Week 17 of the NFL regular season came to a close with 17 Maryland football alumni seeing the field. By the end of a season, every team holds the goal of winning games and being in postseason discussions. The Giants fell short of both in 2025. However, individual milestones that come across a season-long marathon […]
Another loss last weekend for the Arizona Cardinals. What does that make now? In a weird twist, one more loss this season would break a 127-year record with the only roster to lose 14 games in a single season. RELATED: CARDINALS CAN ACHIEVE HISTORICAL STAT Happy New Year’s for a lot of teams, mostly the […]
First of all, a big Happy New year from Battery Power. Here’s to another year of Braves coverage. Well the big news of the day was the Braves being linked in multiple spots to Tatsuya Imai. I have been pushing Imai a bit for the past few weeks for the Braves, as he makes a […]
In asking this, I am stealing a question that The Athletic’s “The Pulse” newsletter posed to their staff and readers. The answers were compelling and touched on a wide range of topics. There was not a great deal of joy for the historically bad 2025 Colorado Rockies and their fans. But I’m a big believer […]
The Dallas Mavericks (12-22) have returned home from their recent winless road trip for a New Years Day bout with the Philadelphia 76ers (17-14). Dallas, who has struggled mightily on the road this season, managed to lose to the Warriors, Kings and Blazers while on their California trip. In fairness, who amongst us hasn’t lost […]
Well so much for that. About three hours after 247’s Matt Zenitz reported that Dashawn Spears would be entering the transfer portal Wednesday night, Zenitz later broke the news that Spears will be taking his name out of the portal. The news was confirmed by both Blake Baker and Spears himself, who posted their reactions […]
I just want to say thanks to everybody who’s helped make this year a really special one for both me personally and the website as a whole. Thank you a million times over and let’s make sure 2026 is an even better year — especially if our Braves bounce back. Here’s a random clip:
All the news and rumors for the Houston Astros and from all around MLB – it’s in here! The final offseason Crawfish Boil of 2025! The deal is 1 year for $5M. A former Houston Cougar who also attended Alvin CC and Dulles HS in Sugar Land, Hernandez owns a career 7.06 ERA across 21.2 […]
It was yet another dramatic ending to a Clemson Basketball game the Tigers led nearly the entire contest. Still, in the end, Brad Brownell’s team was able to hang on and secure an opening ACC win with a victory over the Syracuse Orange. The Tigers opened up a 12-3 lead at the first TV timeout […]
I can’t remember the last time I saw so much news about a trade that hasn’t happened yet. The ongoing saga of the St. Louis Cardinals possibly trading Brendan Donovan has now taken another turn or two and there’s no immediate end in sight as the talks with the San Francisco Giants have apparently stalled […]
A draw on Monday means the Royals are 10th and sitting pretty in the top half of the table. A goal from the star man Daniel Kyerewaa opened the scoring and then the Royals seemed OK after that. They played very well defensively but it was a slip-up at the back that allowed three men […]
We’ve been doing this for the last few years, your mission is to tell us: What was the best thing that happened to you this year? What was the best part of this past baseball season for you? For me, best thing that happen? We had a fantastic holiday in Africa. We did safaris for […]
The long year of injuries is almost over for the Arizona Cardinals but it couldn’t have finished without a couple more victims. Kei’Trel Clark was placed on injured reserve yesterday and today the team announced that they will not have wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. for the seasons finale against the Los Angeles Rams. It […]
The Jays signed RHP Nic Enright to a two-year minor league contract. Generally minor league contracts are one-year but Enright will be rehabbing from Tommy John surgery most of the coming season. Enright turns 29 on January 8th. He’s thrown 31 MLB innings with a 2.03 ERA for the Guardians, all last season. He was […]
The A’s are desperate for starting pitching right now and they have plenty of arms that at one point were considered top prospects. None of them have panned out as hoped so far but there’s still plenty of time for most of them. In today’s Season In Review we take a look at one of […]
The Arizona Cardinals finish things up on Sunday with a game against the Los Angeles Rams. However, before that game, the local media voted on a couple of awards and not shocking, Trey McBride was the 2025 Arizona Cardinals Lloyd Herberg MVP Award. From the team: McBride was named team MVP after a record-setting season in […]
And then there were five, a veritable “Who’s he?” of this year’s Diamondbacks – both on and off the field. Here’s a little about each of them, and a poll [browser and ad-blocker depending, perhaps!] Results will be tallied at some point on Friday, with the result announced on Saturday for those too lazy to […]
Earlier this month I sat down with fellow Rock M volleyball enthusiasts Colin Simmons and Matthew Gustafson along with KCOU Service to Seven host Jeffrey Calhoun to discuss the 2025 Mizzou volleyball season. The team fell just short of the NCAA Tournament due to several key losses in the final month of the season. With […]
Bruce Bochy’s job with the team pays off immediately. Shayna Rubin has posted news that the San Francisco Giants “are close” to signing starter Tyler Mahle to a 1-year deal. [Update: Mark Feinsand confirms it’s a done deal.] When healthy, the righty was Bochy’s second-best starter in 2025 when they were both Rangers. Unfortunately, Mahle […]
The Syracuse Orange (9-4) men’s basketball team closes out 2025 when they host the Clemson Tigers (10-3). The action starts at 2:00 in the JMA Dome and will be televised on ESPN2. Before the game, catch up on some recent posts: Sam’s in-depth look at the Orange offense Dom’s game preview with Shakin the Southland […]
Background Blaze Alexander was drafted by the Diamondbacks in the 2018 draft with the 339th overall pick, out of IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. Blaze’s biggest setback in his minor league career was the pandemic, but he’d work his way up through the Diamondbacks farm system and reach AAA by 2022. He’d then spend the […]

Today, you can re-read our 10 most-read articles from 2025. Tomorrow, we’ll present our staff favorites. The articles below are posted counting down […]
This year brought another winning season, giving the Royals back-to-back-winning seasons for the first time since 2014-15. But the team fell short of a playoff spot, a disappointing result that reflects the raised expectations. From another excellent season from Bobby Witt Jr., to outstanding starting pitching, to a terrible offensive outfield, to Maikel Garcia breaking […]
Next up in our look back at the A’s players in 2025, we turn back to the bullpen, remembering our time with Michael Kelly. What role will he play in the A’s pen in 2026? How was he acquired? The San Diego Padres selected Michael Kelly in the first round of the 2011 MLB Amateur Draft with […]
The Pittsburgh Pirates have been busy this offseason, acquiring several veteran hitters to join the team. While the Pirates will look different on the field next season, there is still a need to bring on a few more pieces to the puzzle. Bleacher Report writer Joel Reuter believes the Pirates need to add a shortstop […]
