Monday was a sad day in Yankees universe, as we learned about the passing of the beloved, legendary radio announcer John Sterling. The Yankees honored Sterling in a way he would have loved — with their performance in a 12-1 rout of the Orioles to cap off a four-game sweep of their division foes. Now […]
Happy Tuesday! In an exciting and much-needed win, the Mariners scored five runs in the sixth inning last night to secure a 5-4 win at home. Home runs from Luke Raley and J.P. Crawford powered starter Logan Gilbert to his second win of the season in the series opener against the Atlanta Braves. George Kirby […]
Wow that was ugly. After a four-game sweep at the hands of the Yankees, the Orioles are making like the snowbirds, leaving the Bronx for the sunnier climate of Miami, and frankly, it’s a relief. The Marlins are a less scary opponent, but they can’t be taken lightly, either. (And these hot-and-cold Orioles have had […]
Astros fans, how are we feeling about Bryan Abreu after this past weekend? It’s been a rocky start to the season for a pitcher who entered the year with sky-high expectations. Tasked with stepping into a more prominent late-inning role while ace reliever Josh Hader works his way back from injury, Abreu has struggled to […]
This Week in the Minors is our weekly look at notable performances from all over the system, from big-name prospects and less-heralded guys alike. The mission is to answer this simple question: “Who had a good week?” Triple-A Omaha Storm Chasers (14-18, 7.5 games back) It was another rough week for the Storm Chasers; they […]
Welcome to Tuesday everyone! The A’s had their off day yesterday and now it’s time to get ready for game action to resume. The team is on the road and on the East Coast yet again, their third trip to the other side of the country already. Not a fun travel schedule to open the […]
I would be quite surprised if the Washington Nationals do not have a heavy scouting presence in Fayetteville, Arkansas right now. There are two Arkansas Razorbacks players that could be in play for the Nats with their 11th pick in this upcoming draft. Those would be pitcher Hunter Dietz and catcher Ryder Helfrick. The pair […]
Jackson Merrill hit a first-inning solo home run to put the San Diego Padres ahead of the San Francisco Giants, 1-0 but that was all the offensive excitement the Padres could muster for much of the game. Randy Vasquez started on the mound for San Diego and continued to be effective. However, with an offense […]
Diamondbacks News Diamondbacks’ Ildemaro Vargas named NL Player of the Month by Tyler Drake [Arizona Sports] The honor comes a week after Vargas took home NL Player of the Week. Vargas, who just saw his 27-game hitting streak end over the weekend, has been on a tear this season. Over 22 games in April, Vargas slashed […]
The best way to project 2026 success is by looking at the remains of the 2025 team and figuring out how much production returns on the offensive and defensive sides. The gentleman who created both Rock M Nation and the SP+ metric system, Bill Connelly, has a measurement called “returning production”, a metric that attempts […]
A combination of day games and morning news gave me a brief, impromptu break, but I’m back. Before this season started, I thought the Braves might need to operate more like their 2019-2021 lot in life (nothing is guaranteed) than their 2022-2025, “Our roster is good enough to do whatever” framework. The Braves have done […]
Though the Mets have not been bitten nearly as severely by the injury bug on the pitching side of things, they have struggled to find answers outside of the top 3 in their rotation. Clay Holmes has dazzled and Freddy Peralta and Nolan McLean have been mostly solid, but all of Kodai Senga, David Peterson, […]
Michael Conforto has been an afterthought for most of this Cubs season. The team didn’t sign him until late February. He got some playing time early on because of the injury to Seiya Suzuki, but since Suzuki’s return April 10, Conforto has played in just 10 games, starting just four of those. He didn’t play […]
Good morning. MLB dot com’s Benjamin Rosenberg writes that the Texas Rangers are getting it done in relief without having a lot of strikeouts or flamethrowers. Matt Snyder writes that with Tarik Skubal out, the AL Cy Young race is wide open with Jacob deGrom among the new favorites. And, the DMN notes that former […]
It was a bit of a surprise when the Phillies promoted Felix Reyes to the majors on April 18th. It was a major surprise when he batted cleanup in his first ever MLB game. It was downright shocking that he took Chris Sale deep in his first at bat. However, everything that’s happened since is […]
The Orioles went into New York this past Friday trying to prove they were better than their middling record. Instead, they walked away on the wrong end of a four-game sweep, looking more like a team trying to avoid a last-place finish than one contending for a playoff spot. Each of the four losses in […]
With apologies to Shohei Ohtani and the faithful attending tonight’s contest at Daikin Park, the more significant season barometer will actually be registered approximately 23 miles southwest this evening when the Space Cowboys take the field against the Albuquerque Isotopes at Constellation Field. The likes of Josh Hader, Nate Pearson, & Tatsuya Imai are each […]
Volleyball conference opponents announced Baseball remains at 14 in USA Today Poll Highlight of the Day: Oregon announces to the world they will compete in the B1G
The Azeez Al-Shaair contract demonstrated one thing. There is still money available for players that perform at a high level. Include Will Anderson in that conversation and there are a lot of Texans on the defensive side of the football that have been paid very well for being arguably the best defense in the NFL […]
Meet the Mets The Mets scored four runs on four hits on May the 4th in a 4-2 victory over the Rockies at Coors Field. Carson Benge hit a home run to lead off the sixth inning and made another sparkling defensive play to spark the victory. Choose Your Recap: Amazin’ Avenue, MLB.com, Daily News, […]

The upcoming series is not just the second half of their stay at home, following a four-game series against the Baltimore Orioles in which they scored at least seven runs in all four games and came away with a […]
Under the leadership of Scott Harris, the Tigers have put a great deal of money and effort into stocking the low minors with lottery ticket teenagers, hoping for some big breakouts. Though injuries have prevented the team from reaping much in the way of tangible rewards yet, it makes for an exciting bunch of players […]
Arizona Complex League play began on Monday. Jacob Johnson, the Rangers’ 11th round pick in 2025, made his professional debut, striking out eight in three innings while allowing two runs. Case Matter, who has spent all season on the injured list and who is on a rehab assignment, threw a shutout inning, and then allowed […]
1901 It was just the 11th game in White Sox MLB history, but still remains as likely the ugliest game the team ever played. In a 21-7 pummeling at the hands of the 2-8 Milwaukee Brewers, the White Sox allowed 25 hits and committed nine errors! While weather conditions up north aren’t known for this […]
Monday was a rare time where the Braves made some costly mistakes that lead to a 5-4 loss to Seattle despite the Braves being up 4-0 at one point. Atlanta had some bad early luck despite plenty of loud contact, but finally connected for 4 solo home runs to seem firmly in control of the […]
