although he doesn’t have the best health […]

Jordan Shipp is UNC’s Player of the Game against NC State

Carolina capped off a miserable season with a miserable performance at NC State on Saturday, racking up 11 penalties for 129 yards en route to a 42-19 loss. As he was against Duke last week, Jordan Shipp was the best player on the field for the Tar Heels. He finished with eight receptions for a […]

Yankees History: George Pipgras’ crazy day in 1932

Generally, if you allow double-digit hits in a game as a pitcher, you and your team probably aren’t going to win that game. If you then add in eight walks to the equation, your odds are going to take an even greater dip. These days, it’s probably not even possible for a pitcher to put […]

2025 Atlanta Braves Player Review: Pierce Johnson

2025 was the second full season in a Braves uniform for Pierce Johnson and the outcome was pretty similar to how things had gone for him in his first full season, and really his overall tenure since he got traded to the Braves. Usually that’d be enough to stick around for another year — especially […]

Cardinals-Bucs first half open thread

Happy Sunday morning one and all. The east coast, early game gives the Arizona Cardinals a chance to either get their win out of the way and let the rest of the day be enjoyable, or will give us a chance to move on with our day if they continue to find new and inventive […]

Reliever Movement, Bullpen Space, Random Cubs, and Other Cubs Bullets

You have one more day to sign up for Bleacher Nation Pro at half-price! Just use the code BN50 on the annual plan, and boom, half off. If you missed it, Ryan Helsley is off the board, signing a two-year, $28 million deal with the Orioles , with an opt-out in the middle. You could argue that each of Devin Williams (down year, but still great peripherals, and better seasons before that) and Pete Fairbanks (much better 2025 than Helsley) should top whatever Helsley got (with Brad Keller a ...

2025 Dodgers season review: Jack Little

Jack Little’s long road finally reached the majors this season, though his time with the Dodgers was brief, at least in Los Angeles. The Dodgers drafted Little out of Stanford in the fifth round in 2019, and like many prospects had nowhere to play in 2020 with no minor league season that year. Then came […]

Cubs historical sleuthing: Burt Hooton edition

This is a photo of Burt Hooton pitching for the Cubs. Well, you’re thinking, that’s obvious. But you’re probably also thinking, “How is Al going to figure this one out? There really aren’t many clues.” Ah, but that’s where you are incorrect, dear reader. There are actually plenty of clues here. Here’s the full photo […]

Sunday morning Rangers things

Good morning, folks… The Rangers stuff is pretty sparse today. Reliever Ryan Helsley and the Baltimore Orioles have agreed on a 2 year, $28 million deal, per reports. David Laurila has his Sunday notes column up at Fangraphs.
