It’s easy to forget, but Elly De La Cruz made 29 starts (and appeared in 32 overall games) as the 3B of the Cincinnati Reds back in his first year in the big leagues in 2023. That was in deference to Matt McLain, current 2B and resident backup SS, who made 52 starts at short […]
The Jets have a new offensive coordinator. It is former Colts and Panthers head coach Frank Reich. Let’s discuss the good and the bad of this hire. Likes: It’s rare when the Jets hire a play caller who actually has a track record of success in the NFL. In the last twenty years, the Jets […]

It is with much happiness that I say out loud that we are now only days away from pitchers and catchers reporting to Spring Training. That means we can now look at what St. Louis Cardinals President of Baseball Operations Chaim Bloom was able to accomplish. What grade would you give him for his first […]
“Back in Pinstripes and on Mound, but Only for Fun.” So read The New York Times’ headline when word got out that Andy Pettitte — winner of 240 big league games, five-time World Series champ, and the man who had started more games as a Yankee than anyone but Whitey Ford — was making his […]
The defense of the 2025 Dallas Cowboys was not good. While the defensive line saw mid-season reinforcements, the linebacker corps was dreadful, frequently exploited by opposing teams. The Cowboys’ linebackers struggled to chase down players. Whether from a lack of athleticism or undisciplined gap integrity, they often found themselves out of position against any remotely […]

I’ve been preaching patience with this year’s Tide Hoops team for some time now; but I totally understand if any of you have run out of it. I hate to say it, but when this team gets hit with real adversity, they fold in pretty fantastic fashion. Sunday’s spotlight showdown with the Florida Gators went […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers selected Darius Garland with the fifth overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft. Garland, then just a 19-year-old kid who had missed the bulk of his freshman season with a torn meniscus, was now joining a franchise only one year removed from reaching four consecutive NBA Finals. But Cleveland was no longer […]
Dan Quinn brought Joe Whitt Jr with him to Washington when he was hired as the Commanders head coach in 2024. This was Whitt’s first stint as a DC in the NFL, and it ended after two seasons. The defense was not good as GM Adam Peters worked to rebuild the franchise from the ground […]

Boston will be without Anfernee Simons, who was reportedly traded to the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday, and without Sam Hauser, who is dealing with a right thumb sprain. In addition to […]
Andrés Giménez is a 27-year-old, left-handed hitting, middle infielder. The Jays picked him up in trade from the Guardians in early December 2024, along with Nick Sandlin for Spencer Horwitz and minor leaguer Nick Mitchell. Horwitz was quickly flipped to the Pirates.

In a pregame interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Jim Owczarski before last night’s 131-115 win over the Chicago Bulls—snapping a five-game losing streak—Giannis spoke candidly about where his head was at as the trade deadline looms. Following some banter, Owczarski posed the two-time MVP a serious question: what do you want? “You know,” he […]
The Flyers, hitting the start of the month of February on a four-game losing streak and at the risk of heading into the Olympic break in free fall, managed to pull together a prompt shift in momentum. Picking up a reasonably tidy 4-2 win over their divisional rival Capitals, the Flyers lifted quite a major weight off of their shoulders, but still sit with a reminder that there’s work yet to be done.
Overcoming the noise
To deliver the understatement of the century, things have not be...
Baseball America released their farm system rankings, and they are not the only outlet to do so in the past week or so. ESPN and The Athletic have also put out their rankings. The general consensus is that the Nats farm system is in the middle of the pack, though that feeling is not universal. […]
