It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! This week, the Yankees took to the road to face a pair of down-on-their luck rivals, heading up north to Boston and south to Houston for the first time this season. As always, with every road […]
The Cincinnati Reds continued their roster revamp on Sunday morning, activating catcher Jose Trevino off the injured list after he’d been out of action at the big league level since back on April 4th. Trevino, 33, has logged just 12 PA so far this season as a back issue has been dogging him since the […]
After actually winning a game on Saturday night, the Phillies will try to repeat the feat on Sunday afternoon in the finale of their series against the Braves. Aaron Nola gets the start for the Phillies. The veteran righty is 1-2 with a 5.06 ERA this season. He’ll be opposed by Braves ace Chris Sale, […]
Texas Rangers lineup for April 26, 2026 against the A’s: starting pitchers are Kumar Rocker for the Rangers and J.T. Ginn for the A’s. Texas plays the series finale against the A’s this afternoon. It is kind of a big game…the difference between winning two straight series and not, the difference between a winning week […]
The Atlanta Braves are looking to extend their successful series record, but for the Philadelphia Phillies, after last week’s embarrassing sweep against them on their home turf, they’re looking to repay the favor and snap that extension. Let’s look at these rosters. The lineup for the Braves looks pretty identical to yesterday’s with a familiar […]
A.J. Russell started for Hickory, striking out three and walking two in two innings while allowing two runs. Moises Morales struck out six in five shutout innings. Paulino Santana had a hit. Yolfran Castillo had a hit and a stolen base. Hector Osorio had a hit. Josh Spring had a hit. Hickory box score Hub […]
The Mariners drew more fans in April than they have in 20-plus years. T-Mobile Park has hosted 539,263 fans so far in 2026. That’s the second most in March and April in the history of the park, only bested by 619,771 fans in April 2002. The average attendance over 17 games (31,721 fans) is sixth […]
It’s a given year, and a given baseball season, and so the Detroit Tigers’ bullpen is a problem. Despite a nice run of 3-1-1 in their last five series, things still feel too precarious for any comfort. The club has the 19th best ERA and the 23rd best FIP out of their relief corps currently. […]
I find it appropriate to start out by hat tipping the Dodgers offense. They curb stomped Colin Rea and Javier Assad in this one. A further hat tip to four Dodger relievers who combined to allow just two hits and a walk over the final four innings of the game. The Dodgers offense and bullpen […]
Brad Lidge is an archaeologist in real life. The following, however, does not take place in real life. It takes place in the year 3026, when the Phillies, and the sport they played, have been forgotten by all. All that is, except for the archaeologists who study the distant, dusty past. Among them is a […]
Another day of minor league baseball is in the books. See the results below. AAA: Sugar Land Space Cowboys (14-12) Game One – lost 5-3 (BOX SCORE) Alexander got the start for Sugar Land but struggled allowing 5 runs over 5 innings of work. The offense got on the board in the 3rd on a […]
The Arizona Cardinals had seven draft picks in this year’s 2026 NFL draft. Several new pieces should help this roster, with an emphasis on the offense. And it should, with a new head coach whose responsibility is to rejuvenate that side of the ball. The offensive line appears to be the biggest winner now that […]
Trocheck is likely gone, Fox is likely staying, and Schneider’s fate hinges on whether a team meets the Rangers’ price. A busy offseason is taking shape.
When sitting down to write this post, I spent more trying to figure out the introduction than I did everything else. Because how do you introduce Aaron Judge? He’s the Captain of the Yankees, the 3x AL MVP, the American League single-season home run king, the 2017 Rookie of the Year, the most recent Captain […]
When the Nationals acquired Jorbit Vivas in exchange for Sean Paul Linan, I was a bit puzzled. The Nats already had a left handed utility infielder in Jose Tena, and giving up a real prospect like Linan felt like a lot for a fringe roster player. However, Vivas has proven me wrong so far and […]
The knives are coming for Alex Cora. They always do whenever John Henry and FSG are involved in the departure of a major Red Sox figure. But the fact that Alex Cora has plenty of friends in the media and the game writ large will make the next few weeks extremely interesting as reports about […]
Two Dodgers minor league outfielders had monster games to highlight Saturday action on the farm. Player of the day One day after hitting his first professional home run, Ontario outfielder AJ Soldra hit two more on Saturday in San Jose, and he tripled in a three-hit, three-RBI, three-run game. Soldra, drafted in the 16th round […]
Good morning, folks… The Texas Rangers beat the A’s by a score of 4-3 yesterday. The Rangers bullpen came up big with four shutout innings in the win. Evan Carter got his first start against a lefty this season in yesterday’s game. Evan Grant did a YouTube Q&A fielding questions about the Rangers. Cody Bradford […]
Team News D-backs not worried after Gallen (shoulder), Perdomo (ankle) exit Mexico City Series opener “[Gallen] had his shirt off and he had a big seam mark there,” manager Torey Lovullo said postgame. “It impacted his shoulder in a good spot. I think it’s going to get really sore, like a charley horse of some […]
Saturday was a perfect day for sports, with the sun shining in crystal-clear skies. After a great afternoon for the Spring Game, the sun draped the baseball and softball games, which were also in Eugene. The positive football vibes must have carried over into our Diamond Ducks, as they both came out on the winning […]
The Mariners won a barn-burner in St. Louis yesterday and look to Emerson Hancock to secure a sweep at 11:15. Happy Sunday everybody! In Mariners news… Around the league… Nick’s pick…
Saturday’s biggest story in the Atlanta Braves farm system had to be the weather. Not only were half of the games rained out, but the best performance of the day was cut short by a rain delay. Brett Sears got pulled a bit early because of that rain delay, but he was pitching a one-hit […]
Todd Schaefer is one of the top offensive minds in NCAA women’s basketball. Schaefer has worked with some of the best pure scorers in the game including WNBA star Kelsey Plum, Minnesota Lynx rookie Saylor Poffenbarger and now Grace Slaughter at Mizzou. Both his office and his Columbia apartment are stocked with play designs and […]
The rain ahead of Saturday’s contest between the Atlanta Braves and the Philadelphia Phillies may have forced Brian Snitker’s Braves Hall of Fame induction ceremony indoors but it certainly didn’t dampen the spirits of anybody who was in the house for Snit’s big day. That included Braves Hall-of-Famers Tim Hudson and Terry Pendleton, who were […]
Casey Mize has had an interesting career since being drafted 1st overall in 2018. Despite career highlights that include a Minor League no-hitter in his AA debut and a 2025 All-Star Game appearance, Mize has often felt underwhelming for a one-time top prospect. Some of that is due to injuries like Tommy John surgery wiping […]
