It’s pitching preview time, ladies and gentlemen. Over the next several days, I’ll be writing 10,000 words or so about everyone you might see pitching for the Red Sox to start the season. I’ve put the team’s starting options into tiers because that’s how my brain works. Don’t think of them as rankings, but rather […]

We’re back with another daily question, and today’s question is: Who is your least favorite Brewer? Props to user keephopealive for suggesting the question earlier this week. There are tons of good options, as you’ll see in the comments section from Tuesday. Jesse Winker is probably the most recent “Brewer villain,” but we’ve also had […]

As the adage about the baseball’s simplicity goes, you throw the ball, you hit the ball, you catch the ball, you win all your games, and you go undefeated. The 2026 Ole Miss baseball team did most of those things in their wins over Nevada (3), Arkansas State (1), and Jackson State (1), which was […]

The AL East looks like the best division in baseball headed into 2026, and that’s thanks in no small part to the arms race that took place over the winter between the division’s five clubs. The Blue Jays spent big money after winning the AL pennant, the Red Sox made major moves in free agency […]

Spring training games start this weekend which means we’re one step closer to baseball being back! As always, regular players will be slowly ramped up (pitchers especially), meaning it will be a few weeks before we see a game that looks more like a regular season game, but we’ll also get plenty of chances to […]

The Pittsburgh Pirates core of infielders has some exciting pop but could be considered a unit that is incomplete overall. For the last couple of seasons, the Pirates have struggled to find an everyday first baseman. The acquisition for Spencer Horwitz in December of 2024 was met with some critical feedback, as the Pirates gave […]

Despite multiple additions early in Spring Training, the San Diego Padres took a step back in 2026 projections according to both FanGraphs and PECOTA (Baseball Prospectus). In January, the numbers projected significant steps back for multiple players on the team but the lack of adding any higher tier talent seems to have negatively affected how […]

Twenty-four hours later, the football is still secondary. Real Madrid’s 1–0 victory at the Estádio da Luz should have been remembered for Vinícius Júnior’s brilliant second-half goal and a disciplined away performance in Europe. Instead, the match is now the center of multiple investigations, political involvement, global reactions, and an escalating war of narratives — […]

While most of us were hard at work at our 9-5, the LSU Baseball team improved to 5-0 with a good ole fashion mid-afternoon beating over Nicholls 12-1. Nicholls drew first blood with its lone run in the top half of the first, but LSU answered right back with a five-spot in the home half […]

The Nats brought in Drew Smith. He just went through his second Tommy John but says he's fully recovered. He's been a live-arm guy who has always outperformed his fancy stats. If one was to theorize it could be because his fastball is fantastic and when he needs to dial it up to get an out he can do it. But his other pitches aren't good and when all you can do to succeed is dial up the fastball well, that's how you get a guy with two Tommy Johns and under 200 IP over 6 ...
