When the Arizona Cardinals hired Mike LaFleur, they knew he needed offensive players. 11 were signed in free agency, with four being along the offensive line. Then, in Round 1, the best offensive player in the entire draft, RB Jeremiyah Love out of Notre Dame, was taken with the #3 pick. RELATED: CARDINALS TAKE […]
Maryland baseball drove in seven runs within the first two innings against Michigan State, fueled by three home runs. While the Spartans attempted to close the deficit throughout the game, the Terps came out on top, tying their single-game season record with five home runs. Maryland dominated Michigan State,18-10, in the first game of the […]
Since splitting that strange four-game set with the Angels in the Mike Trout/Aaron Judge Show, the Yankees haven’t lost. They swept the Royals, shipped up to Boston and did the same to the Red Sox, and are now coming off a decisive win in Houston last night, their seventh in a row. The only bad […]
Mizzou baseball’s recent struggles continued Friday evening with a 6-0 loss against No. 24 Arkansas. The defeat clinches a third straight series loss in Southeastern Conference play and leaves the Tigers without an SEC win at home since their 12-11 victory over Auburn in May. 10 2024. The Tigers will have one more chance to […]

New York Post | Mark W. Sanchez: Among the many positives to come out of the Yankees’ sweep of the Red Sox was the first homer of the year from Jazz Chisholm Jr., who saw his OPS rise almost 60 points during the series. Chisholm credited a small mechanical tweak as a possible reason for […]
The Chicago Cubs (17-9) came into the series against the Dodgers (17-9) red hot having won nine straight games, their longest winning streak in 10 years. The Cubs couldn’t touch Emmet Sheehan in the series opener Friday at Dodger Stadium, but as soon as he came out Chicago pounced on the L.A. bullpen and scored […]
The Cincinnati Reds battled through another rough start by Andrew Abbott and a long weather delay on Friday in Great American Ball Park, doing so in the series opener against the Detroit Tigers on the weekend in which the team will induct four franchise icons into the team’s Hall of Fame. Matt McLain homered twice, […]
The Friday night starts have been an issue for the Huskers of late. Really only the Indiana series opener has gone the way Nebraska wanted out of the last 6 Fridays. They’ve had some big time comebacks, but living that life will eventually get you burned by a less talented team. “I didn’t have us […]
Charlotte Knights 11, Nashville Sounds 9The Knights pulled off their first three-game win streak of April in a duel that nearly came down to the wire. The bats steadily put up runs as the pitching slowly relented as the innings progressed. Jarred Kelenic, who is clinging to what prospect standing he retains after a rough […]
After playing one of its best all-around games in the series opener, Arizona followed it up with a certified stinker. It’s a pattern that’s become all too familiar for the Wildcats. “The season in a nutshell, just inconsistent and sloppy,” UA coach Chip Hale said after Friday’s 5-1 home loss to BYU at Hi Corbett […]
Mariners fans are still waiting for this offense to break through in the way we know they’re capable of, but in the meantime, please enjoy this Classic Mariners One-Run Win, featuring: a strong-n-long outing from a starter! A shutdown performance from the bullpen! And everyone’s favorite, Just Enough Offense! The Mariners got on the board […]
The Tigers continued their string of games against National League Central opponents on Friday night, in the opener of a three-game series against the Reds on the banks of the Ohio River. There was a big early lead which evaporated, and then a nice comeback for a late lead, but one final home run doomed […]
Other than the ones involving the major league team which we’ve covered elsewhere: Right-hander Jace Beck was promoted from Double-A Knoxville to Triple-A Iowa. Right-hander Ben Johnson was promoted to Knoxville from Low-A Myrtle Beach. Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs got spooked by the Louisville Bats (Reds), 5-4 in 11 innings. Trent Thornton was activated […]
The Yanks entered Friday night fresh off a sweep of mortal enemy Boston, getting this road trip off to a heck of a start. They turned to Will Warren, coming off one of the finest outings of his career, to keep the momentum going. But the Astros offense is different than Kansas City’s. Yordan Alvarez […]
Andre Pallante gave up the first run tonight because he was challenging hitters all over the zone, when he’s good at groundouts. Through two innings, the Mariners were up 1-0 because of an Arozarena double and a hit from Cole Young. While Pallante was struggling but mostly maintaining, the Mariners starting pitcher George Kirby was […]
Mariners 3, Cardinals 2 Space Needle: Eduard Bazardo, +.24 WPA St. Louis Arch: Julio Rodríguez, -.11 WPA Game Thread Comment of the Day: Hey, it’s only a bad slide if it doesn’t work.
For a second there, it seemed like South Side Sox recaps might simply turn into Munetaka Murakami home-run watches. Based on the flat start to Friday’s game, a fairly hapless team effort against a mediocre opponent, perhaps. But the Good Guys rallied late, scraping and scrapping their way to four runs in their final three […]
For much of the night, it looked like a step forward. And this time, they finished it. Behind a quietly brilliant outing from Michael Lorenzen and a lineup that adjusted as the game went on, the Colorado Rockies (11-16) defeated the New York Mets (9-17) 4–3 on Friday night at Citi Field. Lorenzen set the […]
The A’s sure needed that day off apparently. They marched into Texas this evening and looked like the better team in every facet of the game against the Rangers. That allowed the A’s to romp to a series-opening win and reclaim sole possession of first place in the AL West. Life is good. A’s ambush […]
The Miami Dolphins were looking to add some WR help, but the Giants beat them to it by trading in front of them to take Notre Dame's Malachi Fields.
The Texas Rangers scored a run but the West Coast Athletics scored eight runs. The Rangers donned their new Oklahoma Sooner college baseball uniforms and then Nathan Eovaldi allowed three home runs in the game’s first seven pitches and then like two and a half hours later here Texas is back at .500. Player of […]
It was a second straight heartbreaker as the Philadelphia Phillies (8-18) blew two leads en route to their 10th straight loss and fourth within that span to come at the hands of the rival Atlanta Braves (19-8) by a score of 5-3 on Friday Night Baseball. Andrew Painter made his fifth career start, his second […]
Guardians 8 Blue Jays 6 I really hated them signing Max Scherzer again this season (even if it was cute that his daughter wrote to the Jays to plea for them to sign him). I didn’t think Scherzer had much left last year, I couldn’t imagine he’d be any better this year. So far, I’m […]
The NFC East added some prominent pass rushers through the NFL Draft’s first two days. The New York Giants took Ohio State’s Arvell Reese with the No. 5 overall pick. The Dallas Cowboys added UCF edge rusher Malchi Lawrence at No. 23. The Philadelphia Eagles added one with, in part, a pick they didn’t even […]
