Saturday was quite an unforgettable birthday for Will Smith. Not only did his two daughters throw out the first pitch and not only was Saturday Smith’s bobblehead commemorating his go-ahead home run from Game 7 last year, but he also drilled a go-ahead two-run home run in the bottom of the eighth inning to mark […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (1-1) WORCESTER 5, SYRACUSE 3 (BOX) For the second time in as many days, Syracuse scored three runs, but this time, they surrendered five and suffered their first loss of the 2026 campaign. Joander Suarez gave up the first couple of those runs in his first start of the year, and Jonathan […]
I admit that I have my PCA jersey on. We had Chicago dogs for lunch and I have one Old Style left from a trip to Rocco’s a bit ago. Much more noise has been made about his deal than Nico Hoerner’s, as Pete has been anointed the new ‘face’. I suspect PCA is equal […]
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 7, Nashville Sounds (MIL) 6 – F/10 The Tides and Sounds played a back-and-forth game last night that saw five lead changes before it ended in extras. The bad news is that the Tides blew a three-run lead in the ninth inning. The good news is that the final lead change was […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Now that we’re getting back into the swing of the regular season, it’s time to find out what everyone’s favorite highlights of the week were! I am, once again, at a distinct disadvantage because as of the time this is being written there has only been one game played this week, […]
The Rockies played their last two spring training games and their first two regular season games this week. So far in the regular season, they’re 0-2 but there have been some moments of brightness. TJ Rumfield made his MLB debut, knocked his first MLB hit and launched his first MLB home run in his first […]
The Arizona Cardinals hired a new head coach who just so happens to be offensive-minded. Mike LaFleur came from the Los Angeles Rams, who use the West Coast offense and have been the poster child of potent offenses. And now, LaFleur is bringing the success of the Rams and similar systems, such as the San […]
Somewhere, at some point, Bob Uecker would have been proud of that game yesterday. Except for that whole getting a second hit thing in the ninth inning. Thanks, Alec, for ruining my joke for today. And, you know, the rest of the team for making it a ballgame. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB […]
Hello, friends. The Orioles just can’t let us feel good about them for long, huh? The vibes were great yesterday afternoon around the Shane Baz contract extension, with excitement for the near future of the team from the front office and from a good number of the players. If only they could have sustained those […]
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: Postponed at Buffalo Bisons — Sorry folks, nothing to report today. Yesterday’s game was postponed due to cold, scheduled to be made up as part of a doubleheader this afternoon. Carlos Lagrange is scheduled to go, so hopefully they can make it through the action without incident. Here’s the full press release from […]
I bet a few of you would like to revise your preseason picks from last week! After all, few would have forecast a weekend sweep to open the season, even on the road against a formidable Milwaukee team. Sorry though, no take-backs. Yes, we asked you how many wins the White Sox would end up […]
A five-run first inning was all the Missouri Tigers (18-18, 3-5 SEC) needed to secure their first SEC series win over the Auburn Tigers (23-12, 2-6) on Saturday afternoon at Jane B Moore Memorial Softball Complex. With such a head start, the black & gold Tigers needed to just hold on and keep the potent […]
Three games, three wins! It’s hard to do much better than that, the Yankees starting off their season with a sweep for the second year in a row. The shape of the sweep was much different this time around though, as this season’s Yankees have used phenomenal pitching to quell the Giants, while the 2025 […]
Liverpool are not shy about splashing the cash, if and when truly outstanding players come onto the market. Florian Wirtz, Virgil van Dijk, and Alisson Becker are all great examples of this. Liverpool are also not opposed to bringing in older, more experienced players if the price is right, for example James Milner and Thiago […]
The Athletic | Chris Kirschner: The streak came to an end after the Giants scored in the third inning on Saturday, but the Yankees opened the season with 20 consecutive scoreless innings, including two shutouts in the first two games. Even missing some of the most important pieces through injury, Yankees’ pitching — from Max […]
The Mariners picked up their first singles of the season but couldn’t get much action until too late. The Mariners entered the ninth inning Saturday with six hits and six walks and just two runs to show for it. They trailed the Guardians 3-2 when Cole Young leadoff the inning by plopping a a soft […]
Well, that was disappointing. Not only did we lose another game to the Doyers at Uniqlo Park at Dodger Stadium at Chavez Latrine at the City of Smog and Angels, we also managed to be on the business end of our first sweep of the year. And we’re only three games in. So that sucks. […]
The Athletics’ rough season-opening series continued this afternoon as the team’s bullpen blew a late four-run lead to the Toronto Blue Jays, who ultimately prevailed 8-7 in 11 innings. This game started out slowly as both A’s starting pitcher Jeffrey Springs and his Blue Jays counterpart Dylan Cease pitched well in the game’s early going. […]
Guardians 6, Mariners 5 Good: Julio Rodríguez, +0.40 WPABad: Andrés Muñoz, -0.47 WPA Game Thread Comment of the Day
LOS ANGELES — After catching the first two games of the opening series, Will Smith wasn’t even supposed to be in the lineup on Saturday, which was his 31st birthday and his bobblehead giveaway at Dodger Stadium. “I didn’t have him in there tonight. He really wanted to be in there on his bobblehead night, […]

Well the Braves are 2-0, on a breezy complete victory on Opening Day and an epic walk-off grand-slam on Saturday. Before the walk-off, it was reassuring to see Reynaldo Lopez’ velocity back up in the mid-90s and his stuff generally looking good. I remain highly skeptical of his durability, but he looked the part of […]
It’s not about how you start it; it’s about how you finish it. Following in the script of Friday’s win, this time with even more drama, the Dodgers waited to take command of the game for the first time in the bottom of the eighth inning. Diamondbacks reliever Juan Morillo came in on the highest […]
The Detroit Tigers took the field on a lovely night in San Diego, looking to complete a road sweep of the Padres to open the season. It didn’t work out that way, though they continued to keep the Padres offense in check. The Tigers hitters were a little too jumpy against Padres’ pitching, with only […]
