Continuing our series from last week, let’s take a look at who showed up the most last week and who stands to gain this week. Who’s Hot Ethan Bagwell – 7IP 7H 3ER 0BB 5K Building off of a great season debut, Ethan Bagwell continued his good work – this time against the Delmarva Shorebirds. […]
The Royals and Tigers were projected by many models to be the top two teams in the division, but both have stumbled out of the game to a sub-.500 record. The Tigers perhaps hit rock bottom after suffering a four-game sweep at the hands of the Twins, but righted the ship last weekend with a […]
Which teams had the most 1-run games? Frequent 1-Run Games. In games through 8 April, the Rockies and the Diamondbacks were tied for the most 1-run games in the Majors. On 10 April, the changed standings showed the Diamondbacks in the lead with seven 1-run games, the Mariners in second place with six 1-run games, […]
Colorado Rockies top prospect Ethan Holliday (No. 2 PuRP) has started his first full season of professional baseball with the Low-A Fresno Grizzlies. Currently, the 19-year-old short stop is slashing .200/.360/.560 in 20 at-bats. Granted, it’s early in the season, and we don’t yet have meaningful data. This comes off a 2025 season where after […]
He’s back! And just in time, yesterday was not the opener the Atlanta Braves were looking for to start this homestead against the Miami Marlins. The early pulling of Grant Holmes initially raised concerns until Walt Weiss’ reasoning behind his decision was later explained. Let’s look at these pitching matchups to gear up for game […]
Most MLB teams, including the Cubs, have gone to all-digital ticketing. You can get a paper Cubs ticket… sometimes… depending on the circumstances. This began after the pandemic shut ballparks to fans in 2020. The last year the Cubs issued paper season tickets to fans was 2019, and Wrigley Field — plus most other MLB […]
Boston Red Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet is the true definition of an ace: dependable, dominant, and downright terrifying to step into the box against. So… what the hell is going on? Crochet has been unusually shaky to kickstart the season, allowing nearly as many runs (18) as strikeouts recorded (22) — with those aggressively poor […]
The hits just keep coming for the Brewers, and not in a good way. Christian Yelich, who left Sunday’s game early with a hamstring issue, has landed on the injured list, which was not unexpected after manager Pat Murphy’s comments after the game. He’s been diagnosed with an adductor strain. Outfielder Greg Jones, who has […]
On April 14, 1910, William Howard Taft, the 27th President of the United States, made history, as he became the first US President to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. While attending Opening Day alongside his wife, Nellie, and Vice President James S. Sherman, the President threw the ball from the stands to Washington Senators […]
Talkin' Gaysball: A section bursting with barechested guys might already be the highlight of the Rockies season. Plus City Connect tops and bottoms! The post Colorado Rockies harness the power of shirtless dudes to get a rare sweep appeared first on Outsports .
Afforded the third overall pick in last year’s draft, the Seattle Mariners entered draft day with long odds of selecting Kade Anderson. The player many considered the best of the 2025 talent pool, Anderson was undoubtedly the best pitcher in college baseball last year and dominated opposing hitters all season long. In one of the […]
Alycia Baumgardner is set to return this Friday, April 17, 2026, to defend her three super featherweight titles against Bo Mi Re Shin in the main event of MVP’s second ESPN card, MVW-02. We’ll have live coverage and updates this Friday night, so make sure you come back to Bad Left Hook for that, and […]
The latest news on the Houston Astros and from around MLB: Carlos Correa is not making excuses for a 1-9 road trip: Colton Gordon, recently recalled from Triple-A, will get the start tonight against Colorado: Astros top prospect Kevin Alvarez has already moved into the Top 100: Ten games, nine losses, five injuries (Pena, Imai, […]
The San Francisco Giants have finally run into a team they’re hitting better than here through the season’s first couple of weeks. If you ignore the Yankees series, the Giants are actually around a league average offense (96 wRC+) in their last 13 games. Meanwhile, the Reds are the worst in the National League (76 […]
The San Francisco Giants have, somewhat unconventionally, only used 27 players this year, which means they’ve only made one move involving the Major League roster. That move was forced on them, after reliever José Buttó was placed on the Injured List, and replaced by Blade Tidwell. It’s the time of the year where teams start […]
There's some serious competition for the sports fans' dollars in Seattle these days. Between the Seahawks, the Mariners, and the 'coming soon' rebirth of the SuperSonics, the Seattle Kraken are quickly losing relevance. The team will miss the playoffs for the third straight season. Major changes are needed. In fact, a complete overhaul, writes Matt Calkin in the Seattle Times. The fervor surrounding this franchise has dwindled down to a flicker over the past three years. .. ...
Justin Wrobleski had the best start of the Dodgers season to date and the best outing of his career in Monday night’s win over the New York Mets. Wrobleski was so efficient in his eight scoreless innings that some of the talk afterwards was about why he didn’t get a chance to finish the game. […]
It was great to see the Mariners finally play up to their potential for an entire weekend. That it came at the expense of the Astros makes it all the more sweet. Between the odd fourth game against Houston on Monday, the quick three-game road trip to San Diego in the middle of this week, […]
Managers are hired to be fired. This is not news to anyone who has watched baseball for a significant period of time. It is exceedingly rare for a baseball manager to ever retire on his own terms. Heck, even some recent Hall of Fame-caliber managers who retired found themselves managing other teams in relatively short […]
What a good offseason the Arizona Cardinals have had this year. At season’s end, the offensive line was viewed as a dumpster fire. Both guard spots had huge issues, along with OT Kelvin Beachum. So, GM Monti Ossenfort rolled up his sleeves, opened the checkbook, and signed some seasoned veterans. He brought in the best […]

Reminder: I’m on vacation all this week and will be a little briefer than usual this week. Thanks for your patience. At least once in every season, a baseball fan’s faith will be tested. Losing nine of 16 games is not particularly a sky-is-falling stretch. The easiest example that hits close to home is the […]
The Royals are one-tenth of the way through the season — and the early trends are starting to matter. In this episode of the Royals Rundown Podcast, hosts Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco take a focused look at the Kansas City Royals’ performance so far, breaking down lineup struggles, bullpen decisions, and where the team […]
The 2000 New York Yankees were not a team of destiny like in 1998, or the well-oiled machine that dropped but a single playoff game en route to a title in 1999. They were a squad that needed help. Jockeying for position with the Red Sox and Blue Jays in a crowded AL East, the […]
