Last of three in Tampa. If they light a match on the way out, I will not shed a tear. I hate afternoon weekday games, it messes up the day. There are some updates: Today’s lineup: Today’s Lineups BLUE JAYS RAYS George Springer – DH Yandy Diaz – DH Kazuma Okamoto – 3B Ryan Vilade […]
Go Rays!
The San Diego Padres needed a win like this one. Badly. The Friars torched the San Francisco Giants, 10-5, to force the rubber match. After a dismal showing from their offense lately, it was good to watch the Padres hit double-digits against a division rival after only scoring two in the series opener. It was […]
Houston Astros infielder Carlos Correa has a torn tendon in his left ankle that will require season-ending surgery, per reports. The injury was suffered during pregame batting practice on Tuesday. When Correa hit the free agent market after the 2021 season, he had agreements on $300 million contracts with both the New York Mets and […]
The Arizona Cardinals had seven draft picks in the 2026 NFL Draft and then followed it up with seven undrafted free agents. Over the next couple of days we will take a look at each of undrafted free agents to get to know them a bit, but also so they get their chance to show […]
The Dodgers haven’t had a good road trip since the first week of April. But after their malaise through St. Louis and Houston, the Dodgers will return home to Los Angeles with a tall task at hand — facing the Atlanta Braves, owners of the best record in baseball, at 26-11 through Tuesday. Emmet Sheehan […]
Coming into the season, I didn’t have very high expectations for Kansas City Royals reliever Daniel Lynch IV. Last year, he posted a perfectly acceptable 3.06 ERA over 67.1 innings, but the underlying statistics (4.53 xERA, 4.76 FIP) suggested that he had good fortune and was due for a rude awakening this year. The southpaw […]
The Brewers are back in action today for the series finale of what will effectively be a two-game series against the division-rival St. Louis Cardinals after yesterday’s rainout. Neither team opted to skip the spot in the rotation, so today’s pitching matchup is still Brandon Sproat against Andre Pallante. Sproat has flashed serious potential during […]
The Braves have made a somewhat eventful call-up ahead of their series finale against the Seattle Mariners. Following a strong start to the 2026 season in Triple-A and following up a successful 2025 campaign in Gwinnett as well, infielder Jim Jarvis has gotten the call to the big leagues to join the Atlanta Braves. Jarvis […]
The first of the 10 Dodgers to open the season on the injured list has been activated, with reliever Brock Stewart joining the team in Houston on Wednesday ahead of the series finale against the Astros at Daikin Park. Stewart was slowed this spring after right shoulder debridement surgery late last September. In eight rehab […]
Is there anything better than old-timey baseball nicknames? Today, another Hall of Fame-caliber nickname, “Poison” Ivy Paul Andrews, would have celebrated his 119th birthday. Born to a Walker County, Alabama coal mining family in the spring of 1907, Andrews’ father worked in the coal mines, as several of his siblings did, and for a time […]
Well, it’s a sad day for generations of Atlanta braves fans as one of the most beloved and most important figures in the history of the franchise has passed away. Former Braves owner and media mogul Ted Turner has died at the age of 87. Turner Enterprises announced the news in a press release and […]
1903 The White Sox were charged with 11 errors in a game in Chicago vs. Detroit. While that’s a big story in itself, it’s not the most remarkable item to come out of this game. What is the most remarkable item to come out of this game is the fact that the Sox won the game, 10-9, scoring three […]
(21-13) Gwinnett Stripers 5, (13-21) Norfolk Tide 3 Box Score Other than running into some trouble in the sixth inning, it was a really strong pitching performance by Elieser Hernández who mixed his pitches pretty well, but was especially strong with his four-seam that he utilized over 50% of the time. Because he was able […]
UW Women’s Softball opens Big Ten Tournament play today (hopefully). UW Athletics continue their “Academic Prowess”. There is a push to expand the CFP to 24 teams. And Jedd Fisch turned 50 yesterday. Those and more for your Wednesday Dots. Football Dots UW Athletics Dots
Worcester: W, 7-6 (BOX SCORE) The WooSox enjoyed an early home run from Mickey Gasper, his fifth on the year, but the good feelings didn’t last for too long against the Rail Riders (Yankees AAA). As referenced earlier, the WooSox are going to be pre-cautiously switching out their pitchers to rest arms in case the […]
It took one extra inning to get there, but ultimately, the result was the same. The Cubs have now won seven straight and 13 in a row at home. They’ve won 17 of 20. The team is scorching hot. For my point of reference, I’m going to say this. When a team digs itself an […]
Arbitrary endpoints in baseball are fun. If you want to make the case for something, it’s usually not hard to do it if you get to pick the start and end dates, which is exactly what’s about to happen here. Since April 23, Carson Benge has hitting much better than he had from Opening Day […]
When Spencer Strider was nearing his return to the major league roster which he made on Sunday, Braves manager Walt Weiss told reporters that Martín Pérez was going to be moving to the bullpen. He was never used in that capacity, however, and will now instead be starting again for Atlanta’s Wednesday afternoon series finale […]
The Aug. 31 'Heated Rivalry' promotion at Fenway Park celebrates a show featuring pro male pro athletes having a lot of sex with each other.
Season Record: 16-18 Week Record: 2-4 Series Record: 4-6, 1 split GAME 29: 2- 4 Loss vs New York Yankees GAME 30: 2-3 Loss vs New York Yankees GAME 31: 3-0 Win vs New York Yankees GAME 32: 5-4 Win @ Detroit Tigers GAME 33: 1-5 Loss @ Detroit Tigers GAME 34: 1-7 Loss @ Detroit […]
Yesterday, TGP’s own Joe Edinger wrote about how the Phillies fared through the first month of the ABS system. You can (and should!) get the big picture from reading his article. But today I’d like to look at the smaller picture. What were the best and worst ABS challenges from Phillies through the first month? […]
One of my favorite places to go for prospect content is Baseball America, and I would highly recommend subscribing. This morning BA dropped an updated top 100 list that featured two new Nats. Those two new players are Ronny Cruz and Seaver King, who rank 96th and 99th on the list. Cruz and King are […]
Falling to fifth doesn't have to be the end of the Rangers' draft story. With Chris Drury and Mike Grier's history, one current roster player could change everything.
Another day of minor league baseball is in the books. See the results below. AAA: Sugar Land Space Cowboys (17-17) lost 7-5 (BOX SCORE) Whitcomb put Sugar Land on the board in the first inning on a 2 run home run. Imai made a rehab start and went 3 innings allowing 1 run, though he […]
