Last season was a year of roster transition for the Dodgers, who cut ties with longtime mainstays Chris Taylor and Austin Barnes in May, then Clayton Kershaw retired after 18 seasons. Those were the three longest-tenured players on the team. So let’s look at the current roster and find the new deans. If we go […]
Last week was a tough pill to swallow. With league leaders Arsenal playing a double gameweek, I decided to go big and activated my Triple Captain chip on Arsenal defender Gabriel. In a frustrating turn of events, the Gunners failed to secure a win against either Brentford or Wolves, and the clean sheets I was […]

It’s here. The first Orioles game of the spring training schedule is happening today in Sarasota. The game will be aired on both MASN (TV/streaming) and WBAL (radio) in Baltimore, so if you have access to either of those, you can even follow along. It’ll feel a little warmer with baseball going on somewhere. This […]

Kazuma Okamoto is a 29-year-old, right-handed hitting corner infielder from Gojo, Japan. He’s played 11 seasons in the Nippon Professional Baseball. The Jays signed him to a four-year, $60 million contract (Ben Clemens at FanGraphs figured him to sign four years and $72 million). Not that it means much, but he’s shown a nice sense […]
One of the best days of the year is here! Spring training has officially opened, the Yankees kicking off their Grapefruit League exhibition series with a trip to Sarasota to take on the Orioles. The offseason may have been “brutal”’ and “frustrating”’ at times as Aaron Judge put it, but baseball is back and we […]
It took five games and four extra innings, but UConn finally found the win column, topping Arizona 6-4 to improve to 1-4 on Thursday night. On Friday, the Huskies blanked the Wildcats to start their first winning streak of the season. They lost a close one on Saturday. Thursday After a strong start to the […]

The Bucs will play 31 Spring Training games, running all the way up until March 23. They will play 16 […]
Hope springs eternal this time of year, particularly if you’re a hitter in the hot, dry air of Arizona. The Royals typically perform pretty well in the Cactus League, which means absolutely nothing since the games don’t count. But you can be excused for getting a teensy bit excited about a player who seemed to […]
Dalton Rushing got his first taste of the major leagues last season, and all of its ups and downs. Now, he heads into potentially his first full season in the majors. As the backup to Will Smith, it’d be tough for anyone to find a rhythm at the plate playing once or twice per week […]
News came out today that California prep prospect Jared Gridlinger is set to reclassify and move from the 2027 MLB Draft into the 2026 MLB Draft. Gridlinger ranked as high as No. 3 overall and No. 1 prep player in the 2027 class, and adds another premium talent into what is already a strong draft […]
Is the game on TV? Yes! This is one that NESN never misses. Check it out at 1:05 PM. What’s the lineup? What should we watch for? From an on-field perspective, the most interesting thing here is Kristian Campbell in centerfield, by far. But that’s not what today is about. Today is about looking away […]
*hopefully Welcome to Week 8, y’all. Can you believe this is the last meet at the team’s new home, Mizzou Arena? Gotta make it count (literally, for NQS purposes, and figuratively, to showcase the venue). The Tigers are coming off of two historical wins, including last weekend’s victory in Lexington for the first time in […]
Texas A&M kicked off the 2026 season with a series sweep of Tennessee Tech last weekend. The Aggies won the contests against the Golden Eagles 15-6, 23-7, and 7-1. Caden Sorrell started the season on fire, going 9-for-15 at the plate with three home runs and ten RBIs. The Aggies followed up that series sweep […]
Instead of writing about Cal Raleigh’s 2025 season, I’d like to show you a few pitches that caught my attention. April 17, bottom of the tenth The Mariners had stormed back in the ninth inning to tie the game and send it to extras (thanks to a Cal Raleigh home run), which meant that Cal […]
Today we look at the Cubs’ new flamethrowing reliever, a former first-round pick (#22 overall in 2013 by Baltimore), who has been in The Show since 2019. Hunter Luke Harvey, son of former MLB reliever Bryan Harvey, came to the Cubs as a free agent, signing on New Year’s Eve, and is expected to take […]
