Pitching was a big reason why Arizona made it back to the College World Series last season. The return of many key arms for 2026 makes it likely the Wildcats will again have a stellar staff. Who guides those pitchers, however, is uncertain. Michael Lev of the Arizona Daily Star is reporting that pitching coach […]
Adrian Del Castillo was coming into the 2025 season with the glow of a successful 2024 behind him. Clayton accurately identified his defense as an issue in that review, but he and all other parties agreed that the bat could play at the major league level. The question would be come, could it overcome the […]
Earlier today, the Chicago Bears beat the Cleveland Browns, which ensured them a spot in the postseason tourney for at least another week, but then things got even better. Thanks to the Denver Broncos beating the Green Bay Packers, the Bears are back in first place in the NFC North. They also went from the […]
Jorge Polanco’s career in baseball officially started when he signed with the Twins as an international free agent out of the Dominican Republic back in 2009. Five years later, in his age-20 season, Polanco made his major league debut with Minnesota. Over the course of that first season in 2014 and the 2015 season, Polanco […]
In one of the less surprising free-agent signings of the winter, Merrill Kelly has returned to the desert, signing a two-year contract with the Diamondbacks, for a reported $40 million. It’s a deal which both sides had clearly been keen on pursuing, even before Kelly was dealt to the Texas Rangers at the deadline. The […]

The Texans have had a lot of different types of games this season. They’ve had the low-scoring thrillers, improbable comebacks, and they’ve had surprise upset performances. But, one thing that eluded the a Texans for the majority of this year was having a complete game. A game where you left feeling good about the offense, […]
Missouri men’s basketball put together one of its best defensive performances of the season Sunday on the way to an 82-60 win over Bethune-Cookman in Columbia. The Tigers have limited their opponents to 60 points or less three times this year. MU turned that defense into a major portion of its offensive output, scoring 23 […]
Quick Game Result The Commanders took a 13-0 lead in the first half, and never allowed the Giants to tie or take the lead. Still, Washington made several mistakes, with two turnovers in the 4th quarter to make the win a lot tougher to achieve than it should have been. Final score: Pre-game notes RB […]
The Arizona Cardinals have Trey McBride. Everyone else doesn’t seem to be playing at that level, although you can show some excitement about Walter Nolen, it would just be nice to see him healthy week in and week out. However, the Arizona Cardinals are just a bad football team with one elite player in McBride […]
It’s rare for the Pittsburgh Pirates to earn praise for a trade they made, but one deal agreed to nearly eight years ago still has an effect on the organization to this day. Bleacher Report writer Joel Reuter praised the Pirates for their decision to trade for All-Star outfielder Bryan Reynolds back in 2018 when […]
It’s Sunday, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! The 2025 Winter Meetings in Orlando, Florida, turned out to be a major dud, at least when it comes to Yankees-related news. Still, despite the lack of baseball news, it was still a big week in the Yankees Universe. […]
Arizona Cardinals kick returner Andre Baccellia will not return to the game versus the Houston Texans. He was taken off the field on a cart with 1:46 left before halftime. Baccellia took the kickoff after Texans’ kicker Kai Fairbairn had converted on a 22-yard field to advance the lead to 23-7. Baccellia took the kick […]
The Washington Commanders are visiting the New York Giants this week as they start their four-game stretch against NFC East teams to finish the season. This will be a sad game to watch with two teams that have five wins between them in Week 15, and they’ve already played each other once. Jayden Daniels won’t […]
Julian Fernández signed a minor league deal with the Dodgers in January which included a non-roster invitation to spring training, and the right-hander pitched in the majors for the first time in four years. He was the 35th of a franchise-record-tying 40 pitchers used by the team in 2025. The Dodgers media guide noted that […]
Coming into the 2025 season, we had gotten to know Daulton Varsho as a great glove/low average/with some power guy. He had a .217/.289/.398 batting line with 38 home runs in his first two seasons with the team. The old man in me has a hard time believing a .217 hitter could be a valuable […]

Bunny Shaw helped herself to four goals as Manchester City ended their 2025 WSL campaign in style by hitting six past Aston Villa. Jamaican striker Bunny Shaw was on fire, hitting four of the six with goals from Aoba Fujino and Viveanne Miedema sandwiched in between. The match also saw a return to action for […]
You typically need some amount of help to win any baseball game. Even a fairly straightforward 5-1 win that was never really close probably needs a couple bad pitches or some mishit balls to seal the deal. However, everyone appearing in an MLB game is still in the top 0.01 percent of people to play […]
Of all the seasons in Diamondbacks’ history, this was certainly one of them. Given the mediocrity of the final record, I think it’s surprising how many of the games might stick around – just not for the right reasons. We score ten runs in an inning! And lose… A player hits four home-runs in a […]
The Copa Del Rey continues on this week, with resumption of action in the round of 32. When it comes to FC Barcelona, they head to Guadalajara to take on a lower division side, in what should be not exactly the most difficult match on the schedule. Barcelona have two breaking team news items for […] The post Barcelona Team News at Guadalajara: Robert Lewandowski, Wojciech Szczesny appeared first on The Sports Bank .
