Man, why do injuries have to happen? It’s hard to say whether or not Wheeler’s injury and whether or not it would have happened would have affected the series against the Dodgers, but boy. It really did not help them. 2025 stats 24 G (24 GS), 149 1/3 IP, 2.71 ERA (3.00 FIP), 1.14 HR/9, […]
When I think about the Cubs’ offseason starting pitching targets, my brain first goes to the free agents. Dylan Cease , Shane Bieber , and Jack Flaherty may be off the board, but Framber Valdez, Ranger Suarez, Tatsuya Imai, and Michael King (among others) are still out there and remain attractive fits for the 2026 Cubs rotation. Beyond them, we often discuss the trade candidates. Tarik Skubal (too costly to acquire) and Freddy Peralta (won’t be traded to the Cubs) are probably not on...
Good morning, LSB. Not much out there on this, the day after Thanksgiving. The Athletic offers up one Black Friday free agent deal for every time. Fangraphs has a lovely piece up entitled “Stick Wyatt Langford in Center, You Cowards.” And in case you missed it read this profile on Jared Sandler and his wife […]
Good morning Cyclone Nation and Happy Feast Week to all who celebrate! The Cyclone women are in action today and Sunday as they’ll look to pick up a pair of wins down in Fort Myers, Florida at the Coconut Hoops Tournament in the Blue Heron Division. In their division they’ll take on the Marquette Golden […]
The LSU Tigers face a tough Oklahoma side in the final game of the season on Saturday. Can LSU get a win and close out the season with a W? From third down efficacy, player props, team defense/offense numbers, team totals and more, we will have a little bit of everything as we roll on […]
New York and Boston have basically carried the Thanksgiving Showdown for more than a decade, but the league still refuses to market it like the gem it could be. Here’s why the NHL keeps fumbling an easy win.
Good morning all! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. As we kick off Black Friday, here is what’s going on in the baseball world. In Mariners news… Around the league…
In 2024, Reed Garrett enjoyed a breakout season with the Mets, especially early on when he was striking out batters at a phenomenal clip. He ended the year with a 3.77 ERA and 83 strikeouts in 57.1 innings pitched which was good for a rate of 13 strikeouts per nine innings. After earning Carlos Mendoza’s […]
Welcome to the 2025 edition of Ranking the Rockies, where we take a look back at every player to log playing time for the Rockies in 2025. The purpose of this list is to provide a snapshot of the player in context. The “Ranking” is an organizing principle that’s drawn from Baseball Reference’s WAR (rWAR). […]
It’s that time of year again when we Americans pause to give thanks. Did you know Canada also has a Thanksgiving? I only learned that from listening to Puck Soup with Ryan Lambert and Sean McIndoe as they refer to this Thursday as “American Thanksgiving.” That led me to believe there were other versions. This […]
Daniel Jones fibula may limit offense AGAIN! IU Bucket Game in FRIGID temps!
Jeferson Quero The fun answer! Quero probably would have already earned a spot on the 26-man roster if not for a torn right labrum that sidelined him for almost the entirety of 2024 and the first couple of months of 2025. He had a bit of a slow start upon returning, but ended the year […]
Baseball News:
Whether or not you’re personally observing a Black Friday boycott this year, Craig Breslow has some shopping to do. We’ve already seen him wheeling and dealing, trying to make the moves we need to get past the first round of the 2026 postseason. Thanksgiving was late this year, so that means the holiday shopping season […]
Drury’s accelerated bets without the superstar payoff have pushed the Rangers into the NHL’s dead zone: too old to grow, too thin to contend.
Happy Friday, everyone. Hope you’re all recovering from your food comas and your credit cards have been marked safe from Black Friday shopping. Today we’ve just got some little tidbits to round up the week, with a look at some minor league news for the Tigers, some World Baseball Classic news about Shohei Ohtani, and […]
Baseball is kind of bizarre, if you try to explain it to someone who doesn’t follow it. There’s literally the concept of moving current assets for presumed future assets, in a sport that is about trying to win individual contests with a combination of talent, execution, strategy, and tactics. I dunno, it’s weird. Well, in […]
I hope everyone had a very lovely Thanksgiving, and hopefully your Black Friday hasn’t been too stressful. There’s a lot the Dodgers can be thankful for, and that’ll be a central theme regarding this morning’s links. But first, let’s take a look at the latest name tied to the Dodgers. Former San Diego Padres closer […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
I’m going to keep this short today since yesterday was a holiday and I didn’t have a lot of time to write. Plus, there wasn’t a lot of news. At The Star, Jaylon Thompson wrote “How recent MLB trade could alter Royals’ pursuit for impact bat this offseason”: The Royals have been linked to potential […]
Braves History 1957 – Warren Spahn of the Milwaukee Braves wins the Cy Young Award as the major leagues’ top pitcher almost unanimously. His only competition for the title is Dick Donovan, of the Chicago White Sox, who receives one vote. 1961 – The Milwaukee Braves traded slugger Frank Thomas to the New York Mets […]
Even after the worst season in franchise history, I still miss baseball. In the offseason, there are plenty of other sports to watch that keep you entertained, but it’s not the same as baseball. This year, about two months after the Rockies 2025 season ended and about four months before the 2026 season begins, I am grateful for Rocky Mountain PBS and its recent “Colorado Experience” […]
Coming off a close vote at No. 6, in which Jackson Chourio eked out Quinn Priester, Priester bounced back to dominate in the voting for No. 7. Priester took the seventh spot with 12 votes from the BCB community, while Abner Uribe and Andrew Vaughn each picked up one vote to round out the voting […]
Happy Friday, everyone! We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are recovering from your food coma. Now, before you get into your Black Friday shopping, we have a little bit of a news post to start your day. There’s a little bit of everything, but of course, the biggest news is one of the […]
Good morning, baseball fans! We hope you had a great Thanksgiving! Today, I wanted to see what everyone’s favorite home runs of the San Francisco Giants’ 2025 season were. Personally, I feel as though we were blessed with an abundance of my absolute favorite type of home run this season. Grand slams against the Los […]
