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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

The first drive was fun until Jacoby Brissett struck again. His inability to finish drives continues to be an issue, and he’s missed a number of throws over the middle the last two weeks, all of that is why the Arizona Cardinals trail 10-3 at the half. But I go back to what I’ve said […]

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 […]

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 […]

What did we learn about the Edmonton Oilers this week? Not much. The Oilers have long been fans of the zig-zag. Think they’re turning the corner? No, no. That game against Dallas was a classic Oilers trap. Coming off an emotional win vs arch-nemesis Florida, they had one of their several letdown games this season. …

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 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 […]

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 […]

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 ...

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 […]

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 […]
