The Atlanta Braves are in their final countdown of their excellent spring showing and Reynaldo López looks to continue his ramp up before hopefully being a key member of a Braves 2026 rebound. López has looked good this spring in his 9.0 innings pitched. He has only allowed six hits, and one earned run so […]
Shohei Ohtani is back in Dodgers camp after the World Baseball Classic, and will likely be back in the Dodgers lineup later this week. We’re also nearing the point when he will pitch in an actual game, after doing his pitching build-up this spring on the backfields and before games. Ohtani pitched four simulated innings […]
Tuesday Trivia returns from another hiatus to celebrate a special day on the calendar. No, not St. Patrick’s Day, but the 40th birthday of one of the most prolific footballers to ever suit up for AS Roma, Edin Dzeko. After pursuing the Bosnian forward for several months, the Giallorossi finally landed the then 29-year-old striker […]

There is no doubting that the Dodgers have made themselves the juggernaut of the NL West and indeed all of baseball, winning back-to-back World Series and signing one of if not the top free agent every winter. The Rockies meanwhile don’t look close to shaking the label of worst team in baseball any time soon. […]
A lot has changed for Griffin Hugus since joining the Seattle Mariners organization. Drafted in the third round for slightly under slot value, the University of Miami product checked every box of a “Seattle Mariner starting pitcher”. With an athletic 6’2 frame and a full arsenal of offerings at his disposal, Hugus paired intriguing underlying […]
The Champions League is back this week as the last 16 teams left in the competition look to secure a place in the quarter-finals.

We had another great game today and this time, there was no controversy. Venezuela 4, Italy 2 Italy took an early lead, but Venezuela rallied with a three-run seventh inning to end Italy’s magical run in the World Baseball Classic. Italy actually broke out to an early lead when Tigers pitcher Keider Montero struggled to […]
Is there anything that goes together quite like the Phillies and St. Patrick’s Day? After all, “Phillie” kind of sounds like an Irish term, and the team mascot is green for some reason. The Phillies used to wear green uniforms on the holiday, but due to Nike’s rules limiting the number of uniforms, that tradition […]

One of the bigger storylines in the Nats fanbase is whether Dylan Crews should make the team. Even a month ago, that would have sounded a bit crazy, considering Crews seemed to have a starting job locked up. I still think he will make the team and play a lot, but his leash is getting […]

Happy Tuesday! The Mariners are back in action today against the Colorado Rockies at 1:10 PM, with the starting pitcher yet to be announced. In some non-baseball news, it’s time for March Madness! One of my personal favorite times of the year. If you think you have what it takes to beat both staff writers […]
Baseball careers rarely follow a straight line. Some players spend years bouncing not only between the majors and the minors, but between teams and even leagues. Others remain in the game long after their playing days end as coaches, broadcasters, or front office executives. Some players never make it to the big leagues and fade […]
As the Mets shook up their roster over the course of the offseason, the biggest names added to the bullpen were Devin Williams and Luke Weaver. But in late January, the Mets inked 39-year-old right-handed reliever Luis García to a modest one-year deal, and he remains a very likely candidate to make the team’s Opening […]
This year’s World Baseball Classic has been a resounding success, a theorem that proves so many assertions about baseball: that baseball is global, that baseball can be fun, that there’s so much talent, that the sport itself is exciting. It has also demonstrated that national teams don’t have to rally around jingoism to forge an […]
With six games remaining in the San Diego Padres spring schedule, and a roster deadline coming quickly, tough decisions are around the corner. The announcement by manager Craig Stammen that Joe Musgrove will start the season on the IL should have come as no surprise to anyone who has noticed his absence since his first […]
The 2025 Boston Red Sox were the third team in the AL East to make the postseason with an 89-73 record. They had the fourth-best record in the American League and lost in the Wild Card round to the Yankees. It was the Red Sox first playoff appearance since 2021 and just their second since […]
The Texas Rangers optioned reliever Marc Church and infielder Justin Foscue to AAA Round Rock, the team announced yesterday. Church made the Opening Day roster in 2025 but struggled with his command, was sent down, and then spent most of the season dealing with injuries, including a torn teres major muscle* that ended his season. […]

For the last 13 years, the Colorado Rockies have played a comical game of musical chairs at first base. Since Hall of Famer Todd Helton retired in 2013, 38 players made a start at first base. Much like the quarterback carousel for the Denver Broncos, the team has struggled to find a permanent or even […]
Walker Buehler is one of a handful of pitchers competing for a spot at the back of the San Diego Padres rotation. He made a strong case for himself with a dominant start against the San Francisco Giants. Buehler threw five scoreless innings and recorded seven strikeouts while allowing three hits and two walks. The […]
