The Mets came to Wrigley Field riding an eight-game losing streak in which they had been outscored 44-12. Those sorts of things are usually ripe for the losing streak team to break it, especially with the wind blowing out at the ol’ ballyard. Not in this one. The Mets looked like a team in disarray […]
The Atlanta Braves have not lost any of their first six series of the season, the last team in the majors who can make that claim. They’re atop the NL East at 12-7 and are now taking aim at the two-time defending division champions in the Philadelphia Phillies for a three-game series which begins Friday […]

The Orioles will look to even the series tonight after avoiding being no-hit on Thursday. Gunnar Henderson will lead off and play shortstop with left fielder Taylor Ward batting second. Pete Alonso will bat third, and designated hitter Dylan Beavers will bat clean up. Baltimore has struggled to fill the clean up spot with Adley […]
Another early end to the season rehashes conversations of disappointments, shortcomings, and future plans. Hear from all the Rangers as they reflect on another lost season.
Going into the Mets’ matinee with the Cubs, things were bleak. The Mets lost eight straight, the bats were dead, and the starting pitching has been inconsistent. Well, things got worse, and the Mets dropped their ninth straight, losing to the Cubs 12-4. The Mets managed to make fairly good contact off of Cubs starter […]
We are just under a week away from the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, and rumors persist about the Cowboys trying to trade up in the draft. The latest rumblings come from NFL insider Jordan Schultz, who specifically said the team is looking at a player the Giants are also hoping to draft. […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Braves: Let’s talk about it.
After getting banged up repeatedly in Thursday’s victory, utilityman Zach McKinstry has been placed on the 10-day injured list with left hip/abdominal inflammation. Infielder Hao-Yu Lee has been recalled from Triple-A Toledo to make his major league debut. He’ll wear number 50, and is batting eighth and playing third base on Friday night in Boston. […]
Thursday was a good day for the San Francisco Giants, as they finally won a game. It wasn’t as good of a day for their Minor League Baseball affiliates, though, who we have grown accustomed to winning, winning, and winning some more this year. They did a little bit of that on Thursday, but there […]
Good afternoon everyone, it’s time to dive back into the mailbag and answer some of your questions. Remember to send in your questions for our weekly call by e-mail to pinstripealleyblog [at] gmail [dot] com. Chip23 asks: Is George Lombard Jr. the Yankees’ starting third baseman by the middle of July? Lombard is certainly carving up […]
Another right-handed starter on the mound means another start for Dominic Smith in the Braves lineup for Friday night’s opener of the road series against the Phillies. Smith, who is still on a torrid start to his Braves tenure, will bat seventh and serve as the designated hitter with Philadelphia starting veteran Taijuan Walker on […]
After a disappointing .500 road trip, the Red Sox head home to host two tough opponents: the Detroit Tigers and the New York Yankees. First up are the Tigers. In their favor, the AL East is still close. Boston trails the Tampa Bay Rays by just 4.0 games. They are just 2.5 games out of […]
The Washington Nationals are a collection of one of the cuter memes in recent memory. Daylen Lile. Jorbit Vivas. Keibert Ruiz. None of these words are in the Bible? Oh… what’s that? These are the names of some of the players? Hmm, that makes a lot more sense. Well, look, getting to know the Nationals […]
The Diamondbacks come into this series as one of the hottest teams in baseball. They’ve won seven out of their last ten, have only lost one series this season. They’re on fire. Unfortunately, they are exactly the third hottest team in baseball. The other two are directly in front of them in the NL West […]
Over the past couple of weeks, the Phillies have established a pattern: They’ll play well in one game of a three-game series and make a ton of mistakes in the others. They would do well to reverse that pattern – or even better, avoid the mistake-prone games altogether – because the first place Braves are […]
Brandon Williamson was born in Fairmont, Minnesota, which is roughly a two hour drive south of Target Field in Minneapolis. He went to Martin County West High School just down I-90 in Sherburn, and to date registers as the lone player from that program to ever crack the big leagues. He’ll be on the mound […]
The Red Sox are officially “not worried” about Garrett Crochet after the worst start of his career earlier this week. “The greatest pitchers in baseball have tough days, and that’s OK,” said pitching coach Andrew Bailey. “I think we have to recognize, too, that these guys are human, and sometimes baseball is baseball. It’s a […]
As the ball flew and dunked into the left-center field grass, a sense of disbelief washed over me. What I thought was going to be another out in a long list of them became a game-winning double, as Jazz Chisholm Jr. tied the game for the Yankees and Austin Wells snuck his foot under the […]
The Arizona Cardinals offseason is going swimmingly, in the sense that they are drowning. After moving on from the head coach, quarterback, but somehow retaining the GM and defensive coordinator, they also seemingly were going to stay with the quarterback who led them to that 1-11 finish after the starter was “lost to injury”. Well, […]
