Until last night’s win over the White Sox featuring Colt Emerson’s first MLB hit and home run, the vibes were pretty bad in Mariners-ville. And that was before Cal Raleigh hit the Injured List. As Cal himself and many others have said, “Obliques are tricky.” What should the Mariners do while Cal is out? Mitch […]
Once Max Fried hit the IL with an elbow issue last week, the Yankees were in a bit of an awkward spot. They had a former Cy Young award winner nearing the very end of a lengthy rehab process, yet it seemed like he might not be quite ready to fill in now that his […]

The Arizona Cardinals opened their first Organized Team Activities (OTAs) of the offseason on May 18 at the Dignity Health Training Center in Tempe, Arizona.

Purdue scores 4 over final 2 innings but leaves potential tying run on deck in 9th
Good afternoon, folks. Wondering why it’s a 4:10 pm ET game? Me, too. The best explanation I’ve got for you is this tweet from Marlins beat writer Craig Mish: Lucky us, on the other end of this grand experiment. Regardless, here’s hoping the Baldwin-less Braves can even up this four-game set today after last night’s […]
It was not Kyle Schwarber who socked a backbreaking homer off the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night in Philadelphia. That honor went to Bryson Stott, who crushed Cincinnati’s dream of a come-from-behind victory with a 2-run shot off Graham Ashcraft in the Bottom of the 8th inning that turned a 4-3 Reds lead into a […]
It was a very bad season for Arizona, arguably the worst in more than 30 years, but it wasn’t without its individual standouts. Just not as many as a team that had a good year would receive. Wildcats Garrett Hicks, Tony Lira and Nate Novitske were recognized by the Big 12 on Tuesday on its […]
After closing out their regular season campaign with their first sweep of Michigan in Ann Arbor since 1994, Ohio State baseball will open up what they hope is a deep Big Ten Tournament run tonight when they battle Washington in Omaha.

Nick Morabito’s father and uncle both played baseball. His father Brian played at James Madison University in the late 80s and early 90s, and his uncle John played at Wake Forest University and then in the Chicago White Sox’ minor league system in the late 80s. With their genetics and coaching, Nick took to baseball, […]
As poorly as the 2025-26 season has gone for Liverpool, it’s gone quite a bit worse for West Ham. London’s Hammers appear a near-lock for relegation, as they would both need to beat Leeds on the final day and for Spurs to earn no points from their final two matches against Chelsea and Everton. If, […]
Emmet Sheehan gets the start on Tuesday for the Dodgers in the middle game of their series against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park, but what’s notable is that it’s the first start this season for Los Angeles on four days rest. Sheehan allowed two runs in six innings with six strikeouts in his […]
As quickly as spring came and went, the White Sox leapt from horrendous to… fun? I’m not talking fun in the lovable loser type of way that the North Siders affectionately refer to their tribe, and not in the way a little league parent earnestly cheers for their kid, knowing they’re about to do a […]
We’d probably all like to forget the Yankees’ soul-crushing loss on Sunday against the Mets. That being said, there were several moments that can be remembered in a positive light, including Anthony Volpe’s first hit of the 2026 campaign — a two-out double off Freddy Peralta in the second inning. Volpe arguably had a pair […]
ICYMI: Buster Olney spoke with the folks at 680 The Fan’s Cellini & Dimino on a variety of Braves-related topics yesterday, but none were more buzzy than the following: should the Braves trade for Byron Buxton? It’s been discussed a lot over the years. A two-time All-Star and Georgia native who’d be a great cultural […]
