Normally, I like to get the game preview started relatively early. Usually, we know the pitching matchups well ahead of time, and I can start at least writing about the pitchers and get most of the preview done. Then I can add the lineups and a couple of sentences about those closer to game time. […]
David Sandlin has been called up (Joe Rock was optioned) to start for the White Sox Friday night at the open of a three-game set against the Royals. A productive Triple-A arm (1.57 ERA in 23 innings with Charlotte) with major league experience is a nice, traditional solution to a hole in the major league rotation. But Sandlin was sent down after his previous three-start audition for pretty inarguable performance struggles (8.10 ERA), and being lined up against Noah Schultz having a third reh...
The Rockies head to Minnesota tonight to begin the actual second half of the season — Game 82, not the post-All-Star-break version — still buried in the NL West at 32-49 with a -90 run differential. They are 11.5 games out of the final National League playoff spot, and the fan conversation has already moved […]

What Monti Ossenfort has done on paper for the Arizona Cardinals offense is striking. ESPN dropped their rankings for the best offensive weapons in the NFL and the Arizona Cardinals are highly thought of. There’s a scenario in which Love and Harrison live up to expectations, Wilson is able to sustain the sort of form […]

It’s been a dispiriting three game losing streak, although yesterday’s near comeback at least raises some hopes. They get a chance to break out of their funk against Nathan Eovaldi today. Patrick Corbin will go for the Jays, trying to improve after a few weaker outings. Here are the lineups: Rangers: Blue Jays: Go Jays […]
Joe Lauzon is fighting in Boston again, this time at the most historic ballpark in Major League Baseball. Promotional officials announced on Friday that Lauzon, a veteran of 27 UFC fights, has signed a multi-fight deal with BKFC. The Massachusetts native debuts at BKFC 92 on Aug. 29 at Fenway Park. “The thing that got […]

It was reported earlier today that Cavanaugh would be added to the roster. Ramos, 25, was just added to the roster at the start of this month. Shortly after being added to the roster, […]
With Los Angeles Dodgers star Kyle Tucker coming back to the lineup in Friday’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, he missed the last few games with a back injury, which saw Alex Call take up some of the production when he was absent.

“Mendy’s our guy. He’s our leader,” Francisco Lindor said about the New York Mets now-former manager Carlos Mendoza when the team was going through a tough April. Now, when the Mets fired Mendoza after a 34-47 start, the All-star Shortstop maintained the same stance. While expressing his shock over the decision he admitted how his […] The post “I Failed Mendy” – “Hurt” Francisco Lindor Takes the Blame After Carlos Mendoza Loses Mets Job Amid Rough Season appeared first on EssentiallySports .

Catching prospect Drew Cavanaugh is in the Giants lineup tonight, per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area. Fellow catcher Daniel Susac is heading to the injured list with a back injury. Cavanaugh is not officially on the 40-man roster yet, so the Giants will need to make a corresponding move to add him. Cavanaugh, […]
What do the Yankees have in store for us tonight after a sloppy effort in the opener at Fenway? Hopefully they have cleaned up their act after committing four errors leading to six unearned runs scoring. All units were to blame, not just the defense, with multiple HBPs and many runners stranded. It’ll take a […]
Back to Baltimore march the Orioles, but we can’t say it’s with anything like momentum. The team went 4-5 in a nine-game road series against Seattle and both Los Angeles teams, at least several of those winnable games. The Birds probably should have swept the Dodgers, crazy as it sounds, but Ryan Helsley was fresh […]
We all know how the last three games have gone, but it is time to turn the page and move on to the Orioles series. As has been mentioned at length, this Nats team has been resilient this season. However, this upcoming stretch is the biggest test yet. It is tough to drop three games […]
NEW YORK — Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns took questions for 18 minutes after the firing of manager Carlos Mendoza after an uninspiring first half of the season that has New York 13 games under .500. “I understand there’s no magic bullet here,” Stearns said in his opening statement. “There’s no one change […]
