Casey Mize returned in fine form in this one, but the Detroit Tigers remain hamstrung offensively. The Toronto Blue Jays are having similar issues, but they pulled this one out in the tenth against Tyler Holton, and Louis Varland closed out the Tigers to even the series at a game apiece on Saturday afternoon. Saturday’s […]
Go Rays!

Most of Birdland […]
The Mets officially placed starter Clay Holmes on the 15-day IL after suffering a fractured fibula in last night’s game against the Yankees.

It was a pretty standard night for the San Diego Padres. Starter Randy Vásquez pitched six shutout innings (and probably could have gone deeper), the high-leverage relievers covered the seventh and eighth innings before Mason Miller closed out the game for his MLB-leading 14th save. All signs pointed to a 2-0 win for the Friars. […]

It’s hard to read too much into all of two games, but the Dodgers have scored 11 runs over their last two games, more than any three-game stretch of the previous six games. They’ve scored four, five, and six runs over the last three games, and you don’t need Disco Stu to see this is […]

Last night was a rather unhappy affair, until suddenly it wasn’t. Let’s hope the Phillies pick up where they left off last night, and keep it rolling through the weekend. Cristopher Sánchez will take the mound for the visitors, as he continues a typically excellent season (4-2, 2.11 ERA). His cross-state counterpart is Bubba Chandler, […]
1900 White Sox player-manager Dick Padden was clubbed over the head with a bat during a fight in the third inning at Detroit. The fracas started with the White Sox up, 4-2, after an uncalled balk by Chicago pitcher Chauncey Fisher that was then reversed under protest by the Tigers, scoring a run for Detroit. […]
Height is a curious thing. Sure, all else being equal, it’s better to be taller if you’re a baseball player, but particularly for position players, this maxim ceases to apply after a certain point. More body mass means it’s harder to have precise control over your movement. Longer levers usually lead to more strikeouts. It’s […]
There’s an alternate universe in which the Colorado Rockies had a very different Friday evening. The first inning cost the Rockies the game last night. They almost escaped a tumultuous start, but instead the Arizona Diamondbacks successfully challenged the potential third out, loaded the bases, and piled six runs on Kyle Freeland to take the […]
The Bryce Elder saga continues. At least it’s a happier one than in years past… though what about the MLB-best Braves isn’t, at this point? Elder got things started on the right foot this year with an altered pitch mix and augmented slider, with three good outings in his first four tries. His collective line […]
The Cubs drew six walks in Friday’s 10-5 win over the White Sox. That’s the 18th time this year, in 45 games (or 40 percent of games) that the Cubs have drawn at least six walks. The season high is 10, in a 7-4 win over the Phillies April 21. If you’re thinking that’s a […]

A's acquire minor league infielder Alika Williams from Pirates for minor league right-handed pitcher Kyle Robinson. Williams was selected from Triple-A Las Vegas today and infielder Michael Stefanic was designated for assignment to clear space on 26- and 40-man roster. — LVSportsBiz.co...
There had been speculation for weeks that the NFL was going to select the Chicago Bears as the Seattle Seahawks’ opponent for the NFL Kickoff game to open the 2026 season. Heck, even Michael Wilbon was talking about it on the radio like it was a done deal. When the NFL announced that it would, […]
The Royals are now in the midst of their second losing streak of at least five games. They only have a single five-game winning streak to counter them. They could start another one of those today, but it’s hard to believe it while they’re losing. Noah Cameron was surprisingly good for the Royals last year. […]
The I-70 series continues Saturday as it’s game 2 of the St. Louis Cardinals playing host for the Kansas City Royals. Kyle Leahy (4-3, 4.31 PCL, 32 SO) will start the Saturday afternoon affair for the Cardinals while Noah Cameron (2-2, 5.55 PCL, 32 SO) will begin the game for the Royals. First pitch is scheduled for 1:15pm at […]
The Pittsburgh Pirates are 24-21 to start the season and everyone thought the pitching would be the true calling card for the Buccos, but it has been the offense stealing the show. The Pirates offense is averaging five runs per game so far. That would be their highest runs per game since 1936 where they […]
If you thought the mood around Liverpool couldn’t get any more toxic following Friday night’s dismal 4-2 defeat at Aston Villa that saw yet another disinterested and disorganized performance from Arne Slot’s struggling Reds in the penultimate match of a 2025-26 season, well, strap yourselves in. That’s because after a week of buzz and whisper […]
With the Dodgers on a three-city road trip to Anaheim, San Diego, and Milwaukee, here are a few leftover tidbits from the last homestand at Dodger Stadium. Toast of the town First, I spoke with reliever Will Klein, who has kept his late-season surge and World Series heroics going in the early part of the […]
