This was as comfortable and controlled a defensive performance as the Philadelphia Eagles have produced all season. It was a complete reversal of the Week 6 meeting. The New York Giants were never really in this game. Once Cam Skattebo left injured, they lost the one player who gave their offense any physical edge, and […]

Louisville got things going in the second quarter with some big plays on offense and a few stops on defense. The Cards finished the half by extending the lead with the hopes of putting the game away early in the second half. This is a complete bust by the defense. Multiple players end up not […]

You have to like it when a plan comes together. The Jays picked up Shane Bieber hoping that he would be a piece of the rotation if we make it to the playoffs. Now he’s made four playoff starts. The first one wasn’t good, but, since then two wins, and a 3.00 ERA. Last night […]

The World Series is tied two games apiece, and with Game Five tonight, we know that this thing is going back to Toronto for at least one game on Friday. So the season is going to end either Friday night or Saturday night, and immediately thereafter: the Major League Baseball offseason begins. The first thing that happens at that moment? Every player eligible for free agency becomes a free agent. For that reason, I figured it was a good time to remind folks of the many, many free agen...

It was the Jac-est of times, it was the Caglianonest of times. What did we expect to happen? The Royals lucked—yes, lucked—into drafting Jac Caglianone with the sixth overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft. He’d been a star for the Florida Gators, and in a draft with no clear top pick, there was no […]

We’ve talked for years about how Ronny Mauricio is a flawed player. Blessed with impressive bat speed and passable contact ability, his lack of approach and injury-driven tumble down the defensive spectrum left him on the fringes of true prospectdom.
