Porter Martone Wearing His Playoffs Hoodie to Flyers Development Camp is a Power Move We All Must Respect 

Porter Martone doesn’t need to be at the Flyers development camp. He earned a regular spot on the roster last season, and in the playoffs became a scorer and playmaker the Flyers depended on – he racked up 2 goals and 3 assists in 10 games with a +3 rating, all at just 19 years […] The post Porter Martone Wearing His Playoffs Hoodie to Flyers Development Camp is a Power Move We All Must Respect  appeared first on Crossing Broad .

It’s Sad to Watch This Version of Aaron Nola

Through 17 starts in 2025, Aaron Nola had a 6.01 ERA. Through 17 starts in 2026, Aaron Nola has a 6.04 ERA. Things are not going well for the 33-year-old veteran.

This Juan Soto Error Led to the Funniest Inside-the-Park Home Run I’ve Ever Seen

I’ve had a lot of fun watching the Mets this season. I’ve found some real, genuine joy in seeing them implode and crater and bomb in ways I didn’t even know were possible for a baseball team. I’ve written about it on this website more than a few times, and truthfully, part of me wonders […] The post This Juan Soto Error Led to the Funniest Inside-the-Park Home Run I’ve Ever Seen appeared first on Crossing Broad .

Mets TV Broadcast Hyped Up Kodai Senga Right Before He Gave Up a Schwarbomb

The Mets TV broadcast has spent the last several years being lauded for its relatively no-nonsense, unbiased commentary. Gary Cohen, Ron Darling, and Keith Hernandez routinely give other teams their flowers because, well, they have to broadcast Mets games. And Sunday afternoon was no different, as Kyle Schwarber came up to bat in the seventh […] The post Mets TV Broadcast Hyped Up Kodai Senga Right Before He Gave Up a Schwarbomb appeared first on Crossing Broad .

Wouldn’t It Be Nice if the Flyers Crushed the Draft For Once?

The Flyers had six picks in the NHL Draft over the weekend. Here’s who they ended up taking: And grades for the Flyers’ picks have ranged from mediocre to awful: Because they are stuck in the past.

The New York Mets Have Relieved Carlos Mendoza of his Duties

And there it is: Man, these guys totally stink. They’re 34-47 with the second-highest payroll in Major League Baseball. They can’t hit, can’t pitch, can’t field, and can’t get fans into the stadium. The fire sale should take place over the next several weeks.

Flyers Trade Garnet Hathaway and a 6th Round Pick to the Florida Panthers For a 5th and a 4th

Here’s the official trade announcement from the team: Hathaway is a gritty player and was a favorite among the Broad Street Bully traditionalist contingent of the fanbase, but as the Flyers continue their rebuild, it’s clear that Danny Briere is choosing to prioritize youth, picks, and skill upside over imposing physicality, and I can’t blame […] The post Flyers Trade Garnet Hathaway and a 6th Round Pick to the Florida Panthers For a 5th and a 4th appeared first on Crossing Broad .

Add Six Infield Errors in One Game to the Mets’ Gloriously Humiliating Season

The Mets are in the throes of one of the most embarrassing seasons in recent MLB memory.
