Astros 2, Twins 1: Zebby solid, bats stone cold

Zebby Matthews got off to a shaky start tonight, with a Jeremy Pena single and Isaac Paredes 2-run homer. However, after that, he settled into things and was able to go 6 innings, scattering 5 hits and striking out 6 along the way. All he needed was the Twins lineup to give him a modicum […]

The Cincinnati Reds have Chase Burns and the rest of baseball does not

There has been ample to lament about the Cincinnati Reds of late. They endured that brutal 8-game losing streak, one that featured record walk rates, bullpen meltdowns, and even a trio of consecutive walk-off defeats.

No-show offense, lousy defense cost Orioles in 4-1 loss

One night after the Orioles lost to the Rays because their pitching staff imploded, they lost again to the Rays because their offense failed to show up.

Mr. Burns: Reds 4, Phillies 1

There’s a Simpsons joke for every occasion. If the Phillies had tasted victory against Chase Burns, I would’ve had a great opportunity to break out one of my favorite quotes from the character with whom he shares a surname—“Honestly, Smithers, I don’t know why Harvard even bothers to show up— they barely even won!”. Except […]

Why Flyers should move on from Samuel Ersson this offseason

The Philadelphia Flyers don’t have to do a ton this offseason. Their moves last summer to add Trevor Zegras, Christian Dvorak, and Dan Vladar worked out well, helping the team make the playoffs for the first time since 2020. The roster is now more or less set, and although changes can always happen, you can look at the players the Flyers have under contract for next season and be happy enough to run it back for the most part. Adding another top-six center would be nice, as would a de...

Lightning sign Max Groshev to two-year extension

Well, there will be no arbitration hearings this summer for the Tampa Bay Lightning (unless, of course, Julien BriseBois pulls off some sort of trade). The Bolts headed into the off-season with one restricted free agent that had arbitration rights, and on Tuesday, they agreed to a contract with that player. Max Groshev is now under contract for another two seasons as he agrees to a two-year, two-way deal with the Lightning. Groshev was selected in the third round of the 2020 draft and has...
