It will be a good chance for the boys to show what they have. Hopefully they can secure yet another road series win. The […]
When Mike LaFleur was being interviewed for the head coaching vacancy with the Arizona Cardinals, the offensive-minded coach first took a look at the quarterback situation. He saw a QB room of two veteran QBs with Kyler Murray and Jacoby Brissett. After LaFleur took the helm of the team, it was decided to let Murray […]

The San Diego Padres really needed a win. They’d take it any way that they could get it, eking out a 4-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals after failing to score a single run in 21 consecutive innings until Ty France’s fifth inning home run. It was all the runs that they would need, […]
The road back from injury has reached its final stop for Carlos Rodón, who was activated this morning by the Yankees on the day of his season debut against the Milwaukee Brewers, adding talent to an already stacked rotation. To make room for Rodón’s addition to the MLB roster, the Yankees will send down right-hander […]
Bobby Cox passed away yesterday, just a few days short of his 85th birthday. Cox became our third manager after Roy Hartsfield and Bobby Mattick.

From clutch overtime heroes to unexpected breakouts, ex-Rangers are making noise where it matters most.
The Braves are trying to win it today, not just for the series. They gotta do it #ForTheMoms. I’d had a vague feeling that the Braves didn’t have a great track record on Mother’s Day, not based on any specific memories. However, my recency bias was not completely unfounded: it turns out Atlanta have lost […]

It’s a real credit to how well this team has played over the first quarter of the season to see how rarely they’ve come up empty. But on Saturday night in Texas, that’s exactly what happened. Not only was this just the 13th time they’ve lost this year, but it was one of an even […]
Good morning, folks… The Texas Rangers beat the Chicago Cubs last night by a score of 6-0.

What started out as a professional tryout quickly turned into Conor Sheary becoming a mainstay in the lineup. But how did the journeyman forward perform?
For the second day in a row, the Yankees played a somewhat frustrating game in Milwaukee. They did better offensively on Saturday, but the three runs didn’t end up being enough, as the Brewers rallied twice before walking it off in the 10th inning. With the Yankees facing a speed bump after a hot run […]
The San Diego Padres faced a catching void after Luis Campusano suffered a broken toe. The front office sidestepped pressure from the Friar Faithful to promote Ethan Salas to the majors by calling up Rodolfo Duran instead.
