If you are a MLB team, you’ll have fallow stretches. Let’s consider the 2025 season: The World Series winning Los Angeles Dodgers went 10-14 in the month of July, but still secured their division with a 93-69 record en route to MLB’s first repeat title winner in 25 years. April 10-May 7 saw the Toronto […]
The wagon keeps on rolling for the second-ranked Diamond Heels, who followed up a huge series win against Georgia Tech by dispatching a legitimately decent High Point team.

It’s rubber match time in the Battle of the Bats between two teams that have scored 34 runs, walloped 12 homers, and — most amazing — sped to six triples in the first two games of the series. On the White Sox side, Munetaka Murakami has homered in five games in a row, tying team […]
The excitement for the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday came from the Major League team, which shut out the Los Angeles Dodgers in a thrilling 3-0 affair. But there was excitement on the farm as well, with all four of their Minor League Baseball A-ball affiliates in action. So let’s dive into it. Link to […]
If you’re an elite young ballplayer looking for long-term financial security, you picked the right time to be alive. On April 15th, Kevin McGonigle of the Tigers inked an eight-year, $150 million contract extension which will keep him in Detroit until 2034. Eight days before that, Pirates phenom Konnor Griffin signed a nine-year, $140 million […]
It was an interesting week for the Boston College baseball program.

Go get ‘em, Edward.
Compared to last season, the Colorado Rockies continue to find themselves in unfamiliar territory.The Rockies may still be below .500 but are playing largely competent, competitive baseball.

After treading water in Double-A Montgomery for parts of the last two seasons, here’s a hot take: Brayden Taylor appears ready for a promotion to Durham. If you look him up, his 99 wRC+ through 14 games doesn’t jump off the page, but the underlying data suggests he’s ready for a new challenge. Taylor was […]

The Royals are entering the “easier” portion of their schedule as we slide into May, with the Angels in town this weekend, then a trip to Sacramento to take on the A’s. But when you have the worst record in baseball, there is no easy part of the schedule. Other teams see you on the […]
We have made it back from Japan. It was a wonderful holiday. Thanks to Tom M for doing a great job of running things while I was gone. The last few days we saw a fair bit of sports. We went to a: Wearing Blue Jays caps got me into a lot of conversations. Everywhere […]

In 2022, the “It’s Not My Moneyball” series was created in response to the owners’ lockout, which disrupted Spring Training and arguably cost Clayton Kershaw a perfect game in Minneapolis (I had fun). As the season starts, the World Baseball Classic concludes, we must revive this series as trouble looms in the distance, hanging in […]

I love JJ Wetherholt. You love JJ Wetherholt. Oli Marmol seems to love JJ Wetherholt, and, presumably his mom loves him, too. I’m not shy to admit that I’ve become enamored by a guy that I hope is in Cardinals red for a very long time – and immortalized in a red jacket long after […]
Here are the lineups for the final game in Chicago. Let’s discuss. For the Phillies: For the Cubs:
Right now, everybody’s talking about bullpens. Earlier this week, the Los Angeles Dodgers put newly signed closer Edwin Diaz on the injured list after a disastrous start to his LA career, as he undergoes surgery to remove loose bodies from his elbow. Over in Queens, their two new bullpen arms, Devin Williams and Luke Weaver, […]
With the 2026 NFL Draft beginning tonight, we take a look at the two Syracuse players with the best odds of being selected….up first is the latest alum of #PunterU, Jack Stonehouse. Punting at the professional level has always been in Stonehouse’s blood. His father, John, punted for the New York Giants, and his cousin […]
The Royals have stumbled out to an 8-17 start, the worst record in baseball. Despite playoff aspirations coming out of spring training, they may have already played their way out of contention before the calendar hits May. The frustrating aspect of their losing is that on paper, this is not a terrible team. They largely […]
Last night was a very on brand game for the 2026 Nats. The offense was there, but the pitching was not good enough and they made a couple mistakes on defense. With Cade Cavalli on the mound, they will hope to get better results on the mound. They need Cavalli to go deeper into ball […]
