Not everyone has been a fan of the Seattle Mariners’ piggyback pitching plan. But on Sunday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, it worked to perfection. In a 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks, Luis Castillo and Bryce Miller made history. They became the first pair of teammates to each pitch exactly five innings in a win since […]

Take a trip in your way-back machine. We’re going all the way to the mid-2000’s. Tom Brady of the New England Patriots is the greatest quarterback going. He’s already won three Super Bowls — and he’s on the verge of winning another. One problem. He’s run into a New York Giants team loaded with pass […]
To many fans, Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig represent the “beginning” of Yankees history, the first true stars whose performance at the plate kickstarted the first ever Yankees dynasty in the 1920s. But the Yankees did not emerge ex nihil when Ruth joined the team in 1920. Seventeen years prior, a new squad, named the […]
New York Yankees star Aaron Judge is dealing with an injury that is expected to keep him out for at least a month and possibly longer. While losing the best hitter in baseball due to injury is obviously far from ideal, the Yankees have another emerging MVP candidate on their roster. Ben Rice has performed […]

Edward Cabrera left the game May 20 against the Brewers with a blister, after throwing three innings and allowing four runs (one earned). Here’s how that happened [VIDEO]. Your browser does not support the video tag. Cabrera’s year so far has been decent enough: 10 starts, 4.00 ERA, 1.352 WHIP, 47 strikeouts in 54 innings. […]
The college basketball transfer awards, mixing in an ode to baseball hitters.
After a 26-12 start to the season, the Chicago Cubs have gone just 7-18 over their last 25 games, including a winless 6-game homestand. If the 2025 Giants were here, they could relate in all these ways. Instead, it’s the 2026 Giants slated to face off against a team projected to be one of the […]
In order to properly evaluate Shohei Ohtani's crazy season, we need new stats and new awards. Because what we have right now isn't going to cut it.

Another day of minor league baseball is in the books. See the results below. Check out the previous day’s recap here. AAA: Sugar Land Space Cowboys (26-34) won 4-1 (BOX SCORE) Sugar Land got the scoring started in the 5th inning scoring 3 runs on an Alexander RBI single and Perez 2 run single. Brown made […]
There are still four months to go in the season, so trying to break down an end-of-year award at this early point may be a bit of a fools’ errand. And yet, here I go. This year’s NL Cy Young race is shaping up to be one of the most dynamic and competitive in the […]
MLB’s prospect coverage site, Pipeline, released a new mock draft for the 2026 MLB Draft last night. In that mock draft they had the Atlanta Braves selecting two players whose names have been prominently discussed in and around the Top 10 prospects in the draft class dating back to last winter. With the first pick, […]
The Cubs and Giants will play their entire season series over the next 10 days, three this weekend at Wrigley Field and three next weekend in San Francisco. Thanks, schedule-makers.

Throughout his career as a head coach, Will Wade has always had a big personality, been very vocal during games, and made some moves that have gotten LSU into trouble. Wade is an excellent coach, but those things have caused a bit of a mark on any praise he would get. Still, LSU and fans […]
Just like last year, the Tar Heels are two wins away from a trip to Omaha. Just like last year, the team they are facing is not the team people thought they would be facing. Hopefully this year is not like last year. In an NCAA Tournament that has seen a boat load of upsets […]
The Twins optioned infielder Royce Lewis to Triple-A a couple of weeks ago. Since then, he has hit eight home runs and slashed .367/.446/.939. He has also started expanding his defensive versatility. He played first base yesterday and was at second base the day before. Late last month, it was fair to wonder if Lewis’s […]
Aaron Judge won't be taking any at-bats any time soon, and that's not a problem the New York Yankees can simply hope to sidestep.
In light of Aaron Judge’s stress fracture in his right rib, the Yankees will be without their captain and three-time AL MVP for at least four-to-six weeks. It will probably be longer than that. So, with Giancarlo Stanton and Jasson Domínguez still not ready to return from their respective injuries, the organization decided to call […]
About this time last year I made the case for Julio Rodríguez as an All-Star. It was a pointed response to the discourse of the day: his latest slow start at the dish. I didn’t think it was a fair (or even accurate) characterization of his season to that point. At the time, Julio was […]
