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.
Aaron Scott Jr. was rated a 5-star (0.9835) in the 247Sports Composite and the number one overall prospect from the state of Ohio in the 2024 class. As a recruit he took official visits to Oregon, Michigan, and Ohio State in June of 2023 before committing to the Buckeyes in July and signing with them […]
Theres’s an interesting phenomenon that’s developing this season in the MLB. An unusually high number of young ball players are signing large contract extensions well before this would have likely happened in the past. I’m not suggesting this from a judgmental perspective, but some have signed before they have even made it to the “bigs”. […]
If I asked you to name Hall of Famers who have played for the Yankees, you would probably list the likes of Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Derek Jeter and the other big names and legends from the franchise’s history. There are quite a few of people on that list who you can pick from who […]
(11-6) Gwinnett Stripers 10, (12-5) Memphis Redbirds 3 Box Score Gwinnett got a plethora of offensive firepower, as the Stripers beat a very talented Memphis Redbirds team to move to 11-6 on the season. Above all others, Aaron Schunk continues to absolutely rake with the Stripers, as he homered and drove in three runs while […]
Hello friends! The Mariners…well, we don’t need to talk about the Mariners game last night. This is your last reminder to join the Lookout Landing Mariners Watch Party tonight at The Rebel in Wallingford! In Mariners news… Around the league…
Morning, all! Skip Schumaker took responsibility for yesterday’s loss in a postgame presser, saying he should have walked Shea Langeliers in a tie game with first base open. The game was tied up when Schumaker brought in Cole Winn to face Langeliers in the fifth with a lefty due up behind him, a situation Langeliers […]
Even though Robert Spillane and Christian Elliss are set to return as the top two options, the New England Patriots are in the process of rebuilding their linebacker room. The depth behind them, after all, has seen some significant turnover this offseason Jack Gibbens, last year’s No. 3, signed with the Cardinals in free agency. […]
Jackson Merrill started the game with a home run robbery of Seattle Mariners center fielder Julio Rodriguez in the top of the third inning. He also got a chance to affect the game at the plate in the bottom of the ninth inning, and he did just that with a two-out, two-strike, two-run double down […]
Hickory starter Aidan Deakins went four innings and gave up three runs on a two out, three run homer, though an error preceded that so Deakins still has a 0.00 ERA on the year. He struck out three and walked three. Paulino Santana homered and drew two walks. Josh Springer had a hit. Dewar Tovar […]
All ACC teams have now reached or passed the midway point of the conference season, so it’s a good time to see how we’re all doing. Who’s running for the conference crown? Who’s looking like an NCAA Regional team? Who’s disappointed? We’ll go team-by-team through the current standings. 2. North Carolina 3. Boston College 4. […]
Joe's on a cruise, so Chip is here to help Eric send off Jonathan Quick, relitigate the Fortescue scratch, and figure out what NHL agents actually know about running a franchise.
Louisville Bats 9, Toledo Mud Hens 5 (box) Lefties Bryan Sammons and Sean Guenther both got rocked in this one and the Hens couldn’t overcome the deficit. Things started out in pretty promising fashion, as Corey Julks mashed his third home run of the year in the second inning for a 1-0 lead. Sammons was […]
Trea Turner hit Shōta Imanaga’s second pitch of the game out of Citizens Bank Park. Okay, I know what a lot of you were thinking: “Here we go again.” But that turned out not to be the case! Imanaga slammed the door on Phillies bats after that, allowing just two other hits and a walk […]
Some time ago, we asked for feedback, and one bit of actionable feedback that I got was basically doing a check-in on player performance on a regular basis. My plan is to do that twice a month, and with the 15th of April now behind us, I’ll try to get that up today or tomorrow. […]
Aaron Nola has been around long enough that we can essentially know what to expect, for better or worse. That comes with familiarity and can bring equal levels of comfort and dread. But, 2026 is and will continue to be somewhat uncharted territory for Nola, as it’s the first time in his career that he […]

Everyone loves the MLB Draft, right? It’s April, which means it’s time to cover the second edition of Baseball America’s Mock Draft season! Yes, it’s irresponsibly early, and yes, here I am anyways. As a reminder, the MLB Draft is scheduled for July 11th and 12th. It recently got moved to the All Star Break […]
Since 2005, every April 15th has been designated as Jackie Robinson Day across all of MLB. It of course has special meaning to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the team for which he debuted in 1947. Since the statue of Jackie Robinson was installed in 2017, Manager Dav Roberts has held a moment of celebration and […]
