LOS ANGELES — Dodgers pitching dominated the 2025 National League Championship Series, but in Game 4 the offense picked up the slack as well. Shohei Ohtani was the driving force for both on Friday, leading a 5-1 win over the Brewers that sent the Dodgers back to the World Series. Ohtani hit three home runs […]
LOS ANGELES — Several Dodgers made it clear in the aftermath of clinching the National League pennant that the ultimate 2025 goal has not yet been reached. But there’s still time to appreciate the accomplishment, which puts manager Dave Roberts in select company in baseball history. Roberts is only the 16th manager in National League/American […]
A number of teams (and their fanbases) have already turned their attention towards the offseason. Identifying free agent targets is a big part of that prep work, so it’s worth taking a look at the players who’ll be available at each position. We’re moving to shortstop, where there is one guy clearly above the rest…
1912 The White Sox capped the most amazing City Series ever, having rallied from a 3-0 deficit to win the final four and take the crown. And on this day, in front of a Comiskey Park crowd of 14,985, the South Siders walloped the Cubs, 16-0. The rout would stand as the biggest win and […]
Eugenio Suárez’s catchphrase “Good Vibes Only” is so well-known, it’s on the wall of the clubhouse. It’s easy to focus on the positive, inspirational throw-pillow aspects of the slogan: good vibes! It’s easy to say, and very hard to do, especially in baseball, a game that seems to delight in humbling people. A game that […]
The Athletic | Chris Kirschner: (subscription required) Between the post-mortem press conferences on Thursday and Brian Cashman’s visit to WFAN yesterday, we’ve gotten some insight into the Yankees’ plans as they look back on the 2025 season and ahead to the offseason. Judging from these comments, it seems that the team will look to prioritize […]
LOS ANGELES — Shohei Ohtani had arguably the greatest individual game in the history of Major League Baseball to clinch the pennant for the Dodgers, hitting three home runs to go with six scoreless innings and 10 strikeouts on the mound in Game 4. That signature performance earned the superstar two-way player the National League […]
With the Nationals hiring Paul Toboni as president of baseball operations, the Rockies are the only team searching for a new front office head. That could soon be coming to an end, as Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports that the Rox will narrow to a group of finalists next week. Patrick Saunders of The Denver…
Box Score The Milwaukee Brewers came into tonight’s game trailing the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-0 in the National League Championship Series. Players and fans alike knew that if the Brewers were going to come back, it would be a historic event. Well, the Brewers and their fans did see history tonight, but unfortunately, it came […]
Miami’s undefeated season is no more, as the Canes lost to Louisville 24-21 on Friday night at Hard Rock Stadium. Carson Beck had an absolutely disastrous performance, throwing 4 picks. The rest of the stats are irrelevant, frankly. Miami’s offensive line got its butt whipped from start to finish in run blocking, mustering just 63 […]
We learned two things on Friday night. Louisville is good enough to make it to Charlotte and win the ACC, and is QB Carson Beck what eventually limits Miami’s ceiling? First off all credit to the Louisville Cardinals for a spectacular game plan on both sides of the ball. They controlled the line of scrimmage … Continue reading »
Despite the Toronto Blue Jays playing in game five of the ALCS nearly 4,000 miles away, baseball fever coursed through the confines of the Scotiabank Arena, where the Toronto Raptors defeated the Brooklyn Nets 119-114 on Friday. Both Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic and Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez fielded questions from the media before […]
On April 6, 1977, Diego Seguí threw out the first pitch in Mariners history. He walked Jerry Remy, and the Angels eventually shut out Seattle 7-0. They shut them out the next day too. That year, the Mariners would go 64-98, and the New York Yankees became the American League Champions. On April 11, 1984, […]
Jays 2 Mariners 6 So that eighth inning was the only one that mattered. Brendon Little came in. People don’t like him but he’s been good this season. Cal Raleigh hit one that just cleared the left field wall. 348 feet homer in 14/32 parks. Four feet less would have been nice. Little gave up […]
The Giants interviewed Royals third base coach Vance Wilson as part of their managerial search earlier this month, reports Anne Rogers of MLB.com. Wilson is also a candidate to interview for the Twins’ position, Rogers adds. The 52-year-old has worked as K.C.’s third base coach for the past six seasons. He’d spent the preceding two…
Mariners 6, Blue Jays 2 Letting your trolls get on a roll: Dominic Canzone, -.099 WPAMaking your haters be your waiters at the table of success: Cal Raleigh, +.322 WPA Game Thread Comment of the Day (Almost didn’t pick this one because of the chatspeak (we’re serious about that rule!))
More game thread. Maybe this one will be the one where the Mariners hitters make an adjustment and string together some good at-bats?
Reign will host Utah in their final regular-season home game at 7 PM on Fox 13+ and NWSL+.
Last time out, we talked about the Diamondbacks hitters who are arbitration eligible, as well as discussed the general payroll situation for Arizona, and how possible non-tender candidates would free up more money for use elsewhere on the roster. I’m not going to repeat that here – go check out the articles above if you […]
Even more game thread!
Milwaukee Brewers at Los Angeles Dodges/Toronto Blue Jays Seattle Mariners – A LCS Game thread for October 17, 2025
Are you a free-agent pitcher who has a four-seam fastball in the 93rd percentile for velocity and the 83rd percentile for extension? Well, then, the Astros might have interest in you. They probably had interest in Nate Pearson for those very reasons. A former first-round pick in 2017 and top prospect of the Blue Jays, […]
A trio of Cardinals underwent surgical procedures in recent weeks, the team announced Friday. Lars Nootbaar had surgery on both heels, and Brendan Donovan underwent a sports hernia repair on October 7. Ivan Herrera had surgery on his elbow to remove bone spurring on Oct. 15. John Denton of MLB.com was among those to report…
Well, here we are. The Milwaukee Brewers are mired in one of the worst offensive slumps in the 57-year history of their franchise. This would be a problem if it occurred in June, but when it happens in October, it’s a disaster. Milwaukee has managed one run in each of the three games of this […]
Is it the beginning of the end? It could be the end for Milwaukee, who have been as useless in the NLCS as… Well, insert your own simile of choice there. As noted in the Gameday Thread, they have a shot at setting a new record for the fewest runs scored in the Championship Series […]
