None of the White Sox's top four affiliates secured a postseason spot with a first-half title, but they kept their heads above water overall, finishing with a combined record of 139-137. As you might expect from a .500-ish record, it's been a mixed bag. Sam Antonacci and Braden Montgomery both produced wal...

Some real (and old) concerns about the 2026 Braves are starting to emerge

Dodgers no-hit relievers

The Dodgers got about as good of a pitching game as they could have hoped for in the series opener against the Minnesota Twins. Eric Lauer followed an opener on Monday, in part to avoid having him face Byron Buxton three times. Buxton proved why by hitting his 25th home run of the season in […]

How are the Phillies at the midway point?
