The Green Bay Packers have three losses by a combined 9 points in 2025. While the defense has held up their end of the bargain, the offense has been, at times, disjointed, undisciplined, and lacking in core philosophy. That’s the recipe that’s heating up head coach Matt LaFleur’s seat, despite being 5-3-1. New scene. Enter: The […]
No matter what sort of reports emerge on the Cubs’ spending intentions for this offseason, I remain steadfast in a general position I think we all should share: I’ll believe it when I see it. With that said, I will also continue beating the drum for them to spend more, citing reasons both (1) strategic ( read this one ) and (2) with respect to their market size, revenue opportunities, and relative financial austerity in the recent past ( read this one ). I will also continue sharing and c...
Amber Glenn is poised to make her first USA Olympics team in figure skating, after barely missing out in 2022. The post Out champion Amber Glenn is poised for her first Olympics on Team USA appeared first on Outsports .
It is Pat Hentgen’s 57th birthday today. Pat will always be one of my favourite Blue Jays. He was the Cy Young winner (the first Jay to win the award) in 1996, going 20-10 with a 3.22 ERA and pitching an outstanding 265.2 innings. He won the prize on this day in 1996, a terrific […]
One of the better stories coming out of spring, J.C. Escarra was impossible to ignore at camp for the Yankees in 2025. He was a wonderful feel-good story, but the 30-year-old rookie also served as an adequate backup catcher for much of the ‘25 season. Although he occupies a spot that will never garner much […]
We’ve kept saying it in some of these earlier reviews: the Atlanta Braves set a record this past season for the number of players used in a single season. Michael Petersen was one of the many players the Braves relied on for a short period of time while dealing with injuries. It was interesting how […]
General managers are meeting this week in Las Vegas, laying the groundwork for deals this offseason. Free agency is officially open, and the Royals have clear needs in their lineup. While they got another All-Star performance from Bobby Witt Jr., a breakout season from Maikel Garcia, and 30-home-run seasons from Vinnie Pasquantino and Salvador Perez, […]
Huh. That was a longer break than I thought. Thanks for the kind words in the comments. Yes, I'm not as motivated to post as I have been in the past, but rest assured I won't end the blog with a ghosting. First I'll try a couple new things if I really can't keep up what I've done in the past. Then I'll let you know if that ain't working for me. Speaking of what I've done in the past - Off-season position reviews. The Nats catcher situation was bad. Having your ca...
New York Giants quarterback Jameis Winston will take on the team with last year’s 13th-ranked passing defense, the Green Bay Packers (215.2 yards conceded per game), in Week 11 — beginning at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday. Is Winston worth starting in fantasy this week? Keep reading as we analyze his upcoming matchup versus the Packers. Sign up for Fubo to watch the NFL, live sports and entertainment without cable!

The Chicago Cubs are going to make a lot of moves this offseason. Some bigger. Many smaller. And they’ll come on all sides of the ball, from the positional group to the bench to the bullpen to the rotation. None of this is news. But Cubs President Jed Hoyer was pretty candid about where he thinks the majority of the offseason work will come, and that’s on the pitching side. From his perspective, it’s not too difficult to look at the depth chart and see where most of the needs lie. Cu...
The San Francisco 49ers are sitting at 6-4 heading into Week 11, as they prepare to take on the Arizona Cardinals on the road in a big game. The 49ers are coming off an ugly 42-26 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, where they took themselves out of it early by allowing three consecutive touchdown […]
The Arizona Cardinals’ loss to the Seattle Seahawks this past weekend signified that most likely, the franchise will miss this year’s playoffs despite eight games left on the schedule. With this in mind, what to do with this roster, and what should happen in the off-season is now on everyone’s mind. Cardinals’ fans are used […]
Free agency has officially begun, and the Royals certainly have clear needs they will need to address, particularly in the outfield. While the Royals sound more willing to explore the trade path than a free agent market that is thin in outfielders, they have also shown to be flexible and adapt to the market. Last […]
When we last left off with Young Master Wrobleski in 2024, he had the opportunity to succeed in the 2025 season due to a combination of makeup and stuff. No one doubted Wrobleski’s temperament when it came to going after batters. Where Wrobleski had significant room to improve was in throwing quality pitches at the […]
Free agent projections are out, and so it is that time again — time for the annual “should the Rangers sign This Player” polls. Today, we are looking at outfielder Kyle Tucker. Tucker is a 28 year old right fielder who was with the Houston Astros prior to being traded to the Chicago Cubs this […]
After firing 64 year old Mike Rizzo, Nationals owner Mark Lerner has seemingly been searching for the Fountain of Youth. In the past six weeks he has hired a 35 year old GM, a 33 year old manager and a 30 year old pitching coach. Clearly, the Washington Nationals have a new and very young […]
I wouldn’t say Japanese ace Tatsuya Imai is the top starting pitcher on the free agent market this year, necessarily, and I wouldn’t say it’s a lock that the Chicago Cubs pursue him in any case. But I would say that, on paper, the 27-year-old appears to have big-league-caliber stuff, has dominated in Japan to a similar degree that we’ve seen from other starters who’ve come over and had success, and could give the Cubs a different look at the front of their rotation. The Cubs are not unique in ...
After filling in for about 100 innings in 2024, the Red Sox quietly resigned Cooper Criswell as pitching depth in 2025. There’s no doubt that Criswell was useful with an ERA/FIP of 4.08/4.15. That’s solid production for the back of a rotation, to say nothing of a minor league depth guy. But depth is what […]
THE FACTS: Minnesota led for most of the first half, trailed by two at the half and was within six points in the final 10 minutes before Missouri blitzed the Gophers to win by 23, 83-60. This was really a good game, encouraging for Gopher fans for 31 minutes, but eventually the depth and overall talent […]
A 7–3 win that almost didn’t feel like one: Panarin stays hot, Trocheck shines, and Sullivan’s process-first mindset stands out.
Good day all. Today’s the big day where we find out if Cal Raleigh is the 2025 American League MVP. Fingers crossed! With all of the excitement, you could be forgiven for missing the other news from around baseball. Fortunately, I’ve got you covered. In Mariners news… Around the league…
Missouri’s College Football Playoff hopes ended last Saturday in a dull thud against Texas A&M as the Tigers offense failed to gain any forward momentum for much of the contest. Kirby Moore’s unit was unable to compensate for the loss of two key starters, Beau Pribula and Brett Norfleet, against one of the nation’s top […]
So far 2025 honors seem to be repeat performances from last year. With the exception of the ROY announcement on Monday (which technically can’t be the same as the year before) we’ve had familiar faces hoisting hardware. It started with the rare back-to-back World Series victories by the Los Angeles Dodgers and has continued with […]
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). […]
Another game where the Seahawks practically decided the match in the first half. The starters could have rested longer if it weren’t for the series of turnovers. The victory kept the Seattle Seahawks in the lead of the NFC West before the important game against the Los Angeles Rams. All data used in this All-22 […]
