87 hitters have taken 100 PA so far in AA leagues so far this season. The best batting line among them belongs to the Blue Jays’ 2024 fourth round draft pick, Sean Keys. Keys played his college ball at Bucknell, putting up ridiculous numbers against pretty pedestrian Patriot League competition. He popped a bit with […]
That’s how you finish a 7-0 day in Baton Rouge. The back-to-back SEC champion #2 LSU gymnastics team roared to another win with a 197.975-197.600 win over #3 Alabama. A crowd of 13,292, the eighth-largest crowd in program history, saw a spirited late-night fight between two fantastic teams. This was also alumni night, and there […]
After a three-game win streak, the Miami Heat have since lost two straight. They will look to bounce back as they return to Kaseya Center to host the visiting Houston Rockets for an early weekend matchup Saturday. The Rockets are coming off a win versus the Orlando Magic in a game where Kevin Durant dropped […] The post GAME PREVIEW: Heat back home for afternoon matchup against Rockets appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
When the Nats selected Griff McGarry in the Rule 5 Draft, I was cautiously optimistic. He possesses some of the best stuff in the minor leagues, but has had trouble throwing strikes over the years. Last year, we saw a similar story with Evan Reifert. He had a nasty slider but was nowhere near the […]
The Oregon Ducks left the friendly confines of Eugene Oregon PK Park for their first road trip of the season to the Live Like Lou Las Vegas College Baseball Classic where they would be taking on their first real competition of the year. First up was old PAC-12 rival Arizona on Friday Night. Coach Waz […]
We are now a bit over a week into Spring Training games and at last, Friday’s game featured just about everyone who will be in the Opening Day lineup March 26 (except Seiya Suzuki, who’s already back in Japan for the start of the World Baseball Classic). There aren’t many question marks about the Cubs […]
By this time of year, we’re often a bit exhausted with prospect lists and rankings. Baseball America, Keith Law, Baseball Prospectus, MLB Pipeline, and our own re-ranking of the Detroit Tigers farm system are already a month or more in the books. But FanGraphs does a particularly detailed job for the most part, and often […]
1. Dominant Shooting Display Coming off of Boston’s lowest scoring output of the season against the Denver Nuggets at only 84 points, the Celtics came back home to TD Garden and set a new season-high in points with 148 against the Brooklyn Nets. Boston did this with some historic shooting, going 52-78 (67%) from the […]
During Nikola Vučević’s Boston Celtics debut, both sides struggled. Three weeks ago marked the beginning of Vučević’s acclimation, and since then, his synergy has begun to take shape. It was a stark contrast on Friday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Vučević’s offensive instincts kicked in, and decisively; he wasn’t hesitant. He was constantly in motion, […]
WELCOME TO CAMP NOU!!! The Greatest Stadium on Earth is the site of another crucial La Liga match for Barcelona as the leaders face an excellent Villarreal side looking for three huge points to retain top spot in the table for another week. This should be all kinds of fun, and you’re welcome to join […]
For the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, the whiplashing they’ve been delivering over these last few weeks continues. The Phantoms kicked off their slate of action for this week on Wednesday with a matchup against the best in the Atlantic Providence Bruins, and despite the difficulty of the task in front of them, the Phantoms were coming into it with a good bit of momentum. The previous weekend had seen them pull off a pair of quite convincing wins over another tough divisional opponent in Hershey, and...
Good morning, LSB. Shawn McFarland has three observations from another Rangers spring training game, one in which MacKenzie Gore left the beats impressed. Kennedi Landry writes about the impact that pitching behind deGrom and Eovaldi is having on the lefty. Tim Cowlishaw even goes so far as to call him Clayton Kershaw 2.0 while raving […]
Good morning Gang Green Nation! Here are your links to your New York Jets this last day of February: Antwan Staley – Jets likely to prioritize edge rusher, hold prime draft position at No. 2 overall Ryan Dunleavy – Ty Simpson makes ‘best’ promise as intriguing draft prospect emerges as Jets QB possibility Mark Cannizzaro […]

The Carolina Hurricanes will look to extend their point streak to 12 games on Saturday night as they welcome the Detroit Red Wings to the Lenovo Center. Two of the top five teams in the Eastern Conference by points percentage square off, as both clubs come in having won their first game back from the […]
Matt Quatraro is having Bobby Witt Jr. leadoff in spring training a bit. “We talked about it earlier in the spring,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro told reporters in Surprise, Arizona. “We talked and toyed with the idea of all different lineups. But this, specifically, was to give him a chance (to bat leadoff), because I’m […]
The SheBelieves Cup will kick off on Sunday with the USA taking on Argentina to open the tournament. Emma Hayes has called in a strong roster as the team begins to focus on World Cup qualifying later this year. Last year, Hayes used the tournament, and most of the team’s matches, to evaluate talent and […]
Hello friends, and welcome to the weekend! Last night the Mariners dueled in the desert with the fearsome Snakes, losing 3-1 in what Kate aptly described as a snoozer. Speaking of sleep, I’m coming to you live after finally getting a decent night’s rest. I am a pretty picky sleeper. Not on purpose, mind you. […]
The NFL Scouting Combine continues in Indianapolis with, I suppose, the “main event” of the week. It’s day three of four days worth of on-field drills for over 300 top draft prospects. The combine always affects draft stock to some degree for a variety of reasons, and it isn’t always an on-field drill performance. Those […]
Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby had surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee at the beginning of January. On Friday, Feb. 27, Crosby shared an update on his rehab via the video posted on social media seen below, where the five-time Pro Bowler announced that he no longer needs crutches […]
When the Detroit Lions announced they’ll be playing in Germany this season, there were plenty of fans excited, but others not so much. Here are some word-for-word responses to a Facebook post I made about the announcement: “Play in the USA.” “It’s called the National football league. Not worldwide. More money grabbing for the no […]
With a 3 PM start, you’re getting the rare “Preview/Public Skate” combo! Hold onto this post, it may be worth money someday. Prior to today’s game, here are the basics: I say “3ish” for the start time, as these ABC national games always seem to kind of just start whenever they want. 3:01, 3:12, 3:99…you […]
Dear Hustle Belt, Where do I even begin? I was looking for something new to do, something that would make me somewhat uncomfortable but that I would like to try. I took a chance and sent an e-mail to our higher-ups. Heard from them not long after, and the rest was history. As a proud […]
Some fans choose their team, and some fans are chosen by their team. Which was it for you? Today, we want to hear your story from you: How you became a fan of the Cowboys. When did you first become a fan? Were you born into it? Was there a specific game or season that […]
The Syracuse Orange had the game taken to them in every facet on Friday evening in New Jersey when they fell to the Princeton Tigers, 11-7, to drop their second straight game against an Ivy League team. Princeton overwhelmed the Orange right out of the gate, playing with superior intensity and physicality that helped them […]
From the very beginning of the offseason, David Stearns—normally one who plays things extremely close to the vest—has been fairly clear whenever the subject of the 2026 outfield comes up. He has repeatedly stated that 2024 first round pick Carson Benge will enter spring training with a chance to win a starting job for the […]
