Phillies Town | Dodgers 2, Phillies 1: And Now My Watch is Ended

Welcome to Phillies Town, Twinkie Town’s Philadelphia Phillies playoff coverage because I like watching Jhoan Duran play baseball and don’t handle change well. Let’s go Phillies! While I didn’t anticipate this going into this feckless experiment, it turns out that rooting for the Phillies was fairly similar to rooting for the Twins. Maybe there’s some […]

Phillies Town | Phillies 8, Dodgers 2: The Zombie Lineup Lives

Welcome to Phillies Town, Twinkie Town’s Philadelphia Phillies playoff coverage because I like watching Jhoan Duran play baseball and don’t handle change well. Let’s go Phillies! After saving all their runs for late in game two, it appears our beloved Phillies were really saving all their runs for late in the series. With their backs […]

Asking @grok: "On A Scale Of 0-10 How Ass Are The Yankees"

And the perfect reply: 2008 ALDS - Beat Angels 3-2 in G4 to win series 3-1 2013 ALDS - Beat Rays 3-1 in G4 to win series 3-1 2013 ALCS - Beat Tigers 5-2 in G6 to win series 4-2 2013 WS - Beat Cardinals 6-1 in G6 to win series 4-2 2018 ALDS - Beat Yankees 4-3 in G4 to win series 3-1 2018 ALCS - Beat Astros 4-1 in G5 to win series 4-1 2018 WS - Beat Dodgers 5-1 in G5 to win series 4-1 2021 ALWC - Beat Yankees 6-2 to win "series" 1-0 * 2021 ALDS - Beat Rays 6-5 in G4 to win series 3-1 * : ...

Call Forwarding

 Alex Call was the last domino to fall - over to the Dodgers for a couple arms. As noted before Call was actually turning out to be good but if there was one place the Nats didn't have space for a player like Call it was OF where they want to play Wood and Crews and cycle through whoever else they want to look at.  Keeping a 4th OF is a luxury on a team like that.    Sean Paul Liñan was a solid looking arm for High A that the Dodgers pushed to AAA to see if they had somethi...

Pelicans’ Rookies Regress in Loss to Lakers in Vegas

While you don’t ever want to take too much away from a Summer League game in mid-July, there are some problems for the New Orleans Pelicans. Trailing nearly throughout, the Pelicans fell to the Los Angeles Lakers 94-81. They are 0-2 in Las Vegas with three games yet to play. New Orleans got 13 points […]

Schadenfreude 361 (A Continuing Series)

The Red Sox have a 10-5 record in the month of June, with five of those 10 victories against the Yankees. June 7: Red Sox 10, MFY 7 June 8: Red Sox 11, MFY 7 June 13: Red Sox 2, MFY 1 (10) June 14: Red Sox 4, MFY 3 June 15: Red Sox 2, MFY 0 The 2-0 shutout on Father's Day turned the MFY bats into wet noodles. With subsequent losses to the Angels, 1-0 (11) and 4-0, the Yankees have not scored a run in their last 29 innings. As you can see below, that's a grand total of four runs in their last f...

The Pass Rush Will Have No Excuses Against the Rams

The Green Bay Packers pressured Sam Darnold 14 times on Sunday, their second-lowest total of the season. Only against the Indianapolis Colts did they record fewer pressures. According to Pro Football Focus, Devonte Wyatt and Kenny Clark lead the Packers with 9 total pressures each. Rashan Gary and Preston Smith follow with 6, while J.J. Enagbare, Karl Brooks, and T.J. Slaton each have 5. No other Packer has recorded more than five pressures this season. Green Bay heads to Los Angeles to fa...

Packers Periscope: Minny Mistakes, Jammed the Rams and More

The weather was too nice for a game like that on Sunday at Lambeau Field. With all the momentum of winning two games without Jordan Love, the Packers had no answers early for Sam Darnold, Aaron Jones and Justin Jefferson as they skated off to a 28-0 lead before fans could crack their first Miller Lite. The turnovers, the pass rush and just mistake-riddled effort is not what we had in mind. But even with the brutal start, the Packers made it more than interesting, getting to within 6 points f...

Attendance Up Across MLB

Major League Baseball is trumpeting an uptick in attendance at baseball games so far this season, with average attendance reaching 26,927 per game through the end of April. It’s the best mark to that point in the season since 2017 and is a modest 0.9% uptick over 2023. The Dodgers led baseball in April with […] The post Attendance Up Across MLB appeared first on RSNStats .

Los Angeles Kings Playoff Preview

New year, same story, still hoping for a different ending. Deeply concerning defensive lapses aside to the second worst team in the NHL this year and nearly snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, the Los Angeles Kings, with the help of the Vegas Golden Knights not showing up to their game against the Anaheim Ducks, managed to solidify their standing of 3rd place in the Pacific Division, giving them, for the third straight year, the Edmonton Oilers as their playoff opponent. ...

LA Kings Are Playoff Bound

The real postseason push begins now as the team has a lot of unfinished business to complete. Here’s a quick look at the rest of their season and potential playoff matchups. Tuesday’s 4-1 victory over the struggling Calgary Flames sealed the Los Angeles Kings’ postseason bid, officially clinching a berth in this year’s Stanley Cup playoffs. In true Kings fashion, it took a little extra longer than would’ve been comfortable, nearly coming down to the wire unlike years past when they h...

Top LA Kings Are 30, Flirty & Thriving

Seasoned Kings players defy aging stereotypes, leading with skill and experience on and off the ice. With graying hair and slight hints of wrinkles around their eyes and smiles, a few LA Kings players are beginning to show their age off the ice. On the ice, there’s little sign that their 30+ year old bodies have been through the ringer throughout their careers. At 36 years old, Anze Kopitar is still highly productive in all areas of the ice. He may not be a corsi god (that honor...

The LA Kings’ March to the Playoffs

December brought with it its usual slate of chilly challenges and the team often struggled to rise to the occasion. With 20 games left, can they do it?

The Mike Trout WAR Watch

Coming off an eighth consecutive losing season, plus the loss of Shohei Ohtani to free agency, the Los Angeles Angels have become an afterthought in Major League Baseball. They’re projected to win 78 games by FanGraphs, which would be a ninth straight season finishing with a losing record and a tenth straight season without making […] The post The Mike Trout WAR Watch appeared first on Off The Bench .

Dismantling and Dissecting

So, the Anaheim Ducks just got pants’d on live TV with hockey night in Canada 9-2 to the Toronto Maple Leafs. In what can only be seen as the bottoming out of this season so far, we saw the variance between two ends of the hockey spectrum in almost every way. At one end, the Toronto Maple Leafs. A team between 2007 – 2016 that had been consistently at the bottom of the Northeast/Atlantic Division, now reaping the rewards of their full rebuild. A team with high draft picks demanding high c...

Sisterhood of the Traveling Perry

Good evening Anaheim, With the current bleak outlook for this Anaheim Ducks squad, there hasn’t been much to look forward to. Injuries every other minute, the offense running dry and completely fabricated Frank Seravalli rumors, it’s been tough. So, trying to find brevity in this season, a new wrinkle has developed. Corey Perry, the third leading points scorer in Ducks history, is free to sign with a team again. This comes after his contract termination from the Chicago Blackhawks and a s...

Anaheim Calling Roundtable: Cutter Gauthier Edition

The Anaheim Ducks made a shocking trade Monday evening sending young defenseman Jamie Drysdale and their own 2025 2nd Round pick to the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for the rights to forward Cutter Gauthier. It was a move that caught both fanbases and everyone else around the league by complete surprise and could change the trajectory of both organizations over the next several years. We asked our staff for their thoughts on some of the more pressing questions to come out of this deal to se...

Between a Rock and a Quack Place

Good Morning Anaheim, As our Ducks sit in the middle of a rather impressive 3-13 stretch of games and the Christmas break coming soon, multiple questions remain on this Ducks team. What changes have been made in the lines to offset the loss of McTavish and Z? What can this losing skid tell us about the coaching staff and the Ver-Build as a whole? And should we all just dig our heads in and rewatch highlights from that two-week span when we were a wildcard team? Well, the answers to those ...

Game Preview: Ducks Host The Capitals

The Ducks will do their best to end their losing streak at 7-games tonight as they take on the Washington Capitals for the 23rd regular season matchup. The Ducks are coming off a hard fought loss to the Vancouver Canucks, one of the best teams in the NHL this season and probably the biggest surprise thus far. These two teams hardly get the chance to play each other but anytime the likes of future Hall-of-Famer Alexander Ovechkin, USA hero TJ Oshie, a Strome brother battle, return of the fro (S...

GDT: LA!

Photo by Bruce Bennett Studios via Getty Images Studios/Getty Images It’s the King’s tonight. I have this theory on the West. It’s WIDE OPEN. I’m not seeing a clearcut favorite or clearcut easy opponent. If Vegas and Colorado were at 100% then I’d say them without hesitation. LA is a beautiful team but the goaltending situation (while slightly improved) isn’t the best. We have a beautiful group of 4 forwards outscoring opponents and hiding a lot of mistakes. We don’t have a legit go...

Match Recap & Highlights: Portland Timbers 0 - 0 LA Galaxy

Soobum Im-USA TODAY Sports A game of soccer was played in Portland. Not sure if anyone had any fun. The Portland Timbers drew with the Los Angeles Galaxy 0-0 in a sunny and chilly afternoon at Providence Park. Two more Timbers players went down with injury, as both Marvin Loria and David Bingham had to exit the game with what appeared to be hamstring injuries. Portland kept their first clean sheet since opening weekend, and also collected their first point since that first game. Recap ...

Match Thread: Timbers vs. LA Galaxy

Kelvin Kuo-USA TODAY Sports Two teams who have stumbled out of the gates meet as Portland hosts LA. After a five goal shelling suffered in Georgia, the Portland Timbers (1-3-0) will have to have a short memory and put that loss behind them as they welcome the Los Angeles Galaxy (0-1-2) to Providence in a big early season Western Conference clash. Storylines so far So, uh, yeah, last Saturday wasn’t great. Portland looked disorganized and unmotivated as the goals kept pouring in in Atl...

Kawhi as good as he’s ever been? Three takeaways from Clippers-Nuggets

Kawhi Leonard posts up before no doubt hitting something crazy for the Clippers. | Photo by Garrett Ellwood/NBAE via Getty Images Kawhi Leonard scored 33 points on 12-for-19 from the field, but he couldn’t save the Clippers from falling 134-124 to the Denver Nuggets. Seemingly not content with helping to produce the second highest-scoring game in NBA history , the Los Angeles Clippers went to overtime once again, as they fell 134-124 to the Denver Nuggets . This time around, the squad w...
