The Royals announced they have officially called up Luinder Avila to start tonight’s game against the Brewers, and have placed left-hander Bailey Falter on the 15-day Injured List with left elbow inflammation retroactive to yesterday. Falter faced six hitters on Wednesday night against the Twins and gave up three hits and two walks. Michael Wacha […]

Friday afternoon game thread: at Pirates, 4:12

For the first time in 2026, the Orioles head out on the road, but they don’t have to go too far. They will begin the six-game trip with a weekend in Pittsburgh. Thankfully, we won’t be seeing Paul Skenes since he just started on Wednesday. However, we will get the privilege of watching Konnor Griffin, […]

White Sox to retire Ozzie Gullién’s No. 13 on August 8

During the third inning of the home opener, the broadcast made the odd move to cut to the pregame/postgame crew instead of commercial. Scott Podsednik was on hand to make a mystery announcement: The White Sox are retiring Ozzie Guillén’s No. 13. Ozzie, sitting right next to Podsednik on the broadcast, interrupted Scott’s reading to […]

Colorado Rockies game no. 7 thread: Aaron Nola vs. Michael Lorenzen 

The Rockies had an off-day on Thursday after capturing their first series win of the season on Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays in a thrilling extra-innings victory. It has been an exciting opening week, filled with competitive games and intriguing storylines. Last year, the Colorado Rockies came into their home opener at 1-5 with a -15 run differential. This year, they […]

Re-assessing wins and losses

It’s fairly well-accepted that assigning wins and losses are a flawed metric. As we say earlier in the week, pitchers like Tarik Skubal can have an excellent game, but still get tagged with the L through no fault of their own, simply because the offense has a bad day. Worse, relief pitchers can vulture wins […]

Friday Double Header Game Thread vs. The aTm Cult of Milkmen

The power bats showed out Thursday in a 14-8 pummeling that was actually a relatively close game for a while. Today, due to weather concerns Saturday, we’re playing two. Here’s Barczi Rescue with his third donger of the game, for instance: On the Mound Friday @ 2:00pm on SECN+ Vanderbilt #88 Fr. RHP Wyatt “Ice […]

The Phillies aren’t the only team with struggling stars

The numbers, they are ugly. Yep, it’s fair to say that, one week into the 2026 season, the “run-it-back gang” is misfiring on all cylinders. It has been frustrating to watch. As a team, the Phils are batting .220 with a .314 on-base percentage and a .360 slugging percentage. Those numbers are… not great. Turner’s […]

Brewers series preview: Small-market success

The Brewers play in the smallest metropolitan market in baseball, and yet have developed a sustainable model of success that is the envy of other teams. They have reached the playoffs in seven of the last eight years, and haven’t had a losing season since 2016. This year, the Brewers are off to a great […]

Flyers face do-or-die game with playoffs on the line

The Philadelphia Flyers are making a playoff push that everyone is on board with — well, at this point they are. They’ve been too good to wish for losses to improve the draft pick by a significant amount, so they might as well try to win and get a possibly brief playoff appearance that would give one of the youngest teams in the NHL a beneficial experience. But, with the 4-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Friday night they are now in a place where Saturday night while hosting the New Yo...

Game #7 GameThread: Jays @ White Sox

The Jays start their first road trip with an afternoon game in Chicago. And we can see our old friend, Seranthony Dominguez. By we, I mean you. I’m in Maizuru, Japan today, if all goes the way it is supposed to. I very much enjoyed Chicago when I was there a few years ago. I […]

Home opener Game Thread: Blue Jays (4-2) at White Sox (1-5)

It’s been more than a year since we’ve seen live baseball on the South Side, and after a one-day Mother Nature day, there will be baseball. Unfortunately, the baseball being played will involved the lackadaisical, 1-5 White Sox hosting the defending AL champion Blue Jays. And look no further than today’s starter for Toronto to […]

Baseball Hosts Illinois at Halfway Point of the Season

College baseball has a 56 game regular season for everyone and the Big Ten recently expanded its conference slate from 24 to 30 games with 10 three-game series for each of the 17 baseball playing schools. With Illinois coming to Alexander Field this weekend it marks roughly the halfway point for the 2026 season, and […]

Tigers Dominate Regional Semifinal, Chio Perfect Twice

The Tigers set an NCAA record for highest score in a regional semifinal and a program record for highest score in a postseason meet with […]

Giants Minor League Baseball roundup, April 2: Some glorious debuts

Well, I lied to you. I hope you’ll forgive me. In yesterday’s roundup, I said that Thursday would finally bring the return of multiple-game days days for the San Francisco Giants Minor League Baseball affiliates. Turns out I was wrong, as AAA Sacramento had their game rained out and postponed. Actually, it apparently stopped raining, […]
