You wander in the desert for 3290 days, and it makes sense that you might get nervous when you finally spy the promised land. Louisville 83, South Florida 79. For the first time since March 17, 2017, the Louisville Cardinals face a 48 hour turnaround to play in the NCAA Round of 32. So, all […]
For the first time in 3,289 days, the Louisville men’s basketball team has advanced in the NCAA Tournament. It wasn’t easy. Certainly not as easy as it looked like it was going to be when the Cardinals led by as many as 23 points in the second half. U of L narrowly avoided being on […]
Manchester United will look to start another winning run at Bournemouth on Friday after a big 3-1 rebound win against Aston Villa at Old Trafford last weekend. Interim boss Michael Carrick has guided the side to a stellar run of form at home, but a draw and a defeat in the last three road matches […]
The St. Louis Cardinals Spring Breakout Game will feature JJ Wetherholt, Rainiel Rodriguez and Liam Doyle on the mound as they take on the Washington Nationals starting at 3:30pm. The game should be available through MLB.tv.
A lot of the attention in the sporting world — including occasionally that of your humble author — was elsewhere on Thursday afternoon, with the start of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. However, even with the World Baseball Classic having come to a close, there’s still plenty of spring training action left to go before […]
The Arizona Cardinals had a long list of free agents at the end of the 2025 season. They wanted several guys on the list, but some of the favorite fanbase players moved on. Receiver Greg Dortch was a guy who had plenty of good days while wearing the angry bird helmet. In free agency, he […]
One of my favorite events of Spring Training is the Spring Breakout game. It is a great chance for fans to see some of their team’s top prospects. The Spring Breakout game is here and the Nationals have an impressive lineup. Both the Nats and the Cardinals have much improved farm systems. The Nats lineup […]
While the Tigers’ rotation is currently set, and they appear to have starting depth both among their relief corps and at the Triple-A, they don’t have much in the way of actual starting pitching prospects to help them this year. The most advanced of the bunch are left-handers Jake Miller and our 11th ranked prospect, […]

The Champions League Round of 16 concluded last night, with an average of almost six goals per game scored. Bayern Munich secured their place in the next round by hammering Atalanta 10-2 on aggregate. With Bayer Leverkusen beaten 2-0 by Arsenal on Tuesday (3-1 on aggregate), Bayern are the last German side in the competition. […]
The Minnesota Wild’s recent losing run isn’t cause for alarm, at least not yet. Still, three losses to teams lower in the standings – the Philadelphia Flyers, the New York Rangers, and the Toronto Maple Leafs – raise questions about the team’s shape heading into the playoff season. Bill Guerin recen...
As if there was any doubt, the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner will start the first game of the year. The Pittsburgh Pirates announced on Thursday that Paul Skenes will get the ball in New York to start Opening Day against the Mets. “Duh,” the Pirates tweeted. Skenes tallied 1.97 ERA and struck […]
The Astros aren’t dead yet. It felt like the AL West would run through Houston forever. The Astros won seven consecutive division titles in non-COVID seasons, collecting three pennants and two World Series’ trophies between 2017 and 2024. Few teams had ever been more successful, and few teams had ever been more relevant. They were […]
For a team with as many established veteran players as the Phillies have, there were only a handful of roster battles taking place in Clearwater this spring. Some of those battles are coming into sharper focus now. The Phillies announced utility infielder/outfielder Dylan Moore triggered the player opt-out in his contract Thursday morning, which gives […]
Okay, so we’ve got to talk about Didier Fuentes. I think everybody here knows by now that spring training results should usually be taken with a grain of salt. The level of competition can vary from “everyday big league starter” to “ Guy who is really hoping to make it to Double-A this season” and […]
Who is he and where did he come from? He’s Tommy Kahnle and, like most relievers in their mid-to-late 30s, he comes from all over the league. As one of the rare baseball players to grow up in upstate New York, Kahnle settled for Division II baseball in college before being selected by the Yankees […]
You’ve already seen Jefferson Rojas and Pedro Ramirez play for the Cubs this Spring Training. Both have hit well and Ramirez, in particular, has flashed some glove at third base, shortstop and second base. In 14 MLB spring games this year, Ramirez is batting .357/.429/.607 (10-for-28) with a double, two home runs, 11 RBI and […]
Earlier this month, Jurickson Profar shocked the baseball world with his incredibly foolish decision to take Performance-Enhancing Drugs the year after he had been suspended for 80 games in the past. Upon failing another test, Major League Baseball suspended Profar for the entirety of the 2026 regular season and Postseason. However, the MLBPA did their […]
The roster is starting to come into focus with just over a week to go before the season opener. On the pitching staff, the Royals shipped out Ryan Bergert, Mason Black, Helcris Oliváres, and Mitch Spence this week. Here’s what the bullpen looks like at this point: Locks, barring a trade or injury: Lucas Erceg, […]
As we close in on Opening Day for the 2026 season, now is a time to start to take a look at some of the prospects who have seen their stock rise this spring within the Atlanta Braves system. Making this list isn’t just based on what we have seen in spring training games – […]
