Twins 5, Mets 3: Buxton, Keaschall lead comeback win

With the Twins trying to avoid extending their losing streak to 5, Simeon Woods Richardson was tasked with out-dueling the Mets Nolan McLean. The assignment proved to be difficult, as McLean would take a perfect game into the 6th inning. Meanwhile, old nemesis Francisco Lindor smashed a 3-run homer in the third off of SWR, […]

11-4 walloping in Washington wrecks Braves’ win streak

On April 21, 2024, the Braves began the day with a six-game winning streak. It ended in fairly routine fashion: the Braves took an early 3-0 lead over the Rangers, but Darius Vines couldn’t prop it up, and they lost, 6-4. That was the last time (before now) the Braves had a winning streak of […]

Elly and the Reds blast past Rays in 12-6 drubbing

The Cincinnati Reds mashed their way past the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night at the Trop, hitting five home runs along the way. At one point, they held a 12-2 lead – that came as they entered the Bottom of the 9th inning – before things went a little sideways for reliever Kyle Nicolas […]

Please tell me this is the low point: Reds 12, Rays 6

It is hard to believe that this is the same team that recently had a six game win streak. Maybe the Rays were never that good, and the Yankees and White Sox just aren’t much competition? Yesterday the Rays lost in part due to bad luck and less than stellar defense. Tonight, the team fell […]

Game #23 GameThread: Jays @ Angels

Game two of three in Anaheim. And it is another late one for you guys out east (tho I guess I’m further east than any of you). Though, if everything goes to plan, I should be flying home today. I say if all goes to plan, because we’ve had a couple times when our flight […]

4/21 Gamethread: Giants vs. Dodgers

The San Francisco Giants welcome the Los Angeles Dodgers to Oracle Park tonight to begin a three-game series. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Landen Roupp, who enters tonight’s game with a 2.38 ERA, 2.20 FIP, with 24 strikeouts to seven walks in 22.2 innings pitched. His last start was in the […]

Game # 24, Athletics vs. Mariners Game Thread

Fresh off a victory last night in Seattle, the first place A’s take on the Seattle Mariners tonight at T-Mobile Park. The A’s have not sat atop the American League West Division since June 19, 2021. It’s early and hardly an opportunity for a parade since they are just one game over .500, but it […]

Your Seattle Mariners hot takes, ranked and rated

Last week, I dropped a request in the FEED for all y’all’s hottest Mariners takes and you definitely served up some HEAT. Here is a handy ranking system: Blake Beaven = 1 star – a fine yet fairly tepid takeChris Bosio = 2 stars – workmanlike, solid, but not earth-shatteringHisashi Iwakuma = 3 stars – […]

Mets Player Performance Meter: Pitchers, April 6-19

I thought this meter would be better than the hitting meter because the offense has really been the problem. But honestly? It’s not that much better. There are more positive grades for sure, but there are almost as many pitchers mired in the poop right now as the hitters, which is almost impressive. All of […]

Dodgers on Deck: Wednesday, April 22 at Giants

Shohei Ohtani takes the ball in the middle game of the series between the Dodgers and Giants on Wednesday night at Oracle Park in San Francisco. Ohtani has pitched exactly six innings in each of his three starts this season, with two total runs allowed, one of them earned. In three career starts against the […]

Maryland baseball blows out Mount St. Mary’s, 19-8

Maryland baseball kicked off Tuesday’s midweek contest against Mount St. Mary’s with a seven-run first inning, ignited by the hands of Jordan Crosland. The redshirt sophomore launched the first pitch of the game 411 feet over the left center wall for a solo home run. Then, with two outs and bases loaded, freshman Bud Coombs […]

Colorado Rockies game no. 24 thread: Randy Vásquez vs. Jimmy Herget

Tonight, the Colorado Rockies (9-14) welcome the San Diego Padres (15-7) to Coors Field for the first of a three-game stand. As a reminder, the Padres swept the Rockies in four games at Petco Park just over a week ago. Starting for the Padres is Randy Vásquez. This will be his fourth start in 2025. […]

Tuesday night game thread: at Royals, 7:40

Adley Rutschman is back in the Orioles lineup. His stay on the IL was the minimum of 10 days, dating back to April 10, when he began dealing with left ankle inflammation. It sounds like his recovery was quite smooth, and he stayed in shape. So no rehab games were needed, and instead he is […]
