Pete Crow-Armstrong has homered eight times across five of the Cubs’ last 10 games, yet his team is 2-3 when he homers and 5-5 overall. That doesn’t mean he’s any less valuable than his season statistics clearly indicate, but it’s a reminder that one player can’t do it all. The center fielder’s assault on his … The post Cubs Should Probably Stop Wasting PCA’s Heroics appeared first on .

Kyle Schwarber has been on an absolute tear. Over his last three games, he’s batting .500 (5-for-10) with 3 home runs, 4 RBI, 5 runs scored, 3 walks, and a 2.015 OPS. He has 43 home runs this season, which leads all of MLB.

The Braves wrapped up by far their most pivotal series of the season on Monday afternoon with a disappointing 1-0 loss that was perfectly pitched by both sides and ultimately decided by one swing of the bat late in the game. Braves Hold Serve That was basically the story of the entire series. It was […]
Rehabbing a sports injury can be a thankless job. All the time and effort can be for naught. Even considering Joe Musgrove’s extensive arm injury history, he was the one starting pitcher the Friar Faithful could rely on in a big game. Since undergoing Tommy John surgery in the winter of 2024, the big right-hander […]
Eight years ago, Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton took an unorthodox approach to roster construction: What if the Seminoles didn’t use a point guard? Or at least not in the typical sense. Instead, the Seminoles backcourt relied on a communal approach. On paper, Trent Forrest spent the most time at lead guard and served as […]
The Giants have a clean Week 1 target in front of them. Dallas expects to be without Tyler Smith for […]
The Yankees designated right-hander Chase Hampton for assignment Sunday, a transaction that is easy to miss in the middle of […]
Did you forget about the Yankees? I know you did not because you are not allowed to. But New York has had a relatively quiet season by their flamboyant and national-TV-darling standards. A big part of this is that the AL East has looked pretty much the same for a while now: The Rays have maintained a comfortable but not secure division lead; the less said about what's happening down there with the bird teams, the better; and in the middle, the Red Sox have ended child hunger and positioned the...
The Cardinals announced five players to be their 2026 captains: Quarterback Jacoby Brissett, center Hjalte Froholdt, safety Budda Baker, linebacker Mack Wilson, and long snapper Casey Kreiter. All of these guys are deserving of the honor, but in a year where we’ve seen multiple teams named up to 10 players as season captains, were there […]
Dodgers minor league infielder Oswaldo Osorio hit .500 last week for the playoff-bound Class-A Ontario Tower Buzzers, and for his efforts captured the final California League player of the week award of the 2026 season. Osorio started at first base, third base, and designated hitter last week for Ontario, and in his five contests had […]

I see a lot of discussion on this one. Craig Counsell has hit the point where he’s deciding between two less than optimal options. The Cubs had to decide between a tiring starter or a bullpen that has not even one lockdown arm out there. The closest thing they’ve had to a lockdown arm has […]
Nick Pivetta took the mound for the San Diego Padres for the first time in a major league game since the second week of April. No one was quite sure what to expect from the right-hander, but when his day was complete he had pitched five scoreless innings and earned a win as the Padres […]
Good morning, foLLks, and happy Tuesday! The Mariners enjoyed their third-to-last off day of the season yesterday, allowing us to bask in Sunday’s 2-0 win for an extra 24 hours.

Happy Tuesday A’s fans! Last night, the Athletics kicked off their penultimate homestand of the season with a 6-5 walk-off victory against the Toronto Blue Jays. The A’s ability to cobble together a competent pitching staff was the team’s biggest concern entering the season, and boy, has that come to fruition. The team has the […]
The Yankees were one of a handful of teams that didn’t play on Labor Day, but not many top American League contenders were in action. The Rays, White Sox, Astros, and Rangers all joined the Yanks in taking a breather on the offday. At least Aaron Judge is officially back! So call that a notable […]
Game Recaps D-backs throw 9 scoreless innings before offense erupts in the 10th by Robert Falkoff [MLB] On paper, it shaped up as a daunting task for the Diamondbacks. Arizona was going with a bullpen committee approach against the Royals on Monday, and facing reigning American League Pitcher of the Month Noah Cameron. Thanks to […]

When the 2026 season got underway, who had on their bingo card that Los Angeles Angels right-hander Walbert Ureña would end up being one of the best rookie starting pitchers in baseball? Probably not very many.
