Blue Jays 3 Twins 4 That was irritating. Joe Ryan left the game with a sore elbow after walking the second batter and we had to think we had a good chance. But no. Trey Yesavage wasn’t good, but then only gave up one run. In four innings he allowed five hits, three walks and […]
This really is a whole new era because the new boss is nothing like the old boss.
And there it is. After all the rumors and predictions, the Toronto Maple Leafs have officially hired Mats Sundin and John Chayka to run their new hockey operations department, per insider Elliotte Friedman. An official announcement is coming today. Elliotte Friedman reports that the Leafs have hired John Chayka as GM and Mats Sundin as Senior Executive Advisor pic.twitter.com/jUR9OR37pV — TheLeafsNation (@TLNdc) May 3, 2026 The titles will have Leafs legend Mats Sundin as the Seni...
The Twins sent Joe Ryan to the bump this morning—the Peacock MLB Sunday Wakeup special—hoping for a series split. He lasted all of two batters before leaving with an undisclosed injury. It would be an unexpected bullpen game featuring the worst pen in baseball. My thoughts at the exact moment: how many innings will Kody […]
The First Round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs concludes today with two Game 7 matchups on the slate! First, the Detroit Pistons will take on the Orlando Magic. Then the Cleveland Cavaliers will face the Toronto Raptors. Hang out here and discuss all the action with fellow fans! Here’s the GameDay info (all start times […]
Game four of four. A win would mean a series win. And a win would bring us back to .500 for the first time since April 4th. They are 6-2 over the last 8 games. And it is a Trey Yesavage start. 5.1 shutout innings in his first start. The Jays made some minor league […]
First Chuck: 11:45 AM CDT (new anthem each week!) The Tube: NBCSN/Peacock The Dial: Treasure Island Baseball Network Spies ‘R Us: Bluebird Banter A few weeks ago, the Toronto Blue Jays & Minnesota Twins clashed in a tight series that saw MN quite unexpectedly take two-of-three from the defending champs. Film fans will know that […]
Good morning, everyone. With the first round just about completed (there is one game to be played as of this writing), it is time to make an update to our Stanley Cup Playoffs Open Post. You can see the original post here, but let’s dive into the new matchups. The Schedule: Here is the Second […]
“We went down early, but we just stuck to our game. The power play came through, as did the PK. That’s just a nice team win, which gives us a lot of confidence to go back home to play in front of our fans.” – William Villeneuve The resiliency of the bounce back of being […] The post Easton Cowan makes his mark as Toronto Marlies storm back to tie series in Laval appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
The Yankees offense keeps on rolling, scoring nine in a rout of the Orioles to make it 16 runs scored in the first two games of the series. The starting rotation also continues to shine, Will Warren and Ryan Weathers both giving up just one earned run to Baltimore respectively across play on Friday and […]
The Toronto Maple Leafs are going to name a new management regime on Monday, and with John Chayka and Mats Sundin leading the charge, don't be surprised to see them use the team's goaltending depth to make a trade, and help reallocate some resources on the Leafs' roster. Joseph Woll has the most trade value out of any of the four goalies Toronto has on their roster. He's five years younger than Anthony Stolarz, has two years left on his contract at just $3.6 million AAV, and his limited no-tra...
The Toronto Raptors aren’t supposed to be here. But they are anyway, and it’s the best-case scenario for a team surviving mostly off their instincts. They’ve learned to live with injuries to key players and miraculously adapted to the harsh environment of playoff basketball. They have one last mountain to climb in their Game 7 […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers had plenty of chances to end this series in Game 6 on Friday night. They didn’t come out with the effort they needed, the late-game offense was bad, and a costly turnover with the shot clock off cost them a chance to put the game away at the line. They need to […]
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley was adamant that his turnover in the closing seconds of overtime wasn’t off of him. “I felt like it was our ball,” Mobley said afterward. “They called it different.” He was then asked if it was off Toronto Raptors forward Collin Murray-Boyles. Mobley confirmed that Murray-Boyles “hit the ball out.” […]
As the Lakers were beginning their beatdown of the Rockets in Game 6 on Friday, the Raptors were helping them in a very dramatic way. In the final seconds of overtime in Toronto, RJ Barrett channeled his inner Tyrese Haliburton and connected on a three to force a Game 7 against the Cavaliers. For a […]
We ought to have a boilerplate template for 2026 Twins recaps, because it feels like every time the Twins lose this season, it’s for exactly the same reasons as I am about to describe. Another encouraging start from a young arm was emphatically erased by possibly the most predictably incompetent bullpen you’ve ever seen in […]
Blue Jays 11 Twins 4 Jays did everything they needed to do in the top of the eighth: But there was also bad news, George Springer took a pitch off the, already broken, toe and had to come out of the game. I’d imagine he’ll be back on the IL. I was wrong the Jays […]
The Toronto Maple Leafs have had a disastrous regular season and found themselves in a typical postseason scenario: golfing. With former general manager Brad Treliving being fired, and Keith Pelley asserting himself in the front office, things are changing for the Maple Leafs ahead of the 2026-27 NHL season. It was reported today by Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun that the Maple Leafs would announce the new arrivals of John Chayka as general manager and former Maple Leaf forward M...

First Pitch: 1:10 pm CDTTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN / WCCO 830 / The Wolf 102.9 FM / Audacy This week, I had free tickets to my first two Target Field games of the year, the deflating Tuesday night loss against the Seattle Mariners, and the series-opening victory against these very same Toronto Blue Jays. I wish I could say […]
Today’s game is a 2:00 starts. It made it nice for me, I could enjoy the Newcastle United win without leaving it at the end. I haven’t had enough Newcastle wins this year. Andrés Giménez isn’t in the lineup again today. After yesterday’s error, I was wondering if he was 100%. He didn’t look right. […]
