From the moment JJ Redick was hired as the Lakers’ head coach, he was compared to Pat Riley. While some of it was just overzealousness and an attempt to hype the new man in charge, Redick does share some similarities with Riley. For starters, both were former players who transitioned from the court to the […]
Record: 1-2. Change on 2025: +1. 5-inning record: 0-3 Kohl Drake got the start, and it was a bit bumpy initially, as he walked the first two batters he faced. One of those came around to score, but Drake settled down nicely. He retired the next six men he faced, including strikeouts of established major-leaguers […]
Fernando Tatis Jr. appeared as the cleanup hitter for the San Diego Padres for the second time in three games. He seems to be adjusting to his new spot in the lineup, for now, as he recorded two hits in two plate appearances in San Diego’s 5-1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers at the […]
Big innings have defined the first weekend of Dodgers spring training games so far. Sunday included a four-run third inning that fueled a 5-1 win over the San Diego Padres in Peoria.

Another Lakers legend officially joined those cast in bronze around Crypto.com Arena on Sunday.

Unsurprsingly, Riley’s ceremony was […]

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. And the Jacksonville Jaguars are paying high compliments to the Los Angeles Rams by emulating their entire approach to team building and the offseason. Jacksonville hired a former Sean McVay assistant. Their general manager, James Gladstone, was Les Snead’s understudy. Now the Jaguars also won’t attend the NFL […]

The Lakers have a problem. It’s a LeBron James problem. Well, it’s also a Luka Doncic problem. Really, it’s an Austin Reaves problem, too. When LA’s three best players are on the floor together, they’re a -8.8 net rating. They’ve played just eleven games together and sure, sport an 8-3 record, but at their core, […]
When Mark Walter purchased the Lakers, the franchise moved from the “mom and pop shop” jokes to one of the richest owners in the league. There are plenty of benefits that should come with Walter’s arrival. The front office will be expanding with President of Basketball Operations Rob Pelinka already stating they won’t be sparing […]
Well, at least it’s not the Rockies! We will be seeing them again later in the preseason, but for now we move outside of the complex, and welcome the Angels as the first team to visit Salt River Fields this spring. Like the D-backs, they had a bit of a rough day yesterday om their […]

It’s been an interesting year for Sean McVay. Sometimes accepting reality can be difficult, but McVay has taken “refuse to lose” somewhat literally. He’s had a seemingly impossible time accepting the Seattle Seahawks victories in the playoffs and Week 16, calling the Seahawks lucky after the NFC Championship Game. Now, the Los Angeles Rams are […]
The Dodgers on Monday make their 2026 Camelback Ranch debut, hosting the Mariners for their third Cactus League game on the schedule. Landon Knack gets the ball to start for the Dodgers, after a rough second season in the majors in 2025. Knack had a 4.89 ERA and 5.66 xERA in 10 games last year, […]

While many Cleveland Cavaliers fans were blindsided by the Darius Garland trade to the Los Angeles Clippers, the one person who was not was Garland himself. “It was going to happen regardless, either at the [trade] deadline or this summer,” Garland told Marc J. Spears at Andscape. “[My agent] Rich [Paul] had that conversation with […]
After two years of early overseas trips and truncated Cactus League schedules, the Dodgers are back to a full-fledged relatively normal spring training this season, with four and a half weeks of games in preparation for the regular season. The one small wrench into the plans is the World Baseball Classic, with over a handful […]
When the Rams ultimately stood pat and drafted Steve Avila with the 36th pick in 2023, it surprisingly made him L.A.’s highest draft selection since Jared Goff going first overall in 2016. That bookmarked Avila as a very important player in the Rams system. Is he worth over $20 million per season to keep after […]
The San Diego Padres handed new manager Craig Stammen his first win in his new position with a 10-3 romp over the Kansas City Royals on the road on Saturday.
