How excited are you about a Braves-specific network?

Quickly piggybacking on yesterday’s news, the question is simple. What’s your excitement level? In theory, it doesn’t have to be very different. MLB.tv is still MLB.tv for out-of-market folks like me, though this may offer you a cheaper monthly option than A) buying all teams through MLB.tv or B) whatever FanDuel direct-to-consumer option previously existed, […]

Three cold streaks the Orioles are looking to end in 2026

For the last 10 days, Maryland has been encased in a covering of frozen snow perpetuated by near constant freezing temperatures.

A Terrific Tiger Statistical Accomplishment

Basketball turnovers are nothing if not lost opportunities.  This season, there’s only one ACC team that’s making the most of its possessions in that regard, and that’s Clemson. Playing with toughness and tight discipline, Brad Brownell’s Tigers lead the league in a single official statistical category and that’s defensive rebounding percentage. But they’re also among […]

Still Waiting on Pitchers, the Cardinals’ Big Haul, Market Impact, and Other Cubs Bullets

I hope you’re having a swell Tuesday morning … Pitchers and catchers for some clubs will start reporting, officially, to Spring Training sites in exactly one week. That doesn’t mark any kind of hard cut-off for signings and trades, but if you’re a free agent pitcher, in particular, it does seem like you might be eager to get something done so that you can arrive with your fellow pitchers and catchers on a normal schedule with your new team. Which is to say, for that group of moves, spec...

In The Lab: The Astros Platoon Advantage

Every good analyst has to start with an acknowledgement of limitations. As much as we might want to rely on the numbers on the back of the baseball card, each season exists in its own universe. One of the axioms I always go by is that I don’t really start worrying or getting excited until […]

Tuesday BP: How do you feel about the Luis Arráez signing?

On Saturday, the San Francisco Giants made what will likely be their last major move of the 2025-26 offseason, agreeing to a one-year deal with three-time All Star Luis Arráez and his preternatural left-handed contact abilities. It was a move that not many saw coming, but after failing to swing a trade for Nico Hoerner […]

State of the Yankees’ System: Outfield

The Yankees’ outfield is loaded with star power on both sides of the ball, as any group led by Aaron Judge should be. The generational slugger won his third AL MVP award in 2025 after yet another season that had to be seen to be believed: .331/.457/.688 (a career-high in batting average), 53 home runs, […]

The Colorado Rockies and “He wants to be here” 2.0

It became a punchline for Colorado Rockies fans. “That’s the main thing, he wants to be here and be part of the turnaround,” manager Bud Black said of Germán Márquez in 2023 when the RHP signed a two-year, $20 million deal. Here’s Charlie Blackmon in 2023: “The Rockies want me to be here. Obviously, I […]

Study Hall: Mizzou 84, Mississippi State 79

Fun facts, Missouri was a 71% chance to win this game at the tip, and the lowest it would drop was when MSU took a one point lead at 26-25. That was at the end of a 12-1 run, which followed a rather stupid technical foul on Shawn Phillips. Anthony Robinson II had just rebounded […]

Greatest Twins Moments & Performances: A Twinkie Town Definitive List (Round 15)

Results After four straight dismal seasons, Target Field had become more mausoleum than marvel. The 2015 Twins were a desperately-needed injection of competitive excitement into the fanbase. Nothing personified the upswing more than the heroics of July 10, 2015. After a furious rally from a 6-1 ninth inning deficit, Brian Dozier found himself at the […]
