Tonight’s Mariners game won’t be just their Sunday Night Baseball debut; the team will also debut their new Steelheads uniforms, created to honor the short-lived Negro Leagues team located in Seattle. The Mariners are the first MLB team to feature a historic Negro Leagues uniform as part of the club’s standard uniform rotation. The black […]
Box Score The Brewers fought back from an early deficit to win their third straight game Sunday afternoon, scoring six runs in the eighth to complete a sweep of the Chicago White Sox. Starter Brandon Sproat got lit up in his Brewers debut, surrendering a grand slam before getting an out. After walking the first […]
Looking to secure their first SEC sweep of the season, the Tigers handed the ball to their respective game one Harrison-surnamed starters, CeCe and Ella, in what shaped up to be a truly crazy affair on Sunday afternoon on The Plains. In a game that featured four lead changes and a who’s who of pitching […]
Before you start complaining about Shōta Imanaga serving up another home run at an inopportune time (with two runners on base), consider that you’re not going to win many games when you get only four hits and three of them are solo homers. That was the tale of the Cubs’ 6-3 loss to the Nationals […]
Rangers 8, Phillies 3
The Mets and Pirates went to extra innings in a low-scoring affair for the second day in a row, but this time there were no walk-off fireworks by the home team, as the Mets fell to Pittsburgh 4-3 in ten innings. Things got off to a nervy start immediately for Nolan McLean, who had trouble […]
How about the Joey Wiemer led Washington Nationals! The Nats secured a series win in Chicago thanks to the efforts of a new cult hero. Joey Wiemer got on base four times again, and has yet to get out this season. The Nats have now won their first season opening series since 2018. After yesterday’s […]
The season is finally underway and it’s always fun to talk about a winning series to get things going, right? It certainly beats the stuffing out of the way last season started, right? Anyways, it was truly exciting to be in the building for Opening Night on Friday and it was even more encouraging to […]
The Rays escaped from St. Louis with a win. Although the Rays offensive production was impressive — 11 runs, 17 hits and 4 walks — there was not one minute when this win felt assured. The Rays started out with the lead. After having been no-hit for six innings yesterday, the Rays were able to […]
New beginnings. So much hope, so much promise. The 2026 season is brand-new, and so is Shane Baz’s career as an Oriole. This week the team announced a five-year, $69-million extension for the right-hander—all before he’d thrown a single regular-season pitch. The front office called it a “no brainer.” It almost feels like too much […]
It took more than a year, but Arizona has completed a Big 12 series without earning a win. The Wildcats were walked off 3-2 in 13 innings at UCF on Sunday afternoon. It’s the first time Arizona (9-18, 2-7 Big 12) has been swept since joining the conference last season. The Knights won it on […]
There are some positives that the St. Louis Cardinals can take away from Sunday’s 11-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays, but Dustin May’s start is not one of them as he was hammered through 4 innings. Dustin May’s unfortunate outing started to go south in the 2nd inning when the Tampa Bay Rays strung […]
The Iowa Cubs were caught hibernating by the Columbus Clippers (Guardians), 7-5. It was a good start for Jaxon Wiggins, who went four innings and allowed just one run on two hits. Wiggins struck out six and walked two. Here’s Wiggins getting a strikeout. Meanwhile, the I-Cubs took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of […]
Despite collecting twelve hits and plating six runs, the Minnesota Twins could not finish off an Opening Series victory in Baltimore this afternoon. Battles against the robots (ABS) and a shaky appearance from Mick Abel were the primary culprits in defeat. Twins bats quickly built a second-inning rally: Matt Wallner 1B, Josh Bell HBP (Wally […]
Having had a while to process last night’s 6-5 loss against the Guardians, I have determined that as far as losses go, I’m pretty okay with this one. Yes, there were incredibly frustrating things: the bullpen coughing up a key run after some questionable decisions, the utter lack of hitting with runners in scoring position, […]
In Big Ten baseball, if a team leads another by 10 runs after seven full innings, the team in front automatically wins at the end of the next full inning. Maryland baseball knows this rule, having fallen on the wrong side of it four times so far this season. Playing against No. 12 USC Sunday […]
The Colorado Rockies were unable to avoid the sweep in their Opening Weekend series against the Miami Marlins. The Fish walked off the Rockies on a two-run home run, cementing an 0-3 record to kick off the 2026 campaign with three straight one-run losses. Unable to capitalize The Rockies struck first, when Jordan Beck hit […]
It’s not even March, but today’s game is an example of why I couldn’t fully buy in on this Red Sox roster. Starting pitching is great, but when the offense can’t support it, you’re always in danger of one swing changing the game. Connelly Early pitched well, although it wasn’t a dominant performance, but his […]
Baseball seems to have the longest offseason around. If you have a team that you follow that isn’t in the playoffs (or gets bounced from the playoffs quickly), it feels like forever until Opening Day. That wait brings hope, promise and hype that this will be the season a championship parade is the endgame. Opening […]
It had been a bit of a slow start to the season for Eugenio Suárez entering play on Sunday. It’s hard to fault him for it, of course, as he’d been away on the roller coaster that was Team Venezuela’s victory in the World Baseball Classic and had far from the typical spring training warm-up. […]
The Texas Rangers scored eight runs while the Philadelphia Phillies scored three runs. The two most notable offseason acquisitions for the Rangers this winter were Brandon Nimmo when he was acquired from the New York Mets for Marcus Semien back in November, and MacKenzie Gore when the Rangers unloaded the farm on the Washington Nationals […]
The game started like the first two for the Royals, scoreless innings. However, a leadoff walk in the third to Jac Caglianone started the scoring. Nick Loftin would hit into a double play, but the Royals would successfully overturn the out call at first base. So, they still had a runner on first with one […]
All throughout spring training, a tough question in Detroit Tigers camp was who would take the last spot in their bullpen. Their seven best relief options were pretty obvious, other than the question of whether Keider Montero would stay stretched out to start or not, but no one stepped to take the last right-handed spot […]
Post VANDERBILT Baseball and/or SEC Baseball questions in the comments here. Earlier in the week, we received the news that our already beleaguered pitching staff would not have Austin Nye this season (and potentially next, depending on how he rehabs from what we can only assume to be Tommy John surgery). Coming off a brutal […]
The first two games of the season were a ton of fun, but it’s nice to keep the drama a little lower sometimes. Everyobody looked pretty good today, from Eric Lauer and the bullpen holding the A’s to two runs on five hits against 15 strikeouts, to the power bats showing up to the tune […]
