Team News Michael Soroka gives Diamondbacks another strong impression in win over Braves “I think we fell behind a little more than we would have liked, but (catcher Gabriel Moreno) and I made some good decisions with some pitches late in counts, good pitches with guys in scoring position, let the defense work and got the win,” […]
Yesterday’s game saw this San Diego Padres club do something it hasn’t shown yet this season: fight. After having a 2-1 lead over the Boston Red Sox for most of the game (in large part due to Randy Vásquez’s sheer force of will), Adrian Morejon came in to pitch the eighth inning. He had hoped […]

Yes, I know that for any Cubs fan, the words “Cade Horton to injured list” in a headline gives feelings of dread. But here we are. Horton was placed on the injured list today, the move retroactive to Saturday. For pitchers, the IL is 15 days. The “fortunate” thing, if there is one regarding this […]
The early years of the Yankees’ franchise famously weren’t great until they acquired a certain Babe Ruth. There were some good seasons here and there, occasional pennant chases, and a few superb individual seasons. They just never got to the World Series or brought home a title until Ruth began donning the pinstripes in the […]
The Red Sox have taken some flak for their rocky start in this young season, and I’m about to pile on. It’s about the pelvic thrust hit celebration. I’ll say up front that I don’t care about being “family friendly” or anything like that. Here are my issues with it. It’s not okay with female […]
The Detroit Tigers have opened up their 2026 home schedule with a pair of wins against the St. Louis Cardinals and are looking to finish off the sweep on Sunday night in front of a national TV audience.

Saturday in the Dodgers minors saw a stellar combined pitching effort in Tulsa, while River Ryan pitched in his first game that counted in 602 days in Las Vegas. But like most days since the minor league season started, James Tibbs III stole the spotlight. Player of the day James Tibbs III has been hitting […]
Better late than never – that is what they say. For the San Diego Padres, that statement rang true when Fernando Tatis Jr., who had four strikeouts in the game, lined a two-out double to center field in the top of the ninth inning off Boston Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman. Ramon Laureano, who had […]
CJ Abrams is off to a hot start, and has homered for three straight games. Hot starts are nothing new for Abrams. The last couple years he has come into seasons really locked in. This year is no different. Hopefully Abrams can show more consistency this year, and I am bullish on that. It is […]
The Arizona Cardinals had one of the worst offensive lines last year. We all know this. How bad? Ranked #26. Both guard positions had issues, along with OT Kelvin Beachum. RELATED: CARDINALS FANS SEE OFFENSIVE LINE AS BIGGEST NEED GM Monti Ossenfort gave the offensive line his utmost priority during the offseason. Four offensive linemen […]
Depending on who you ask, the first week-plus of the 2026 season has gone exactly or nothing as planned for the St. Louis Cardinals. As they enter play on Sunday, they sit 4-4, which could easily be 6-2 or 2-6, whether you want to give props or blame to the bullpen. Despite being about as […]
It took the Yankees two tries, but they managed to come back from losing positions to beat the Marlins, 9-7, putting them on the cusp of their second sweep in the first three series. After pitching carried them through their first six wins, it was encouraging to see the “never say quit” attitude displayed by […]

All the Dodgers needed to do to fix their early offensive woes was take a trip out to America’s capitol.

Sources say that Riley Martin is heading to Chicago. Colin Rea and Ben Brown are the leading candidates to sub for Cade Horton, with southpaw middle/long man Martin standing in for one of them in the ’pen. Horton’s headed to Chicago. More below. Maybe he’ll be good enough to see some volleyball. Game Results: Cubs […]
The Colorado Rockies finished their first week and have scored 26 total runs. While that sounds like a good amount, 14 of those runs came in Monday’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays.
