Sometimes a split is healthy. Bad relationships, a thriving stock purchase, ordering a banana-based dessert at an ice cream parlor, your sides at a comedy club. Some splits are bad: Bowling, personalities, the ends of hair, infinitives. The San Francisco Giants going 2-2 on the road against the Los Angeles Dodgers falls right in the […]
New York Daily News | Gary Phillips: The Subway Series kicks off tonight in Queens with both the Yankees and Mets finding themselves out of sorts. The Metropolitans are no longer the worst team in baseball, proudly ahead of the Astros, Rockies, and Angels, but still need to get back on track quickly if they […]
Among Yankees regulars, only Austin Wells and Ryan McMahon had a lower wRC+ than Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s 72 mark before Wednesday’s game against the Orioles. To say that the second baseman’s season has been a disappointment to this point would be an understatement. Before taking the field on Wednesday, Chisholm’s slash line was at .200/.280/.320 […]

Hello, friends. You know what? Things are a lot more fun when the Orioles beat the Yankees than when they lose to them. I know, I know, I’m making a radical statement there. It is the truth. Yesterday’s 7-0 win, in which the O’s managed to one-hit a suddenly-staggered New York team, sealed a series […]
The Colorado Rockies are on a three-game losing streak after losing last night to the Pittsburgh Pirates because Paul Skenes did the things that Paul Skenes does. The Rockies were no-hit—and had just one baserunner via a hit by pitch—until a Mickey Moniak single in the seventh inning However, Skenes is now out of the […]

The 2026 NFL schedule release is happening tomorrow, but we have some ideas on when the Arizona Cardinals will not play, based on some rumors and some announcements we have seen so far we know that there are two things: First, the Cardinals will not play an international game this year if you are to […]
End of the series with the Rays. And then we don’t have to see them for a little while. The Jays are saying there is nothing decided on Jose Berrios yet. They are ‘talking through a plan with doctors”, which doesn’t sound like great news. I don’t think we’ll be seeing him on a mound […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers are signing safety Makari Paige, the team announced on Wednesday. Paige signed with the Giants as an undrafted free agent in April, 2025. He was waived at the end of the preseason. Paige spent five seasons at the University of Michigan, helping the Wolverines win a National Championship in 2023. Over the […]
After matching their season-high 10-game winning streak, the team has now followed with a season-high four game losing streak. Spoiler alert, the last (full) season where the Cubs didn’t have a losing streak longer than four games was back in 2003. I didn’t take pen to paper (or make a spreadsheet), but the Cliff’s Notes […]
With the MLB Draft only about two months away I thought it would be good to examine the history of the players selected with the picks the Atlanta Braves have in the 2026 MLB Draft. With the Braves picking ninth overall for their first selection, I decided to start by looking at the history of […]
The Dodgers are back in the win column as they snapped their four-game losing streak behind another dominant performance from Shohei Ohtani on the mound. The Dodgers broke through early and kept their foot on the gas as they shut out the San Francisco Giants for the second time this year, winning on Wednesday by […]
Wednesday can comfortably be filed away in the “bad” drawer for the Yankees. They mustered just a single hit in a shutout loss to the Orioles, a game in which Max Fried departed early with ever-troubling elbow soreness. The loss keeps them in the hole in the American League East, as they eagerly look to […]

Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs were too quiet for the Nashville Sounds (Brewers), 4-1. Connor Noland pitched the first five innings and took the loss after he permitted three runs on six hits. He walked two, hit one and struck out two. The I-Cubs’ only run came on left fielder Kevin Alcántara’s league-leading 14th home […]
The Texas Rangers scored six runs while the Arizona Diamondbacks scored five runs. That game was so stupid and funny. The Rangers won. Player of the Game: Jake Burger hit a three-run home run in the fifth inning to put the Rangers up 3-0 and then tied the game with an RBI with two-outs in […]
The kids are alright, and the South Siders are somehow sitting at .500. On a chilly Wednesday at Rate Field, the White Sox outlasted the Royals, 6-5, riding a Colson Montgomery missile and just enough bullpen duct tape to keep the fanbase from collective despair. Noah Schultz spent the first three innings playing surgeon. Seventeen […]
Shōta Imanaga is pitching like the ace everyone hoped he would be. Imanaga threw seven outstanding innings (and one batter into the eighth, and that inning led to the Cubs’ undoing), the third time this year he’s thrown seven. But Phil Maton could not hold a 1-1 tie together and the Cubs lost to the […]
Look at it this way. At least the Cubs scored some runs in this game. Not enough runs, as they lost to the Braves 5-2 in the series opener in Atlanta. Colin Rea and Grant Holmes matched zeroes through two innings, and the Cubs failed to score in the top of the third. The Braves […]
Box Score Jacob Misiorowski continues to amaze. After a dominant performance against the Yankees his last time out, Miz followed that up with an even more sparkling performance against the Padres. Still, the Brewers fell 3-1. While the first inning for Misiorowski still carried the velocity in the 103-mph range, it took him a bit […]
Daylen Lile may not be a true hometown hero in Cincinnati, but he was born nearby in Louisville. With his family and friends in the building, Lile has put on a show. In game one of the series, Lile hit two homers and tonight he hit a go-ahead shot in top of the 10th that […]
We’re going to try something a little different this time around on Sequence of the Week. Normally, we select a single at-bat or plate appearance from a given game to highlight the sequencing and execution from a Yankees pitcher. However, there were two encounters from the Yankees’ most recent win against the Orioles on Tuesday […]
Despite the Mets’ dismal season record and poor performance this season, the New York club managed to trounce the Tigers on Tuesday. Wednesday night, the Tigers were hoping to get one back and save face a little. They’ve been having an awfully rough go of it lately, and the longer that lasts, and the more […]
The Blue Jays beat the rays tonight, walking off in the bottom of the tenth inning thanks to a grand slam homer. Winning this game felt like a tough challenge even before the game started. Apart from a poor start against the Red Sox, the Blue Jay’s Dylan Cease has been very effective. And the […]
