Happy Friday one and all! The Arizona Cardinals and the rest of the NFL are barreling towards the 2026 NFL Draft and Jess and I are back to discuss the offensive tackles. This is a position of need for the Arizona Cardinals, so we went hard in the paint in order to get you prepared […]
The Baltimore Orioles have been run by one of the Moneyball 2.0 acolytes since the Giants hired Farhan Zaidi in November 2018. Mike Elias was part of the Astros’ front office, and their innovation on the Billy Beane way of running a baseball team* was not only to cheat, but to infuse data and “inefficiencies” […]
Later today, the Artemis II crew will splash down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California, marking the end of the first manned mission to the Moon in more than half a century. The baseball world has changed so much between then and now, from the introduction of the designated hitter in the […]
After starting the season 3-1 with inspiring victories against the Cubs and Phillies, good news has been hard to come by for Nationals fans. The Nats’ following 8 results have been about as bad as it gets, going on a 5-game losing streak, briefly interrupted by a 9-6 win in the series opener against the […]
The offense of the Cincinnati Reds has been simply abysmal so far in 2026, ranking dead last in both runs and wRC+ through the season’s first 13 games. Of particular concern, though, is just how poor the output has been from the leadoff position. So far this year, Reds leadoff hitters have collectively put together […]
Houston Dash announced the signing of defender Natalie Bain to a contract through the 2026 season. Bain will join the Dash in May following the conclusion of her academic studies at Xavier University. The 22-year-old defender has played primarily as a center back throughout her decorated collegiate career, and made an immediate impact as part […]
Go get ‘em, Shōta.
The New England Patriots are adding to their defensive coaching staff, hiring former Giants and Titans defensive coordinator Shane Bowen as a defensive analyst. Bowen previously worked on Patriots’ head coach Mike Vrabel’s staff in Tennessee from 2018 to 2023. He first served as the outside linebackers coach for three years before being promoted to […]
The Red Sox doubled their win total in 2026 by taking two-out-of-three against the Milwaukee Brewers and, realistically, came within a play or two Monday night from sweeping one of the best teams in the National League. They split the first homestand of the year 3-3 and head off to the midwest for a six-game […]
The X’s and O’s of hockey are a complicated topic. On any given play, the picture changes incredibly quickly, and there are few set plays available to both teams. Comparing hockey to the other three major American sports, it’s harder to put hockey onto a whiteboard than football, baseball, or...
The latest news on the Houston Astros and from around MLB: Spencer Arrighetti was dealing in what should be his last start for the Sugar Land Space Cowboys before joining the Houston Astros: Has ABS finally made the strike zone fair for Jose Altuve? Should the Astros consider signing Cam Smith to an extension? Flashback: […]
We’re now four days into the two-week transfer portal window. That means players have two weeks to put their name into the transfer portal, but they can take as long as needed to make a decision (as long as they do it before fall classes begin, typically). Ohio State has lost four players to the […]

Former Louisville quarterback Browning Nagle died on Friday following a bout with colon cancer. He was 57-years-old. Nagle, who played two seasons at West Virginia before transferring to U of L, was the quarterback of Louisville’s 1990 team, one of the best in school history. He led the Cardinals to a 10-1-1 record and was […]
For those that have missed out on this so far, every Friday at noon(ish), Redbird Rundown posts a short Random Cardinal of the Week episode! I highly recommend checking out some of the names of past weeks, including Khalil Greene and Jason Simontacchi, but every week has been a fun trip down memory lane! This […]
There’s nothing to do this weekend, but just win, baby. And as fans, here’s all the info you need whether you’re on-site, in front of the big screen or taking it in on radio while making that long drive somewhere, such as last year as I listened to the Maryland game while driving through the […]

Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. Only a few days ago, the Orioles were limping into a cold road series against the White Sox, looking […]
The Royals unveiled new City Connect jerseys this week, with mixed reactions from fans. The uniforms, which will be worn Friday evening, include a Royals “R” in a font similar to that used in the city flag with gradient colors celebrates the City of Fountains logo adopted by Kansas City in 1991. They are one of […]
After a couple of so-so starts to open his New York Yankees’ career, left-hander Ryan Weathers had his best outing of the young season on Thursday against the Athletics. He completed eight innings, surrendering a single run on seven hits and punching out seven. He didn’t walk anyone, which is particularly encouraging since he entered […]
The two teams in MLB that are yet to lose a series will face off in Atlanta this weekend, as the Braves host the Guardians. Bryce Elder will take the mound in game 1 and the Braves hope he can keep up his hot start to the season. He has been getting the job done […]
Considering the competition, a .500 record on the Phillies’ six-game road trip was disappointing. But considering the stadiums they had to play in, the result was acceptable. Can we just burn Oracle Park to the ground? The Phillies will now have nine straight games at home. It’s still plenty early in the season, but with […]
This morning, the Colorado Rockies announced that Greg and Carrie Penner, owners of the Penner Sports Group, have become minority owners in the baseball franchise. Major League Baseball has approved the agreement. With this move, the Penner Sports Group — which also owns a stake in the Denver Broncos — will become the largest minority […]
Jacob Young is posting a .660 OPS through 11 games. That sounds about right for the defensive specialist outfielder who has not provided a ton with the bat. However, when you look at some of the underlying data, you will find that Young looks like a much better hitter. We are going to break down […]
The Dodgers are undefeated against the National League this season, and that will remain true through at least Sunday. A big part of that is their early schedule being heavily front-loaded with American League teams. Their first homestand included hosting the Cleveland Guardians, and they just completed a World Series rematch against the Blue Jays […]

Pirates lineup: Shōta Imanaga, LHP vs. Carmen Mlodzinski, RHP Shōta Imanaga has made two starts this year. The first was just okay, the second, against the Guardians, was pretty good.
