It wasn’t the triumphant return we’d hoped for from the Biebs. When a command guy like Shane Bieber isn’t hitting his spots, it can turn into batting practice pretty quickly. That’s about what happened here. He was catching too much of the plate too often, and Houston’s hitters teed off. Combined with the rare Tyler […]

Each of the past 2 seasons, the Astros depended on pitchers returning from injury, with less than optimal results. This season is no different, and the team is counting on […]
“Is this just not our year?” These are never the words that an NBA fan wants to hear from their general manager. If a team is rebuilding, it goes without saying. If they’re competitive, it’s a brutal concession. Yet, those were the words that came out of Rafael Stone’s mouth as the 2025-26 NBA trade […]
