The first place A’s took on the Mariners tonight at T-Mobile Park in Seattle. Jacob Lopez took the mound for the A’s against Luis Castillo for the Mariners. The A’s struck first against Castillo when Nick Kurtz led off the game with a walk and then stole second. He scored on a two-out double by […]
When the San Diego Padres and Colorado Rockies get together, anything can happen, especially at Coors Field where games can quickly escalate into unruly slugfests. That wasn’t the case tonight, however, when both teams’ pitching staffs silenced the opposing team’s offense in a game that can only be described as almost meticulous in its pitching. […]
The Orioles coughed up two different leads on Tuesday night as starter Shane Baz was, yet again, inconsistent, and the team’s bullpen had a rare stumble. All of it led to a frustrating 6-5 loss to the Royals, evening up the series at one game apiece. The Orioles’ half of the second inning felt like […]

The dress code is casual. We’ve still got a few tables available. Bring your own beverage. BCB After […]
The Phillies have had their share of poorly pitched ballgames this season. While they have had games in which they’ve given up more runs, there’s a case that this was actually their worst pitched game of the season. The Phillies’ pitching staff gave up 12 hits, walked ten batters, and hit two others for good […]
Pelicans pitcher Mason McGwire was named Minor League Pitcher of the Week. That’s for all the minors. Catcher Owen Ayers was named Midwest League Player of the Week. He was also promoted to Double-A Knoxville. For the second-straight week, Smokies right-hander Grant Kipp was named Southern League Pitcher of the week. Corner infielder Cole Mathis […]
The Royals have struggled to hit this year, so Maikel Garcia decided to try to win the game with his legs. The team ended an eight-game losing streak when Garcia scored in the bottom of the ninth on a wild pitch to beat the Orioles 6-5. It looks early on like the losing streak might […]
The Texas Rangers scored five runs while the Pittsburgh Pirates scored one run. Talk about branching paths. With the Rangers holding a scant 2-1 lead with two outs in the top of the fifth and with two Buccos on the bags for Pittsburgh, Texas hurler Kumar Rocker was nearing that point in the game where […]
Nashville Sounds 5, Charlotte Knights 1Duncan Davitt held it down for four frames, surrendering very little. A pair of doubles, a wild pitch, and a walk — but nothing that broke. Nashville scratched and clawed, and Davitt kept wriggling free. Ben Peoples followed and tossed two scoreless, hitless innings, and then the seventh showed up. […]
With the Twins trying to avoid extending their losing streak to 5, Simeon Woods Richardson was tasked with out-dueling the Mets Nolan McLean. The assignment proved to be difficult, as McLean would take a perfect game into the 6th inning. Meanwhile, old nemesis Francisco Lindor smashed a 3-run homer in the third off of SWR, […]
On April 21, 2024, the Braves began the day with a six-game winning streak. It ended in fairly routine fashion: the Braves took an early 3-0 lead over the Rangers, but Darius Vines couldn’t prop it up, and they lost, 6-4. That was the last time (before now) the Braves had a winning streak of […]
The Cincinnati Reds mashed their way past the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night at the Trop, hitting five home runs along the way. At one point, they held a 12-2 lead – that came as they entered the Bottom of the 9th inning – before things went a little sideways for reliever Kyle Nicolas […]
A fiery Dustin May had a solid start and JJ Wetherholt continued his on-base assault while Nathan Church flexed unexpected power as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Miami Marlins Tuesday night. It only took 4 pitches before JJ Wetherholt was on base as he ripped a 1st inning double to start the game. After […]
It is hard to believe that this is the same team that recently had a six game win streak. Maybe the Rays were never that good, and the Yankees and White Sox just aren’t much competition? Yesterday the Rays lost in part due to bad luck and less than stellar defense. Tonight, the team fell […]
Boy, does it feel good to beat Boston. The Yankees got their heads right over the weekend in their home sweep of Kansas City and carried that momentum to Fenway Park, handling the scuffling Red Sox in the first rivalry meeting of 2026. Luis Gil had little trouble shutting down a brittle Boston offense, and […]
After a road trip, it’s always nice to get home, and the Tigers were certainly happy to be back at Comerica Park. The first game of their series against the Brewers had Keider Montero on the mound for the Tigers, and Kyle Harrison up for the Brewers. Right now, before you continue reading this, I […]
Dodgers and Giants on Tuesday night will break their 1,288-1,288 series tie that dates back to 1890. Tuesday game info
Game two of three in Anaheim. And it is another late one for you guys out east (tho I guess I’m further east than any of you). Though, if everything goes to plan, I should be flying home today. I say if all goes to plan, because we’ve had a couple times when our flight […]
The San Francisco Giants welcome the Los Angeles Dodgers to Oracle Park tonight to begin a three-game series. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Landen Roupp, who enters tonight’s game with a 2.38 ERA, 2.20 FIP, with 24 strikeouts to seven walks in 22.2 innings pitched. His last start was in the […]
Fresh off a victory last night in Seattle, the first place A’s take on the Seattle Mariners tonight at T-Mobile Park. The A’s have not sat atop the American League West Division since June 19, 2021. It’s early and hardly an opportunity for a parade since they are just one game over .500, but it […]
After coughing up a three-run lead in a loss last night, the Mariners hope to even the series against the Athletics Tuesday night. Luis Castillo gets the ball for the M’s, still in search of his first win of 2026 in his fifth start. With a 5.40 ERA this season, the results haven’t been on […]

Last week, I dropped a request in the FEED for all y’all’s hottest Mariners takes and you definitely served up some HEAT. Here is a handy ranking system: Blake Beaven = 1 star – a fine yet fairly tepid takeChris Bosio = 2 stars – workmanlike, solid, but not earth-shatteringHisashi Iwakuma = 3 stars – […]
The White Sox snapped their series drought over the weekend, taking two of three from the Athletics for their first series win since early April against the Blue Jays. They now head out to the desert to take on the Arizona Diamondbacks for a three-game set. In some good news, the South Siders are shockingly […]
I thought this meter would be better than the hitting meter because the offense has really been the problem. But honestly? It’s not that much better. There are more positive grades for sure, but there are almost as many pitchers mired in the poop right now as the hitters, which is almost impressive. All of […]
