Good morning. Evan Grant writes that McKenzie Gore’s subpar road trip shows that he’s not yet at the level that the Texas Rangers hope that he can achieve. Kennedi Landry writes that Gore allowed three home runs in a start for the first time since 2023 in the series finale loss to Seattle. Grant checks […]
The Phillies just suffered their worst homestand in quite a while. They didn’t hit well, they didn’t field well, they (honestly) didn’t pitch very well either. It’s not good baseball to watch, it’s not good baseball to analyze right now. Is there anything going right for the team at this moment? Bryce Harper has been […]
For the third time in program history, Aggie baseball came away with a road sweep of the LSU Tigers and the first since 1978. Behind stellar pitching, consistent offense, and a will to win and in front of a nationally televised audience, #10 Texas A&M (31-7, 12-5) also secured their fourth straight conference series victory. […]
The Orioles had a bad week. They lost two series, and went a combined 2-5 in that span. Neither win was particularly easy, the first requiring them to climb out of a 7-1 hole and the second seeing them take until the eighth inning to score at all. It’s just the latest development in what […]
Worcester: W, 4-2 (BOX SCORE) The Red Sox farm, unlike the Major League team, actually enjoyed solid pitching all the way around on Sunday. Worcester’s shutout performance in Nashville (Brewers AAA) was courtesy of Michael Sansone. The 26-year-old Connecticut native may well end up putting together some innings on the Major League squad in 26; […]
It’s Monday, and although basketball is over, college baseball and softball are still going strong. But our coverage is still going strong. Check out our original coverage and what we can find from the World Wide Web below. Is Week 0 the new Week 1? The Oversight Committee has been busy so far this spring, […]

Meet the Mets You bolt awake in the mountains of Carthage. You are not watching the Mets. It is 217 BC. You are the general Hannibal, and you have changed your mind. The future cannot come to pass. Rome must burn. Choose your recap: Amazin’ Avenue, MLB.com, Newsday, New York Daily News, New York Post, […]
It seems the secret to Sunday success for the Braves is to play Sunday Night Baseball. For the second straight week, the Braves were successful via the new version of Sunday Night Baseball on Peacock. They come from behind to beat the Phillies 4-2 and completed a splendid weekend sweep of their division rival. After […]
Some news and notes on a Monday morning after the Dodgers’ first losing streak of the season. Roki Sasaki struggled through another start on Sunday at Coors Field, allowing three runs in 4 2/3 innings, and in his four starts has a 6.11 ERA and 15.9-percent walk rate in 17 2/3 innings. With River Ryan […]
The San Diego Padres (5-1) and Arizona Diamondbacks (4-2) had strong weeks to keep pace in the National League West, but the big news of the week was the Padres about to be sold for the staggering price of $3.9 billion. The sale price shatters the previous record of $2.475 billion, which is what Steve […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
Welcome to week 4 of our 2026 NL Central Power Rankings — let’s rank some teams! 1. Cincinnati Reds (14-8); 5-1 this week; 31.1% chance to make postseason (FanGraphs) The Reds had a great week against a couple of inferior opponents. They started things by taking two of three against the Giants at home before […]
Triple-A: Durham Bulls (TBR) 6, Norfolk Tides 3 The Tides fell to Durham 6-3 on Sunday, courtesy of one ugly inning from Andrew Kittredge (0.2 IP, 5 R, 6 H). Methinks the rehab stint should continue. On the other hand, Cade Povich pitched great, mowing down ten Bulls hitters by strikeout over five innings. The […]
And finally, Matthew Leach has the story of Twins reliever Kody Funderburk, whose wife Alicia is both pregnant and was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Through treatment, the doctors believe that both Alicia and baby will be fine.
Good morning, baseball fans! It’s a new week of San Francisco Giants baseball, so let’s take a look at what’s on deck for the week. The Giants are off today, but they’re heading back home to Oracle Park for both series this week. First up, the Los Angeles Dodgers are coming to town tomorrow for […]
As most of you know, I was lucky enough to be invited to attend Winter Warmup as a reporter. Last year, I used that experience to write several season previews. Due to the late start of the top 20 prospect series (caused by waiting for Brendan Donovan to be traded), my Winter Warmup stories have […]
For most folks, the start of their career means the end of school. It doesn’t matter if you work in finance, healthcare, the arts or athletics. However, that is not the case for all athletes. The Colorado Rockies provide continuing player education, helping their Latino players learn English language and get acquainted with US culture. […]
Amazin’ Avenue is looking to add a new writer or two, to grow our staff and provide better, wider, and more diverse coverage of the New York Mets. If you’re itching to write about the Mets—and make some money along the way—please don’t hesitate to apply. Here’s what to expect if you’re selected for the role: […]
Anne Rogers asks how the Royals can stop their losing slide. Right now, it seems Kansas City can’t get out of its own way. It’s playing out on the field and off it. Winning is going to relieve the tightened grip the Royals have on the bats they swing and the pitches they throw. But […]
Louisville Bats 2, Toledo Mud Hens 1 (box) Toledo and Louisville combined for just nine hits in the series finale, and each team had just 32 plate appearances. Low-offense days mean good things for the pitching staff, but the Mud Hens haven’t fared well in these low-scoring games this weekend. Toledo dropped the series 4-3 […]
We’ve done this dance before. Every few years, things start to get tense. Negotiations stall, statements get a little sharper, and suddenly the words “work stoppage” start creeping back into the conversation like a bad memory you thought you’d buried. And if you’re a White Sox fan, or just a baseball fan with any kind […]
1910In a 1-0 win during Chicago’s final season at South Side Park, Cleveland’s Addie Joss no-hit the White Sox for the second time in three seasons. Context clues from the box score suggest possibly just one South Side runner, Freddy Parent, even reached second base. Doc White scattered five singles and a double, holding Cleveland […]
After the Red Sox finally got something resembling momentum going with back-to-back series victories against a very good Brewers team and a Cardinals team that has made anybody following MLB say “Hey they actually aren’t as bad as I thought they’d be,” they go out and lay eggs like that over the past week. That […]
