MLB owners and players will start CBA talks soon. What happens next?
As you know, the collective-bargaining agreement between MLB owners and the MLB Players Association ends on Dec. 1, 2026. The last time such an expiration happened, five years ago, owners began a lockout on Dec. 1, 2021 that ran well into March and threatened the entire 2022 season. That didn’t happen, though Spring Training 2022 […]

Atlanta Braves vs. Detroit Tigers Game Thread: April 30
The month draws to a close with a Thursday matinee on getaway day where the Braves seek a sweep.
Colorado Rockies game no. 32 thread: Michael Lorenzen vs. Andrew Abbott
Wake up, friends, baseball starts early today! After struggling to break through in the first game of the series, the bats came alive in the second game for the Colorado Rockies as they defeated the Cincinnati Reds 13-2 on Wednesday.

Get to know the Arizona Cardinals 2026 undrafted free agents: Ka’ena Decambra is an experienced, versatile offensive lineman
The Arizona Cardinals had seven draft picks in the 2026 NFL Draft and then followed it up with seven undrafted free agents. Over the next couple of days we will take a look at each of undrafted free agents to get to know them a bit, but also so they get their chance to show […]
Pressing Questions: ABS, the “Grey Zone” and Imperfection
This discussion comes off the heels of the Mariners win on Sonday night over the Cardinals. The game was noteworthy for Rob Refsnyder’s big pinch-hit home run in the top of the ninth, and the manner in which it came about. Refsnyder watched a pitch about three inches off the plate called for strike 2, […]
Game #32: St. Louis Cardinals vs. Pittsburgh Pirates
St. Louis Cardinals vs. Pittsburgh Pirates, April 30, 2026, 12:35 p.m. ET Location: PNC Park, Pittsburgh, PA Broadcast: KDKA AM/FM, Sportsnet-PIT Pitching Matchup: Hunter Dobbins (season debut) vs. Paul Skenes (4-1, 2.48 ERA) The Pittsburgh Pirates are at home hosting the St. Louis Cardinals this afternoon at beautiful PNC Park. Please remember our Game Day […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: George “Jumbo” Brown
Some baseball nicknames are exaggerations. For George “Jumbo” Brown, his was more of a scouting report. Jumbo Brown was listed at 6-foot-4 and 300 pounds, making him one of the largest players of his era and a pitcher whose size alone guaranteed he would be remembered. Long before modern strength programs, nutrition plans, and radar […]
Mike Schmidt on struggling Phillies’ and firing managers
As fans continue to digest the news of Rob Thomson’s dismissal as Phillies manager, at least one legendary member of the franchise isn’t wild about the idea of firing a manager so early in the season. Speaking to me on Monday, prior to Thomson’s firing, for my Hittin’ Season podcast, powered by WHYY, Hall of […]
Michael Harris II sits as Braves shuffle bottom of the order
Michael Harris II was seen favoring his ailing quad during last night’s win over the Tigers, and as such, it’s not surprising to see him get another breather in a short turnaround matinee game, especially given that Framber Valdez throws with his left hand. The absence of Harris is part of a wholesale rejiggering of […]
Red Sox News & Links: Hit Piece Week rolls on in the wake of Alex Cora’s firing
Red Sox Hit Piece Week rolls on, everyone! Today it’s Alex Speier, arguably the current dean of the Red Sox beat, who has a big piece diving into the ways that the relationship between Craig Breslow and Alex Cora slowly fractured over the past few years. The juiciest nugget in this one? “Breslow contemplated significant […]
Has Casey Schmitt arrived?
Casey Schmitt is an anomaly. A player better known for his defense who has been decoupled from defense because the Giants just so happen to have players slightly better than him at his main positions but also because of his bat? On a team that famously cannot hit? How is this possible? A fluke of […]
Reds place Brandon Williamson on injured list with shoulder fatigue
Cincinnati Reds lefty Brandon Williamson exited Wednesday evening’s start against the Colorado Rockies after having thrown just 58 pitches across 3.0 IP. It was the latest in a series of frustrating starts for the 28 year old, who for the season has actually walked more hitters (20) than he’s struck out (19). After the game, […]
The James Wood timeline
James Wood is 23 years old and after a disappointing finish to last season where he hit .223 with 7 homers after the break while striking out 105 times in 269 PAs, he's back to meeting high expectations. The early season is always full of wild variation (Currently a Nats team with Alex Call, Dom Smith, and Ildermo Vargas would be DESTROYING opposing pitching staffs) but Wood is the seventh best hitter in MLB by OPS+ and the 5th youngest in the Top 50*. He's a guy you build an offen...
Mets place Robert on IL, DFA Edwards, call up Warren and Wagaman
The Mets announced a flurry of roster moves ahead of their 1:10pm series finale with the Nationals this afternoon in Queens. Luis Robert Jr., who has been sidelined with back issues since Monday, was put on the 10-Day Injured List retroactive to Monday with ‘lumbar spine disc herniation.’ In a corresponding move, Eric Wagaman, who […]

Braves minor league recap: Dixon Williams homers, drives in three for Rome
It was a lackluster day down on the farm, but there were a handful of individual performances to highlight. So let’s dive into Wednesday’s action. (18-11) Gwinnett Stripers 9, (14-15) Charlotte Knights 10 Box Score Despite holding a three-run lead headed into the home half of the seventh inning, Gwinnett failed to hold on to […]
Dodgers minors: Zyhir Hope homers in Tulsa win
Experiencing both ends of a 4-3 result in a day with only three games, as the matchup between Great Lakes and Peoria got rained out, the Dodgers’ minor league affiliates lost two out of three. Player of the day While James Tibbs III deserves an honorable mention for his 3 for 5 efforts that ultimately […]
Elephant Rumblings: Shea continues to rumble!
With just about twenty percent of the MLB season completed, the A’s remain atop the American League West Division by one game over the Seatle Mariners. It’s the slimmest of leads and with so munch of the season still to go, it’s still a meaningless position. So, looking back what do you think is the […]
Mariners News: Brendan Donovan, Josh Naylor, and Garrett Crochet
G’day everyone and a happy Mariners off-day to you! Cole Young was the hero once again yesterday in a 5-3 come-from-behind win over the Twins. The M’s closed out April with a clean 16-16 record. All things considered, I’m pretty satisfied with that (especially after a rough start to the year). How are you feeling […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 31
In 2025, the Cubs were relatively healthy. That’s easy to forget. The headline injuries, Justin Steele, Kyle Tucker and Cade Horton were to some of the team’s biggest stars. Nico Hoerner and a number of other offensive players had some various bumps and bruises. A couple of the starting pitchers missed some time. Javier Assad […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Blue Jays crush Red Sox to continue Boston’s slide
The big news in Yankee world on Wendesday was the MLB debut of Elmer Rodríguez. The pitcher is ranked as one of the top prospects in the Yankees’ organization and is one of just a handful of recent Yankees’ pitchers to debut at age 22 or younger. Well, the Yankees ended up losing on Wednesday, […]
Jac Caglianone is starting to fulfill his promise
There have been some high highs and low lows for Jac Caglianone since being drafted by the Royals. He blitzed through the minors spending just 29 games in A ball, 38 in AA, and 12 in AAA before debuting with the big league club last June. That debut did not follow the stratospheric trajectory of […]
