Meet the Mets The Mets topped the defending American League Champion Blue Jays 4-3 to earn their second spring win. Newcomer Tobias Myers earned the win in his first outing with the club after pitching 2 1/3 scoreless innings. Vidal Bruján did leave the game with an injury after stealing second base. Clay Holmes, who […]
On Monday, the it was reported that the Braves could be joining with a few other pro teams in the Southeast on a new RSN for the games in 2026 and perhaps beyond. Well moments ago, the Braves officially announced the new home for their games this season, BravesVision: Obviously, there will be more to […]
Alex Vesia pitched a scoreless inning on Monday against the Seattle Mariners at Camelback Ranch, which in itself wasn’t all that irregular. After all, the left-hander has been a staple in the Dodgers bullpen for four years, including 142 scoreless appearances lasting at least one inning last season during that time, most on the Dodgers. […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
On January 2, 2020, Jeff Passan posted on Twitter a list of twelve members of the Chicago White Sox who were under team control for multiple seasons, saying, “If everything falls right, this has a chance to be a sustained run for the Chicago White Sox.” At the time, this was a normal, rather uncontroversial […]
Results In July of 2004, the SP trio of Brad Radke, Johan Santana, & Kyle Lohse collaborated on a feat that now seems impossible 22 years removed: Three consecutive complete game shutouts! For comparison, the Twins had 3 CG SHO’s from 2018-2025 (Jose Berrios, Joe Ryan, & Pablo Lopez). The newbie: what we need is […]
Today, let’s put our optimist hats on. It’s spring training, after all — the possibilities seem endless! I’m going to go player-by-player through the position players likely to be on the major league team this season (with a few bonuses at the end) and think about what a season looks like for them if everything […]
Good morning baseball fans! As we approach the beginning of the season, we’re going to be doing some questions for y’all about your thoughts about the San Francisco Giants and baseball in general! Keeping with the theme of the week (the potential work stoppage after the upcoming season), today’s question: Who would be to blame […]
Some surprises out in Surprise? Possibly. I mean, the surprise for us right now would be a Cubs victory… the team was 0-3, started a lineup of Triple-A players and PCA, with Ben Brown on the mound, against the Royals ‘A’ lineup. Brown worked two scoreless innings and that was good. Javier Assad took the […]
Anne Rogers writes about how Michael Massey turned to physics to analyze his swing as he fights for a role in 2026. At its core, Massey’s focus was on the forces applied in a swing, both with his body and his bat, and how his bat needs to move to contact the ball consistently. In […]
Something the Detroit Tigers have lacked for a long, long time is speed. Sure, they have some players who can run and plenty who grade out around average, but I’m talking about a real burner. A guy who is a threat to steal a bag every time he gets on base. At various times over […]
“I mean, it was a weird day.“ That’s recent Arizona Diamondback and now Colorado Rockies outfielder Jake McCarthy when asked about scoring the Rockies first run of 2026 against the team that traded him away back in January. “I’m used to coming out that other down the left field foul pole, and then being in […]
Do you remember how you felt when you heard that the Orioles signed Pete Alonso to a five-year contract? Shock was my biggest feeling. Alonso is an actual star and not the kind of player the Orioles have gone after in a long time. Alonso has been an All-Star for the last four seasons. He’s […]
Who is he, and where does he come from? He’s Brendan Rodgers. He was an everyday starter for the lowly Rockies in 2024, leading some to believe he was heading our way at that year’s trade deadline, before we learned that Craig Breslow only makes deals for winning players in the offseason. Subsequently, Rodgers’ age […]
This post is part of a series of daily questions that we’ll ask the community here at Amazin’ Avenue throughout the month of February. We hope you find the questions engaging and that our prompts can spark some fun conversations in the comments. We’ll see you there and plan to have staff chiming in, too. […]
Phillies News: MLB News:
Good morning, Camden Chatters. We’re four days into the Grapefruit League season, still at the point where every team has roughly 10,000 players in camp and the regulars are getting sporadic half-days of work. That’s good, because yesterday’s 10-7 loss to the Braves was not the most sterling pitching performance for the Birds. The O’s […]
We’re back with another daily question, and today’s question is: How worried are you about a baseball lockout? This is one of those topics where everyone seems to have a strong opinion one way or the other. Obviously, no baseball fan wants to see an absence of games, and the long-term fallout is something that […]
Which Rays player has the most to prove?
“All progress occurs because people dare to be different” is what the fortune cookie from my lunch said last week. That little sliver of paper with a generic response now sits on my work desk as a reminder to think outside the box and to challenge the minds of Cardinals fans, including myself. The 2026 […]
One thing is certain: the 2026 version of the Arizona Cardinals’ offensive line will be completely different. That will be a good thing. But the 2025 version stunk to the tune of being ranked #26 as a group. RELATED: FREE AGENCY TRACKER OG DAVID EDWARDS Both tackle spots, Jonah Williams and Paris Johnson, ended up […]
The Arizona Cardinals lost a franchise record 14 games this past season. Their head coach was fired. Their free agent list is pretty long. Needless to say, there will be significant changes in 2026. RELATED: LIST OF 2026 CARDINALS FREE AGENTS There are plenty of names on the free agent list that GM Monti Ossenfort […]
After adding Devin Williams last offseason, the Yankees had to feel confident about the state of their bullpen. Williams, perhaps the best reliever in the world, was joining a group that finished sixth in ERA the year prior, and now had a fearsome duo at the backend in the form of Williams and incumbent closer […]
The Pittsburgh Pirates have a little bit of a question mark with this group. Not as solid as the team’s group of starters, this crew is down previous bullpen mainstay David Bednar from the closer’s role, as he was sent off to the New York Yankees last year. That leaves Dennis Santana, who’s been a […]
People often talk about the relentless nature of the Championship these days, although back in 1996 the second tier could be every bit as demanding. Peter Reid’s Sunderland found this out for themselves during a hectic period that included a long slog to Portsmouth and back, followed by a midweek test against Ipswich Town, and […]
