Dodgers have happy flight home after offensive explosion and good news about Tyler Glasnow
The Los Angeles Dodgers finished their road trip at .500, and are exhaling in a multitude of ways. The most immediate concern was for their starting pitcher, Tyler Glasnow, who exited Wednesday’s matinee game against the Houston Astros just after taking the mound to warm up for the second inning. Initial news was that it […]
After historic sweep, the Ohio State baseball hype is real
When, amid a seven-game win streak, the Buckeye baseball team surpassed last season’s win total before the end of March, hope started to grow that this team was finally finding its identity and rhythm. Still, it hadn’t yet become clear whether head coach Justin Haire’s plans to turn things around in Columbus were starting to […]
Bantering Points: 5/7/26
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
Which opposing pitcher is the greatest Yankee Killer?
A few weeks ago upon the news of Angels franchise icon Garret Anderson passing away, John wrote a tribute to him, saluting him as one of the great Yankee Killers of recent vintage. Although David Ortiz was far more famous, Yankees pitchers were also quite flummoxed by having to pitch to Garret. Now today, we’re […]
Orioles minor league recap 5/7: Chesapeake erupts for 19 runs, hits five homers
Triple-A: Gwinnett Stripers (Braves) 8, Norfolk Tides 6 Norfolk’s offense did some good things in the losing effort. José Barrero hit two home runs, bringing his season total to six. Creed Willems added a two-run shot, which was also his sixth round-tripper of the year. The only other RBI came from Christian Encarnacion-Strand, who went […]
Thursday BP: Seventh day of Mays-mas
Good morning, baseball fans! We are in the middle of a new feature for May that I’m calling the “12 Days of Mays-mas” because I won’t be around for this week, and I want to leave you guys with some fun things to watch while I’m gone. For the seventh day of Mays-mas, I thought […]
The weird trade the St. Louis Cardinals made to net potential franchise shortstop
The Cardinals had found their replacement for Ozzie Smith, but you don’t actually want to be the guy who replaces the legend. You want to be the guy after that. Poor Royce Clayton, who had to follow his childhood idol, and was perfectly cromulent, but he wasn’t Ozzie Smith. Targeted for free agency and with […]
Are long relievers the key to surviving Coors?
The slow decline in the prominence of the starting pitcher in baseball has been in full swing for decades. In the place of hurlers that would routinely throw every pitch of a game when called upon has come an increasingly large carousel of single-inning (or less) relievers. The prevailing strategy throughout the league can be […]
Thursday Flakes: Softball in B1G Tourney, Cubs Win Again and More
I’ve been a lifelong Cubs fan, so to see them win their 13th straight at Wrigley is awesome. If you want them to lose at home, I have an idea…send me. I’ve been to the friendly confines 7 times and yet to see them win. I’ve seen them lose to the Astros, Reds, Giants (x2), […]
Chicago Cubs news and notes — Kerry Wood, Boyd, Kelly
Today’s Reflections I was just wrapping up Cub Tracks for you good folks, checking for mistakes and broken links, giving the news feed one last refresh— I (and probably a lot of Cub fans) feel like they are standing on the precipice of either the second World Series appearance in a decade (the Dodgers just […]
The Red Sox run prevention strategy just might pay off
At the end of last week, Thomas Nestico made the following post and caught many Red Sox fans off guard: Yes, that’s the Boston Red Sox up near the top of the teams leaderboard in Defensive Runs Saved, and you know what, I don’t think it’s a fluke. Up until the last handful of days, […]
What is the best rotation for the Red Sox?
With Sonny Gray returning to the rotation last night and Ranger Suarez (hopefully?) avoiding a trip to the IL, it’s time to stop and reassess what’s the best version of the Red Sox rotation going forward. Garrett Crochet last pitched on April 25th and would be eligible to come off the IL as soon as […]
NHL Rumors: Sharks Linked to Rangers Defenseman
The San Jose Sharks' top objective of the offseason should be to improve their defensive group. They need to make multiple upgrades to it, and they are also entering the summer with many pending unrestricted free agent defensemen. One player who the Sharks certainly could kick tires on this offseason is New York Rangers defenseman Braden Schneider. The Sharks were among the teams connected to Schneider leading up to the deadline, and it would make sense if they targeted him again. It is ...
The Daily Mauling: 5/7/26
Kansas Jayhawks News 247 takes you through what the advanced metrics say about KU’s basketball roster as it stands now The Topeka Capitol-Journal says a Big 12 title is within reach for Kansas baseball While the baseball team is making more headlines, KU’s softball team will be the 5 seed in the Big 12 Tournament […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Tom Zachary
A two-time World Series champion, “Old Tom” Zachary spent parts of three seasons in New York. In addition to playing for the Yankees, Zachary is tied to Yankees lore as the pitcher who gave up No. 60 to George Herman Ruth back in 1927. Being tied to the Babe is usually enough to keep you […]
Mets Daily Prospect Report, 5/7/26: Jack Wenninger, resume builder
Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (19-15) SYRACUSE 3, ROCHESTER 1 (BOX) A rather ho-hum win, the Mets scored a run in each of the first three innings to put them out in front quickly. Ryan Clifford hit a monster of a solo home run in the first, registering at 112.6 mph and 404 ft., Hayden Senger doubled […]
Orioles news: Marlins series shows outline of possible rebound
Hello, friends. Here’s a hot take: It’s a lot more fun when the Orioles win than when they lose. We thankfully got another reminder of the fun of winning last night as the team kept piling on runs against the Marlins, eventually winning 7-4 to guarantee a win in the three-game set. Check out Alex […]
Brewers chose perfect time for CC Sabathia’s induction into Wall of Honor
The Brewers had announced over the winter that they would be inducting both CC Sabathia and Dave Parker into the team’s Wall of Honor outside American Family Field. Both had been inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame the previous year. Both Parker and Sabathia are worthy inductees for the Brewers Wall of Honor […]
Phillies News: Cristopher Sánchez, Bryson Stott, Carlos Correa
Edmundo Sosa is such a fascinating ballplayer. He was in swing at everything mode in the eighth inning, but he managed to foul off enough pitches well outside of the zone until he got one to hit and delivered the go ahead, two-run single. And because of it, the Phillies are now 1-10 in games […]
Bryce Rainer hits first Whitecaps homer while Ben Jacobs dominates again
Toledo Mud Hens 4, Memphis Redbirds 3 (Gm1)(box) (F/8) Gage Workman’s eighth inning single walked Game 1 off for the Mud Hens as the first of a doubleheader after Tuesday night’s rainout. Right-hander Dylan File was knocked around a bit, but hung in there to toss 5 1/3 innings of three-run ball while striking out […]
Mets hit early and often in third win in a row
The Mets did not let the absurdly cold conditions impede them tonight during their 10-5 win against the Rockies. Freddy Peralta and Michael Lorenzen faced off for the second time in two weeks but, unlike their first meeting, this time the Mets’ bats were wide awake. Juan Soto started things off quickly with his first career […]

Bryan Reynolds joins elite Pirates company
The Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks last night 1-0 in a Paul Skenes gem, but it was Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds that made the history. Reynolds went-2-for-4 in the game, giving him 1,000 hits for his career. It also makes him just the fifth Bucco to go for 1,000 hits, 200 doubles and 140 […]
Yankees news: Ryan Weathers scratched from Thursday start
SNY | Phillip Martinez: Some news broke late last night, with the Yankees scratching Ryan Weathers from this scheduled start this afternoon. Weathers was apparently dealing with a nasty stomach virus. “I pitched, then went home and pretty much threw my guts out for several hours,” the starter said. “I thought I just had food […]
