This whole “game on a Monday after a series should end on a Sunday” thing is just weird. Like, why couldn’t they have just scheduled a different day later this year? Very strange. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
It’s a tale as old as time at this point. The Yankees, loaded with talent and with their usual championship aspirations, roar out of the gate, looking every bit the class of the American League for the first half or so of the season. Then, the midseason swoon hits, and the team plummets in the […]
The Pittsburgh Pirates are coming off a series sweep of the rival Cincinnati Reds, but they still find themselves at the bottom of what’s been a tightly contested National League Central division all season long. Despite the last place distinction that the Pirates hold, they still have a record over .500, as they are currently […]
New York Daily News | Gary Phillips: The Yankees have been mulling their options with Anthony Volpe for days now, but they made it official on Sunday — the shortstop will not be getting handed the starting job back after his rehab assignment, instead getting optioned down to Triple-A Scranton. It’s a reversal of fate […]
The San Diego Padres have officially announced the ownership transfer of the team to José E. Feliciano and his wife, Kwanza Jones. The couple will own approximately 40% of the team and Feliciano will be the controlling partner in the eyes of MLB. They will be joined by a group of owners that will continue […]
If you had told me about six weeks ago how disappointed I would be at the Sox losing a 4-3 nailbiter and failing to complete a series sweep against one of the National League’s better teams, I probably would’ve told you that it was a good thing. And I would be correct! While today’s tight […]
The big news today came from a player participating in very likely his last game in Double-A: Braden Montgomery, South Side Sox’s No. 1 White Sox prospect, is joining the Triple-A Charlotte Knights on his way up to the South Side. Montgomery has been outstanding so far in 2026, slashing .313/.429/.606 and hitting six homers […]
Well, it’s finally happened. The San Francisco Giants have backed into the perfect opportunity to recall their top hitting prospect, left-handed hitting DH/1B Bryce Eldridge, along with one of their more intriguing ones, right-handed hitting C/3B/1B/DH Jesús Rodríguez. It’s desperation season already for the Giants and we’re all about to find out if these youngsters […]
After a handful of starts for High-A Greenville, Anthony Eyanson is ready to move up to the next level. The Red Sox are promoting the talented pitching prospect to Double-A Portland, according to Chase Ford of MiLB Central. Eyanson is just days removed from making his fifth (and perhaps final) start for Greenville at home … Continue reading "Red Sox to promote top pitching prospect Anthony Eyanson to Double-A Portland"
Another Sunday afternoon home game for the Colorado Rockies meant another autograph Sunday, where fans can head down to the first-base side to get pre-game signatures from a handful of Rockies. This has been a fan favorite for many years at Coors, drawing lines that extend up the rows and into the concourse. I partook […]
The Texas Rangers scored one run but the Detroit Tigers scored seven runs. Looks like I picked the right day to not be subscribed to the 20th different service that MLB has shoved exclusive games on. The Rangers had a guy striking out everyone and perfect into the fifth inning against a team going with […]
The Detroit Tigers bullpen put together a really impressive game as six different relievers handled the Rangers without much trouble. Meanwhile, Spencer Torkelson supplied some power, and a parade of soft hits that found holes helped them pile up the runs and win this series two games to one on Sunday night. The Tigers have […]
Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs were cast out by the St. Paul Saints (Twins), 8-7. Jordan Wicks had a rough start in a rehab assignment. He took the loss after giving up six runs on nine hits over 3.2 innings. The positive news is that he struck out four and walked just one and 50 […]
A looooooooooong day of golf came to a stop just before 7pm Central at Riverton Point Golf Club in South Carolina on Sunday, and after 36 holes, YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles are out in front of the 2026 Big East men’s golf championship. As a team, the Golden Eagles are 11 shots under par through […]
The Tigers have a pulse. LSU (29-21, 9-15) got a desperately-needed sweep over lowly South Carolina (22-28, 7-17) to at least keep the Tigers’ postseason aspirations alive for another week. While LSU’s NCAA Tournament outlook is cloudy at best, one can’t help but think the future is bright thanks to some blossoming freshmen. Saturday (Game […]
When Anthony Volpe began his minor league rehab assignment on April 14th, it felt like a foregone conclusion that he has headed to the big league roster once he completed it. Fast-forward to today, and the organization has made the decision to go the other direction, activating him from the IL just to option him […]
Tomorrow’s series opener between the Mets and Rockies at Coors Field has been moved up from 8:40pm EDT to 5:40pm EDT. Adjust your viewing plans accordingly. The change was made due to the expected inclement weather, with temperatures expected to reach a high of 70 around midday before diving into the 30s in the evening. […]
After today’s victory against the Colorado Rockies, Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss told reporters that closer Raisel Iglesias will be activated from the 15-day Injured List on Tuesday in Seattle where the Braves will be taking on the Seattle Mariners. Iglesias’ return will help fortify the Braves bullpen has it has dealt with significant turnover […]
As long as baseball continues to be played at altitude in Coors Field, there will be the potential for a whole bushel of runs to be scored in any given game. With the Atlanta Braves running as hot as they have to start this season, there was plenty of potential for the Braves to put […]
I will be honest, friends. I thought the season was over. I put the chances that Mizzou Softball would be able to go into Saturday’s game and get a win when facing the behemoth that is Tennessee’s pitching staff at slim at best. I know I was not alone in this assessment, and since my […]
Following two-straight losses to open the series, the Athletics sought to win the series finale and prevent the Cleveland Guardians from completing their first series sweep of the season. They did just that, defeating the Guardians 7-1 in front of a sold-out Sunday afternoon crowd to salvage the final game and remain in first place […]
The Wolf Pack are officially making a coaching change following a last-place finish in the 2025-26 season.
It was bad. It was boring. It was a third straight loss. The Mariners lineup snoozed through a 4-1 loss on Sunday as the Royals completed a sweep in Seattle. The short-side of the Mariners platoons, once again, frankly stunk, sending the minimum-plus-one to the plate over the final five innings. Lefty Kris Bubic took […]

We all love the stock market, right?! Yeah, I figured that’s probably not true, but it is a good way to retire with a nice 401K plan. That mini-Econ lesson aside, we asked a series of Buy or Sell style questions to figure out our positions on certain players and circumstances in the Cardinals organization […]
