We’re months away from when the Yankees usually have their midseason malaise, but if they have one this year, then we got a little preview this week. They had every chance to win their fourth-straight series to open the year, but dropped the last two against the A’s at home, both contests decided by one […]
Here we track Mizzou, but the Tigers are amongst the teams with the fewest players in the portal. If you follow the transfer tracker it sometimes can be overwhelming to follow just one team. So one of the things I’ve done with RockM+ is taking to tracking all of the SEC. And there is a […]
Real Madrid host Girona right in between of the two crucial legs against Bayern Munich in the Champions League. The team’s loss to Mallorca last Saturday all but clinched Barcelona’s LaLiga title, so Arbeloa will be tempted to make some rotations in order to keep his players fresh. Madrid should still have what it takes […]
Real Madrid host Girona in what’s expected to be a good opportunity for coach Arbeloa to give some minutes to players like Bellingham, Camavinga or Mendy as the three of them try to gain momentum ahead of Wednesday’s match against Bayern Munich in the return leg of the Champions League Quarterfinals. Real Madrid predicted XI: […]
The San Diego Padres played their first extra-innings game of the 2026 season and the first under new manager Craig Stammen. It took 12 innings for the Padres to top the Colorado Rockies in their series opener at Petco Park on Thursday night, giving them and Stammen the win. The game was settled in the […]
The Colorado Rockies fought and fought, pushing the San Diego Padres into extras. Unfortunately, they came out on the losing end of a crooked loss, but they showed some absolute heart. The loss snapped a four-game winning streak, and also marked the longest game (by innings) in 2026. Jimmy Herget opened with a clear inning […]
Memphis Redbirds 4, Charlotte Knights 1Memphis wasted no time, tagging starter Douglas Nikhazy for three early runs. The 26-year-old, a spring waiver flier from the Cleveland Guardians, has been little more than a roster filler. Tonight, he went 3 2/3 innings and allowed three runs on five hits. The Redbirds tacked on one more tally […]
The Atlanta Braves return to Truist Park and kick off the weekend with a three-game set against the Cleveland Guardians. The Braves enter play with an 8-5 record and are coming off a series win in Anaheim, where the run column was high, and emotions even higher. The Guardians come to town with the same […]
Introduction I struggle with failure. It’s one of many, many, many reasons I was never going to be a professional athlete – particularly a baseball player given the sport’s inherent propensity for failure. No matter how many times someone told me, “Even the best ballplayers fail seven out of ten times” I was always too […]
On a cold blustery evening, the Arizona Diamondbacks were able to take the series against the Mets today after the bats broke out late against the Mets bullpen. The victory today is a key win for this team in the early going as the W/L record against a team like the Mets could prove to […]
Pitching ruled the night, and the bats did just enough to drag the White Sox across the finish line, 2-0. Raise a glass: the South Siders finally snap that 14-game Kansas City curse. This evening’s contest was influenced a little by the ABS, with a few calls overturned on both sides. It added a bit […]
You can’t win if you don’t score. For the second time this season, the Royals failed to score a run in a game. A 2-0 loss to the White Sox drops Kansas City to 5-8. It’s the Royals’ third straight loss, and in that time, the offense has averaged a single run per game. Tonight, […]
Iowa Cubs Rained out. Doubleheader starting at 5:08 tomorrow. Knoxville Smokies The Knoxville Smokies knocked the Rocket City Trash Pandas (Angels) out of orbit, 8-7.

It seemed like a solo home run might be enough. With Nolan McLean already having put up six zeroes, the Mets had a 1-0 lead as the seventh inning began thanks to a solo home run by Luis Robert Jr. in the bottom of the first. McLean was dealing at the time, but he appeared […]
The Colorado Rockies left Coors Field on Wednesday night on top of the world. At 6-6, the Rockies are at .500 at the latest point in the season since 2022, they’re riding a league-high four-game active win streak, and their offense came alive against the Houston Astros. Now comes the test: can the offense stay […]

Looking to salvage one game of their best of four in Minnesota, the Tigers got a good start from Jack Flaherty and they wasted it. In the process, an outfield collision late in the game sent Parker Meadows to the hospital, though early signs are that he’ll be okay though likely to miss some time, […]
Welcome back to Thursday baseball. The game hasn’t even started and yet we’ve had our fair share of Royals news already today. First, the Royals, among other teams, unveiled their new City Connect jerseys. Okay, then. Next, news broke regarding a plan for a potential downtown stadium for the Royals set to open in 2030. […]
The only way Arizona is can make the NCAA Tournament is by winning the Big 12’s automatic bid, but that also requires the Wildcats qualifying for the conference tournament. Only 12 of 14 schools that sponsor baseball will make the Big 12 Tournament, set for next month in Surprise. And with six weekends left in […]
Very little going on today, except a couple of minor MiLB notes: Trey Yesavage went 2.2 innings for Dunedin this afternoon. The surface results, 4 earned on 4 hits and a walk, aren’t great, but all four hits were singles. More importantly, he got 10 whiffs on 20 total swings and sat 94-96 all the […]
The latest news on the Houston Astros and from around MLB: Astros making roster moves: While it would be franchise malpractice not to put Cristian Javier on the IL after he left his last start after just one inning with shoulder pain, there is some encouraging news: Tatsuya Imai’s slider is unique, and that is […]
