It’s not often you see a nine-run inning, but that’s exactly the kind of damage the Loons conceded on their way to splitting a doubleheader with Lake County. Player of the day Between the two games, Mike Sirota was the undeniable standout player, reaching base safely seven times, including all five in the Loons’ 15-13 […]
It was a busy day in Yankee land, as the Bombers won an early afternoon game against the Rangers, while also calling up one of the franchise’s more exciting prospects in Spencer Jones. It was an all around good win against Texas, as the Yanks were able to maintain their narrow lead in the East. […]
This whole stretch has been such a whirlwind, there has been no time really spent on narratives. Beginning April 17, the Cubs played 13 games in 13 days. That included a trip to Los Angeles and San Diego in there as well as series again the Mets and Phillies, both with playoff aspirations. They aced […]
The San Diego Padres have put Jake Cronenworth’s 2026 season on hold. The team announced they have placed their second baseman on the seven-day concussion injury list. According to the San Diego Union-Tribune (need a paid subscription), Cronenworth began experiencing bouts of fogginess and difficulty focusing during at-bats following the Padres’ road trip to Mexico […]
Thursday night wasn’t a great day to be a pitcher in the Atlanta Braves system. The best team outing was Rome allowing five runs in seven innings, and the worst was a large, large step below that. However, most of the games remained close thanks to big time home runs, including many of the top […]
Diamondbacks News (Arizona Sports) The good and the not-so-good from Zac Gallen in Diamondbacks’ loss to Pirates Gallen drew a season-high 15 whiffs (swings-and-misses), nine with his slider and six with the curveball (none with the fastball), according to Statcast. Gallen’s arsenal has changed this year. His curveball does not drop like it used to, and he […]
In 2025, the Orioles and the Athletics were largely the same team. They finished within one game of each other (75 vs. 76 wins). They each sported young, promising stars—Gunnar Henderson for the O’s and Nick Kurtz for the A’s. And they were both largely undone by inconsistent pitching, with Baltimore finishing 26th in ERA […]
Worcester Red Sox 10, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders 8 (12 inn.) – BOX The Woo Sox got a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 12th inning, which gave a position player the win as a pitcher on Thursday night over the RailRiders (NYY). Other than that, things were pretty uneventful. Worcester had two-hit efforts from […]
With outfielder Jasson Domínguez headed to the injured list after crashing into the outfield wall earlier this afternoon, the New York Yankees have opted to promote top prospect Spencer Jones, according to reports. Soon after, it was reported that, following the bullpen day, the Yankees were recalling Kervin Castro from the minors as well; he […]

Good morning, LSB. The Rangers lost to the Yankees yesterday, 9-2. Evan Grant writes about the slim margin of error the Rangers have to work with in order to get a win these days. Kennedi Landry touches on MacKenzie Gore, who was in control through five innings before the wheels shot off. Joc Pederson started […]
San Diego Pardes starting pitcher Michael King deserved better than what he got. The right-hander has returned to form as the ace of the staff, especially with Nick Pivetta, Yu Darvish and Joe Musgrove, on the injured list and he delivered a six-inning performance allowing one run on one hit before he was removed from […]
UPDATE: Mother Nature has impacted this weekend’s series. Sunday’s game has been moved to Saturday, with a day-night doubleheader now scheduled starting at 2:00 p.m. CT. The ninth-ranked Aggies hit the road one final time in conference play, heading to Oxford, Miss., to take on No. 20 Ole Miss in another important top-25 SEC clash. […]
Like so many of these Nats relievers, Gus Varland has bounced around a lot in his career, and is no stranger to the waiver wire. However, it really feels like the 29 year old has finally found a home in the back of the Nats bullpen. He has become the Nats closer, and has become […]
1912 Pitching most of his career in the dead-ball era, it’s no shock that all-time hurling great Walter Johnson allowed just 97 home runs over his 802 career games and 5,914 1⁄3 innings. But you might be startled to know that in a 7-6 loss to the White Sox, Johnson surrendered two home runs (2.1% […]
A throw-in in the Trouba trade who never grew into more. With one year left on his deal and the depth chart stacked against him, Vaakanainen's Rangers run looks finished.
I definitely have much more negative feelings reserved for the feelings. I don’t really even have strong feelings, including negative feelings, for the Dodgers — but I know a lot of others do. So, let’s hear it.
Bill Dawley would appear in 275 games as a reliever during his major league career. He’d make his debut with the Astros on April 15th and set ablaze the first half of the 1983 season, winning 5 contests while posting a 1.88 ERA. That start would culminate with an All-Star Selection at Old Comiskey […]
Orion Kerkering was probably the biggest story from the end of the 2025 season. His gaffe that sealed the Phillies’ elimination at the hands of the Dodgers in the NLDS loomed like a specter over the entire offseason. But as we sit in May 2026, Kerkering has been in the background amid the team’s early […]
For these Orioles, after the rotten 2025 they had, one thing was supposed to be true this year: this would be a lineup that could weather bad injury luck. Mike Elias signed Pete Alonso to a five-year, $155 million deal, added competent veteran outfielders in Taylor Ward and Leody Taveras, and supplemented the infield depth. […]

Yankees 9, Rangers 2
The playoff-bound Red Sox posted three All-Star selections in 2025 with Alex Bregman, Garrett Crochet and Aroldis Chapman. The trio of offseason additions stood among the game’s top performers, though the closer was the only Boston player to suit up for the midsummer classic in Atlanta. Baseball sits just over two months from the All-Star […]
The Yankees are on a roll. After a 6-1 homestand in which they mopped the floor with the Orioles and decisively took two of three from the Rangers (again), the Bombers boast an AL-best 26-12 record. Now, they’ll shove off for a nine-game road trip, beginning with a three-game set against the Brewers in Milwaukee. […]
While the Dodgers offense experienced both highs and lows on their most previous road trip, the pitching mostly held up their end, with four starting pitchers tossing quality starts. The only scoreless performance the Dodgers got from their rotation came from Justin Wrobleski on Sunday, as he continues to prove himself as a viable big […]
