Three nights ago Louisville looked unstoppable in a 90-70 win over California and Stanford managed just 40 points in a 7-point home loss to a bad Notre Dame team. A lot can change in 72 hours, apparently. U of L suffered just its second conference road loss under the direction of Pat Kelsey in an […]

Espanyol manager Manolo Gonzalez has been full of praise for Barcelona star Raphinha ahead of Saturday’s Catalan derby. Raphinha has been bizarrely snubbed for several high-profile individual awards recently, but the Espanyol boss has no doubts at all about the Brazilian’s quality. “He’s not talked about enough, but for me he’s crucial. Other players get […]

The Dallas Cowboys are the exception. Unfortunately for all of us in this context being the exception is not good.

In little more than six weeks, pitchers and catchers will be reporting to Salt River Fields, as spring training gets under way before the 2026 season.

Before staff writer Zach Mason his most treasured southpaw, the acquisition of Gabe Speier was first the root of a beloved, now-prescient, joke from Jordan Schusterman, one half of the Cespedes Family BBQ duo. Magicking relievers from the fringes of rosters into high-leverage dynamos is difficult work, but Seattle’s reputation has been well-earned. The 2022 […]

Two in one day? Only for you guys! Season In Review sticks with the pitchers but shifts to the starting side of things.

Pick your trope about coming home, it appears that you can apply it to Chad Morris. It seems that a he is currently the front runner for Clemson’s now vacant Offensive Coordinator Position. The news has been quite polarizing. On one hand there’s the possibility of recreating the magic that started in 2011 and ultimately […]

Overview 2025 Review When the 2024 season came to a close, so did Christian Walker’s tenure as an all-star caliber first baseman. To counter this loss, Mike Hazen got aggressive.

As it has about every other day for the last several weeks, it happened again this Friday morning at my fitness joint. A fellow asked, “Can the Cards beat Duke?” I replied as bluntly as I have all the previous times. “We don’t play Duke. We play Stanford.” Don’t rush it, fans, those Blue Devils […]

Louisville’s top defensive performer from the 2025 season is running it back for 2026. Clev Lubin, who established himself as arguably the second best best edge rusher in the ACC this season, says he’s coming back for one last ride as a Cardinal next season. In his first season after transferring in from Coastal Carolina, […]

Back in October, I took a look at Paul Toboni’s history of drafts with the Boston Red Sox in hopes of finding a clear trend in his draft philosophy. What I discovered was a tendency to target hitters in the first round, up the middle position players, and big-time strikeout stuff when he does go […]

Let’s just say that Daniel Descalso was no one’s favorite Cub. He was signed after the Cubs traded Tommy La Stella to the Angels for a minor leaguer who never pitched in a single game in the Cubs organization, much less in the majors. Then TLS went on to have a monster first half in […]

It still seems weird to write about the Transfer Portal in a positive light. Let’s be honest, last year was the first actual year Clemson used the portal and it certainly helped, though maybe not as much as everyone hoped. Yes, there was griping last year, but it wasn’t as bad as previous seasons. The […]

Obviously, things have changed considerably in the last 24 hours. The signing of Tatsuya Imai changes the pitching landscape considerably. So, one name that was included with the starters will now move to the bullpen. However, before we get there we need to take a step back and look at bases per out in some […]
