There isn’t all that much to talk about. They just have to win today. Shohei Ohtani is starting for the Dodgers, on short rest. Max Scherzer goes for the Jays. But we will see a lot of pitchers tonight. It is a Johnny Wholestaff day. I was looking at the Athletic’s 2025 predictions for the […]
Game 7 of the World Series will feature a starting pitching matchup involving a pair of future Hall of Famers, as the Los Angeles Dodgers have announced that Shohei Ohtani will be starting for them. The Toronto Blue Jays had previously announced Max Scherzer as their Game 7 starter. Ohtani will be starting on three […]
The San Francisco 49ers will take on the New York Giants in Week 9, looking to bounce back from a 26-15 loss to the Houston Texans last weekend. The 49ers had one of their worst defensive performances of the year, as they couldn’t get any pressure on C.J. Stroud, who had his best day of […]
How was he acquired? The Braves selected Miami lefty Herick Hernandez in the fourth round of the 2024 MLB Draft. It was a slight surprise at the time for a kid who put up a 6.14 ERA and 1.58 WHIP in his lone season with the Hurricanes, but the team believed in his fastball – […]
Our latest Reacts survey took on another daunting question related to last week’s: With many holes to fill looking ahead to the 2026 White Sox roster, where should the front office concentrate its efforts to improve? The answers were a bit surprising. If you believe that the more robust offense of the second half quells […]
11 Years Ago Alex Anthopoulos traded Adam Lind to the Brewers for Marco Estrada. I wasn’t overly thrilled about the trade. He appeared to be a mediocre 5th starter/long reliever/swingman type. I expected a little more for Lind. I worried about Estrada’s tendency to give up home runs. The AL East seemed the wrong place […]
See a picture multiple times, try looking at it from a different angle, and you might find something that you missed. As the Dodgers prepare to play a winner-take-all game for the chance at repeating as World Series champs, one aspect of this game stands out. To truly grasp why, we mustn’t simply look at […]
The New York Rangers are in an interesting position where they should still be at the top of the standings with the talent on their team, but have once again struggled and are 5-5-2 on the season. An injury to Vincent Trocheck hasn't helped them, but this is a team that may need to go through a bit of a transformation to get back to the top of the mountain. To this point, David Pagnotta said, "Braden Schneider is another guy that a lot of teams were poking around on. He's an RFA next summer, a...
The Dallas Cowboys will host the Arizona Cardinals on Monday Night Football this week, but they won’t face Kyler Murray. The game at AT&T Stadium, where Murray has a pristine 9-0 record, will now be Dak Prescott versus Jacoby Brissett. Murray, who is now missing his third straight game, had seemed on track to return […]
The Yankees season ended far sooner than all those involved would have hoped, but that does not mean the season was a total loss. One of the most encouraging developments of the last year was the emergence of Cam Schlittler, Ben Rice, and Will Warren from relatively unheralded prospect status into legitimate contributors at the […]

It was a grand opening followed almost immediately by a grand closing when it came to Héctor Neris’ time with the Atlanta Braves. The former high leverage reliever for the Houston Astros and Philadelphia Phillies ended up latching on with the Braves just in time for Spring Training and ended up pitching (or existing?) his […]
What a busy Saturday for me today!! So many things I want to do, but not enough time to fit everything in. Of course sports are playing a big part of that, with the CFL’s Winnipeg Blue Bombers facing the Montreal Alouettes at 1 pm ( Central ), the NHL’s Winnipeg Jets clashing with the Pittsburgh Penguins at 2 pm, and then the Toronto Blue Jays looking to win Game 7 of the MLB World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers at 7 pm. And as if that wasn’t enough to have on tap….I also have to atten...
The Dodgers won Game 6 of the World Series, and they did so with yet another largely bad performance at the plate. Struggling on the hitting front for the better part of this series, for Los Angeles to be successful in these games and hopefully secure a second consecutive World Series, the path was no […]
The 2025 season is done. It is time to start looking ahead. Hope replaces disappointment. The off-season has not really started yet, although the talking about the off-season is well underway. Lots of people have lots of ideas about how to improve this roster. Of course, the only people who really count in this are […]
It has been a couple weeks since we have caught up on the Arizona Fall League, so I thought it was time to give some updates. The Nationals have actually had a few stand out performers down in Arizona. We have talked about Seaver King, but there are some other players having big impacts. The […]
Embrace it, folks, even if the Sox aren’t playing. This is what it’s all about — all those daydreams, imaginary at-bats, all of it.
The other day, we asked you a question about the team’s payroll. It’s a target that is constantly shifting for unknown reasons, but Dave Dombrowski has gone on record as saying he gave something to John Middleton and it was approved. What that number was, we won’t know, but here is what you think that […]
Good morning, LSB. The Rangers are in need of a new pitching coach after Mike Maddux leaves Texas to join on with the Angels. Evan Grant makes it clear that the Rangers were trying to retain Maddux but he was set on heading west. Elsewhere, the Dodgers force Game 7 on a wild game-ending double […]
Anne Rogers provides an off-season primer for Royals fans. The offseason will be all about the offense again for the Royals, who will target outfield help but also have enough defensive versatility that they don’t have to close the door on infielders. The Royals haven’t been quiet the past two winters when it comes to […]
