For the first time this year, all four Yankees full-season affiliates were in action this past week, as Somerset, Hudson Valley, and kicked off their seasons on Friday night while Scranton put in a full week of work. Some bad weather led to several postponements around the system, but we got to see a great […]
The Yankees had an excellent first week and a half of the season, winning three series in a row en route to a 7-2 start. Their pitching was fantastic, their offense was carried by a stellar top-half of the order, and even their two losses came in games in which they led late and only […]
The Athletic | Chris Kirschner: Over the weekend, the Yankees faced the Marlins, and Miami have been doing something you might not have realized. Starting towards the end of last season, the Marlins have begun calling pitches in the dugout via the coaching staff and relaying them to the catcher and the pitcher. Don’t expect […]
If you’re wondering why the San Francisco Giants have won just three of their first eight games, well, the answer is very simple: they’re playing remarkably sloppy and dispirited baseball. If you’re wondering why they’re playing remarkably sloppy and dispirited baseball, well … that answer is not so simple. The search for that answer keeps […]
The triple option is draft heavy today for Notre Dame, and it will likely stay that way until the NFL Draft is over. Here we go… A GIANT DECISION If the Tennessee Titans decide to pass on running back Jeremiyah Love, the New York Giants will have a big decision to make. Do they use […]
It wasn’t Andrew Painter’s best start. It just wasn’t. In the four-inning, 90-pitch outing for the rookie right-hander, there was bad command, which led to hitters’ counts and good swings from the Giants offense. That San Francisco offense might not have capitalized in the first. After back-to-back singles from Luis Arraez and Matt Chapman, he […]
Welcome to the 2026 Transfer Portal season. The portal is officially open and the information is about to start flowing. We’ve got an amended roster count, and it’s a lot lighter than it was just a few days ago. That isn’t a surprise, the portal is easy to get into. For players, coaches, and fans. […]

Forget the 9-9-9 challenge. The Rockies completed the 14-8-5 challenge on Monday night. The Rockies sent 14 batters to the plate and scored eight runs in the fifth inning to go from trailing 3-0 to surging ahead 8-3 on their way to an ultimate 9-7 win against the Astros. Juan Mejia closed out the game […]
In the top of the first inning, Drake Baldwin homered again to give the Braves an early 1-0 lead over the Angels. Baldwin’s incredible sophomore campaign has been something to behold. And that’s where the fun ended on Monday night. Jose Soriano absolutely cooked the Braves for eight innings, allowing just the one run on […]
On a frigid night in Minnesota, the Twisn perservered while the Tigers continued to make a mess of things, falling 7-3 in the first of four in the Twin Cities. The Tigers continued to draw tons of walks and then fail to cash in baserunners, while the usual rollercoaster that is Casey Mize followed a […]
For those unfamiliar with the tradition, the combination of Buzzfeed listicle, treasure hunt, airing of the grievances, and prix fixe tasting menu that my people call Passover—occurring this week—includes a segment in which the youngest child present asks a series of questions designed to elicit why this night is different from all other nights. Taking […]
Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve got a series-opening win on our hands! The top half of the lineup woke up, Joe Ryan battled through some cold middle innings, and the bullpen worked around some very poor Twins defense, but a win is a win! Things were looking good through three innings. Joe Ryan was perfect and […]
It was a cold-night mix of sharp pitching and sloppy play, and despite a ninth-inning push, the White Sox managed just four hits in an anticlimactic end to their win streak. The Orioles didn’t do much better, though, with just seven hits. Both teams wasted the first inning, each stranding a player on second. Erick […]
The San Diego Padres needed a good start from German Marquez and he provided exactly that with five shutout innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates to open the three-game series at PNC Park on Monday. The former Colorado Rockies ace allowed six hits and just one walk with five strikeouts. Marquez, who struggled in his first […]
Dodgers 14 at Blue Jays 2 The last two games I recapped were one run, extra inning losses. Tonight was…not that. The Dodgers picked up right where they left off last fall when they were last here clubbing long balls, and it’s generally not going to be a good night when the other team has […]
The Texas Rangers scored two runs while the Seattle Mariners scored one run. In a battle between the league’s two best starters from Stetson University who happen to also be two of the best starters in the American League, Jacob deGrom out-dueled Logan Gilbert as the Rangers finally won a home game even if they […]

Box Score The Milwaukee Brewers took down the Boston Red Sox in a chaotic, long, cold game by an 8-6 final on Monday night. The Crew looked like they’d get things going early, as William Contreras singled and Christian Yelich doubled off the Green Monster to put runners at second and third with one out. […]
After losing three games in a row over the weekend, the Orioles needed a win. And a win is what they got, even if it was a little too close for comfort. The offense was sluggish, this time against a team with a 6.19 ERA so far this year. Ryan Helsley struggled in the ninth […]

For such a cold environment for a baseball game, the Royals hitters sure seemed red-hot today. I realize that’s not something you usually say after a simple 4-2 victory, but there was a ton of loud contact. Carter Jensen’s home run in the sixth inning was a 111mph scorching line drive that just barely cleared […]
How about this Washington Nationals offense folks! Despite some bullpen shenanigans, the Nats snapped their five game losing streak with a comeback win against the Cardinals. The Nats started the game well and ended it well. In the end, that was enough to give them a 9-6 win. James Wood also looks to be getting […]

The Cincinnati Reds swept the Texas Rangers in their first road series of the 2026 regular season, and their road exploits didn’t stop on Monday in their 2-0 series opening win against the Miami Marlins.
