The San Diego Padres held their annual Padres FanFest at Petco Park and fans came out to see the organizational leadership and the some of the players who were in attendance. One of the fans who made the trip to the ballpark and committed to a full day was Cheri Bell of Gaslamp Ball. She […]
Sorry about the lack of content the last couple of days. It has been busy. It should ease off soon. Mason Fluharty is a 24-year-old left-handed pitcher. The Jays picked him in the fifth round of the 2022 draft. He was #40 on our 40-man prospect list in 2022. Matt said: Listed at 6’2” and […]
Before you immediately run to the comments and simply put “YES”, hear me out. The St. Louis Cardinals have spent the entire offseason actually committing to the (re)build, but have done so by trading away high-priced and/or underperforming veterans and restocking the minor league pitching staff. Those deals have created opportunities around the diamond, except […]
The NFL’s Pro Bowl is on Tuesday. Or I should say the NFL Pro Bowl Games. Pro Bowl games used to be full contact affairs. Then they slowly started removing some of the contact elements for injury concerns. It started to resemble non-contact football, especially across the line of scrimmage. So they decided to replace […]
The Phillies will be a contender this year. They have assembled a talented roster that has the ability to go on a run that would ultimately lead them to lifting a trophy when the season ends. This very fact can sometimes offend people who might believe otherwise. Does the team have some holes? Sure. Every […]
The last time Shohei Ohtani was in the World Baseball Classic, he struck out his then-Angels teammate Mike Trout to give Team Japan their third title in tournament history. Three years later, fans from around the world will only get to see half of the Ohtani experience. After a 22 month absence from pitching on […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
On Friday, the Athletics of Sacramento and eventually Las Vegas, inked their young shortstop, Jacob Wilson, to a seven-year, $70 million deal that buys the club Wilson’s first two years of free agency and all of his 20’s. The Detroit Tigers already did something like this with Colt Keith prior to promoting him to the […]
Are the Arizona Cardinals looking to grab a young QB in this year’s NFL draft? Maybe the question should be, which young quarterback are they drafting? Maybe the best option is for the Cardinals to select a prospect, then let him sit for a year and develop. QB Jacoby Brissett has one more year on […]
Eli Morgan is a Royal. Or an Omaha Storm Chaser, on a minor-league deal, according to sources. David Robertson has retired. *means autoplay on, (directions to remove for Firefox and Chrome). {$} means paywall. {$} means limited views. Italics are often used on this page as sarcasm font. The powers that be have enabled real sarcasm font in the comments. Food For Thought: Please […]
1914 In a story told in great detail in 2014 on site, the White Sox and New York Giants played an exhibition game in Cairo, Egypt. This stop on the 56-game World Tour ended in a 3-3 deadlock after 10 innings. You can’t blame the players for failing to find a victor, given the arduous […]

Accordingly, in the lead up to the new season, all MLB sites will have an initiative for “Daily Questions,” starting today. I look forward to seeing you in the comment section! What’s the strongest reason to […]
Another day, another cold snap that reminds us that the hot stove is probably turned off. Talk to me again when the warm sunshine of Florida is on my screen and I’m whining about how long spring training is. At least there is the World Baseball Classic this year. On to the links. Phillies news: […]
Hello, friends. There are now 53 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day. We’re getting there! WBC-participating pitchers and catchers report to Sarasota in just eight days, while the first Grapefruit League game for the Orioles is 19 days away. We’re in the month where fake games will be happening! That’s more fun for me than […]

Welcome to our new February Daily Question series. Throughout the month, we’ll be posting question articles every day in the hopes that we can start some more conversations within the Brew Crew Ball community. To begin, we’re asking, “What’s the strongest reason to believe this season won’t be a waste?” Now, I’ll be the first […]

Let’s get excited for baseball! After nine years at the helm of the Minnesota Twins, Derek Falvey and the Twins agreed […]
Hello everyone and welcome to February. We’re trying out something new this month with “Today on Pinstripe Alley” in alignment with many of our fellow SB Nation sites. Instead of getting two occasionally random questions per day at the end of the Today on PSAs, we’ll be choosing one and offering our own answers before […]
The Royals picked up a fantastic 2-0 victory away from home at relegation-threatened Northampton Town on Saturday. Two second-half goals through Jack Marriott and Will Keane secured the three points in a great performance. The win moves us up to 10th, eight points off the playoffs. Leam Richardson was delighted with his side’s display. Here […]
Yesterday in the Moose Tracks, commenter Search4honor posed this question: For those who were here before the 2022 season. Is the way Colt Emerson is being talked about prior to spring training the same as Julio Rodríguez? As someone who contributed significantly to the way in which Julio Rodríguez was talked about as a young […]

The San Diego Padres played host to thousands of Padres fans at the annual Padres FanFest at Petco Park. The usual large crowd waited in long lines outside the gates before the start of the event and those same thousands poured into the park to head for the Padres Foundation garage sale, playing around on […]
Liverpool have been a bit in the wilderness for most of this title defense. While the Reds remain relatively strong – and alive – in both the Champions League and FA Cup, their form in the Premier League is what has dominated the chatter around the club. On the strength of two strong outings back-to-back […]
The offseason may almost be over, but the Braves have widely been rumored to still be looking to add a starting pitcher and there are plenty left on the open market, as well as some presumably available via trade. The biggest fish in free agency is Framber Valdez and there has been some buzz about […]
SNY | John Flanigan: A couple of weeks ago, the Yankees sent four prospects to the Miami Marlins to acquire exciting, yet injury-prone lefty Ryan Weathers to fortify their rotation. Weathers, who posted a 3.99 ERA in 38.1 innings last year with 37 strikeouts, still hasn’t hit his ceiling according to pitching coach Matt Blake. […]
