While I was engaging in some online banter on who deserves the most blame for the game-winning JT Miller goal during Edmonton’s OT collapse against the New York Rangers on Thursday night, I couldn’t help but notice the time-on-ice distribution of the Oilers — it got me concerned about the direction the team is trending….

Yesterday, someone, finding out I run this place, said, ‘That must be fun.“ I said, ”Only on days I have something to say.” Yoshinobu Yamamoto has been excellent this […]

Sometimes all it takes for a team to get a spark is to change the quarterback. In Jaxson Dart’s first start for the New York Giants, they upset the Philadelphia Eagles. The Los Angeles Rams will be going up against a quarterback making his first career start on Sunday when they take on the New […]

Earlier this week, I asked you via the SB Nation Reacts survey which long-time Cubs player you would most like to see get a contract extension. The result really was no surprise at all: Nico Hoerner’s age, defensive ability and offensive consistency do call for the Cubs to keep him for a few more years. […]

With the World Series about to wrap up, I thought it would be a good time to reintroduce the MaiLLbag to answer your burning questions about the Mariners and the wider world of baseball. We got a pretty good response from the initial call for questions so I’m hoping to make this a regular feature […]

How was he acquired? The Braves drafted Sinnard in the third round of the 2024 draft, using the 99th overall pick to take the righty out of Indiana University. When the Braves took Sinnard, there was a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to reactions. On the one hand, his 6’8, 250-pound frame […]

The Phillies and Halloween: A tradition like no other? Actually, there’s not really much history for the Phillies on Halloween. It used to be that the baseball season was well wrapped up by the time the 31st came around. But these days, with the addition of extra playoff rounds, the World Series now regularly stretches […]

The salary structure and team control matrix for Major League clubs is complicated and convoluted, but there are at least a couple of tenets to it that generally hold. Clubs get six years of team control over players, and the players typically operate at or around league-minimum salaries for the first three of those years […]

The bullpen and its troubles, a recurring topic during this postseason, especially as the performance of the last two starters was greatly affected by how much they had to be pushed to minimize the impact of the relievers coming in.

The San Francisco 49ers and New York Giants have some similarities this season. They’re both coming off their worst loss of the season, at least in terms of point differential, because the Giants’ worst loss of the season was when they allowed 33 fourth-quarter points to the Broncos. Both teams are dealing with injuries to […]

Michael Massey came into the season with high expectations after a very stellar 2024 season in which he played 100 games and posted 1.6 bWAR as he slashed .259/.294/.449 for a .743 OPS, eight percent above the league average. It appeared that the plan had been for him to hold down second base, at least […]

Louisville allowed Boston College to make this game much closer than it ever should have been.

Brooks Raley had a 2024 season to forget. The veteran lefty performed well in eight games for the Mets that season, not allowing a single earned run in seven innings, but an elbow injury forced him to undergo Tommy John surgery, ending his season in late May. He was a free agent after the season, […]
