Three of the six former Wildcats to appear on Opening Day rosters will be present in […]
It’s a crowded outfield, but Aaron Judge has made the Opening Day roster. While that may have been an easy decision, filling out the pitching staff was not, as the team elected to start the year with a four-man rotation. Offdays tomorrow and Sunday mean the club optioned Luis Gil to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and roll […]
And now we find respite from our troubles. It’s a new season of Major League Baseball, one of the best pain relievers known to humankind. Unless your team is on the receiving end of some bad baseball luck. But we won’t talk of such things, not in this opening paragraph. Let us embrace the joy […]
The hot stove often overshadows changes made to coaching staffs, unless a team is searching for a new manager. The Yankees, of course, were not looking for a new skipper this offseason, but they did make a few changes to ensure the coaching staff was not fully the “run it back” version of last year’s […]
Well folks, today is Opening Day. Now granted, it’s only for two teams, it’s a night game and it’s on Netflix of all platforms, so it’s basically like Week 0 in college football. Sure, tonight’s game between the New York Yankees and the San Francisco Giants counts and everything but it’s not the same as […]

Tomorrow is Opening Day. But tonight is baseball. Regular season baseball. MLB is debuting Opening Night this year, with the Yankees and Giants opening their seasons against each other, all streamed through Netflix.

While it is certainly common for players to play for multiple franchises in their career, more often than not, they are generally associated with one team. In the case of today’s birthday boy, that association is not with the Yankees. Lee Mazzili played 14 seasons in the majors, less than one of which came with […]

Not baseball, mind you. There will be wrestling people. On Netflix. I hate MLB sometimes. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:

Finally. It’s been 168 days since the New York Yankees’ 2025 campaign ended in Division Series disappointment at the hands of the eventual AL champion Toronto Blue Jays. That was a big ol’ bummer, but it’s ancient history now. The 2026 MLB season begins tonight with the Yankees and San Francisco Giants kicking off the […]
New York Daily News | Gary Phillips: By all accounts, the AL East is going to be a dogfight yet again. The Yankees bring a lot of talent to that fight, with two-time defending MVP Aaron Judge and a top of the pitching rotation that rivals anyone in baseball. There are still real questions with […]
Spring training is over! The Yankees wrapped up the exhibition portion of their season with a big win over the Cubs down in Arizona — 8-3 is your final. Let’s talk about it so we can turn our attention to the stuff that will matter in pursuit of #28. Gerrit Cole had a power pitcher’s […]
The Cubs’ final spring training game was a clunker, an 8-3 loss to the Yankees at Sloan Park. So this is going to be a very short game recap, as the team’s focus turns to the 2026 season opener Thursday at Wrigley Field. The Cubs scored both of their runs on solo homers. Alex Bregman […]

Go get ‘em, Edward.
There’s very “last day of school” vibes around today, with the final spring exhibition before Opening Day tomorrow, wrapping up this two-game set with the Cubs from Arizona.
