The Royals have never been a team to walk much, but they did improve their patience in the second half of the season. They had a 6.4 percent walk rate in the first half – dead last in baseball – and an 8.5 percent walk rate after the All-Star break, 13th-best in baseball. I wanted […]
Finally, I think I’ve got one here that all of us can agree on. Nico Hoerner was one of the top players in the National League this year. He might have received an All-Star nod if he’d hit somewhat better in the first half. Overall his year was worth 6.1 bWAR, which ranked tied for […]
Luke Weaver entered this season with high expectations. The journeyman—who had posted a 6.44 ERA while bouncing around between five teams during the 2022 and 2023 campaigns—unexpectedly emerged as a viable back-end reliever with the Yankees in 2024, pitching to a 2.89 ERA in 84 innings and taking over the closer role down the stretch […]
The Milwaukee Bucks take on the Golden State Warriors tonight in a marquee matchup. Both teams have lost only one game this season and have looked the goods thus far, making this game one to watch. The Warriors dominated the Bucks last season, beating them in both matchups, doing an admirable job guarding Giannis in […]

Look… I get it. I don’t blame anyone for focusing attention on the Kansas City Chiefs‘ offense. How could you not do that? Wide receiver Rashee Rice is back. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes is playing at an MVP level. The Chiefs have scored 28 or more points in five consecutive games. It’s sexy. It’s fun. The […]
Baltimore Ravens (2-5) The Ravens snapped a four-game losing streak out of the bye last Sunday, earning a desperately-needed 30-16 victory over the Chicago Bears — who had won four straight contests entering the matchup. Baltimore’s defense held the Bears to just one touchdown while scoring three of their own and winning the turnover battle. […]
It’s been far too long since a Seattle sports team got on the field, but the Seattle Seahawks are just a few days from kicking off the second half of their season. As they head out to Washington to face the Commanders on Sunday night, their opponents are headed towards a swap of their star […]
Welcome to the 2025 edition of Ranking the Rockies, where we take a look back at every player to log playing time for the Rockies in 2025.

The Miami Dolphins host the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday Night Football to kick off Week 9 of the 2025 NFL season.

In March 2026, Astra House will release Metropolitans: New York Baseball, Class Struggle, and the People’s Team, a new book by A.M. Gittlitz (I Want to Believe: Posadism, UFOs and Apocalypse Communism, Beyond Antifascism). The book is unlike any other Mets-related book we’ve seen; Gittlitz has gne deep into not just Mets history, but the […]
The propulsion of this year’s season is quite a bit different than what was planned. No team in any league has a blueprint that begins with a 2-5-0 record. Which isn’t so bad when the entity is the NHL, NBA, MLS, or Major League Baseball. They play so many games that a bad start can […]
Following yet another loss, the teams’ seventh of the season, fans of the New Orleans Saints are left wondering if the offense has finally reached a breaking point under the leadership of first-year Head Coach Kellen Moore. Last Sunday, the Saints fell at the hands of divisional opponent Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 23-3 final score […]
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team has its starting point guard position squared away. Georgia Tech transfer Naithan George will handle the lead guard duties. Adrian Autry is looking to establish his backup point guard early in the preseason. Kiyan Anthony is a natural shooting guard. Although modern basketball has become positionless […]

Does your gameday routine look […]
Last week, Nick Caley was in our crosshairs. This week we turn our attention to the number one guy in charge. Nick Caserio’s tenure in Houston has certainly been mixed. It was bumpy in the beginning, but the Deshaun Watson deal and the draft that brought C.J. Stroud and Will Anderson certainly gave him a […]
2025 In A Discarded-On-The-Dugout-Floor Nutshell Speed demon continues to show smarts—even when his bat goes cold. Did he generate enough value to stay or enough value to be a part of a big trade package? The Good Jarren Duran continues to be an absolute speed demon and make teams pay for it. Not only was […]
The Seattle Kraken have gotten off to a solid start to the season, anchored by Joey Daccord and a deeper lineup. But the 5-3-2 start might not be fooling management, or organizations around the league that could look at the roster the Kraken have and pick out some valuable pieces they'd like to acquire. Elliotte Friedman said, "I guarantee you there are teams out there looking at all the draft picks the Kraken have and they're saying this is a team that has what we want. Seattle's going to hav...

Happy Thursday, everyone. Kalen DeBoer has been panned to a degree for his “coach-speak” in public interviews. He got pretty candid this week though, offering some insight into how he has motivated this group. “I don’t think until it’s all said and done, I’m not gonna let our guys think that we’re back,” DeBoer said. […]
October was a very mixed month for Reading. In six matches across all competitions, the Royals won twice (1-0 home wins over MK Dons and Northampton Town), drew 1-1 three times (Mansfield Town at home, Exeter City away, Doncaster Rovers at home) and lost 2-1 at Cardiff City despite a very good attacking display. Ultimately […]

Bye week couldn’t come fast enough for the Cleveland Browns. Considering how many believed the Browns would be winless to start the season, considering their “gauntlet” of an early schedule, the team came away with two wins instead of having zero. It’s not much, but you will take that. It’s clear that the team is […]
