The first thing my wife said to me this morning was, ‘It wasn’t a dream.‘ She knows me. One of my first thoughts this morning was ‘That was the sort of World Series start we should have had from Roy Halladay”. If, you know, we had a front office that could have surrounded him with […]
The Arizona Cardinals are coming off their bye week and the Dallas Cowboys are coming off a game in which they played as if it was their bye week. Despite the embarrassing loss to the Denver Broncos last week, the Cowboys are still favored at home in this Week 9 matchup with the Cardinals. This […]
Rolddy Muñoz rolled into town for a rollicking good time. A whole whopping three innings. The right-handed relief prospect has relish-worthy velocity on his fastball and rolls a lot of grounders, but he also walks too many. How acquired Muñoz signed during the 2019 international free agency period for a whole $20,000. What were the […]
The 2015 draft was an all time great for the Astros as they nailed their first two picks in the first round, and found some good talent late. Here is a look back at the first 5 rounds of picks and some other notables. Round 1, Pick 2 – Alex Bregman, INF The Astros were awarded […]
Arizona Fall League Updates Harrison covered the eight Brewers prospects participating in this year’s Arizona Fall League in an article published early last week. Now that we’re closer to the end of the AFL than the beginning, here’s some updates on a few standout prospects. Josh Adamczewski (No. 13) Adamczewski had one of the biggest […]
Over the weekend, the LSU Tigers opted to fire Brian Kelly after a 49-25 loss to Texas A&M dropped them to 5-3 on the season. The LSU opening is now considered one of the biggest head coach vacancies in college football, and many are speculating on the best candidates to fill the job. Given the […]
So far, the reviews for the new Broadway production, The New York Rangers, are getting panned by critics. With a new director (Stanley Cup champion coach Mike Sullivan) and a disgruntled leading man (Artemi Panarin), when will this production finally find its rhythm? These dress rehearsals are getting a thumbs-down from Siskel and Ebert. Winless at…
In failure and in success, the Dodgers have gotten used to the burden of expectation, routinely taking on the role of Goliath, so to speak. Seldom has there been a moment in which you could realistically claim this team is outmatched, even in past eliminations. Now, as they go down 3-2 in the World Series […]
Rafael Marchán tends to fly under the radar. He’s not a three-time All-Star like J.T. Realmuto, and he’s not a beloved master of locker room ceremonies like Garrett Stubbs. He stepped into a larger role this year for the Phillies, but still occupied only a small part of the Phillies faithful’s collective consciousness. Those of […]
When the Mets signed AJ Minter in January, the hope was that he would become a key member of the bullpen they had been missing: an effective lefty reliever. He had been great in Atlanta for his entire career up to this point, holding a 3.28 ERA with 422 strikeouts in 348 2/3 innings since […]
With the completion of Mizzou’s second trimester of the 2025 season, I felt like it would be a good time to take a look at how the Tigers’ offense and defense ranks nationally. And not just in your standard stats like total rushing yards or whatever. No. We’re going deeper. Here’s what I got for […]
The Washington Nationals have hired their next manager, but it is not somebody whose name has been out there. Paul Toboni has decided to hire 33 year old Blake Butera to be the next manager of the Washington Nationals. He will be the youngest big league manager in over 50 years. This is a very […]
It’s fitting that in the year of the Big Dumper, the Blue Jays are on the verge of their first World Series win in more than 30 years. If they had to vanquish one spectacularly large ass to make the Fall Classic, it was made possible by a collection of more ‘donks that was more […]

We have a bit of a weird question for you today. The Dallas Cowboys play their next game on Monday night against the Arizona Cardinals and we all have some trepidation about it given Arizona’s recent success against the Cowboys. They have won seven of the last eight meetings between the team. Oh, and Cardinals […]
Do you ever feel like punishing yourself for no real reason? That’s not the feeling that led me to revisit the “Bold Predictions” I made about the 2025 White Sox heading into the season, but by the time I was done with them, it sure felt like an exercise in self-flagellation. That’s a bit of […]
Justin Huff and Mo Brady never followed sports until their son fell in love with baseball. Now they're huge fans and follow his every game. The post Gay Instagram dads capture hearts with viral Little League baseball post about their son appeared first on Outsports .
Hello everyone! It’s the final off-day of the MLB postseason before the title is decided this weekend. With that, let’s catch you up on the latest. MLB postseason scores… In Mariners news… Around the league…
The Royals have never been a team to walk much, but they did improve their patience in the second half of the season. They had a 6.4 percent walk rate in the first half – dead last in baseball – and an 8.5 percent walk rate after the All-Star break, 13th-best in baseball. I wanted […]
Finally, I think I’ve got one here that all of us can agree on. Nico Hoerner was one of the top players in the National League this year. He might have received an All-Star nod if he’d hit somewhat better in the first half. Overall his year was worth 6.1 bWAR, which ranked tied for […]
Luke Weaver entered this season with high expectations. The journeyman—who had posted a 6.44 ERA while bouncing around between five teams during the 2022 and 2023 campaigns—unexpectedly emerged as a viable back-end reliever with the Yankees in 2024, pitching to a 2.89 ERA in 84 innings and taking over the closer role down the stretch […]
Welcome to the 2025 edition of Ranking the Rockies, where we take a look back at every player to log playing time for the Rockies in 2025. The purpose of this list is to provide a snapshot of the player in context. The “Ranking” is an organizing principle that’s drawn from Baseball Reference’s WAR (rWAR). […]
In March 2026, Astra House will release Metropolitans: New York Baseball, Class Struggle, and the People’s Team, a new book by A.M. Gittlitz (I Want to Believe: Posadism, UFOs and Apocalypse Communism, Beyond Antifascism). The book is unlike any other Mets-related book we’ve seen; Gittlitz has gne deep into not just Mets history, but the […]
The propulsion of this year’s season is quite a bit different than what was planned. No team in any league has a blueprint that begins with a 2-5-0 record. Which isn’t so bad when the entity is the NHL, NBA, MLS, or Major League Baseball. They play so many games that a bad start can […]
2025 In A Discarded-On-The-Dugout-Floor Nutshell Speed demon continues to show smarts—even when his bat goes cold. Did he generate enough value to stay or enough value to be a part of a big trade package? The Good Jarren Duran continues to be an absolute speed demon and make teams pay for it. Not only was […]
