On the surface, just about everything that Cincinnati Reds lefty Andrew Abbott has been throwing this year is the same as it was during his All Star campaign in 2025.

Elder started off the season in exciting fashion, with three stellar starts and one hiccup. Since then, there […]
5pm CT on ESPN2. I very much would like to type a long anti-Louisville rant, so as to get you fired up for this game, but this season has beaten us half to death with a sack full of doorknobs, and I just don’t have it in me anymore. Luke Smith, however, is still human […]
