I wrote in my preview about Simeon Woods Richardson’s struggles so far this year, and this start was no different. It didn’t matter what pitch he threw, the Nationals saw the ball well, weren’t chasing, and made him work for every one of the few outs he could get. As the titular Chappell Roan once […]

It’s unlikely to get better today with Simeon Woods Richardson amid arguably the worst stretch of his […]
The Minnesota Vikings have lost another piece of their history, as one of the best tight ends in team history has left us. The Vikings have announced the passing of tight end Joe Senser at the age of 69. Senser was a sixth-round pick of the Vikings in the 1979 NFL Draft from West Chester […]
