Good morning, LSB. The Rangers scored late to beat the Tigers 5-4. Shawn McFarland writes about Zeke Duran’s big night and big catch. On the downside Brandon Nimmo is still being bothered by a pesky hamstring. The Rangers provided injury updates on Chris Martin, Robert Garcia and Carter Baumler. Still waiting on a Wyatt Langford […]
One of the concepts I kept hearing and reading about during draft season was “building through the draft”; how important it is, how it’s the key to success in the NFL, how dynasties are built off it and so on. Is ‘building through the draft’ still a relevant concept today, or is it more or […]
Rangers 5, Tigers 4
The Detroit Tigers opened up their six-game homestand with a 5-4 loss to the Texas Rangers on Friday night. Jack Flaherty floundered once again and the offense simply fell short after clawing back from a 4-0 deficit. On Saturday night, the two teams will do it again, with right-hander Keider Montero taking the mound for […]
The Texas Rangers scored five runs while the Detroit Tigers scored four runs. The Rangers escaped the dank, musty confines of The Shed and immediately started scoring some runs. That included a real first inning, lead-grabbing unicorn with Josh Jung plating the game’s first tally with a two-out RBI single to show that his torrid […]
The Dallas Stars' postseason run came to a quick and disappointing end, as they lost their first-round series against the Minnesota Wild in six games. Now, the Stars are entering the summer with plenty of questions. One of the Stars' biggest roster needs is another top-four right-shot defenseman. Due to this, let's look at three right-shot defensemen who could end up being on Dallas' radar this offseason. Rasmus Andersson If Rasmus Andersson ends up hitting the free-agent market th...

We’re back with our second rundown of Cowboys players in 2026. The first was guard Tyler Booker, an ascending young talent with an assured spot on Dallas’ roster and starting lineup this year. Today’s focus moves to the other end of the roster spectrum with receiver Jonathan Mingo, whose status for this year is shaky […]
Texas Rangers lineup for May 1, 2026 against the Detroit Tigers: starting pitchers are MacKenzie Gore for the Rangers and Jack Flaherty for the Tigers. Plays the first of three in Detroit. Josh Smith is sitting again, Ezequiel Duran is starting again. The lineup: Nimmo — RF Carter — CF Seager — SS Jung — […]
The Cowboys cornerback play in 2025 was dreadful. The Dallas defense ranked 31st in yards per play at 6.1, but their inability to slow down any opposing quarterbacks was their biggest issue. As we start to see a lot of way too early 53-man roster predictions and depth charts flow in, a consistent name we […]
The Texas Rangers are 31 games into the 2026 season, and having closed the book on the month of April,* I think it is a worthwhile time to take a look at how the Rangers hitters have fared so far. * Idiomatically, when we discuss the month of April in regards to the MLB regular […]
We continue scouting the 2026 NFL Draft draft class of the Dallas Cowboys by looking at the undrafted free agent class. Today we are looking at tight end Michael Trigg from Baylor.

Everything riding on May 5: McKenna or bust, the Carolina/Dallas pick situation, and why Drury's patience with Vincent Trocheck is about to pay off.
Good morning, LSB. The Rangers were off yesterday. Jeff Wilson has three developments from the Rangers’ win in the series finale against the Yankees. Evan Grant writes about Nathan Eovaldi figuring things out, as expected. Grant’s Rangers stock report touches on the bullpen and on Corey Seager’s struggles. MLB Pipeline dropped a new list of […]
After the year the Cowboys had – ranking dead last in scoring, EPA/play, and DVOA on defense – everyone was on the same page about what this offseason needed to be about. It didn’t take long for Brian Schottenheimer to move on from Matt Eberflus, but the head coach took his time finding a replacement. […]
Despite a shutout loss to the Texas Rangers in the final game of a three-game set at the hands of former Yankees hurler Nathan Eovaldi, the Bombers walked away from Globe Life Field with a victory in the series. Overall, they went 7-2 on the road trip, sweeping Boston and nearly doing the same to […]
When I previewed Ryan Nembhard back in October, the framing was modest by design. Pass-first guard. Two-way deal. Floor general in the margins. Best case: define his lane so clearly that the Mavericks couldn’t justify cycling him out of the roster. Worst case: blend into the background. Six months later, he set the franchise’s rookie […]
The Detroit Tigers return to Comerica Park to host the Texas Rangers on Friday after a 4-5 interleague swing that concluded with a 5-2 victory in the finale against the Braves in Atlanta on Thursday to prevent a sweep. This weekend’s series opens up a six-game homestand that has the Boston Red Sox coming to […]

That's Wild
THEY DID IT! The Minnesota Wild have won their first-round playoff series against the Dallas Stars in just six games after a controlling 5-2 win on Thursday night. The series was full of highs and lows and it looked for a brief moment that it was going to be stretched to seven and t...
You never want to lose heading into an off-day, but something tells me the Yankees didn’t have too bad of a flight back home. Though a shutout loss to the Rangers left a sour final note as the Bombers headed to New York, the setback still left them with a stellar 7-2 record on a […]
Quinn Hughes scored a pair of goals, including the game-winner, and had an assist, and the Minnesota Wild eliminated the Dallas Stars with a rousing 5-2 victory in Game 6 at Grand Casino Arena in Saint Paul. It was Minnesota’s first postseason series win since 2015. Former Florida Panther Vladimir Tarasenko and Matt Boldy also scored for the Wild, who got 21 saves from goaltender Jesper Wallstadt. Minnesota will take on the Colorado Avalanche next.

MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: Andy Pettitte, you’ve got company; Max Fried is making a case for himself as the Yankees pitcher with the best pickoff move. Fried’s skills were on display when he picked off Josh Jung in the fourth inning of Monday’s 4-2 win against the Rangers with a delayed motion (video in article). […]
The Dallas Stars and Minnesota Wild first-round series has been a competitive matchup in the Western Conference. With Jesper Wallstedt in the net and a deep forward group, the Wild have maintained their composure, unlike Jamie Benn. The Stars would trail the Wild for the majority of game five, as a goal scored by fourth-line forward Michael McCaron would put the team two goals ahead, 3-1, in the third. Tensions would boil over, as Benn cross-checked Ryan Hartman first in the ribs, and t...
