Today’s Reflections Pedro Ramirez has been called up to replace Matt Shaw, who is on the 10-day injured list with back soreness. Ramirez will fill in the super-sub role, but with Nicky Lopez who can fill the infield portion of the role, Ramirez would be free for the outfield (if ready). He could have been […]
The Colorado Rockies’ roster needs churn, and the trade deadline on Monday, August 3, 2026, is the first real chance to create it. They are in a better place than they were last year.

Meet the Mets In the series opener against the Marlins, the Mets got some fairly strong pitching performances from the trio of Tobias Myers, Sean Manaea, and Jonah Tong (who tossed three scoreless innings in his first major league outing of 2026).

1911 Shano Collins hit the first three-run homer in Comiskey Park history — almost a year after the park opened! While that fact is fluky enough, Collins’ blow didn’t even leave the park: It was an inside-the-park smash to the deep center field of the park. Collins’ milestone homer came at the expense of the […]
Few saw this coming from the Tampa Bay Rays. They haven’t just given the Yankees a run for the money, but they sit atop the AL East standings, as well as the overall American League standings, as these two clubs square off for a weekend matchup in late May. Though both teams have gotten off […]
Will the Detroit Tigers ever win again?

The result was a 7-4 defeat […]

There is almost no chance that today or Sunday’s games get played, right? The forecast for these games is beyond poor, so methinks this gets made up as a doubleheader on some random August day. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Indianapolis Indians 7, Toledo Mud Hens 3 (box) The Tigers moved reliever Zack Lee up from West Michigan with Brenan Hanifee headed to Baltimore to fill in for an injured Burch Smith, and it did not go well.

There were positives to come out of the first game between the Yankees and Rays, but they were overshadowed by another bullpen meltdown. This time, it was the ever-reliable Tim Hill suddenly combusting, the Yankees wasting a gem from Gerrit Cole in his first outing in a year and a half. It’s great to see […]
MLB Trade Rumors | Anthony Franco: With José Caballero returning to action after a brief stint on the injured list with a fractured finger, the Yankees opted to keep Anthony Volpe around as insurance.

It took a miracle to get this game started. After lengthy delays due to impending weather (or so we were told), the Big Ten set a hard time of 10:20 pm for the UCLA-Purdue game to finish in order for the field to be ready to go by the conference’s deadline to start a game […]
WSU Baseball: Mountain West Tournament | Highlights vs. Air Force | 5/22/26

Cubs vs. Astros Saturday 5/23 game threads
