They’ll be hopiong left-hander Ben Jacobs out of Arizona State will be the next. The Tigers selected the 6’1” 195 pound southpaw in the […]

Yesterday Missouri beat Mississippi State to move to 15-7 overall, and 5-4 in the SEC. 5-4 is good for 9th in the league. The Tigers are currently 61st in KenPom.com, which is the 12th best mark in the league. None of these are standout rankings, but Mizzou at least has two of the better wins […]

I like Kristian Campbell and want him to succeed. But I am totally convinced that, if he does, it won’t be at second base. Is it harsh to say that he was arguably the worst defensive middle infielder I’d ever seen last season? Maybe I’m still haunted by the routine double play that he flubbed […]

Who is he and where did he come from? He’s Jake Bennett, the former Oklahoma Sooner and 2022 second-round draft pick who the Red Sox acquired for Luis Perales earlier in the offseason. This is curious because Perales had just returned from a 2024 UCL tear and still is just 22 years old, but the […]

Sorry about the lack of content the last couple of days. It has been busy. It should ease off soon. Mason Fluharty is a 24-year-old left-handed pitcher. The Jays picked him in the fifth round of the 2022 draft. He was #40 on our 40-man prospect list in 2022. Matt said: Listed at 6’2” and […]

Before you immediately run to the comments and simply put “YES”, hear me out. The St. Louis Cardinals have spent the entire offseason actually committing to the (re)build, but have done so by trading away high-priced and/or underperforming veterans and restocking the minor league pitching staff. Those deals have created opportunities around the diamond, except […]

The NFL’s Pro Bowl is on Tuesday. Or I should say the NFL Pro Bowl Games. Pro Bowl games used to be full contact affairs. Then they slowly started removing some of the contact elements for injury concerns. It started to resemble non-contact football, especially across the line of scrimmage. So they decided to replace […]

The Phillies will be a contender this year. They have assembled a talented roster that has the ability to go on a run that would ultimately lead them to lifting a trophy when the season ends. This very fact can sometimes offend people who might believe otherwise. Does the team have some holes? Sure. Every […]

Are the Arizona Cardinals looking to grab a young QB in this year’s NFL draft? Maybe the question should be, which young quarterback are they drafting? Maybe the best option is for the Cardinals to select a prospect, then let him sit for a year and develop. QB Jacoby Brissett has one more year on […]

1914 In a story told in great detail in 2014 on site, the White Sox and New York Giants played an exhibition game in Cairo, Egypt. This stop on the 56-game World Tour ended in a 3-3 deadlock after 10 innings. You can’t blame the players for failing to find a victor, given the arduous […]
