The older you get, the easier it is to think four, five years ago wasn’t ancient history. I still have the same phone, same laptop from 2022, for instance – the same desk chair, car, house, backpack. But watching Wednesday evening’s contest in Great American Ball Park between the Cincinnati Reds and San Francisco Giants […]
It was a rough night at the plate for the Colorado Rockies as they failed to get their offense rolling once again as the Astros took home a 3-1 victory to win the series and hand the Rockies their sixth-straight loss. Not Around Long Enough Things did not get off to a good start for […]
Box Score Sometimes the stupidest things can change a team’s momentum. In the eighth inning tonight, a Brewers offense that was grasping at straws all night managed to score two runs on four batted balls that had an average exit velocity of 63 mph and went a combined distance of 23 feet in the air. […]
Raphinha says he’s suffering in the wake of Barcelona’s Champions League exit at the hands of La Liga rivals Atletico Madrid. The Barcelona star has been sidelined since sustaining an injury on international duty with Brazil, meaning he missed the two games against Diego Simeone’s side. Raphinha was in Madrid to watch the game, and […]
Top Red Sox prospect Franklin Arias continued his scorching hot start to the season in Double-A Portland’s 8-6 win over Altoona on Wednesday night. Arias, starting at shortstop and leading off for the Sea Dogs at Altoona’s Peoples Natural Gas Field, went 2-for-3 with his second home run in as many nights, one RBI, four … Continue reading "Red Sox top prospect Franklin Arias stays hot, homers in second straight game"
For those of you asking. Jaxon Wiggins was placed on the injured list today. The Cubs say that they’re hopeful it will be a short trip. Porter Hodge will have elbow surgery and is out for the season. Dylan Carlson elected free agency. Left-hander Marino Santy was promoted to Double-A Knoxville from High-A South Bend. […]
In the first two games of this series, the Braves had to weather an offensive barrage from the Marlins. They didn’t do so effectively in the series opener, and needed a huge hit from Dominic Smith to even the series last night. Tonight, though, it was largely smooth sailing through Marlin-infested waters, as Bryce Elder […]
It was a dark and stormy night in Milwaukee, with big lightning displays outside the stadium and rain leaking through cracks in the American Family Field roof. Inside the stadium, it was a pretty juiceless affair. Neither offence could get much of anything going. Ultimately, it was the Brewers who cobbled together a little bit […]
As corny as it sounds, a lot can happen before that 27th out, and what felt like it would’ve been yet another deflating loss—following a dangerous trend early on in 2026—turned into one of the more thrilling wins for the Yankees this season as they walked off the Angels at home, 5-4, on a José […]
The slumping San Francisco Giants retooled their outfield before Wednesday’s game, sending Harrison Bader and Jared Oliva to the injured list and recalling Drew Gilbert and Will Brennan from Sacramento. Unfortunately, they didn’t retool the way they pitch to Cincinnati Reds rookie Sal Stewart. Stewart gave the Reds a 3-0 lead with a three-run home […]

For the second straight night, the Philadelphia Phillies (8-10) gave up double-digit runs to the visiting Chicago Cubs (9-9) by a score of 11-2 on their way to dropping a third straight series. Jesus Luzardo’s early season struggles continued, allowing nine of the Cubs’ 11 runs on 12 hits, a walk and a wild pitch. […]
The Rangers wrap up their 2025-26 season with a 4-2 win in Tampa, finishing with a record of 34-39-9.
Well, it turns out the problems with the offense might not be fixed so easily. The Mariners looked more like their early-season selves last night in the series opener against San Diego, eking out just four hits and scoring a lone run on a sac fly. It was a disappointing comedown after the high of […]
The Royals did it again. They lost 2-1. The offense has now scored 2 or fewer runs in 11 of their first 18 games and in 7 of their last 8. The offense was miserable and missed the few opportunities they had to do something, per usual. The pitching was awesome again, unfortunately perfection has […]

Happy Jackie Robinson Day, everyone! The Tigers and Royals were sporting their number 42s in Detroit, and hoping for a repeat of the previous night’s victory, perhaps with a few more runs. To get there, the Tigers would need to get through Seth Lugo on the mound for the Royals, while the Tigers themselves turned […]
We’re about one hour away from gametime here tonight in Sacramento as the Athletics gear up for the third game of this four-game set against their division-rival Texas Rangers. Both teams are tied atop the AL West so whoever wins tonight’s contest can lay claim to sole possession of first place. Big stakes even if […]

The most telling statistic in the San Francisco Giants’ 2-1 loss to the Cincinnati Reds is the two teams’ pitch counts. Four Giants pitchers combined to throw 145 pitches in eight innings. The Reds got through nine innings against the free-swinging Giants in just 111 pitches, an average of 12.3 per inning. The Giants had […]
