Welcome to the Game Thread. Veterans of the Game Thread know how we do things around here, but for all you newbies we have a few rules. Our community guidelines apply and basically say be cool, no personal attacks, don’t troll and don’t swear too much. The first article I wrote for PTR was in March 2014, […]
Lamine Yamal’s season has been disrupted by pubalgia issues and the teenager is still not quite back to 100% yet, according to Deco. Barcelona’s sporting director has been asked about the teenager’s fitness after Sunday’s Super Cup win over Real Madrid and says he’s still some way off his very best form. “He’s doing well, […]
The Seattle Seahawks are making a significant effort to get as many invested 12s in the seats as possible. Per Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times, the Seahawks are actively discouraging fans from reselling season tickets prior to the start of the team’s playoff run. This continues a campaign that was initially started last spring, […]
Casey Stengel called him the “strangest man ever to play baseball,” which, coming from “The Old Perfessor”, is notable. His career somehow spanned 15 seasons, even though he was just a career .243 hitter and only accrued six home runs in 1,962 plate appearances. He spoke seven languages and would often confer with his Princeton […]
Just last week, I took a “way too early” look at a possible Cubs Opening Day roster. Today, we stand 72 days from that (hopefully not too cold) Opening Day game Thursday, March 26 against the Nationals at Wrigley Field — and two significant changes have happened since then. So let’s take another look at […]
When the Mets traded for Huascar Brazobán in the summer of 2024, it was seen as a minor, but craft move. Brazobán, a late bloomer in terms of big league appearances, was under team control through 2028, had two options remaining, and had some interesting facets of his game just below the surface. That didn’t […]
The mid 2000s were a pretty brutal period in Yankees’ history when it comes to one specific facet of the team: pitching. Andy Pettitte left the team in free agency after 2003, having not felt wanted enough by the Yankees, and almost every notable pitching move the team made until his return in 2007 didn’t […]
The New England Patriots’ win over the Los Angeles Chargers in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs came at a cost. In the early fourth quarter of the 16-3 victory, Pro Bowl cornerback Christian Gonzalez left the game after sustaining a head injury. On Monday, head coach Mike Vrabel confirmed that Gonzalez had been […]
After the Hoosiers’ first possession of the second half the Ducks were facing a 42-7 deficit with only 8:52 left in the 3rd quarter. Realistically, even with perfect drive outcomes (touchdowns scored and no points allowed) from that point on Oregon didn’t have time to come back and tie the game before time expired. However, […]
In Mariners news… Around the league… Becca’s picks…

Yesterday evening we got word that the Athletics have named former big league pitcher Barry Enright as the organization’s new pitching coordinator: That job also comes with the title of director of pitching.

Today, I’ll reveal the first six names in this category and tomorrow the other five […]

The Penguins made some roster moves ahead of their game tonight against Tampa. Veteran defenseman Erik Karlsson, who has played in all 208 possible games since being acquired, will now be out at least a week by virtue of being placed on the IR. There was no practice yesterday, Karlsson appeared to get through the […]

The New York Rangers are having another bad season and the team has the worst points percentage in the Eastern Conference. They are also the only team under .500 in the East and have lost eight of their last 10 games. It makes too much sense for the Rangers to sell and they have the means to change things up and bring in helpful pieces. The big trade candidate is Artemi Panarin, who had reportedly rejected a big contract extension and isn't going to take a team-friendly deal to stick around. T...
Micah Parsons was conspicuous in his absence from the Packers’ playoff loss to the Chicago Bears. But in the days after, he’s made his presence felt, just as he’s done in virtually every moment he’s been in Green Bay since the Packers made the aggressive move to pry him away from the Dallas Cowboys. Parsons, […]

By the time the final whistle blew on Monday night’s Third Round FA Cup tie, Liverpool had secured a quite comfortable looking 4-1 victory over League One’s Barnsley. For those watching the match play out, though, it perhaps hadn’t seemed quite so comfortable. After scoring on a pair of quite spectacular—and quite unlikely to lead […]
How sweet it is. Three seasons under DeMeco Ryans and three times the Texans have won big on Wild Card weekend. This time they finally won on the road as they smothered the Pittsburgh Steelers and almost literally put Aaron Rodgers into a sleeper hold. The final score will say this one was a blowout […]
The Ohio State men’s basketball team (11-5, 3-3) suffered two losses Sunday night. The Buckeyes’ 81-74 defeat at the hands of the Washington Huskies (10-6, 2-3) was the first, and somehow less crushing, loss of the evening. The more impactful, and potentially long-term loss Ohio State suffered on Sunday was an injury to starting center […]

Freddy Fermin came to the San Diego Padres from the Kansas City Royals at the trade deadline last season. He was the backup to Salvador Perez in Kansas City but immediately took over and upgraded the catching position in San Diego.
