Well, it’s a sad day for generations of Atlanta braves fans as one of the most beloved and most important figures in the history of the franchise has passed away. Former Braves owner and media mogul Ted Turner has died at the age of 87. Turner Enterprises announced the news in a press release and […]
1903 The White Sox were charged with 11 errors in a game in Chicago vs. Detroit. While that’s a big story in itself, it’s not the most remarkable item to come out of this game. What is the most remarkable item to come out of this game is the fact that the Sox won the game, 10-9, scoring three […]
(21-13) Gwinnett Stripers 5, (13-21) Norfolk Tide 3 Box Score Other than running into some trouble in the sixth inning, it was a really strong pitching performance by Elieser Hernández who mixed his pitches pretty well, but was especially strong with his four-seam that he utilized over 50% of the time. Because he was able […]
UW Women’s Softball opens Big Ten Tournament play today (hopefully). UW Athletics continue their “Academic Prowess”. There is a push to expand the CFP to 24 teams. And Jedd Fisch turned 50 yesterday. Those and more for your Wednesday Dots. Football Dots UW Athletics Dots
Worcester: W, 7-6 (BOX SCORE) The WooSox enjoyed an early home run from Mickey Gasper, his fifth on the year, but the good feelings didn’t last for too long against the Rail Riders (Yankees AAA). As referenced earlier, the WooSox are going to be pre-cautiously switching out their pitchers to rest arms in case the […]
It took one extra inning to get there, but ultimately, the result was the same. The Cubs have now won seven straight and 13 in a row at home. They’ve won 17 of 20. The team is scorching hot. For my point of reference, I’m going to say this. When a team digs itself an […]
Arbitrary endpoints in baseball are fun. If you want to make the case for something, it’s usually not hard to do it if you get to pick the start and end dates, which is exactly what’s about to happen here. Since April 23, Carson Benge has hitting much better than he had from Opening Day […]
When Spencer Strider was nearing his return to the major league roster which he made on Sunday, Braves manager Walt Weiss told reporters that Martín Pérez was going to be moving to the bullpen. He was never used in that capacity, however, and will now instead be starting again for Atlanta’s Wednesday afternoon series finale […]

Yesterday, TGP’s own Joe Edinger wrote about how the Phillies fared through the first month of the ABS system. You can (and should!) get the big picture from reading his article. But today I’d like to look at the smaller picture. What were the best and worst ABS challenges from Phillies through the first month? […]
One of my favorite places to go for prospect content is Baseball America, and I would highly recommend subscribing. This morning BA dropped an updated top 100 list that featured two new Nats. Those two new players are Ronny Cruz and Seaver King, who rank 96th and 99th on the list. Cruz and King are […]
Falling to fifth doesn't have to be the end of the Rangers' draft story. With Chris Drury and Mike Grier's history, one current roster player could change everything.
Another day of minor league baseball is in the books. See the results below. AAA: Sugar Land Space Cowboys (17-17) lost 7-5 (BOX SCORE) Whitcomb put Sugar Land on the board in the first inning on a 2 run home run. Imai made a rehab start and went 3 innings allowing 1 run, though he […]
Emilee Boyer through a complete game shutout in the first round of the SEC softball tournament to lift 13-seed Ole Miss to a 2-0 win over 12-seed South Carolina. Now the Lady Rebels (33-23, 6-18 SEC) move on to the second round against the 5-seed Tennessee Volunteers (42-9, 16-8 SEC) with a chance to advance […]
Oh, how seductive it must have been. You buy a basketball team. Months later, you are standing at midcourt in Minnesota holding the Western Conference Finals trophy. Cameras catch your face. For one dangerous second you cannot help but think: is this what owning a sports franchise is like? It is not. A few days […]
In the first of two straight days with only three games across the Dodgers’ four minor league affiliates due to postponements, only the Ontario Tower Buzzers came out on the winning end of their matchup. Player of the day It’s only natural that the choice for player of the day would come from the Ontario […]
A sizzling hot start by Northwestern’s offense fueled its 7-1 win over Illinois State at Rocky and Bernice Miller Park on Tuesday. The Wildcats (20-25-1, 7-17 B1G) built off the momentum of a weekend series win over Indiana with a wire-to-wire victory over the Redbirds (30-18, 12-9 MVC). NU has scored 23 runs over its […]
The Royals’ offense has begun to pick up after a cold start to the season. The higher run production has not only led to more wins, but full bellies for many Royals fans. The team partnered with the fast casual chain Hawaiian Bros this year with a “Plates for Plates” promotion – for every game […]
Happy Wednesday A’s Fans. Through 35 games, the Athletics have held their own, with an 18-17 record that has kept them in first place in the American League West for the moment. The team has maintained a slightly above .500 record despite several members of its pitching staff not performing well. For example, right-hander Luis […]
Good morning everyone! The Mariners dropped another one-run contest yesterday, falling to the Braves by a 3-2 final. Andrés Muñoz took another tough loss last night, and it’s been an uncharacteristically rocky start for the closer. What is your level of concern for him right now? In Mariners news… Around the league…
In case you’ve been living under a rock, it was announced on Monday that Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal has been diagnosed with loose bodies in his elbow and will require surgery, sidelining him for a minimum of two months. Unless there is underlying damage in the elbow discovered during the procedure, this injury has […]
The good times kept rolling for the Yankees on Tuesday night, as they came from behind to beat Jacob deGrom on behalf of since-demoted rookie Elmer Rodríguez. They’ve won 15 of their last 17 games and would almost be running away with the AL East already if the Rays weren’t off to a scalding-hot start […]
The Nats at catcher are currently the worst in baseball. In the previous two seasons they were 24th and 24th in wins above position, which tracks with what we all know. They are bad. They haven't been the worst , thanks mainly to catcher being such a hard position that other teams were complete failures, but now they are the complete failure. Their issues at catcher might be the worst at any position in baseball* Their main catcher Keibert Ruiz is hitting .182 / .203 / .303. Tradit...
Morning, all! Rule 5 pick Carter Baumler hasn’t pitched in a week during his rehab assignment in Round Rock, and he may be on ice for much longer after being diagnosed with a strained rotator cuff. Josh Smith is headed to the IL with a glute strain, and had been replaced on the active roster […]
