Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Padres fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. Criticism of the offseason and the lack of moves made by San Diego Padres President of Baseball Operation […]
Yesterday in the press box, we had a lively discussion about some alternate jobs for various Rockies if they weren’t Major League Baseball players. On the Purple Row board, Doug78 mentioned yesterday that they thought, “If Karros can’t make it in the MLB, he definitely has a career being cast in a teen drama for […]
It’s another week here at BCB After Dark: the grooviest gathering of night owls, early risers, new parents and Cubs fans abroad. Come on in and sit with us for a while. You’re always welcome here. The show will start shortly. The hostess will seat you now. There’s no cover charge, but there is a […]
Louisville’s struggles with the biggest games on its schedule continued Monday night in a 77-74 loss at No. 18 North Carolina. The 24th-ranked Cardinals led by 10 points early in the first half, but trailed for the entirety of the second on their way to an 11th consecutive road loss against a top 25 opponent. […]
So as well all know now, the Atlanta Braves “are well on [their] way towards launching a new era in Braves broadcasting.” That quote came directly from the team itself via a publicly released statement but there have also been rumors that the Braves wouldn’t be the only team on this particular network. The Atlanta […]
The Athletics continued their rough start to spring training, losing 6-2 to the San Francisco Giants. The A’s stopped scoring after the first inning, while the Giants scored six unanswered runs. Good thing spring stats and records don’t matter! Looking to avoid a third straight loss to begin preseason action, the A’s started the game […]
I cannot remember going into a St. Louis Cardinals season with so many different expectations than what the team faces in 2026. I’ll ask a question that does not just have one good answer and that is what would make the St. Louis Cardinals upcoming season a success to your eyes? A majority of the […]
The San Diego Padres had a late start to their practice routine on Monday, before they played the Milwaukee Brewers at Peoria Sports Complex. The players had their MLBPA union meeting as well as their normal team meetings and didn’t appear on the practice fields until 10:30 a.m. or later. That did not seem to […]
Are the Arizona Cardinals poised to make a big splash in free agency at the quarterback position? Tony Pauline is reporting the Arizona Cardinals are the team expected to sign Malik Willis in free agency. This would be an interesting decision for Monti Ossenfort and company, but would also make sense as Mike LaFleur would […]
The important news is that Kazuma Okamoto homered, a two-run shot. Beyond that, Jose Berrios pitched 2.2 innings, allowing 3 hits, 2 earned, 1 walk with 2 strikeouts. It doesn’t sound great, but he allowed them in his third inning of work. And I think he’s the first Jay to throw more than two innings […]
The fallout from the first leg between Real Madrid and Benfica has taken another turn — and this time, it ends without consequences for Fede Valverde. Benfica confirmed that UEFA has rejected the formal complaint they submitted against the Uruguayan midfielder. The Portuguese club had accused Valverde of violent conduct during last week’s Champions League […]
Spring Training is a mirage. It’s a wavery vision that sits atop the horizon, and in this oasis, we see what we want to see, trying to discern, predict, manifest, what lies further on up the road in the regular season. I put this into practice as I ventured out into the blizzard currently pummeling […]
‘Tis a biggie. Let’s get it. Go Cards.
Record: 1-3. Change on 2025: 0. 5-inning record: 0-4. Once again, the D-backs waited until late for their offense to show up, only getting their first run on the board when they were already down by seven. That put a thin veneer of respectability on a score which was never really in doubt. Though after […]
That was a bummer. Wait, you don’t know what I’m talking about? Well, MLB returned to the theoretical on Monday, as the Rockies and White Sox played one of those tree-falls-in-the-forest games, with no video or audio record of it left behind. Statcast is a component of every Spring Training game this season, which is […]
Good evening, y’all. So, we’ve got a bit of a series going on in The Feed where we’re asking everybody to map out an All-Time Braves lineup using a grid. If you haven’t already checked it out yet, mosey on over and cast your vote in the first entry so we can get that going. […]
The Milwaukee Brewers looked well on their way to picking up their first Cactus League win this afternoon when a late bullpen collapse by players you’ve probably never heard of meant another day with a zero in the win column for the Brewers. Of course, winners and losers in the Cactus League don’t really matter […]
Today, the Colorado Rockies walked off the Chicago White Sox in a 5-4 win after Zac Veen (No. 9 PuRP) hit a crushing 468 feet walk-off homer. For more details, go here. Let’s start with Veen’s homer: Here’s manager Warren Schaefer on today’s game: And Ryan Feltner reviews today’s outing: And here are Michael Lorenzen’s […]
Daniel Jones & Alec Pierce wanted, will that kill defensive upgrades! IU hires Ryan Carr!
Well, Friday was fun as hell, wasn’t it?!? OMG, I feel like I’ve been waiting forever to see this team perform like this. A week after — let’s face it — not a great meet in Lexington, THIS is what we wanted to see. There was so much good here! The vibes were immaculate. “I […]
Well, that was more spring baseball. The Mariners fourth Spring Training game on Monday was more of the same: weak at bats, sloppy play, and a bunch of names so unremarkable they didn’t even bother printing them on the jerseys. I still enjoyed it, though. These games might be meaningless, but they are still baseball, […]
The Dodgers are on a roll to begin the spring as they notched their third consecutive victory with a 3-0 shutout win over the Seattle Mariners on Monday. Landon Knack was given the start for Monday’s contest, making quick work of the Mariners by facing the minimum in the first inning while tossing just nine […]
This is going to be an old-school recap, because I do not have any video of the Cubs’ 3-2 win over the Royals to show you. So you’ll have to deal with descriptions, and a few MLB Gameday graphics. Ben Brown threw the first two innings for the Cubs. It was a good outing. He […]
Mike Coppinger reports that, as expected, pound-for-pound stars Naoya Inoue and Junto Nakatani will meet on May 2nd at the Tokyo Dome. Undisputed super bantamweight champion Inoue (32-0, 27 KO), who’s firmly established himself as among the best of his generation at 32 years old, is coming off his first four-fight year since 2013. His […]
Yankees baseball is back, and even though it’s only been a handful of games it feels like a turning point in the year to see the boys put on pinstripes and take the field at last. We’ve got a loaded schedule this year for spring with the World Baseball Classic right around the corner, and […]
