What a weekend it was for Purdue this weekend at Alexander Field. Not only did the Boilermakers get a dramatic sweep of rival Indiana, they got a huge boost in their hopes for an NCAA Tournament bid. Really though, Brandon Rogers was the story. Rogers had missed the last month after breaking a bone in […]
Catcher Sean Murphy has had rotten injury luck since joining the Atlanta Braves via trade prior to the 2023 season. He’s only once played in more than 100 games since becoming a Braves and in 2026 he made his season debut on this past road trip after missing the end of the 2025 season and […]
Rangers 3, Cubs 0
Another disappointing week, what are your first thoughts? Spencer: Average teams play like this. The offense is anemic. The pitching had an apocalyptic week last week. This version of the team is what I expected and why my win total projection was so low. James Attwood: This is the sort of thing that happens when […]
The A’s dropped their series finale against the Orioles on Sunday, losing the series finale 2-1 in a close contest. More to come…
D-BACKS 5, FLUSHING 1: Let’s go out and beat the Mets! [Guest recap]
After winning the Big East Softball Championship on Saturday afternoon to earn an automatic bid to the NCAA Softball Championship, the UConn Huskies found out their destination on Sunday. They will be heading to the Bryan-College Station Regional, where they’ll take on the host and No. 4 overall seed Texas A&M Aggies. The other teams […]
Well, would you look at that? Following a disappointing series loss in Seattle that brought their lengthy streak without series losses to a close, there was every possibility that things could’ve taken a turn for the worse with a trip to the house of horrors that is Dodger Stadium. While the Dodgers have seemed somewhat […]
No delays, no problems. Missouri baseball ran the gauntlet on Sunday afternoon in its 4-1 victory over Vanderbilt at Taylor Stadium. In the final home game at Taylor Stadium, six arms pitched for the Tigers and guided them their first SEC home victory since Apr. 6 2024 against the then- No.4 ranked Florida Gators. It […]
The New York Mets came into their season finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks with the hopes of winning their third straight series, but errors and a struggling lineup led to a 5-1 loss Sunday in Arizona. The Mets were no-hit through five 1/3 innings by left-handed Diamondbacks starter Eduardo Rodriguez while registering a season-high three […]
It’s hard to believe that the season is through its first quarter already. And the Cardinals are good! We all love the Cardinals of course, but it’s far more enjoyable when they are winning baseball games and we don’t just have to rely on the development of young players to satiate our baseball sweet tooth. […]
Eduard Bazardo yielded the two runs the Chicago White Sox needed to beat the Seattle Mariners today. His 1-2 breaking ball to veteran OF Randal Grichuk floated over the heart of the plate like a miscategorized deluxe roll of conveyer belt sushi on the cheapest designated plate. Grichuk’s solo shot tied things at 1-1 in […]
The St. Louis Cardinals got a positive if not spectacular start from Kyle Leahy on Sunday, but it was Jordan Walker’s Mother’s Day moonshot that helped the Cardinals nearly beat the San Diego Padres. Almost. If you just look strictly at the numbers, Kyle Leahy really did have a solid start on Sunday. While his […]

The Iowa baseball team fell to No. 25 Nebraska, 8-6, on Sunday afternoon at Hawks Field at Haymarket Park.
In the “he can’t keep getting away with this” starter battle, it was Bryce Elder who came out on top as the winning pitcher. With some drama, I must say upfront. But even though Dodgers starter Justin Wrobleski outlasted Elder, you’d take Elder’s final line every day. This was a fascinating pitching duel: both Elder […]
The Kansas City Royals have already clinched a series win and a winning homestand after taking the first two contests against the Detroit Tigers. A thrilling comeback and walk-off on Friday and a dominant Michael Wacha outing last night have propelled the Royals back to 19-21 on the season. If the season ended today, the […]
The Dodgers (24-16) dropped their second straight game with a score of 7-2 to the Braves (28-13) on Sunday afternoon at Dodger Stadium. Justin Wrobleski was one out away from a complete game, but the offense didn’t come through. They collected only seven runs in the series loss to the MLB-best Braves. Andy Pages picked […]
Very little has gone right for Arizona this season, but at least it ended the home slate on a high note. A solo home run by catcher Joe Forbes gave the Wildcats a 6-5 win over Houston on Sunday afternoon at Hi Corbett in the home finale. The victory snapped a 7-game conference skid for […]
The Braves are currently putting it all on the line in an attempt to pull off a rare series win in Los Angeles against the Dodgers. One of the biggest examples of that has been Eli White’s performance in this game. In an extremely high-leverage situation where the Dodgers had Max Muncy at the plate […]
We come together this Sunday for what is a sorrowful edition of our weekly social media roundup, as we mourn the loss — and celebrate the life — of John Sterling, who passed away this past Monday. How did the Yankees, and others throughout the league, honor the legendary Yankees broadcaster? And what else were […]
Maryland baseball’s batting order put on its best offensive performance of the weekend against Rutgers. It tallied 14 hits across nine frames — a stark difference from Saturday night’s game, where the Terps failed to produce a run. A flurry of home runs brought the Terps to their first conference victory in over two weeks […]
There were a lot of similarities between today and yesterday’s loss, but at least this one was quicker. The Yankees couldn’t get the one extra hit they really needed, and the Brewers showed why they’ve been so formidable over the past couple years. In the end, breakout star Brice Turang clubbed David Bednar’s offering over […]
Though things looked precarious for a moment there, but the Davis Martin Hype Train choo-choos on! In the first inning, it looked as if the 29-year-old’s magical run to start this interesting 2026 campaign might finally be at its end. Martin struggled to put hitters away early, letting in a run in the first inning […]
Ahead of Sunday’s series finale against the Athletics, the Orioles gave off the usual signs of chaos. There was a roster move to shuffle for a fresh bullpen arm who nobody really wants to see. There was a day-of decision to have Keegan Akin go as an opener instead of Chris Bassitt making a regular […]
