The San Diego Padres needed a win like Wednesday afternoon’s. As the Padres bludgeoned the San Francisco Giants, 7-1, to salvage the series finale, they finally put together an offense that matched what it looks like on paper. The club (after only recording nine extra-base hits going into Wednesday’s contest) had five XBH, including four […]
It was an interesting season for Jose A. Ferrer. On one hand, he showed all of the interesting traits that make him an exciting young reliever. However, 2025 did not prove to be the breakout season many expected from Ferrer. He showed flashes, but was unable to put it all together this year. When you […]
In terms of on-ice results it is pretty fair to say that preseason expectations for the 2025-26 Pittsburgh Penguins were as low as they have been in two decades. I do not know of anybody, nor did I see anybody, anticipating a playoff team or any sort of a contender. Everybody knows the deal here. […]
The Dolphins are heading for an unwanted, but much-needed rebuild in 2026.
MLB announced today that two Athletics players, outfielder Tyler Soderstrom and starting pitcher Luis Severino have been named 2025 Rawlings Gold Glove Award nominees. The Gold Glove Award recognizes the best defensive players at each position across Major League Baseball. This is extra-impressive considering that Soderstrom didn’t even start the year as the A’s starting […]
Ahead of the 2025 season, the biggest debate among Mets fans was the return of Pete Alonso. While many fans felt that his asking price for a contract was too high given the skill set that he brings to the game and his perceived decline over the past few seasons, there was an equal or […]
The Kansas City Royals missed the playoffs in 2025, finishing with a record of 82-80 on the season. They finished third in the division, six games behind the Guardians, and the second team out in the Wild Card race, finishing five games out. After an 86-76 campaign in 2024, snagging a Wild Card spot and […]
Welcome to the 2025 edition of Ranking the Rockies, where we take a look back at every player to log playing time for the Rockies in 2025. The purpose of this list is to provide a snapshot of the player in context. The “Ranking” is an organizing principle that’s drawn from Baseball Reference’s WAR (rWAR). […]
Pittsburgh Steelers (4-1) With another victory this past Sunday out of the bye week, their third in a row, the Steelers have muti-game lead for the division lead. They have an opportunity to widen the gap even further on Thursday night by beating the Cincinnati Bengals on the road. The Steelers took care of business […]
With the imminent waiving of two Bucks players to get the roster down to 15 regular contracts and three two-way players, I wanted to take stock of where each of Andre Jackson Jr., Amir Coffey, Tyler Smith, and Chris Livingston stands. With Thanasis all but assured to make the team for obvious reasons, these other […]
Teams: Syracuse Orange (3-3, 1-2) vs Pittsburgh Panthers (4-2, 2-1) Day & Time: Saturday, October 18, 7:30 pm Location: JMA Wireless Dome, Syracuse, NY Line: Despite the bye week and a trip back home, Syracuse is still a +10.5 point underdog according to Fanduel’s odds. TV/Streaming: ACCN, WatchESPN Radio: Cuse.com, TK 99/105, WAER 88.3, SiriusXM […]
1912 The White Sox continued their climb back into the City Series with a 7-5 win at Comiskey Park that cut the team’s deficit in the Series to 3-2. Joe Benz was the hero, with six innings of relief to earn the win but also the single that spurred the winning rally: With the Cubs […]
Morning, all! Jacob deGrom is a finalist for both the Comeback Player of the Year award and a Gold Glove, and Marcus Semien, Adolis Garcia, Wyatt Langford and Corey Seager are also Gold Glove finalists. The Rangers had a top five bullpen in 2025 and will have to do some work this offseason if they […]
Yesterday was the first day that Tennessee Titans players talked to the media since head coach Brian Callahan was fired on Monday. Most of the players gave the PR answer when asked about the firing. That is mostly what you would expect. There were a few, however, that said it was time for a change.
Earlier this school year, we saw Notre Dame unveil the first alternate leprechaun logo (football) of a new collection of sport-specific logos for its athletic teams. Now they continue the series with hockey… and it’s just as good as the football logo. From the ND press release: SOUTH BEND, IN – The University of Notre Dame […]

The Minnesota Golden Gophers (4-2) draw their first Friday night matchup of the season when they host the No. 25-ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers (5-1) at 7 p.m. CST on Friday, Oct. 17, at Huntington Bank Stadium. This Week’s Thoughts: gopherguy05: The Huskers have a good offense. Minnesota will need to play their best defensive game of the […]
The Tennessee Volunteers are probably the most lopsided team in college football. While they sport the nation’s top scoring offense, their defense is very nearly at the bottom of the entire country, giving up 29 points per game… They even gave up 26 points to Syracuse and 24 to UAB. Oof. Shoot, even East Tennessee […]
The #17 Wake Forest Demon Deacons (9-2-3, 3-1-2 ACC) continue their push for an ACC Tournament berth this evening as they travel to Clemson, SC to take on the Clemson Tigers (5-4-5, 2-3-2 ACC). For the Deacs, this game will be critical to their hopes of getting back into the ACC Tournament places, as, after […]
As the Jacksonville Jaguars prepare to face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7, we sat down with Evan Craig of Turf Show Times to learn more about the opposing side. Question 1: Just how important is Puka Nacua to the Rams’ offense — and after his ankle injury in Week 6, how concerned are […]
The NBA season gets underway in one week, and so far the NBA Illini are feeling very comfortable. With Kasparas Jakucionis and Will Riley being the two newest Illinois players to join the NBA, Coleman Hawkins signing an exhibit-10 contract with the Denver Nuggets, and Terrence Shannon Jr. continuing to shine for the Minnesota Timberwolves, […]
Major League Baseball named three Red Sox players as Gold Glove finalists yesterday: last year’s right field winner Wilyer Abreu, defensive staple Ceddanne Rafaela, and Carlos Narvaez, who is probably a top ten rookie of the year. It can’t be understated how much stability the 26-year-old from the Yankees organization provided the Red Sox in […]
I already penned one article pointing the finger at the Buffalo Bills’ offense for the loss to the Atlanta Falcons, and it felt so good I figured I’d come back for seconds. But seriously, while the last piece focused on attributing liability mostly to the offense, this one dives into the film to figure out […]
Right before Spring Training started for the 2025 season, the Orioles signed two veteran outfielders to “prove-it” deals. One of them went on to become a vital part of the lineup before being moved at the deadline in the Orioles’ fire sale. The other one was Dylan Carlson. In many ways, Carlson lived up to […]
Prior to the start of each season, the Draysbay community takes part in an excercise in which the top prospects in the Tampa Bay Rays system are ranked by popular vote. This season, the Draysbay community ranked the top 25 prospects in the Rays system with several others receiving votes but just falling shy of […]
The high of obliterating the hapless Baltimore Ravens 44-10 can only last so long. But hopefully that spark carries on for the next several months. Houston has rarely done well in nationally televised games, going 16-28 according to ChampsorChumps.us. A lot of those loses are due to short weeks, where the team didn’t have enough […]
