Nguyen: NFL Draft’s 10 best scheme fits: Giants, Cowboys, Bucs among teams picking perfect pieces (paywall)“I thought Stribling would be a perfect fit for the 49ers because of his ability to run after the catch, and he’s the best blocking receiver in the draft, both skills that former 49er Jauan Jennings was adept at. Stribling […]
MLB Trade Rumors | Mark Polishuk: Jasson Domínguez is being called up to the big-league roster from Triple-A ahead of the upcoming series against the Rangers. He fills the spot opened by Luis Gil’s demotion to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and could factor into the DH and outfield pictures with Giancarlo Stanton sidelined with a calf injury. After […]
Sunderland, eh? There’s no other football club like it; an institution capable of making you feel ten feet tall before breaking your heart or a more exposed part of your anatomy, as American aerospace engineer Kelly Johnson once said — and often in very, very quick succession. If last Sunday’s unexpectedly bonkers 4-3 loss at […]
It seems like watching Rays baseball is all sunshine and rainbows when Tampa Bay isn’t playing an NL Central opponent, right? The Rays are 11-1 against teams not hailing from the Senior Circuit, and are 5-10 against teams that do. In fact, the Rays went 1-2 against the Reds, Cubs, Pirates, Cardinals, and Brewers. Now, […]
The Rockies and Mets came into this series with nearly identical records: 10-16 for Colorado, 9-16 for New York. Which… felt misleading. Like two teams arriving at the same place for completely different reasons. Then the Rockies swept the series, and the gap in records is growing: 13-16 for Colorado, 9-19 for New York. Same […]
It was a long day at Kauffman Stadium, but the Kansas City Royals completed the sweep, overcoming a 6-0 deficit to sweep the Angels, winning it 11-9. Lane Thomas played the hero, with the walk-off three run dinger. Zach Neto flared the first pitch of the game into left for a single. Mike Trout followed […]
Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs were battered by the Louisville Bats (Reds), 12-6. Paul Campbell gave up five runs, including a grand slam, in the first inning and two more in the third and got the loss. Campbell’s final line was seven runs on seven hits over three innings. Campbell walked three and struck out […]
Nashville Sounds 5, Charlotte Knights 1The Knights got beaten by good pitching, plain and simple. With the 5-1 loss to the Sounds, Charlotte (13-14) is now a game under .500, which feels about right. Starter Jake Curtis got crushed in the second giving up a three-run bomb, and Nashville just kept piling on. It was […]
Following their disastrous double header sweep at the hands of the Rockies, the Mets designated Tommy Pham for assignment. In another move, the club signed outfielder Austin Slater to a deal after electing free agency earlier today. He was DFA’ed by the Marlins earlier this month. Pham, you may recall, played for the Mets in […]
The Cardinals rotation has not performed particularly well. Individual games are quite good here and there, check out McGreevy’s line from his start today, but on the whole they are near the bottom of the league in many important pitching indicators. We were joined by Benjamin Hochman of the Post-Dispatch to consider the rotation from […]
For the second day in a row, Eli Drinkwitz and the staff have landed an in-state commitment to add to their 2027 recruiting class. This one comes from the Kansas City area.

[Editor’s note] Due to an incorrectly constructed Google form, I don’t know whose responses are who! So enjoy this game of “Guess the Snakepitter”! LOL Except for Mak. Thanks for still putting your name, Mak. So what did the disappointing series against the White Sox tell us? Response 4: I think it says more about […]
Last time the Athletics played the Texas Rangers, the teams split a four-game series in Sacramento. This time, the A’s emerged victorious in a best-of-three battle in Arlington. The two runs they scored in the first inning proved sufficient to win a game in which they overcame an injury to their starter and a 1-for-13 […]
If you had any doubt about the 2026 Mets being a terrible baseball team, surely it was erased this afternoon as the team scored just one run across two games of a doubleheader against the Rockies at Citi Field. In the second game, the Mets were shut out, a recurring theme early of a season […]
The 2026 LSU Baseball team isn’t just bad, they are now awful at historic levels. The Tigers (24-21, 6-15) were swept for a third consecutive weekend, this time on the road in Starkville, and have now lost a program-record nine straight SEC games. Even more agonizing for LSU is the Tigers scored three runs in […]

Then the latest on Tech Softball after […]

A couple of weeks ago, the Atlanta Braves embarked on a 13-game run of games that were solely in the NL East. Initially, it seemed like a tough task considering that they’d be seeing the Philadelphia Phillies twice during that run. At the same time, the Braves had gotten off to an encouraging start to […]
Following a rough start against the Astros on Sunday afternoon in which he surrendered six runs on five hits and three walks in four innings including a pair of early two-run homers, Luis Gil has been demoted to Triple-A Scranton Wilkes/Barre. It is the second time this season he has been optioned to the RailRiders […]
This series wasn’t going to be easy, we all knew that before it began. And when Shōta Imanaga had a 32-pitch first inning in which he allowed a pair of walks and three runs, that made the Cubs’ task that much more difficult. That, and the fact that the Cubs again had RISP issues, going […]
There was a time on Sunday afternoon where the fates seemed to be doing just about everything they could to push the Cincinnati Reds to yet another improbable victory. That wasn’t true of the Top of the 1st. Reds starter Rhett Lowder was tagged for three hits and a walk in a 30 pitch inning […]
