For Dodgers, 9 innings has been enough

Every Dodgers game in the 2026 season has been decided in nine innings, and the lack of extras hasn’t been for lack of trying. The Tampa Bay Rays loaded the bases in the ninth inning, coming dangerously close to bringing home the equalizer. On Friday, Dalton Rushing’s RBI single should have tied the game with […]

The Reds will try to not lose to the Yankees again today

Friday evening’s debacle in the Bronx would have, in a just world, been the kind of thing that would have pissed off a wide swath of Cincinnati Reds fans. They gave up big hits early on bad pitches. They looked positively overmatched all up and down their lineup. They lost, they didn’t score, and looked […]

San Diego falls short despite newfound slug

The San Diego Padres couldn’t cash in on one of their most productive nights at the plate all season. The Friars slugged out five runs in the first inning against Texas Rangers starter Jacob deGrom.

The Philadelphia Phillies came into 2026 with championship aspirations, but a thin rotation has revealed a critical vulnerability.

Phillies’ perfect trade offer for Red Sox’s Sonny Gray

Boston’s fire sale is already being whispered about across the league, and Philadelphia should be the loudest voice on the other end of the phone.

Pirates Open To Trading Prospects, CBR-A Draft Pick

The Pirates carry an even 38-38 record into today’s game with the Rockies, and Pittsburgh sits two games out of a wild card slot in the crowded NL playoff race.  Since the Buccos haven’t had a winning season since 2018 and haven’t reached the playoffs since 2015, the team is looking to end both droughts […]

Rich Eisen’s This Was SportsCenter podcast series has been a great opportunity to relive some of the most iconic moments from ESPN’s flagship show’s past.

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Kendrys Morales

Kendrys Morales, Yankees legend. Okay, that is a stretch for a player who appeared in only 19 games for the franchise, a number only slightly larger than the group that accompanied him when he escaped Cuba. However, the second part of that sentence is what makes his story legendary. Like many of his fellow countrymen […]

Fun Parallels To 2012 Emerging

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not anticipating a high pitched squeal of “Julio Rodriguez drops the ball!!!!” and a reprise of the most magical season since Billy Martin rode his starting pitchers 14 innings. There is only one 2012 season and 2026 is unlikely to match it in any way, shape, or form. But the […]
