The Mets are (probably) one better third-base coach decision away from being 3-0 on the young season, but there’s an issue that has already reared its head in all three games of 2026 thus far: the bullpen. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but the Mets are coming off a season where their […]
For the second straight year, the New York Yankees are opening their season up with a convincing sweep. This time around, the pitching staff led the way as they delivered two shutouts followed by a one-run performance in the finale on Saturday, though the offense more than arrived as well with a seven-run outpouring to […]
The bullpen was the lone bright spot for the San Francisco Giants in what was otherwise a miserable opening series sweep against the New York Yankees. But that didn’t keep the team from seeking an upgrade, just a few days into the season. On Monday afternoon, ahead of their second series of the year (against […]
Welcome back to Monday Stat Party, a weekly series showcasing the most curious and nostalgia-inducing statistical developments from the past week of Mets baseball. These can be as high-profile as becoming the youngest MLB player to homer, steal, and walk on Opening Day, or as obscure as setting a team record for the most double-digit […]
The Jets have announced the jersey numbers of new players acquired during the 2026 offseason Two players on this list are returning to the Jets. Geno Smith is a former Jets second round pick. He played with the team from 2013 through 2016. Demario Davis is a former Jets third round pick. This will be […]
It’s hard to be a good team without being a good clutch team. Of the 12 teams currently in a playoff spot (plus Philly, who’s on the cusp of it), 10 of them are in the top 11 in clutch net rating (the other team is Milwaukee, somehow). The others are Minnesota (15th), Denver (20th), […]
The 2026 Major League Baseball regular season is officially underway, and the Yankees have begun their “run it back” season without a hitch after a three-game series sweep against the Giants. The first two games, including the first MLB game of 2026, were shutouts in favor of the visiting Bombers. Max Fried continued his dominance […]
The 1970s were a pivotal time for baseball labor relations and player negotiating power, that decade bringing about the end of the reserve clause and the advent of free agency. There are several trailblazing names associated with that movement, chief among them Curt Flood. But nearly as important in terms of setting a precedent to […]
The baseball gods are rarely kind enough that all the Yankees’ rivals lose on the same day. Yesterday, the exact opposite almost happened. But Boston lost, and that’s always nice. They’re also about to play the Astros and guarantee that at least one of our collective nemeses will lose each of the next few days. […]
The results are in from the latest SB Nation Reacts poll, which launched on March 25th, the doomed Opening Night. Regardless of that game and the one that followed, San Francisco Giants fans remain bullish about the teams chances going forward. Well, okay, maybe not bullish. Positive. 55% of the vote went away from 86 […]
Walking away with two wins in four games against that very pesky and tough Guardians ballclub was a decent way to start the season. Even though the results didn’t exactly line up with their performance, there were a bunch of encouraging things we saw from the Mariners during Opening Weekend. The bottom of the lineup […]
In watching Sean Manaea’s 2026 debut from the stands at Citi Field, it looked like the likable lefty was getting away with something against the Pirates. Velocity isn’t everything when it comes to pitching, but it definitely matters. Manaea averaged 89 miles per hour with his fastball yesterday afternoon, and his sweeper averaged just 75 […]
The New Jersey Devils have been out of the playoff mix for a while now, but at the very least, they could sort of fool themselves into thinking they were still alive based on how many games were left in the season. But as Chris discussed in the preview for yesterday’s game, the embarrassing loss […]
Mike and Dan recap a week in which the Islanders made us mad, then happy, then both in the same day before celebrating the Rangers elimination with a new Ranger Piece Theatre. The pendulum swung every way possible last week for the Islanders. An inexcusable loss to the lowly Blackhawks made the season look over. […]
In an interview with NFL Network over the weekend, Jets head coach Aaron Glenn stated there is “no doubt” that Geno Smith will be the team’s starting quarterback As the Jets roster is currently constructed, it is rather obvious that Geno is currently the first team quarterback. The bigger question is what will happen if […]
The Knicks lost the finals preview against the Thunder, but most worryngly we got the “still learning the system” talk back. New York has a handful of games left, is bound to finish with the third or fourth seed, and they better avoid the latter if they don’t want to suffer. Here’s the latest set […]
Coming off a series victory in their opening weekend in front of the Flushing Faithful, the Mets (2-1) look to keep bring that same energy on the road as they face the Cardinals (2-1). New York took four of six from St. Louis in 2025, including a sweep at Citi Field in April. They won […]
Another win they probably shouldn't have. The kids are doing the thing—for better or worse.
For the third consecutive year, the Yankees have begun the season by sweeping their first series of the calendar. This year’s opening series was a tour de force of pitching, as Yankee hurlers held the Giants to just one run across all 27 innings of their time in the Bay. Now they head up to […]
