The Toronto Maple Leafs are facing the Anaheim Ducks on Monday night. And you know that this team, which has shown some fight and gumption in the games AFTER Gudas chopped down Auston Matthews with his dirty hit, would love to get a crack at him for some revenge. But Gudas was in a walking boot after Thursday's Ducks game following an awkward fall against the boards. He didn't play in Anaheim's game on Saturday. That would give him an 'out' from having to face the music against the Leafs...
The Houston Astros (1-2) continue their opening 4 game series against the Los Angeles Angels (2-1) this afternoon at Daikin Park. RHP Tatsuya Imai will make his first big league start for the Astros opposite RHP Jack Kochanowicz and the Angels. TODAY’S ASTROS STARTER: RHP Tatsura Imai is making his major league debut in a game every Astros fan […]
The Lakers have been on a roll for the better part of a month with just about everything going their way. Luka Dončić looks like an MVP, LeBron James is embracing his role as a third fiddle and Austin Reaves has stepped up in recent fourth quarters. The only thing that isn’t working? In-bounds passing. […]
For just the second time this season, the Oilers are on a three-game winning streak. This stretch has come at an ideal time for Edmonton. Their win in Vegas earlier this week kept them ahead of the Golden Knights in the Pacific Division standings, and Saturday’s win over the Ducks cut Anaheim’s lead for first…
The Los Angeles Rams are hiring a former Senior Bowl director as a personnel department consultant who will work closely with assistant GM John McKay. The Rams hope that over 30 years of experience with scouting players will have made Phil Savage their secret weapon. Savage, 60, started his career with the Browns as a […]
If you think the Milwaukee Bucks are playing against the Los Angeles Clippers today (after getting walloped by them on Monday), you are mistaken. Where We’re At The Bucks have but one opponent, and it is the Chicago Bulls. It’s simple: finish below the Bulls and get rewarded with a modicum of higher probability at […]
Saturday was quite an unforgettable birthday for Will Smith. Not only did his two daughters throw out the first pitch and not only was Saturday Smith’s bobblehead commemorating his go-ahead home run from Game 7 last year, but he also drilled a go-ahead two-run home run in the bottom of the eighth inning to mark […]
It’s not about how you start it; it’s about how you finish it. Following in the script of Friday’s win, this time with even more drama, the Dodgers waited to take command of the game for the first time in the bottom of the eighth inning. Diamondbacks reliever Juan Morillo came in on the highest […]
After a massive OT win in Vegas on Thursday night, the Edmonton Oilers were back at Rogers Place for a little matinee action against the Pacific Division-leading Anaheim Ducks. And in what could be a playoff matchup down the line, these two teams definitely played this game like it meant way more than just some…
Somewhere in the multiverse, maybe it would’ve been Eduardo Rodríguez and not Tyler Glasnow who would’ve joined the Dodgers via trade a few years ago, but alas, that’s not the case here. Glasnow and Rodríguez go toe-to-toe as the Dodgers and Diamondbacks square off in Los Angeles. FRIDAY GAME INFO
Today’s Lineups DIAMONDBACKS DODGERS Ketel Marte – 2B Shohei Ohtani – DH Corbin Carroll – RF Kyle Tucker – RF Geraldo Perdomo – SS Mookie Betts – SS Pavin Smith – DH Will Smith – C Nolan Arenado – 3B Freddie Freeman – 1B Alek Thomas – CF Teoscar Hernandez – LF Carlos Santana – […]
Nepotism has always had a rightful place in the conversation about Bronny James. However, from the jump, it completely dominated the conversation, leaving very little room for other discussion, like about his game or his potential as a prospect. So, while the worst talking heads you know were focused on questioning LeBron James’ fatherhood, Bronny […]
After the always-odd scheduled Sunday off day, the Dodgers are back at on the homestand by hosting the Cleveland Guardians on Monday night at Dodger Stadium. Roki Sasaki makes the start for the Dodgers after a terrible spring training in a still-unrealized search for command. The Dodgers have stood behind Sasaki during his struggles, and […]
That was a statement victory by the Edmonton Oilers. On Saturday afternoon, the Oilers defeated the Anaheim Ducks by a score of 4-2 to move within three points of the Ducks for the Pacific Division lead. Over the last week or so, the Oilers have started to look more and more like the team that…
he Houston Astros (0-2) continue their opening 4 game series against the Los Angeles Angels (2-0) tonight at Daikin Park. RHP Cristian Javier will make his first start of the season for the Astros opposite RHP Reid Detmets and the Angels. TONIGHT’S ASTROS STARTER: RHP Cristian Javier is returning to the rotation full time since the 2024 […]
LeBron James sees and hears everything. Need proof? “I mean, it sells papers a lot easier — and clippings and podcasts — if you say, ‘LeBron, the team is better off without him,'” James told reporters earlier this month after the Lakers beat the Miami Heat. “A lot of people will view it. So, I get […]
Sports championships. A measuring stick for civic pride, and, in theory, the goal for any pro sports organization (words from the owners of the LA Angels notwithstanding). One could argue that sporting competition has replaced the old wars between city-states as a way to show the superiority of one city/state over another. Granted, some of […]
Searching the whole of the National League, one will not find a team utilizing a starting pitcher at or near the caliber of Tyler Glasnow this Saturday. Scheduling and other outside factors led to some rotations—including the Dodgers—not necessarily starting the season in descending order of skill set, but the point is valid all the […]
As it sits right now before next month’s NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Rams’ pass catching corps remains almost entirely unchanged. They lost Tutu Atwell in free agency to the Miami Dolphins but every other player who had a meaningful role a year ago returns. It was time for the Rams to move on from […]
The Edmonton Oilers are back at Rogers Place on Saturday afternoon for a massive divisional matchup against the Anaheim Ducks, and with only a handful of games left on the schedule, every single point feels heavier than the last. The boys did a great job sweeping their road trip, knocking off Utah and Vegas along…
After sweeping this week’s two-game road trip with wins over Utah and Vegas, the Oilers are back at the friendly confines of Rogers Place for the penultimate homestand of the regular season. First up are the Pacific Division-leading Ducks, who arrive five points up on Edmonton with only a handful of games left on the…
The Dodgers minor league season officially started on Friday night, with the Triple-A Oklahoma City Comets losing to the Albuquerque Isotopes 3-1 at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark in Oklahoma City. Offense was at a premium on Friday, with the Comets’ only run coming after Hyeseong Kim led off the game with a single. An errant pickoff […]
Puka Nacua has been in the news, and it hasn’t been the most positive of headlines, but for anyone saying that the Los Angeles Rams are in a bad spot because they have to pay Puka Nacua, I think we can push back on that. The reason that Nacua is commanding such a massive contract […]
I want to believe the Edmonton Oilers this time. I really do. But there is a California-sized steel trap hovering above this afternoon’s matchup against the Anaheim Ducks. The Oilers close out an overtime victory against the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday, take all four possible points on the road this week, setting up a matchup…
LOS ANGELES — Charley Steiner returned to the Dodgers broadcast booth on Thursday, calling the first three innings of the opening day game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on radio. Steiner has battled health issues in recent years, including multiple myeloma and a back injury that made it difficult to walk. His workload for this season […]
