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 […]
The Chicago Blackhawks took care of some internal business on Saturday as they team announced they have waived forward Joey Anderson. If Anderson clears Sunday at 2pm, he'll be assigned to the American Hockey League's Rockford IceHogs. Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman was first to report the waiver wire on Saturday. The 27-year-old Anderson missed the start of this season as he's been recovering from a lower-body injury that he suffered during training camp. While he's been ramping up to return, ...
Saturday afternoon will see Cincinnati Reds starter Rhett Lowder return to the mound for the Peoria Javelinas in Arizona Fall League play, this time at home at the Peoria Sports Complex opposite the Salt River Rafters. It will be familiar territory for Lowder, who fired a pair of scoreless innings against the very same Rafters […]
The San Francisco Giants are “closing in” on hiring as their next manager University of Tennessee coach Tony Vitello, per the Athletic. When word broke that the Giants had fired veteran Bob Melvin after two seasons, the immediate speculation was that president of baseball operations Buster Posey would be looking to hire his former manager, […]
Manchester United will be looking to subject Liverpool to a fourth consecutive defeat on Sunday’s trip to Anfield, and in order to do so, they’ll need Benjamin Sesko to be at his very best. Born in Radece, Slovenia, Sesko was 16 when he left his homeland for Austria and joined Red Bull Salzburg’s world-renowned youth […]
If Boston College fans thought they were seeing an entirely new Eagles team at Alumni Stadium on Saturday afternoon, it was partly because they were. The unfortunate thing is that the results were largely the same. Less than an hour before kickoff in Chestnut Hill, ESPN senior writer Pete Thamel reported that fifth-year senior Grayson […]

If Andrew Baggarly isn’t as close to an unimpeachable source when it comes to Giants rumors and breaking or near-breaking news, then no beat writer is. He mentioned Tennessee Volunteers coach Tony Vitello as a possible replacement for Bob Melvin when this whole search began, and just moments ago on The Athletic, he, Brittany Ghiroli, […]
The Edmonton Oilers are going with Calvin Pickard between the pipes for Saturday’s matinee against the New Jersey Devils. It wasn’t the only notable change in the Oilers’ lineup, as rookie forward Issac Howard will watch the game from the press box, allowing Curtis Lazar to make his team debut against his former club. Lazar,…
The NFL season is an evolving state of affairs, and week 7 against the Saints presents a new challenge for the Chicago Bears. They will be entering this week’s contest as rare favorites for the first time all season. How will they respond under Ben Johnson as favorites? In this weekly series, I’ll be featuring […]
Football’s a deeply ironic game, really. For instance, Reading can go on an unbeaten run despite being very poor going forwards, and then lose that unbeaten run despite putting in – by far – their best attacking performance of the season. My main gripe with Noel Hunt’s management has been just how stale, flat and […]
The Wisconsin Badgers are facing off against the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes in Week 8, riding a four-game losing streak in their roughest stretch in recent program history. Kickoff is slated for 2:30 p.m. on CBS. Wisconsin is coming off a 37-0 loss to the Iowa Hawkeyes last weekend, marking their third conference loss […]
There are a handful of games every season that seem to define who you are as a team. This sort of feels like one of those. Can the Dawgs shake off a late night in Auburn and play their best football before they absolutely have to? Before it’s too late to matter? Let’s hope so. […]
Is there anything to discuss today besides Shohei Ohtani? Talk about waking a sleeping giant. Ohtani almost makes this look easy, and it’s hard to remember that this incredible skill didn’t happen by chance—Ohtani built himself this way over years and years of single-minded dedication. Makes you wonder what you can do if you really […]
The Falcons renew a rivalry against their old NFC West foes when they travel to The Bay for a date against the San Francisco 49ers. Geographically, it didn’t make much sense, but the Falcons and 49ers used to duke it out twice a year (and sometimes thrice) from 1967 until realignment moved the Birds to […]
Signing Poona Ford in free agency as a replacement for Bobby Brown is among the best one-for-one upgrades in the NFL this season. Ford has elevated the Los Angeles Rams defense and is playing a major role in the team’s success in 2025. Ford and Brown are diverging in 2025 These are the Pro Football […]
It has been my belief for a while that the baseball season does not “need” to be 162 games long. A far shorter season is more than sufficient to determine who are the best teams, with everything after that largely being limited to the re-arranging of playoff spots. In April this year, I looked at […]
Gonzaga basketball is officially back—even if the season hasn’t technically started yet. The Zags open exhibition play on Sunday, October 19, at the McCarthey Athletic Center with a tune-up against Northwest University, an NAIA program out of Kirkland, Washington, that finished 5-23 last year but brings back two starters, including leading scorer Trent Williams. The […]
The Giants’ managerial search seems to be nearing an end, with a surprising name emerging from the college ranks. The Athletic’s Andrew Baggarly, Brittany Ghiroli, and Ken Rosenthal report that “the Giants are closing in on hiring” University of Tennessee head coach Tony Vitello as their next skipper. Vitello told The Athletic by text that…
Purdue once again opened the doors to Mackey to host a joint practice/intra-squad scrimmage where Purdue’s roster split apart to compete in three 12-minute scrimmages against each other in front of fans and media. Here’s some instant takeaways from the most extended look at Purdue’s roster a week before its exhibition at Kentucky next Friday. […]
Borussia Dortmund were unable to catch Bayern Munich, despite a good second half effort, falling to a 2-1 defeat at the Allianz Arena this evening. Goals from Harry Kane and Michael Olise (with a helping hand from Jobe Bellingham) gave Bayern the advantage. Julian Brandt pulled one back, but it wasn’t enough. Bayern gave BVB […]
Mark P It occurs to me that I could’ve been called myself “Moderator Mark” for the last six years of these chats. While I wince at the missed opportunity, let’s take some of your questions and address some admittedly more relevant baseball topics! Ca$hman Does Trent Grisham get a qualifying offer? Does he accept it if…
Joseph Umberto Picotto’s journey in his first season representing No. 8 Maryland men’s soccer has been far from ordinary. After starting the first two games of the 2025 campaign, the UMBC transfer battled an illness, which sidelined him for a month of action. While it took some time for Umberto Picotto to get back to […]
West Virginia (2–5, 0–4 Big 12) fell behind early and never found its footing in a 45–13 loss to UCF (4–3, 1–3) on Saturday in Orlando. The Knights set the tone from the opening drive and never let up, turning turnovers and field position into points while WVU’s offense sputtered throughout. To make matters worse, […]
TSN's hockey analyst joined Hustler to talk about the NHL club of Winnipeg.
