Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants are planning to hold their 2026 Wall of Fame ceremony for some of our most beloved former Giants players from the World Series championship era this season on Saturday, August 8th. Joining the Wall of Fame this year will be Forever Giants Buster Posey, Brandon Crawford, Brandon […]
If the data that’s collected in the Rockies performance lab in Scottsdale is a tool, then Brandon Stone — Colorado’s manager of performance science — is the handyman holding the toolbox. Stone has run the lab since its inception, which was the same time he joined the organization in January of 2024. Before working for […]
Introduction As part of my 6 days in Jupiter, I collected lots of observations and I’ve given to breaking them down and passing them along in manageable (ie. readable) chunks. I passed along some nuggets in game recaps if they were short and relevant to pre-, in- or post-game happenings. Two weeks ago, I published […]
Despite taking a step forward in his sophomore season, Jackson Holliday comes into the 2026 season with plenty of questions still to answer. The former No.1 pick has yet to take the step we saw from Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman in their second seasons. That being said, describing Holliday’s 2025 season as “bad” would […]
After loading up with some new talent following a disappointing, playoff-less 2005 season, the Minnesota Twins opened 2006 north of the border in Toronto and rode an early-season rollercoaster for the first few weeks. A classic Johan Santana vs Roy Halladay clash christened the new 162-game slate on April 4, and the home Jays got […]
The Red Sox should be deemed the unofficial champions of the 2026 World Baseball Classic. Garrett Whitlock absolutely stood out as a star from his time on the mound in March, though his run ended with heartbreak and fair concerns for the upcoming season. Prior to taking the ball in the ninth inning of the […]
The Iowa Hawkeyes (21-12, 10-10) have their dancing shoes again! After missing out on the NCAA Tournament in each of the last two seasons, Ben McCollum and company have them back and facing a stout matchup in the 8-seeded Clemson Tigers (24-10, 12-6). The Tigers started their conference season on an absolute tear – they […]
The Mets made another round of major league spring training roster cuts, optioning infielder Ronny Mauricio and right-handed pitcher Joey Gerber to Triple-A Syracuse and reassigning right-handed pitcher Mike Baumann and left-handed pitcher Brandon Waddell to minor league camp. None of those names are particularly surprising, as Francisco Lindor’s return to the field has put […]
As expected, Atlanta Braves outfielder Jurickson Profar will miss the entire 2026 season after his PED suspension was upheld following an appeal. The ban covers 162 games and also renders him ineligible for the postseason. Major League Baseball announced earlier this month that Profar tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs. This marks his second violation, as […]
ST. LOUIS — Mizzou will meet some old friends when it matches up with Miami (Fla.) in the NCAA Tournament. Charlton “C.Y.” Young, now an assistant coach for Jai Lucas at UM, spent three seasons as an assistant under Dennis Gates at Mizzou. Miami (Fla.) guard Tre Donaldson was teammates with Anthony Robinson II at […]
The end of spring training is filled with various forms of lists. Which teams have the best lineup/pitching staff/bullpen/roster? Who are the best veterans who failed to crack the Opening Day roster and found themselves on waivers or as free agents? Who looks primed for a breakout season? And conversely, who struggled the most, and […]
Last Devils Game On Wednesday night, the Devils defeated the Rangers by a score of 6-3 in New York. No, that’s not a typo. The Devils did defeat the Rangers 6-3 back on March 7th, and they beat them again by the same score on March 18th. That’s 12 goals, in their last 2 games […]
Less than one week remains until Phillies baseball is back. Nuf Ced. Phillies news Dylan Moore has exercised his opt-out. The Phillies must either add him to the 40-man within 48 hours (of his decision), or lose him. The Phillies have announced the new concessions items for fans to enjoy in 2026. This includes eight […]
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Spring training is winding down and the Orioles are inching toward their season-opening roster. And with the World Baseball Classic now finished, that roster is looking close to complete, as the Orioles’ WBC-participating players have rejoined the team for the final stretch of Grapefruit League games. The last to return to […]

As long as it’s appropriate and is allowed by our moderators, it’s fair game here. A few quick […]

They’re tuning up One Shining Moment already, what will Mizzou’s moment be? Since the Tournament expanded to 64 teams, Missouri has played 25 times in the first round. They’ve been the higher seed 15 times, and a double digit under dog five times. The overall record is 11-14, and while 9 seeds have winning record […]
Today is a good day. Not only is it Friday and the start of the weekend—one that may be chock-full of March Madness action—but it’s also the last one before Opening Day. Just two full workdays remain before Opening Day! Well, I suppose it’s three since for most people, the entirety of another workday will […]
The Miami Dolphins shocked their fans and the NFL world when they traded away WR Jaylen Waddle to the Denver Broncos earlier this week. Waddle was expected to be one of the cornerstone players on this team, but the compensation was too good to pass up. RB De’Von Achane’s name has been a rumored trade […]
Box Score As Opening Day approaches, the Brewers are making their final tune-ups before the start of the season. With Brandon Woodruff’s status still uncertain, he made a crucial start this evening. It ended up being the offense that dominated the game, as the Brewers defeated the Rangers 11-4. The Brewers got on the board […]
Tonight, the Colorado Rockies welcomed the San Francisco Giants to Salt River Fields. In a high-scoring game, the Rockies lost, 14-11. For more game information, click here. Let’s start with postgame comments from manager Warren Schaeffer: Starting pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano also spoke with the media following the game: And here are some game highlights for […]
What a silly, precisely Spring Training baseball game. In celebration of the Mariners’ six-run seventh inning, we’re going to play six degrees of Kevin Bacon but with a Mariners twist (duh). I bandied about six degrees of Jerry Dipoto (yawn), six degrees of Jack Zduriencik (grim and boring) and six degrees of Alex Mayer (compelling, […]
Game 1 The White Sox split their doubleheader on Thursday, and in Game 1, the Good Guys did just enough to walk away with a 4-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Despite a bit of an early wobble and a whole lot of frustration against a familiar face, they held on for the W. Davis […]
Record: 12-13-1. Change on 2025: -1. 5-inning Record: 9-15-2. The Diamondbacks’ five-game unbeaten streak came to an end tonight at Camelback Ranch. But it wasn’t without merit. In particular, an excellent outing by starting pitcher Michael Soroka, who was almost untouchable in his first start back from the World Baseball Classic. He went five scoreless […]
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: As we wrote yesterday afternoon, the Yankees made the “difficult decision” to option top pitching prospect Carlos Lagrange. The 22-year-old fireballer has been the standout pitcher across all of spring training, posting a 0.66 ERA in 13.2 innings with 13 strikeouts thanks to a fastball that averages triple digits and has […]
