Jordan Walker’s first month has contained some of the highest highs any player is ever going to reach, and some familiar lows. How do we rationalize what we’ve seen so far? We’re about one month into the baseball season for the 2026 St. Louis Cardinals. In the grand sweep of the season, this is but […]
Cubs 6, Diamondbacks 5: Phil Maton and Jacob Webb come through
Cubs vs. Diamondbacks, Friday 5/1, 1:20 CT live!
Chicago Cubs vs. Arizona Diamondbacks preview, Friday 5/1, 1:20 CT
We’ve seen plenty of discussion surrounding where draft analysts and fans thought prospects would go, but not enough analysis on the players. We will never truly know where these players would have been picked. The San Francisco Chronicle’s Eric Branch wrote a column where a current general manager said, “My guess would have been in […]
Raiders News: Tucker Faces Pivotal Final Contract Year with Raiders in Full Rebuild Tre Tucker had as good a season as the Las Vegas Raiders offense would allow in 2025. He finished as the team’s leading wide receiver with 696 yards and 57 receptions, set career highs across the board, and remained one of the [...]
Despite the Cleveland Cavaliers walking away from Game 5 with a 3-2 series lead, they still haven’t fully instilled confidence as a bona fide contender. In many ways, Cleveland’s wins have felt more tied to Toronto’s limitations and mistakes than the Cavaliers consistently imposing their own identity and style of basketball over extended stretches of […]

Over the last five quarters of this series, I haven’t recognized this version of the Celtics. While there have been flashes, they haven’t consistently looked like the team that got them here. So far in these playoffs, Boston has the third-highest isolation frequency among playoff teams. For a roster built around depth and decision-making, that […]
Here we are again, the end of another season that will ultimately end in League One consolidation rather than celebration, and we are all left pondering what might have been. It was only four weeks ago that Reading sat firmly in the playoff picture, looking to extend a 46-game season to 48 or even 49 […]
Somerset Patriots 9, Portland Sea Dogs 6 (BOX) Franklin Arias went four games without hitting a home run and I was starting to get concerned. That changed in dramatic fashion in the top of the ninth on Thursday night, when Arias tied the Sea Dogs game at 6-6 on a two run bomb to center. […]
Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool is making an NFL comeback. The former second round pick has been invited to Green Bay Packers rookie minicamp for a tryout, per Matt Schneidman. Claypool was drafted by the Steelers in 2020 and had an electrifying rookie season, catching 62 passes for 873 yards and nine touchdowns. […]
We decided to give our readers a chance to wrap up the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2026 NFL draft calls with their final thoughts (actually, go ahead and talk about it here as long as you wish) as our Tuesday community question this week. Here are some of your responses: MoonPiesporTodos Overall, very happy with it. […]
Three former Kentucky Wildcats have received invites to the NBA Combine. Malachi Moreno, Otega Oweh, and Jayden Quaintance are among 73 players who have been invited to the combine this year to work out in front of NBA scouts and front-office personnel. The player most Kentucky fans will be watching closely is Moreno. Moreno has […]
From the perspective of Matthew Stafford’s wife Kelly, he could still be starting for the Los Angeles Rams when Ty Simpson’s rookie contract expires. During an Instagram Q&A, Kelly Stafford was asked if her husband could play at least 4 more years, to which she responded “I could see that happening” on the contingency that […]
Edmonton has taken the crown for the most disappointing playoffs, we can now move on.
Injuries will always play a factor in the NHL playoffs. Every team is going to deal with them at some point, but for the Edmonton Oilers, they piled up early. They entered the postseason with Leon Draisaitl recovering from a medical collateral ligament injury in his knee, Zach Hyman dealing with something that kept him…
The Miami Dolphins drafted two players from Texas Tech in this year's draft, and they have already played in a big game at their new home stadium.
The New York Mets (10-21) travel across the continent to face the Los Angeles Angels (12-20) for the start of (another) western swing. At this very moment, the Mets are having one of the three worst starts to a season in franchise history, being even more inept at baseball than the famously inept 1962 Mets, […]
Barcelona have pretty big plans for the summer as they try to give Hansi Flick a better, more complete squad to compete in all fronts next season. But they might have to make some tough decisions. The dream signings are well known — Julián Alvarez and Alessandro Bastoni are the favorite striker and center-back targets […]
Past summaries: How did the Braves do recently? The Braves went 10-3 since we last checked in. No team did better; the Yankees and Cubs matched this pace from April 16 through the end of the month. That’s a 125-win pace over a full season, which is absurd… but that’s what the Braves managed. The […]
We’ve turned the calendar to May, which means it’s time for postseason lacrosse with semifinal day at the ACC Tournament from American Legion Memorial Stadium in Charlotte. The No. 3 seed Syracuse Orange are coming off a bad second half last weekend, and got beaten up in the regular season when they played today’s opponent, […]
Another week, another Baseball America staff draft to cover. Why not? I love the draft, probably because it was the only chance for hope for much of the Al Avila years; even now, with the Detroit Tigers in first place, I can’t shake the habit. So here we are yet again. A ‘Staff Draft’ is […]
For much of his professional career, Cade Cavalli was somewhat of a myth to Nationals fans. A 2020 1st round pick with loads of upside, blazing his way through the minor leagues with electrifying stuff. He got a taste of the bigs in 2022, but an elbow injury during 2023 Spring Training kept him out […]
Stubborn Newcastle manager Eddie Howe insists he expects to remain the head coach of the Magpies next season after his meeting with the club’s board and PIF on Thursday, despite mounting pressure after a disastrous season in Tyneside. The meeting with the Public Investment Fund arrived after a poor stretch that has left Newcastle 14th […]
If college football truly shifts to a full-scale Week 0 model for every FBS team, it would be one of the biggest structural changes since the College Football Playoff expansion. And like most NCAA decisions, the ripple effects would stretch far beyond simply kicking off a week earlier. College football leaders have discussed moving all […]
