The Cubs began their series against the Reds on a losing note Friday night with a shutout defeat.

The Mariners lost 7-2 to the Rays on Friday. Usually, I take notes when I recap games. Not today. I watched from the corner of my eye, game on mute, doing other things. Frankly, I didn’t think the Mariners were going to win. I hate when people say that, too. But I really didn’t think […]
Braves start their final pre-All Star Break series.
Well, it wouldn’t be a Braves game in St. Louis without a rain delay, now would it? It seems like this is a regular occasion whenever these two teams lock horns in baseball battle — especially whenever the games take place in the shadow of the Arch. Anyways, the game is now stuck in the […]
When Jacob Gonzalez was removed from his game at Triple-A Charlotte on Friday — in a rather brusque manner, pulled off the field in the middle of a seven-run third inning for the Nashville Sounds — it seemed clear that a trade was in the offing. Two hours later, word came through that the White […]
For the first time since April 4, the 24-year-old top pitching prospect returned to the Triple-A mound on Friday night.
Four months, two brawls. San Francisco has witnessed its share of fan altercations this season, and another unfolded on July 9. After suffering a crushing loss against the Toronto Blue Jays, the San Francisco Giants bounced back with an 8-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies in the series opener. But what should have been a […] The post Cops Intervene After Fans Throw Punches in Wild Brawl During Giants-Rockies Game appeared first on EssentiallySports .
You can read the dek, can’t you? If you can’t, well, an unfortunate series of events led to the Twins falling behind, and they just didn’t get the hits you’d hope for later. Inning-by-inning notes: 1: A scoreless first inning, but 24 pitches for Zebulon Matthews. He averages just a tick above six innings pitched […]
In an unexpected move Friday night, the Chicago White Sox agreed to a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates just one day before the MLB Draft.According to ESPN’s Jeff Passan, the White Sox are sending 2023 first-round pick Jacob Gonzalez and reliever Brandon Eisert to the Pirates in exchange for the No. 34 overall compensatory pick […] The post TRADE: MLB World Reacts to White Sox Trading Former First-Round Pick to Pirates appeared first on HEAVY .
The Red Sox didn’t arrive at Citi Field until 5:05 PM for a 7:15 scheduled first pitch—close enough to the wire that the game had to be pushed back to 7:50. Somehow that’s going to end up as a positive for this team? Because once Sonny Gray settled in and Anthony Siegler’s ball clanked off […]
The Mets fell to the Red Sox 6-2 in the opener of this weekend series at Citi Field. The game was close for much of the evening, but despite racking up ten hits, the Mets failed to string any hits together and never led in the game. Despite the Red Sox being the more sleep […]
Somehow, an incredible offseason for Jay Johnson and the Tigers just got even better. With many of the belief that Lucas Nawrocki was Major League bound and a pipedream for LSU, he dropped massive news less than 24 hours before the draft kicks off. Nawrocki is highly ranked by all publications. As far as draft […]
With the White Sox coming into this game on a three-game losing streak and the Athletics coming to town, it was crucial to end the first half on a high note. Chicago’s bats had been silent and their pitching had been problematic for quite some time but that was all remedied against the Athletics. In […]
The Texas Rangers scored seven runs while the Houston Astros scored three runs. Two first inning runs, a 3-0 lead into the sixth inning, and Cal Quantrill of all people cruising through six strong innings. All of those positives made it seem like the Rangers were in for an easy evening. Nothing is coming easy […]

Coming into Friday Night, the Astros needed just two wins to capture their 10th consecutive Silver Boot Series from the Rangers. They still need two wins. Rangers 7 Astros 3. On this night, Wyatt Langford would be the hero, albeit late. In the 8th, Langford would deposit the second pitch offered […]
J.J. Watt’s NFL career officially ended with the Arizona Cardinals in 2022. Before that, he had spent ten seasons with the Houston Texans in the AFC. But there was one unlikely scenario that nearly changed the defensive end’s retirement plans.

Nashville Sounds 11, Charlotte Knights 9Everything that went wrong with the Knights’ loss to the Sounds can be traced back to Jacob Gonzalez’s exit in the third inning. Despite firing an RBI double off in the first to help give Charlotte a 2-1 boost early, he was pulled during the game, as the Sounds were […]
Another injury setback brings up a harsh epiphany about Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani.
The 41-52 Athletics took on the 47-45 Chicago White Sox at Rate Field in Chicago today. While the A’s are struggling, the Southsiders are amid the most dramatic turn-around from last season.

There was certainly relief when Shohei Ohtani finally returned to full-time pitching this season after undergoing his second Tommy John surgery in 2023. However, that relief didn’t last long. At 32, he has encountered several minor setbacks, including a hitting slump, left knee inflammation, and arm tightness, as he works his way back to being […] The post “Not Going to Change Anything” – Dodgers Manager Breaks Silence on Shohei Ohtani After All-Star Game Decision appeared first on Essential...
Sometimes, one small play in a game ends up ruining it. When Adley Rutschman didn’t challenge a pitch in the eighth inning that was called a ball, I thought that was the small ruining play. The batter went on to homer. The game was tied, and I assumed the Orioles would soon fall behind. But […]
The Dodgers (61-33) take on the D-backs (46-47) at Dodger Stadium Friday night for a NL West clash. Shohei Ohtani was scratched from his start due to continued left knee irritation. Kyle Hurt will open a bullpen game for the Dodgers in the series opener. Eduardo Rodriguez (7-3, 2.25 ERA, 1.16 WHIP) goes for the […]
