Four, that’s right, four days to go until the games start meaning to mean! Until then, we’ll have to sate ourselves with whatever kind of scrap of news this is. Uh, alright? Nothing wrong with a little catching depth, I suppose? Korey Lee doesn’t have any options remaining and has had a productive spring, so […]

Here at Brew Crew Ball, normally our game recaps provide a play-by-play (or, at least the important plays) of the game that we’re recapping. Since today’s Spring Breakout is an exhibition game, more of an excuse to showcase prospects than a game that really counts for anything, I thought I’d do this recap a bit […]

Box Score The Milwaukee Brewers wrapped up their Cactus League slate in Mesa, Arizona on Sunday afternoon, as they took a rough 12-0 loss at the hands of the Chicago Cubs. Is this a worrying loss? Perhaps even less than other spring training games, which are already of very little concern. In this one, the […]
That was a fun way to wrap spring training. The Blue Jays smoked Tampa Bay, 14-1, with most of the regulars getting in on the action. The highlights: We also got some news.

Much like Friday night against the Padres at Camelback Ranch, Sunday showcases another potential opening day lineup for the Dodgers, this time with Alex Freeland at second base after getting good […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have spent much of this offseason reshaping their roster, but one area still quietly in need of reinforcement is the interior offensive line. After losing Isaac Seumalo to the Arizona Cardinals, they appear to have a hole at left guard. If they’re serious about stabilizing the offense and protecting their long-term quarterback […]

He would […]

No. … Wait, you want more? How about in bold? No. Ok, I guess I should probably show my working a little bit. So what I did was gather up the D-backs’ spring training results for each season since 2003 (which is where ESPN’s statistics begin), with the exception of 2020 – when both spring […]
