The Cincinnati Reds have leaned in to winning games by the thinnest of margins so far this season, their threadbare offense somehow coming up with particularly good timing while their bullpen pulls out all the stops to hold on. The results, so far, have been impeccable, with the Reds sporting a 13-8 record that has […]
Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman was placed on the paternity list on Sunday, as he and his wife Chelsea are expecting their fourth child, their first daughter to join their three sons.

Entering play on Sunday, April 19th, the American League only has five of its 15 teams with a positive run differential. Normally, a small number like that means there’s a great likelihood of it being a top-heavy league, but that’s not necessarily the case. In fact, for all the potential flaws that the Yankees have […]
On Saturday, manager Matt Quatraro gave Salvador Perez a day off for the first time since August of last year, when the team captain missed two games due to illness. Other than that, his most recent day off without an injury or illness concern was June 21, 2025. Perez has struggled to start the year, […]

The Mariners are in a hole. The Mariners have played 22 games this year, or about 13.5% of the 2026 season. They are 9-13 and in fourth place in the AL West. They’ve had losing streaks of four games and five games and haven’t looked particularly competent against anybody but the free-falling Astros. It’s been […]
Dodgers affiliates managed one win in five games on Saturday. Player of the day Tulsa first baseman Joe Vetrano hit a two-run home run in the first game of a doubleheader, then added two more hits in the nightcap, scoring the walk-off winner on an error.

Fernando Tatis Jr. still does not have a home run on the season and for San Diego Padres fans and the superstar right fielder, that is hard to comprehend. While the power has not shown up for Tatis Jr. after 20 games into the season, he has been an offensive contributor and proved that once […]

The most noteworthy events were JR Ritchie’s scoreless outing and big days from first rounder Tate Southisene as well as Nick Montgomery in Augusta.

Jameson Taillon did not look sharp early and then said as much during his postgame interview. But he got better as his start wore on. Just under half of Jameson’s starts as a Cub have been quality starts. We all know that not all quality starts are created equal. Without any digging, there are some […]
“Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.” — Alexander Pope Red Sox Nation expected quite a bit from the 2026 season, so this funk we’re in feels particularly brutal. It’s a sad state of affairs when disappointment settles in, like a thick bank of fog, even before mid-April has rolled around. […]
The Mariners mercifully broke the losing streak last night with a convincing 7-3 win over the Rangers last night. With how streaky the team has been to start the year, we can only hope this marks the beginning of a long winning streak, if only to get my day job manager to shut up. Anybody […]

On the afternoon of October 7, 1995, Scott Kamieniecki prepared to take the mound at the Kingdome for what would be the pinnacle of his Yankees tenure.

Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (11-9) GAME 1: SYRACUSE 9, SCRANTON/WILKES-BARRE 4 / 7 (BOX) Four home runs in a seven inning game is a pretty good way to get a win.

The New York Giants were surprised, others were […]
Mariners 7, Rangers 3
Meet the Mets The Mets fell to the Cubs 4-2 to drop their tenth straight. Mark Vientos got Mets on the board early with a towering solo homer off Jameson Taillon in the second, but the lead was short lived, as Freddy Peralta yielded a monster shot of his own to Ian Happ in the […]
Inside the Fortescue decision, the Fox and Gavrikov happiness question, and a wide-open debate about where the Rangers go from here.
The Yankees were one of the first teams in action yesterday, and quickly set about making the Royals one of the first teams out of action. It all turned into the Yanks’ first big blowout of the year, as they smoked KC with four homers in a 13-4 score. Huzzah! The only downside was that […]
