The Rockies once again fell to the Marlins in a one-run game. This one was marred by a lot of soft contact and weird breaks on both sides of the ball. But there were also some offensive highlights from TJ Rumfield and Ezequiel Tovar, who both his home runs early. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough and […]
This one was dramatic. Dylan Cease looked excellent in his Blue Jays debut, which is great news. The offence took a while to get going but lead big rallies when they were needed. And the Bullpen collapsed early and then kept it interesting but ultimately did enough. Cease cruised through the first two innings, giving […]
If it was not already obvious, Paul Toboni is going to make a lot of moves this season. The latest one just happened, when he traded for Curtis Mead of the White Sox. Mead is an Australian infielder who split time between first base, second base and third base with the White Sox last year. […]
The best part about starting the season a day later than almost everyone else is that we don’t have to wait through an off-day to get the taste of a dud out of our mouths. Sure, the Royals had a pretty awful offensive game paired with a mediocre pitching effort in last night’s match, but […]
The Braves look for their first series win of the season, while the Royals look to score a run and get their first overall win. I kinda hope neither of the latter happens, for obvious reasons.
After the always-odd scheduled Sunday off day, the Dodgers are back at on the homestand by hosting the Cleveland Guardians on Monday night at Dodger Stadium. Roki Sasaki makes the start for the Dodgers after a terrible spring training in a still-unrealized search for command. The Dodgers have stood behind Sasaki during his struggles, and […]

The San Francisco Giants are about to close out their series with the New York Yankees, and we’re all hoping the finale goes better than the first two acts. So far, the Yankees have completely shut down the Giants, winning 7-0 on Wednesday and 3-0 on Friday. San Francisco has mustered just four hits all […]
One of the nice things about baseball is that even if you lose your season opener in a burst of record-setting ineptitude, you get to start Game 2 with the score 0-0. Hoping to make it beyond the 1 2/3 innings Shane Smith lasted in the opener will be righty Sean Burke, who had a […]
After two consecutive shutout victories to start the season, the Yankees are on pace to go 162-0 with zero runs allowed. Will that happen? Probably not, but it is the first time in franchise history that they’ve blanked their opponents in the first 18 innings, and heading into the series finale tonight at Oracle Park, […]
he Houston Astros (0-2) continue their opening 4 game series against the Los Angeles Angels (2-0) tonight at Daikin Park. RHP Cristian Javier will make his first start of the season for the Astros opposite RHP Reid Detmets and the Angels. TONIGHT’S ASTROS STARTER: RHP Cristian Javier is returning to the rotation full time since the 2024 […]
The sun came out over Wrigley Field Saturday afternoon, though it was still quite chilly, 41 degrees at game time. The Cubs followed the bright sunshine in pleasing the 34,834 in attendance by getting a strong outing from Cade Horton and home runs from Miguel Amaya and Ian Happ and crushed the visiting Nationals 10-2. […]
Heading into the 2026 season, freshman Ty Kaunas was named the Just Baseball’s Preseason Big Ten Freshman of the Year. During the fall, he had a .400 batting average and hit six home runs. On Saturday, Kaunas validated his preseason honors, blasting his first career home run against USC. The shortstop stepped up to the […]
The vibes were good after the Brewers steamrolled to a 14-2 victory on Opening Day on Thursday, but these first 48 hours of their season have not been without challenges. After Jackson Chourio was unexpectedly placed on the injured list before the game on Thursday, the same has happened to Andrew Vaughn today. News broke […]
The Cardinals beat the Rays 6-5 in a game that went ten innings. The Rays’ offense showed fight, scoring four in the ninth to tie after being shut out for the first eight innings. Joe Boyle gave up two runs early on, but once he settled in, he was fantastic, retiring 15 straight hitters. But […]
After a great Opening Day win for the Nationals, they got a reality check with a rough 10-2 defeat this afternoon. It was a sloppy defensive performance where the Nats struggled with the sun and wind. The worst of it came in the Cubs four run second inning. However, there were still a couple encouraging […]

It’s quite possible we’ve seen the last of Kevin Porter Jr. in 2025–26. Prior to today’s game against the San Antonio Spurs, Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said that he would be “surprised” if KPJ played again this season. The news was initially reported by Eric Nehm of The Athletic. It’s been an injury-riddled season […]
The Orioles off day stayed busy with the team agreeing on a contract extension with Shane Baz, who’s yet to pitch for the team and isn’t pitching today either. Apparently the whole 26-man roster turned out for the press conference. That’s fun. That kind of stuff creates good vibes. The good vibes will be heavily […]
After a 6-0 thumping of the Royals in the season opener, the Braves will deploy their perhaps more-standard, righty-pitcher-facing lineup in Game Two. This means Mike Yastrzemski takes over in left field and the five spot, while Dominic Smith slots in at DH, hitting eighth. The cast of characters for the Royals is pretty similar […]

Sports championships. A measuring stick for civic pride, and, in theory, the goal for any pro sports organization (words from the owners of the LA Angels notwithstanding). One could argue that sporting competition has replaced the old wars between city-states as a way to show the superiority of one city/state over another. Granted, some of […]

According to Ryan Fowler of The Draft Network, the Green Bay Packers are bringing in Louisville off-ball linebacker T.J. Quinn for a pre-draft visit. Generally, the Packers’ pre-draft visitors have a high chance of being added to Green Bay’s roster, either in the draft, undrafted free agency or further down the line. Louisville just had […]
