San Diego Padres starter Griffin Canning walked the bases loaded and eventually walked in the first run of the game in the first inning against the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field on Thursday. Canning allowed three runs in the first and three more in the second before he was taken out of the game […]
The Arizona Cardinals knew that, despite being one of the fourth-place finishers in last year’s regular season, their schedule this year wasn’t going to be an easy one. In fact, it is the third most difficult based on the 2025 win-loss records of their upcoming opponents. Part of the issue is the fact that three […]
No. 15 Ole Miss lost a back and forth game with the No. 18 Alabama Crimson Tide on Thursday in a 5-4 decision in the first game of the final regular season SEC series. The Rebels (35-19, 14-14 SEC) scored first with a solo dinger in the first inning by Dom Decker, but the Tide […]
Only the Tulsa Drillers lost as the Loons and Tower Buzzers executed comeback wins, and the Comets outlasted the Isotopes in a shootout. Player of the day At twenty-six years of age, catcher Eliezer Alfonso already has vast experience in the minors, and early on in 2026, he’s putting up the best numbers he has […]
Before last season, he wasn't even on our radar for a Season Preview. Now, he might be a mainstay on the Rangers blueline.
The Cubs are still having trouble scoring runs, as you likely saw in the team’s 2-0 win over the Braves Thursday evening in Atlanta. But with Ben Brown’s second straight excellent start and solid work from the bullpen, two runs was enough to win the game and end the Cubs’ four-game losing streak. The Cubs […]
Happy Friday, everyone! Well, it’s been a dismal week to be a Tigers fan, that’s for sure. They were swept by the Mets, which is the first time all season the Mets have swept anyone. But they’re home again, they’re facing the Blue Jays this weekend, and hopefully they have some wins ahead. If we […]
Back on Wednesday, with evening showers threatening to spoil the Orioles’ series finale against the Yankees, the mounting clouds parted, and out from the mound shone a sliver of light: Kyle Bradish and his six scoreless innings. I jest, but Bradish had started this season with an ERA above five in his first seven starts, […]
It’s Rivalry Weekend or whatever — 15 matchups that I guess link two teams that are supposed to be rivals together. Sometimes, this is inherently fun, like when the teams in question are basically co-located and it’s a battle-for-the-jurisdiction of sorts (Mets-Yankees, Cubs-White Sox, and I guess even Angels-Dodgers, sorta). Sometimes, it’s a bit weirder, […]
Good morning, LSB. The Rangers were off yesterday. Jeff Wilson calls the Rangers walk-off win over Arizona the kind that could spark their otherwise so-so season. Evan Grant’s Rangers stock report focuses on Jacob deGrom heating up and the streaky Jake Burger There isn’t much else out there besides prospect list fun. Keith Law released […]
Behind a championship performance in the women’s javelin and three new program records, Missouri opened the SEC Outdoor Championships with a strong showing Thursday, May 14, in Auburn, Ala. Women’s Javelin Throw Remarks Valentina Barrios Bornacelli claimed the women’s javelin title with a first place throw of 58.31 meters. Her remarkable result was a new […]
Rivalry Weekend begins tonight. Some of the matchups are obvious: you needn’t ask why the Cubs and White Sox have beef with each other (not Italian beef. Disliking each other, they would not likely share a meal of that delicious Chicago specialty). Some are not: Detroit and Toronto may be close to each other, but […]

7 Ducks named to 2026 NFCA All-Mountain Region 1st and 2nd Team Ducks drop game 1 to USC 2027 5* EDGE KJ Green sets official visit to Oregon Highlight of the Day: Game Tying Home Run for Lauaki
The Yankees have been sputtering a bit of late, losing five of their last six games while also dealing with injuries, including one to Max Fried that the extent of is not known yet. However, it almost always could be worse, and we just need to look at this weekend’s opponent for an example of […]
Hickory starter Aidan Deakins allowed two runs in 5.2 IP, striking out 5. Louis Marinaro struck out two in 2.1 scoreless innings. Yolfran Castillo was 2 for 5 with a homer and a sotlen base. Dewar Tovar was 2 for 4. Hector Osorio homered. Paulino Santana had a hit. Hickory box score J’Briell Easley started […]
There are lofty expectations for anyone that gets signed to a contract with an annual average value of $60 million. In the case of Kyle Tucker, it appeared as though the expectations were too tough to reach throughout the beginning of the season. Tucker was performing at a below league-average rate over his first 33 […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
Triple-A:Charlotte Knights (White Sox) 4 Norfolk Tides 1 Trey Gibson started and limited Charlotte to one run over four innings. After a brief stint in the Orioles bullpen, the organization limited Gibson to 65 pitches. He threw 41 strikes. The 23-year-old allowed four hits, three walks, and struck out five. Trace Bright piggybacked Gibson and […]
I’ll be the first to admit that I was excited about the Rockies signing Michael Lorenzen this offseason. With the new front office being high on him and the 34-year-old’s affinity for problem-solving and a seven-pitch mix, I bought into the hype. I even predicted Lorenzen, who signed a one-year deal worth $8 million in […]
One of the bright spots of the Minnesota Twins’ shaky start to the 2026 season has been the play of Ryan Jeffers. Whether offensively (.542 SLG, .948 OPS) or in his wizardry of the new ABS challenge system, Jeffers is perhaps the most reliable offensive contributor not hailing from Baxley, GA. If one were building […]
Happy Friday, everyone! Hopefully, it’s been a good week, and you’re set to enjoy your weekend. To ease you into the final day of the week, we’ve got an assortment of baseball news for you to enjoy. We’re taking a look at the early discussions regarding the CBA and a potential salary cap, the new […]
The Red Sox are starting to pitch like the rotation they were built to be over the offseason. That’s even with Garrett Crochet still on the shelf as he strengthens his way back from left shoulder inflammation. A big part of better turns through the rotation lately comes from a solid run of starts from […]
Meet the Mets A.J. Ewing hit his first major league home run, Nolan McLean got through seven innings, and the Mets hit a total of five home runs as they completed a sweep of the Tigers yesterday at Citi Field. Choose your recap: Amazin’ Avenue, Faith and Fear in Flushing, MLB.com, New York Daily News, […]
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants are on the “road” this weekend (I use that word very loosely, because they will be in Sacramento) so I think it’s time for another temp-check to see how we’re feeling about the team right now. Every time I have to take time off during the season, […]
