The Dallas Cowboys could be seeing a former face in the near future. Earlier this week the New York Giants dismissed Brian Daboll as their head coach, he literally never won a game against the Cowboys, and they are now the second team in the NFL who will officially be looking for a new skipper […]

The hit by Luis Salazar that won this day’s game might have been the single play that cemented the NL East title for the Cubs in 1989. To understand that statement, a little context is needed. Salazar had been acquired in trade just 10 days earlier from the Padres. It was just his ninth game […]

There isn’t all that much for Jays’ news, which isn’t a surprise. John Schneider came in second for the Manager of the Year award. A lot of us figured he would win, because he took the Jays from last to first in the AL East. Of course, he was the manager when they finished last […]

Like with the Academy Awards, sometimes the committee gets it right and sometimes it leaves you dumbfounded as to how a group of people convened for the sole purpose of having good judgment can see things so differently from you. And like the Academy Awards, at the end everyone is talking about a guy named […]

MLB Rumors — Man, the GM Meetings are absolutely ripping with MLB rumors this year. Much more than usual. That doesn’t mean there’ll be a ton of early movement (I think it’ll just be a normal offseason in that respect). But I had about 50 tabs open this morning with reports and rumors out of Las Vegas. For your convenience, I’ve collected some of the highlights from those stories, alongside my own perspective, below. Let’s dive in! Starting Pitcher Trade Market No surprises here...

Heading into the final day before the trade deadline this season, the 2025 Yankees had a lot of question marks, but none loomed larger than the bullpen, both for 2025 and beyond. And so, Brian Cashman had himself a busy day at the deadline, pulling in David Bednar from the Pittsburgh Pirates, Jake Bird from […]

Cue the sounds of shattering glass, or perhaps the whomp whomp of a sad trombone. The dreams of a College Football Playoff berth are now down the drain for Mizzou. After a 38-17 loss at home to Texas A&M last weekend, the Tigers’ season has reached a turning point. A season that began with championship […]

The Athletics Nation Season In Review series continues this morning with a pitcher that made just four relief appearances for the A’s. Though maybe they should have kept him around longer after he switched teams midseason. He really seemed to run away with his chance at starting, something that the A’s could have used more […]

Folks who know me well may know that I typically have about 30 to 50 tabs open on my computer at any given time (sadly, not an exaggeration (current count: 43)). There’s just always stuff I want to read, stuff I might want to include in a post, and stuff that might later trigger a new post idea. One tab I’ve had open for weeks is Angels outfielder Jo Adell’s FanGraphs page . At the end of the season, I was just kinda trolling around looking at season performances I hadn’t noticed as they ...

Major League Baseball officially calls the player who begins the inning during regular season extra inning games the “automatic runner” in the rules. That is an objectively boring name. Baseball fans have dubbed this player the “ghost runner,” which is far more interesting, even if it’s not technically accurate; they’re just as real as any […]

The Arizona Cardinals won’t have their top wide receiver, Marvin Harrison Jr., in Week 11. The second-year pro had surgery for appendicitis, which will keep him out of a home game against the San Francisco 49ers this week. Harrison Jr. is second on the Cardinals in targets, receptions, yards, and touchdowns, behind tight end Trey […]

How acquired León was well-traveled when Atlanta signed him on April 2, 2024 after he failed to make the Kansas City Royals roster. He’d played in more […]

As I learned from Mike Poepping’s Baseball Reference page, the 14-game major leaguer’s surname is pronounced “PEPP-ing.” So I will refrain from making “pooping” jokes throughout the recap. But it was Poepping’s second-inning swing dumping a floater into the bleachers that let loose the scoring, the Tales hammering the Stories 11-5 to take a 3-1 […]

When things go bad, they go from bad to worse. The Arizona Cardinals will be without wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. this week and potentially longer as he had to have appendix surgery. The problem with the injury is not just missing Marvin, which is a massive loss because the Cardinals passing game goes through […]
