Let’s be honest right up front: The Rockies are not chasing history in 2026. (They might be running from it.) They’re not chasing Todd Helton and Larry Walker’s 49 home runs. They’re not chasing Andrés Galarraga’s 150 RBIs. They’re not sniffing Walker’s .379. This isn’t that kind of team. But that doesn’t mean this season won’t be worth watching. Because while this roster won’t threaten the franchise record books over 162 games, […]
Barcelona and Hansi Flick have been left fuming by news that Raphinha has been ruled out for five weeks due to an injury sustained while playing for Brazil in a friendly against France in the United States. According to Diario Sport, there is “total incomprehension” at the situation. The club are furious that Raphinha had […]
The Memphis Redbirds opened their season on Friday evening against the Gwinnett Stripers (Braves). Several hours earlier, the Redbirds finally announced their opening day roster. Even with JJ Wetherholt moving up to St. Louis, there is plenty of prospect firepower on the Memphis squad led by Joshua Baez, Quinn Mathews, and Leonardo Bernal. Beyond the […]

The Arizona Cardinals needed a good ole roster purge after that horrid 3-14-0 offering the team gave all of us last year. That roster was courtesy of GM Monti Ossenfort. Among other things, roster building is part of his resume. So, after last year’s debacle, he earmarked which players to keep, which ones to release, […]
Now that we have baseball back today, we have to talk about this whole “day off after a game” Opening Day thing. I get it. MLB is scared of opening rainouts and wants a buffer day just in case. However, I am impatient and I want games all the time. Doubleheaders even! Maybe this will […]
Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (1-0) SYRACUSE 3, WORCESTER 1 (BOX) Welcome back to minor league baseball! With Nolan McLean and Carson Benge both on the major league roster and all but guaranteed to accrue enough innings/at-bats to graduate from rookie status, Jonah Tong will soon be Mets’ number one prospect, and the right-hander picked up where […]
The Atlanta Braves began the 2026 season on a high note after Friday’s 6-0 win over the Kansas City Royals. Ozzie Albies, Drake Baldwin, and Michael Harris II joined in on the fun and each homered. Together, the Braves recorded 11 hits and capitalized on the Royals’ weak spots. On the other side of the […]
The Islanders’ up-down, up-down form hopefully does not continue today when they host the Panthers for a 1 p.m. matinee in Elmont. Florida split two games at home (lost to the Wild, beat the Kraken) after finishing a road trip with a 4-1 loss in Calgary. Yes, they are last-except-for-the-Rangers in the East, but the […]
It would’ve been hard for the Yankees to script a better first two games of their 2026 campaign. Sure, they probably wouldn’t have written in four strikeouts from their captain on Opening Day, but otherwise, things have been stellar, with Aaron Judge busting out with his first home run yesterday in another shutout win. Two […]
SNY | Phillip Martínez The Yankees are now 2-0 in the 2026 campaign after taking the second game of their three-game set vs. the San Francisco Giants. The 3-0 final score meant that they have now pitched two consecutive shutouts in the Bay Area, led by Max Fried on Wednesday and Cam Schlittler on Friday. […]
Ronald Araujo has given a candid interview and spoken about his mental health issues this season that led to him taking a break from football. The defender opted to take some time out after being sent off against Chelsea in the Champions League in a defeat at Stamford Bridge. Araujo says he realised after walking […]
Game Summary The Diamondbacks showed a little more fight compared to their campaign opening loss last night, but still came up short at Uniqlo Field at Dodger Stadium (ugh). Ryne Nelson started the game for the good guys against Emmet Sheehan and very-much-bad-not-good-at-all guys, and it was a bit of a mixed bag for our […]
Tonight’s game started off on a sour note, with another first-inning bomb from Guardians rookie Chase DeLauter, already his third on the season. It seemed to foreshadow a replay of last night’s loss. But the next batter flipped the vibes, as Cole Young went full extension to corral a hard-hit grounder from Jose Ramírez and […]
Arizona traveled a long way to get to its Big 12 series, and then watched its opponent hit the ball a long way out of the stadium over and over. Wildcat pitchers allowed four home runs in an 11-6 loss at UCF on Friday night in Orlando. It was the most homers yielded in a […]
After the pomp and circumstance that came from the Dodgers’ second consecutive ring night, the Dodgers had a close affair on Friday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, pulling away late to win 5-4. Emmet Sheehan made his first start of the season, and he made quick work of the first three Arizona hitters by striking out […]
The highly regarded San Diego Padres bullpen failed to live up to expectations when the Padres faced the Detroit Tigers at Petco Park on Friday. Jeremiah Estrada entered the top of the eighth inning with San Diego clinging to a 2-1 lead. He was unable to protect the one-run margin, instead he allowed three walks […]
The first game of the season was a smashing success: rookies mashing, pitchers dazzling, and a can of whoop-butt was opened right off the hop. Would the Tigers be able to duplicate their early success in San Diego on Friday night too? Well, it took a few innings to come to fruition, but just like […]
Mariners 5, Guardians 1 The majesty of Mount Rainier on a clear day: Cole Young, +0.35 WPAMaking a mountain out of a mole hill: Cal Raleigh, -0.13 WPA Game Thread Comment of the Day
That was fun. The pitching was mostly excellent, and interesting where not. The offence struggled but battled and got just enough done. That’s not how the Jays will hopefully do a lot of their winning this year, but it’s nice to be able to come through in multiple ways. Kevin Gausman was phenomenal. He began […]
This is always a series where the records don’t seem to matter. It could be a battle for 1st place, or a huge game in the Big Ten Tournament, or where one is seemingly a big underdog. It almost always comes right down to the final at bat, and has seen its fair share of […]
We’re only one game in — so small sample size and all that — and you can read James Riggenbach’s game recap here of the Colorado Rockies 2-1 loss to the Miami Marlins. but what were your biggest takeaways from the game? Me, I was encouraged by the Rockies staying in the game after going […]
The Chicago Blackhawks dropped their second game in a row to the New York Rangers on Friday night, a 6-1 loss that gave the Rangers jus their 10th win at home, 73 games into their season. With 2:26 remaining in the first period, Nick Lardis opened up scoring after some solid offensive work from the second line and the first D-pair, giving the Hawks a 1-0 lead. GOAL: Vlasic to Bertuzzi to Lardis to open the scoring! pic.twitter.com/1DmlWxVtp7 — BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) March 27, 2...

Although for the first week, we’ll just be the Iowa Cubs wrap as they started the season this evening and the other three affiliates wait until next Friday. Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs boarded and seized the Columbus Clippers (Guardians), 5-2. Javier Assad got the Opening […]
