Good morning Birdland, The baseball was electric on Friday night! In Game 5 of the ALCS, the Mariners got back to winning in emphatic fashion. Eugenio Suárez’s eighth-inning grand slam off of friend Seranthony Domínguez had T-Mobile Park rocking. That series heads back to Toronto with the Mariners up 3-2. Shohei Ohtani (almost) single-handedly beat […]
It was a spectacular day of baseball yesterday, Seattle and Toronto kicking things off with a thriller, and Shohei Ohtani putting on a Friday night show to cinch their second-consecutive pennant. After a long year of ups and downs, it’s once again the Dodgers who capture the pennant, and they’ll await a winner from the […]
To fit in with the Blue Jays series, the Kraken have been sent to Toronto.
We may have witnessed – in Game 4 of the 2025 NLCS – the greatest performance in a major league baseball game by a single player. Shohei Ohtani won the MVP award (after being introduced as "the greatest baseball player on the planet") largely because of his unprecedented performance in the Dodgers' pennant-winning 5-1 victory on Friday night in Los Angeles, finishing off a dominating sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers (who had won all six of the games the two teams played d...
Despite the Toronto Blue Jays playing in game five of the ALCS nearly 4,000 miles away, baseball fever coursed through the confines of the Scotiabank Arena, where the Toronto Raptors defeated the Brooklyn Nets 119-114 on Friday. Both Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic and Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez fielded questions from the media before […]
The Brooklyn Nets played their fourth and final preseason game on Friday night, visiting the Toronto Raptors. Viewers can only hope the first half wasn’t a true preview of their regular season. Not only did Brooklyn fall behind by double-digit immediately — though that part might not bother many — but they looked overmatched by […]
Jays 2 Mariners 6 So that eighth inning was the only one that mattered. Brendon Little came in. People don’t like him but he’s been good this season. Cal Raleigh hit one that just cleared the left field wall. 348 feet homer in 14/32 parks. Four feet less would have been nice. Little gave up […]

Are you a free-agent pitcher who has a four-seam fastball in the 93rd percentile for velocity and the 83rd percentile for extension? Well, then, the Astros might have interest in you. They probably had interest in Nate Pearson for those very reasons. A former first-round pick in 2017 and top prospect of the Blue Jays, […]
