Playing shortstop is a point of pride. Even now, years later, it still visits me in dreams — the slow chopper that turns into a barehand play; the diving backhand deep in the hole; the thrill of a perfectly timed double play. Shortstop lives at the heart of the diamond. Every ground ball feels like it might […]
Hello everyone! The Mariners continued their run as the Cactus League’s sad sack losers, falling prey to the Rockies in an 11-7 slugfest.

In March the sun rises in Arizona just before 7:00 a.m. It varies slightly from team to team but, for decades spring training work has generally been expected to start around that time.

If you take out the eight runs given up by Casey Lawrence in the final three innings, this game is a decisive win for the Mariners, and I invite you to live in that reality instead of this one, where the Mariners lose 11-7 to the Colorado Rockies, which even in Spring Training, feels embarrassing.

Swapping out struggling players, testing out prospects, and dealing with player injuries all contributed to the overall lack of stability. As the organization continues to evaluate young talent and […]
After a strong performance in Vegas to get back in the win column, the Edmonton Oilers faced a mammoth test in Game 2 of their road trip when the team landed in Denver to face the league-leading Colorado Avalanche.

However, like many half-baked recurring sketches on “Saturday Night Live,” the phrase can be overused and […]

And…

The Colorado Rockies dropped their 2026 pre-season hype video on Monday morning.
