This weekend, the first place Atlanta Braves come to Citizens Bank Park to take on a struggling Phillies team that is falling short in virtually every phase of the game. It’s been a rough go for the Phils, losers of their last three home series, a shocking development given they only lost three home series […]
A frustrating series sweep at the hands of the San Diego Padres has Seattle scuffling into an important homestand. The Mariners were swept down in Arlington a week ago, helping pump this Texas team into first place in the early days of the AL West. Those Rangers now provide a threat and an opportunity for […]

Friday notes… Cubs lineup: Mets lineup: Edward Cabrera, RHP vs. Kodai Senga, RHP Edward Cabrera was really good his first two starts, not so much last time out against the Pirates.

The Nationals pulled away with one of their wildest wins in years yesterday afternoon in Pittsburgh, beating the Pirates 8-7 in 10 innings.

It has been a long journey since the Royals first began conversations in 2021 about moving to a new ballpark, but there may be light at the end of the tunnel.

The Dodgers had four off days through the first three weeks of the regular season, including a Sunday off plus three Thursdays in a row without a game. Their longest stretch thus far has been six days in a row with games. But the schedule is about to get much busier. The Dodgers have four […]
Your 2026 New York Mets: Hello darkness, my old friend… “It’s not a good showing right now. They’re pissed, frustrated, obviously not happy about it. And I want them to be pissed.” -Carlos Mendoza [The Athletic] …I’ve come to talk with you again “If we don’t score runs, it’s hard to win.” -Francisco Lindor [The […]
“Biweekly” is kind of a dumb word. It means both “twice a week” and “once every two weeks,” and apparently, there’s no effort to create a new word to mean one of those, so that “biweekly” can be reserved for the other. To be clear, by “biweekly” here, I mean “every two weeks.” In the […]
The most anyone has ever paid to own a Major League Baseball franchise is $2.4 billion, the mark that Steve Cohen paid back in 2020 when he purchased the New York Mets. That mark is about to be shattered, however. The Seidler family, who has owned the San Diego Padres since 2012, is on the […]
Some players leave their mark on one sport. Zack Clayton somehow managed to leave fingerprints on three: baseball, basketball, and boxing.

Happy Friday. It’s been a long week in Blue Jays land, and a long week here in Calgary for that matter. It snowed sideways yesterday, about eight inches. Other Tom is enjoying 21 degrees and cherry blossoms in Tokyo, not that I’m bitter. Anyways, in Jays news, Jose Berrios pitched in Dunedin yesterday. The surface […]

Through the first 19 games of the 2026 Orioles season, they are once again disappointing us. It is not a lot of comfort that many teams in the American League are off to a start where they are muddling along around .500. That’s mostly because a lot of these problems feel familiar and it’s frustrating […]
The San Diego Padres erased the memories of the season-opening homestand where they got off to a 2-4 start against the Detroit Tigers and the San Francisco Giants with a perfect second homestand that saw them get back-to-back sweeps of the Colorado Rockies and the Seattle Mariners. The Padres have won games throughout the season […]
A sequence doesn’t have to involve different tunnels and different mixes. Sometimes a catcher and pitcher can just pick up on a hitter’s body language and how they take a pitch. Ian Happ gave up the outside part of the plate on three straight backdoor sweepers that Kerkering painted. H stood there like a statue […]
