We get the Red Sox, with their new manager, for however long he lasts, for the next three games. And, we’ve had the post on Max Scherzer, we won’t have him to kick around (more like other teams won’t have him to kick around) for at least the next 15 days. I wonder if he’d […]
First Pitch (CT): 6:40 PMTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN/830 WCCO/102.9 The Wolf /Audacy AppKnow Yo’ Foe: Lookout Landing After the latest bout of losing, it appears I need to adjust my previews back to “look at the bright side” mode. So, after losing 5 straight and 9 of their last 10, let’s pull a few positives. Now […]
The Seattle Mariners are fresh off what is both their first road series win and their first three-game series sweep of the season and headed to Minnesota to face a Twins team that is rebuilding after being sold for parts at last year’s trade deadline, which should be a harbinger of momentum finally shifting in […]

The Cubs welcomed back a member of their Opening Day bullpen before Monday night’s game in San Diego when they activated right-hander reliever Phil Maton from the 15-day injured list. Maton had been placed on the IL April 10 (retroactive to April 8) with right knee tendinitis. He had posted a 13.50 ERA (six earned […]
Oregon beach volleyball ended their season last week at the second edition of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Championship in Huntington Beach, CA. The attraction of the Ducks and other teams participation in this tournament is that the winner gets an auto-bid to the NCAA tournament. On Wednesday, Oregon faced #20 Washington. The Duck had […]
Hey look, Roman Anthony’s back! That’s nice. The Sox are in Canada for the first time this year to take on the Blue Jays tonight at 7 p.m. Here’s who’s playin’ behind Ranger Suarez: As for the World Series American League Champions, Dylan Cease leads the Blue Jays on what I understand to be Ernie […]
Go Rays!
The Pirates added pitching depth over the weekend to help their bullpen during an extended stretch without an off day. Pittsburgh recalled right-handed reliever Cam Sanders during the Milwaukee series and remains with the Pirates for the first of four against the St. Louis Cardinals. Braxton Ashcraft was placed on the bereavement list as a […]

Good evening, folks! There’s no game tonight as the Braves are getting a rare off day in the middle of a homestand. There’s still some stuff to talk about and this is your chance to chat about anything you want (that makes sense for a baseball blog site, haha). What I’m watching tonight Game of […]
The Milwaukee Brewers have been a model of success for the past decade, and it’s quite clear the rest of the league has taken notice. From the Mets’ long-known courtship of David Stearns, to Craig Counsell leaving for the Cubs, to Walker McKinven going to the White Sox, and so many others, teams have been […]
The Seattle home opener was a disappointment, with the Reign falling 3-0 to Utah.
It felt like the San Diego Padres’ game all day, in large part, because it was. Michael King twirled six innings of two-run ball, sporting eight strikeouts and only one walk. He exited the game with a 7-2 lead over the Arizona Diamondbacks. It was over in a hurry. The Padres’ bullpen (uncharacteristically) gave up […]

San Diego Padres Fernando Tatis Jr. is exiting the first month of the 2026 season with a disappointing .250/.333/.290 line, zero HR, 12 RBI, and 0.0 WAR. A very strange start for a player with a career WAR of 27.2. Nevertheless, not an area of concern, but certainly a step back in run production. Tatis […]
While a clear feature of the 2026 Rockies is Warren Schaeffer changing up lineups depending on the opposing pitcher and analytics, one trend is emerging as a fairly regular trend: Edouard Julien in the leadoff spot. Julien has hit in the No. 1 spot in 17 of the Rockies 29 games with all of them […]

These teams meet for the first time since the Cubs defeated the Padres in last year’s tightly-fought Wild Card Series. Both teams are off to good starts in 2026; perhaps they will meet again in October. For more on the Padres, here’s Matt DeWalt, manager of our SB Nation Padres site Gaslamp Ball. The San […]
The Yankees ran out their longest win streak of the season this past week, getting eight in a row before dropping the final game of their set with Houston on Sunday. Thus far the team’s performance has come in three waves, with two stretches of dominant play sandwiching a terrible stretch where they couldn’t buy […]
A recent report from The New York Post’s Jon Heyman suggested that the San Diego Padres might return to their former Seidler-spending ways this offseason, even getting into the bidding war for the services of Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal. Skubal has long been sought after by other clubs, and teams like the Los Angeles […]
Last season, Seaver King swung at 53.1% of pitches in the minors. That is much more than the average big league rate, which hovers around 46%. This over aggression is part of what contributed to a rough first pro season for King. Now, the former first round pick is only swinging at 39.8% of pitches, […]
