Last week, Yankees right-hander Luis Gil made his season debut against the Tampa Bay Rays, allowing three runs in four innings, with three hits, three walks, and just two strikeouts. He was undoubtedly shaky despite limiting the damage somewhat. On Wednesday, he made his second start, and even though there were some improvements, the results […]
After the offense got shut out for the first time this season, they boys will look to bounce back and secure a split in Pittsburgh. It has been a long and mostly successful road trip, but getting this win would be a great way to close things out. The Nats are playing some early afternoon […]
Bryce Elder has made four starts and given up a grand total of one (1) run so far across four starts and 23.1 innings of work. That’s it — that’s the stat. As of now, there are only three pitchers who are ahead of Elder on the leaderboard and one of them is Shohei Ohtani. […]
Worcester: L, 3-5 (BOX SCORE) This game may have had a totally different outcome if the WooSox simply left fewer men on base, especially later on. A total of 14 were left stranded in the midst of 11 walks by Sounds (Brewers AAA) pitchers. It also didn’t help that the WooSox found themselves quickly down […]

Hillsborough County will hold a Rays Stadium workshop this afternoon to consider the funding MOU submitted by the team last week. You can watch the proceedings starting at 1:30 PM. The workshop is largely for commissioners to gather more information, which means it will also be the public’s best opportunity as well. Remember that Florida’s […]
Down in South Philadelphia last night, the crowd filled in slowly for the Sixers’ Play-In Tournament matchup with the Magic. Blame traffic concerns if you’d like given that the Phillies were hosting a game across the street too and the simple fact that it was a weeknight. Sitting at Xfinity Mobile Arena before tipoff, both […]

AAA: Sugar Land Space Cowboys (10-7) lost 9-8 (BOX SCORE) Sugar Land got on the board in the first inning on an Alexander solo home run. Fleury got the start and allowed one unearned run over 2.2 innings. He was relieved […]
Reminder: I’m on vacation all this week and will be a little briefer than usual this week. Thanks for your patience. The Cubs offense has showing some serious signs of life. It’s now 53 runs over eight and if we drop the high and the low, it’s 42 over six. Or if you prefer, it’s […]

Check back regularly for posts about the Phillies participation (or lack thereof) in […]
The schedule keeps lining ‘em up and the Braves keep knocking ‘em down. Indeed, we’re just under 20 games into the season and the Braves are not just in first place at the moment, they’re the only team above .500 in the NL East and they still have yet to drop a series. This is […]
After a brief break in the action, Missouri’s track and field team are back and ready to hit the track. The Tigers return to competition this weekend with athletes spread across two different meets, the premier Bryan Clay Invitational and the always-competitive Big Red Classic. The bulk of the squad will head to Lincoln, Neb., […]
The Royals are averaging just 3.11 runs-per-game, second-fewest in baseball. They have scored three runs or less in 12 of their 18 matchups so far. But for long-time Royals fans, this is just business as usual. If the calendar reads April, that means taxes are due, Midwestern showers are common, and the Royals are leaving […]
Team News Del Castillo punctuates D-backs’ strong trip with go-ahead HR in 10th“They’re winning players with a winning attitude,” manager Torey Lovullo said. “There’s good leadership on this team. There’s a good culture. The leaders carry the torch here and they don’t want to let bad things happen, and they address it right on the […]
The Yankees have played with fire this week with the Angels, twice heading to the bottom of the ninth trailing and twice able to find a way to win. Good thing, too, since the AL East, and the American League more broadly, has tightened up quite a bit after the Yankees’ fast 8-2 start. It […]
Thursday Afternoon Heights sounds bad, but that’s what we have. The #2 LSU gymnastics team is back in action in Fort Worth for the fourth straight year. After winning the Baton Rouge Regional, the Tigers are looking to grab one of two available spots in the national championship and potentially pick up some individual hardware […]
Something was just the slightest bit off with Cincinnati Reds righty Chase Burns during his most recent start. It was a warm night in Great American Ball Park against a moderately imposing Los Angeles Angels lineup back on April 10th, with nothing too out of the ordinary about the conditions. Still, the fireballin’ righty had […]
As this season progresses, we are going to be paying a lot of attention to what is going down on the farm. The Nats most stacked minor league team is the Fredericksburg Nationals. While they are at the lowest level of the minors, the Fred Nats are stacked with highly regarded talent. Eight of the […]
The NL East leading Atlanta Braves, who have yet to lose a series this season, continue to bring pitchers in and out. Today, they made the week’s third reliever-related roster change (well, four if you consider Luke Williams a reliever). Hey, who knew that a 6.30 ERA and 6/5 K/BB rate from a marginal pitcher […]
The Cleveland Guardians could be called one of the more interesting teams in the American League. They won the AL Central last year (barely) and came into 2026 with a rotation that looks deeper on paper than it did then, even without any major additions. Their record so far (10-8) reflects a team that’s been […]
A day after conceding 18 runs against Fresno, the Ontario Tower Buzzers nearly one-upped them in a blowout win at home, scoring a whopping 10 runs in a single half-inning, their most up-to-date this season, moving to a 6-4 record. Player of the day Two hits were all that Jaron Elkins needed to stand out […]
The Rangers won their final game, moved to fourth in draft lottery odds, and gave us one last reminder of why this year was so hard to watch.
