Extra innings loss after a million ties: Orioles 9, Rays 7 (F/13)

Happy Memorial Day, everyone (unless you are a Canadian, like me, in which case, happy very belated Victoria Day). The Rays are facing familiar foes this week, as they head to Baltimore to take on the Orioles. The O’s were just in St. Pete last week, where the Rays swept them. However, Baltimore might be […]

The Rallying Point?

It was opening night for our softball season this evening, and we ended capturing victory for a mini-celebration at the end of the game. As we descended upon the local watering hole, we were treated to another Vegas Golden Knights comeback as they went up 3-0 in their Western Conference Final series against the President's Trophy-winning Colorado Avalanche. No one is saying that Vegas was incapable of this moment, but one of my teammates gave me pause when he said that the NHL's penalties asse...

White Sox separate Twins from their bats, 3-1

After and exchange of long-ball offense early and then hanging on to a 3-1 win for the White Sox this Memorial Day. But the big play didn’t come from big bats but from 5´6´´ Rikuu Nishida, playing in his first major league game. The Sox and Twins traded solo homers by Brooks Lee and Munetaka […]

Former Blue Jays All-Star DFA'd by Dodgers

 He was an All-Star for the Toronto Blue Jays in 2022 (though it says more about the state of the team that year than anything else). Now, after batting just .220 for the LA Dodgers in a utility role this season, Santiago Espinal has been designated for assignment.  Kiké Hernández is ACTIVE and expected to make his season debut for the Dodgers tonight 🚨 Santiago Espinal was DFA’d to make space on the roster, and Hyeseong Kim stays up for now. How do you feel about the move? pic.twitt...

Misiorowski shines again as Brewers beat Cardinals 5-1

Box Score Jacob Misiorowski doing incredible things has become shockingly routine this season, especially this month. He came into his start today not having allowed a run in four outings covering 24 1/3 innings in May. But he looked as good as he has at any point during that streak today, if not better, before […]

Dylan Cease To IL

Well, that stuff about Dylan Cease making his next start? Not so much. The team has put him on the IL. “It doesn’t look too terrible, knock on wood. Just trying to be smart and not have it get worse. Don’t know the exact timeline yet, hoping it’s a minimal stay.” The team hasn’t said […]

Pirates 2, Cubs 1: Should Ben Brown have gone one more inning?

The headline represents about all I’ve got for the Cubs’ 2-1 loss to the Pirates Monday afternoon, their ninth consecutive defeat. Ben Brown was absolutely dealing. He allowed four hits and a run and struck out seven in six solid innings, throwing 83 pitches (58 strikes). The six-inning effort was his longest of the season, […]

5/25 Gamethread: Giants vs. Diamondbacks

The San Francisco Giants welcome the Arizona Diamondbacks to Oracle Park this afternoon to begin a three-game series. Just like we did last week, only this time at home! As of the time this is being pre-written (due to the holiday), neither team has announced pitchers for this game. So make sure you head down […]

Nathan Lukes Reinstated from IL, Davis Schneider Optioned

Per Wilner: Lukes isn’t having a great season, slashing .250/.286/.327 (a 73 wRC+) in 56 PA before he went down with a hamstring injury. To be fair, though, he was hampered by some strange issues with vertigo in the first three weeks of that time. In 21 PA since seeing a specialist to work out […]

Texas Rangers lineup for May 25, 2026

Texas Rangers lineup for May 25, 2026 against the Houston Astros: starting pitchers are Kumar Rocker for the Rangers and Tatsuya Imai for the Astros. The Rangers return home and will try to break a three game losing streak. Josh Jung is still sitting due to his shoulder issue. The lineup: Pederson — 1B Osuna […]

Series Preview #18: Diamondbacks @ Giants

MLB vs FIFA. To write a preview when you have not even one day between the previous series and the upcoming one, on a weekday, definitely adds to the time pressure. Luckily for me, the opponent for the next series is the San Francisco Giants. We saw them just a couple of days ago. That, […]

Game 53: Reds at Mets (4:10 PM ET) – Lodolo vs. McLean

The Cincinnati Reds should be well rested and ready to take on the New York Mets by the time Monday afternoon’s first pitch is thrown at Citi Field on this Memorial Day. The Reds had last Thursday off as scheduled, and then had Friday off, too, when their series opener against the St. Louis Cardinals […]
