Triple-A: Gwinnett Stripers (Braves) 7, Norfolk Tides 2 The Tides gave up three runs in the first inning and it was basically over from there. At least starter Trace Bright nearly threw a quality start despite that first-inning run outburst, holding the Stripers scoreless for the rest of his 5.2-inning performance. But two runs apiece […]
Last year there were 12 starting pitchers selected to the MLB All-Star Game rosters. Guess who are number 10 and 11 by WAR right now? Mike Soroka is still 10th in WAR with one less start than Bryce Elder. Of course, WAR isn’t going to completely determine the selections, but they have had pretty similar […]
Meet the Mets The Mets shut out the Padres 5-0 behind a strong performance from Christian Scott, who earned his second major league victory. Jared Young and Luis Torrens both homered for the Mets and Bo Bichette contributed a key RBI triple in the third. The Mets’ bullpen was solid yet again with Huascar Brazobán […]
Many football fans will hate-watch the Los Angeles Rams in 2026 following their blockbuster trade for Myles Garrett. The Rams have become the NFL’s version of the Dodgers, a star-studded powerhouse willing to do whatever it takes to win, and being disliked comes with the territory. If you know anything about the MLB, you already […]
With over two months of the Minor League Baseball season in the books, it’s time to check in on some of the top prospects in the Houston Astros‘ farm system. Houston’s system, frankly, is one of the more lackluster ones in baseball, as they failed to have a single prospect crack Just Baseball’s Top 100 […] The post Houston Astros Farm Report: May 2026 appeared first on Just Baseball .
Kade Morris is set to make his Major League debut today when the Athletics right-hander gets the start against the Astros. Morris will take on a Houston lineup boosted by the return of Jose Altuve, who was activated from the 10-day injured list yesterday and went 1-for-4 in the Astros’ 5-1 win over the A’s […]
Last week, when I was reading Sam’s piece about the messy state of much of the American League, I was struck by how many teams now mired in a rut were considered by many prognosticators to be contenders coming into the season. The AL East was supposed to be a four-horse race between New York, […]
Roki Sasaki, Chris Sale, Justin Wrobleski
Mauricio Dubón and the Atlanta Braves had a successful night after Friday’s 6-3 defeat of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Braves improved to 43-21 and are 20-11 at Truist Park. Dubón continued his hot streak, and in four at-bats, he recorded two hits, three RBI, and two runs. He’s homered in three straight games and is […]
Roki Sasaki did not figure in the decision on Friday night, through no fault of his own as he struck out his MLB-high 10 Angels in seven scoreless frames. The right-hander has allowed five total runs (four earned) over 24 1/3 innings in his last four starts, with 29 strikeouts against only five walks. You […]
Yesterday, it was reported that Eddie Haas, former Atlanta Braves manager – and long-time member of the organization – passed away on June 4 at 91. Eddie has had a brief MLB career, debuting with the Chicago Cubs in 1957 and then playing in 41 games with the Milwaukee Braves across the 1958 and 1960 […]
Bo Melton attempted a radical change from wide receiver to cornerback last summer. At the time, some speculated it was a last-ditch effort to make the team in some capacity. Melton made the squad but didn’t log a snap at cornerback in the regular season.
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
Good morning, baseball fans! Another week of San Francisco Giants baseball comes to a close this weekend, which means it’s time to make our picks for Player of the Week! It should come as absolutely no surprise that my pick for this week is Jung Hoo Lee! As of the time I am writing this, […]
Zac Veen (No. 9 PuRP) was the player I hoped would be my favorite Rockie by now. Hope can be an unfair thing to put on a prospect. Prospects are projections, not guarantees. Their timelines are rarely clean, and prospects should not become stand-ins for what we wish our baseball team was. But fans do […]
Chaim Bloom and the Cardinals front office have spent the last year feverishly adding as much pitching talent to the farm system as possible. As ORSTLcardsfan noted in his article yesterday, this has been a “re-stock the pitching pipeline” year. I think most of us were happy with the pitchers and types of pitchers brought […]
Today’s Reflections I could post more PCA stories (and I probably did too many), but after I went through and posted the supportive and the mixed stories about his play, I came across a couple of closed-minded, well, fellows, who were looking for a new target for the shooting range. One guy’s title was “The […]
Good morning Birdland, There was a whole lot of goodness in the Orioles 13-3 beatdown of the Blue Jays on Friday night, and perhaps just one small (for now) thing to worry about. First, the good news. The Orioles looked amazing, even if it took a little while for the offense to get it going. […]
The Baltimore Orioles have consistently boasted one of the top farm systems in all of baseball. But many of those stars have now graduated to the big leagues or have been traded elsewhere. Former top prospects like Samuel Basallo, Jackson Holliday, and Gunnar Henderson are now household names in the major leagues. That means Orioles […] The post Top Early Standouts in the Baltimore Orioles Farm System appeared first on Just Baseball .
The Red Sox probably shouldn’t be buying with this roster, but if they choose to, there’s a mystery for us to pick apart. ESPN’s Buster Olney reported on the “Just Baseball” podcast that the Red Sox were actively seeking a right-handed bat to upgrade the offense, even at the expense of taking on a bad […]
Cardinals History By The Numbers Johnny Unitas dropped back against Houston in 1951 and connected on a pass that would land him in the record books. On October 9, 2021, seventy years later, quarterback Malik Cunningham matched Johnny Unitas’ distance on the very first play from scrimmage for the Cards, against Virginia. Cunningham set his […]
Heading into this series, the O's averaged 5.16 runs per game since '22 at RC
The underlying metrics suggest Misiorowski's dominance is only beginning.
What is the bare minimum you are expecting from Adolis Garcia the rest of this season? My hopes of his breaking out at any point have effectively been dashed by his poor play on the field, but I still reserve hope that he can at least be a threat in the box at any given […]
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 4-0 at Syracuse Mets — as the headline says, a combined no-no for the RailRiders, their first since a shortened seven-inning effort in 2021 SS George Lombard Jr. 0-4, BB, 3 KDH Jasson Domínguez 0-4, K — first rehab appearance since his left-field wall collision in the Bronx PR-DH Ernesto Martinez […]
