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 […]

Jaylon Thompson gives an update on Royals prospects in the Arizona Fall League, like reliever A.J. Causey. Causey has an elevated 9.95 ERA but offers strong command of his pitches.

Joe and Eric face off in a ten-game check-in: is it time to panic about the Rangers, or still just trust the process?
Shohei Ohtani says he’s getting ready to pitch in Toronto as the World Series shifts to Canada, writes Andy McCullough at The Athletic. What could that look like? McCullough argues that it should be as a starter for Game 7 thanks to the eponymous Ohtani Rule, which was updated in 2022. It states that a […]
About four weeks ago, shortly after the Red Sox were eliminated, I wrote that I was rooting for the Blue Jays to win the World Series in one our Over The Monster group posts. There are several reasons for this, but one of which is I want another big spending team in the division not […]
A few weeks ago, we detailed the case for the Phillies to pursue Nippon Professional Baseball star Munetaka Murakami. The lefty slugger is sure to be the biggest name looking to make the jump from Japan to the Major Leagues, but he won’t be the only Japanese star to be posted this winter. In the […]
The history of baseball is littered with players that, while not stars, managed to leave an indelible mark on a season, a team, or even the sport at large. While Brandon Young has not yet made it to that level of cult hero, he was certainly responsible for some of the most memorable moments of […]
Sure would be nice if baseball current event-y stuff happened to fuel these, but I guess the World Series has to end before that. Anyway, see the title. I’m not asking about the best logo, just the worst. Nor is it limited to baseball. Once upon a time, there was a website called LogoServer, which […]
After beating Sassuolo in a difficult 1-0 match on Sunday, Gian Piero Gasperini and the Giallorossi immediately turned the page to their next opponent, Parma. With only two days of rest between games and tough fixtures against AC Milan and Rangers looming next week, Roma might have been forgiven if they played a bit flat […]
