This Week in the Minors is our weekly look at notable performances from all over the system, from big-name prospects and less-heralded guys alike. The mission is to answer this simple question: “Who had a good week?” Triple-A Omaha Storm Chasers (33-41, 13.5 games back) The Storm Chasers split their series on the road in […]
Last month I posted this article with details of the Cubs’ new Champions Gate, which will be installed on the Clark Street side of Gallagher Way west of Wrigley Field. It will honor not only the 2016 World Series champions on their 10th anniversary, but also commemorate the Cubs’ other two World Series titles in […]
A 5-3 final score does not feel super lousy if you’re just hearing about it in passing. But if you watched any of the Yankees’ game last night in Detroit, it sure felt lousy. A brief 1-0 lead was lost due to an ineffective Gerrit Cole, as he gave up an uncharacteristic nine hits and […]

The 2026 MLB All-Star Game is a little more than three weeks away. Players are making pushes to represent their respective leagues in Philadelphia. Certain players have pushed through early-season slumps while others are continuing to perform at elite levels.…
Michael King took the mound for the San Diego Padres who were opening a three-game series against the Atlanta Braves at Petco Park on Monday night. It must have been good to be home because King delivered his best start since May 18 when he completed seven innings without allowing a run to the Los […]
Monday night’s game between the Detroit Tigers and the New York Yankees encountered an unusual delay in the bottom of the fourth inning, and Tigers announcers Jason Benetti and Andy Dirks made the most of it. The Yankees, led by second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr., noticed a dirt cam sticking up out of the ground…
An incredible moment took place on Monday night during the Philadelphia Phillies-Washington Nationals game. Phillies star Bryce Harper was seen giving a pep talk to teammate Brandon Marsh. Right after that, Marsh blasted a home run. The MLB’s X account shared some video of the players’ discussion. Bryce Harper gave Brandon Marsh a pep talk […] The post Bryce Harper’s gesture caught on camera before Brandon Marsh HR appeared first on ClutchPoints .
If the Braves want to win another World Series, they need to add a starting pitcher at the trade deadline. And not just any starting pitcher — a true frontline arm capable of winning a game by himself behind Chris Sale. Nobody fits that description better than Tarik Skubal, who most expect to be traded […]
Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, an all-women led Home Run Applesauce podcast where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space. This week, we begin by discussing the Mets’ rotation, which has completely fallen apart, and the impending return of Francisco […]
A few minutes after getting Seranthony Domínguez off the hook by making the White Sox walk-off winners on Monday night, Sam Antonacci tried to do it again. “We signed up to play a team sport and that’s what happens in a team sport,” Antonacci said. “If anyone’s mad about getting down, tell them to go… The post Will Venable’s late-game bullpen decisions were already complicated before Seranthony Domínguez added to it appeared first on Sox Machine .
Tonight, the Orioles will play their 81st game of the season, marking the mathematical halfway point of the regular season. The best they can do is 39-42. That’s disappointing relative to preseason hopes that this thing would get turned around, but this first half really could have been a lot worse than it was. Whatever […]
The end of last night’s Red Sox game was nothing short of a debacle. A fiasco. A disaster. Whatever you want to call it. Garrett Whitlock and Aroldis Chapman combined to allow eight hits in the eighth and ninth innings, though the former somehow escaped without allowing a run, while the latter coughed up a […]
The Angels were defeated by a couple of familiar faces on Tuesday. Longtime L.A. outfielder Taylor Ward slugged a home run in his return to Angel Stadium. Former Angels farmhand Kyle Bradish, who came over to the Orioles in the Dylan Bundy trade, fired eight scoreless innings. 1. De La Cruz back Tuesday The Reds […]

Though the St. Louis Cardinals could use another slugger, Jeff Passan's declaration of them being a fit for Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki at the trade deadline borders on the absurd.
Part two of Chris and Roberto's third annual mock draft focuses on the middle picks in the first round. Here are their predictions.
The Los Angeles Chargers will face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 1. Their offseason turmoil could hand the Chargers a massive gift.
Good morning. Evan Grant writes that the Texas Rangers were buoyed by the Tartan Army for the second time in a couple of weeks as Scottish soccer fans took in Texas’ 4-3 win from last evening. Kennedi Landry writes that the World Cup visitors were treated to a unique and dominant and uniquely dominant appearance […]
This isn’t a “how do you feel about Dylan Dodd” post. It’s more about the Braves. Two buckets of facts, and then I’ll add a third. Bucket the first: in 2025, Dodd had an 85/94/83 line (ERA-/FIP-/xFIP-). That’s not a dominant reliever line, but it is a pretty good one. In 2026 so far, Dodd […]
The 2026 College World Series reached its conclusion in explosive fashion on Monday night. The fifth-ranked North Carolina Tar Heels and the Oklahoma Sooners went to a series-deciding Game 3. The Sooners won it handily, 13-2, to claim their third national championship and first since 1994
You simply cannot deny that the Phillies have improved under Don Mattingly’s watch. Since Mattingly took over as interim manager after the firing of Rob Thomson on April 28th, the Phillies have gone 33-17 and resurrected their chances at defending their NL East division crown. That record is the best in MLB over that span […]
After tonight’s game with the Angels, the Orioles will officially reach the 81-game mark of their 2026 campaign. Heading into Game 81, it’s safe to say that the first half of the O’s season has largely been disappointing. Seen by most as a strong wild card contender heading into the season, Baltimore currently sits below […]
Most of the so-called experts in baseball expect the Minnesota Twins to be sellers once again at the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline. And probably with good reason. They have been in a free fall since 2023, when they reached the American League Division Series. The owners of the Twins, the Pohlad Family, tried to sell […] The post The Twins Could Be Buyers at the Trade Deadline appeared first on Just Baseball .
