I have all sorts of questions for Brandon Marsh. Chief among them is how to grow a beard like that. But as this is a baseball site, and as my doomed attempts to grow impressive facial hair are likely of little interest to anyone other than myself, we’ll instead ask a different question: how has […]
Baseball history is full of managers who are famous for all sorts of reasons. Some are known for their unmatched success, others for their failures, and some for a particular moment or antics. Buck Showalter’s story is like that of most ballplayers. He never made it to the majors as a player and after his […]
After a stunning walk-off in the 11th inning to win yesterday’s matchup, the Atlanta Braves are looking for a series win against the high-offensive-powered Washington Nationals with Grant Holmes on the mound. Holmes, who’s holding a 3.80 ERA and a 3-1 record, had a nice outing against the Boston Red Sox last weekend (May 17). […]
The Cubs, on a six-game losing streak and in an offensive funk, have made a roster move that could shake things up, if only a bit. Outfielder Kevin Alcántara has been recalled from Triple-A Iowa. In 41 games for Iowa this year, Alcántara is batting .242/.339/.567 (38-for-157) with 15 home runs. The power is good, […]
San Diego State baseball with a win in the Mountain West Conference Tournament Aztec basketball dealt a loss with the loss of transfer Nick Anderson Golf season ends, but conference honors belong to the Aztecs The Aztecs entered the Mountain West Conference Baseball tournament as the number one seed. They have been on a tear […]
Good morning, LSB. The Rangers fell 9-6 to the Angels last night. Jacob deGrom was jumped all over for a second straight outing and let his frustrations be known after the game. Corey Seager and Wyatt Langford have resumed baseball activities as they aim for a return. The Rangers signed veteran pitcher Joe Ross to […]

Friday’s 9-4 loss against the Chicago White Sox was just the latest in a growing line of duds, of get-it-over-with games — and it started with an element of promise. They always do: fresh off a day of rest, back home after a nine game road trip, Trevor McDonald on the mound. McDonald’s career still […]
Belchetz has 40-goal upside and checks every box the Rangers prioritize. But a broken clavicle and a defense-heavy draft class would make using the fifth pick on him a real gamble.
It isn’t often that a team wins 10 straight and so quickly thereafter loses six straight. But it’s been that kind of year for the Cubs. Every single year there is a stretch where the Cubs run into a number of elite pitchers and the bats go into a funk. To my eye, they’ve held […]
Cole Ragans will begin a rehab assignment at Omaha, writes Jaylon Thompson. He is set to start Saturday’s game for the Storm Chasers against the St. Paul Saints — the Triple-A minor-league affiliate of the Minnesota Twins. “We have him scheduled for four to five innings,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. “(It’s) 65 pitches, something […]
While the weather complicated things on Friday by getting in the way of half the minor league games, there was still some solid action to dive into. Let’s get into it. (27-22) Gwinnett Stripers 3, (25-24) Charlotte Knights 4 Box Score Gwinnett took this one into extra innings but failed to come away with a […]
Blowout wins in Double-A and High-A were he highlights from Friday night in the Dodgers minor leagues. Player of the day It feels weird that for a game in which Tulsa scored 14 runs this award goes to a pitcher, but Adam Serwinowski had his best start of the season, striking out 10 in his […]
It did not look like it was going to be a good day for the San Diego Padres when their starting pitcher, Walker Buehler, allowed two runs in the first inning. It did not look much better when he allowed the visiting Athletics to take a 3-2 lead in the top of the fourth inning. […]
Angels 9, Rangers 6
The Yankees will have to wait another day to snap out of their divisional funk. They dropped back-to-back contests against the Blue Jays earlier this week to end the four-game set at Yankee Stadium in disappointing fashion, and a slim 1-0 lead against the first-place Rays in Gerrit Cole’s long-awaited comeback from Tommy John surgery […]
Will Cuylle broke out onto the scene during the 2024-25 season, but despite getting more opportunities, he couldn't take the next step forward.

Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 8, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (Marlins) 3 This was a well-played game all around for the Tides, starting with a quality start by Nestor German, who worked six innings and gave up three runs. He struck out five and walked one. It was German’s longest outing of the year. Nick Raquet, Cameron Foster, […]
Though injuries and inexperience played a huge role in Arizona recording one of its worst seasons in program history, overall it just didn’t have a good enough roster to be competitive. All signs point to significant overhaul this summer, and some of that has already begun. Three members of the 2026 team—catcher Roman Meyers and […]
Advanced statistics have been around the game now for some time. They’ve revolutionized how we consume the game both at home and at the ballpark. Don’t believe me, check out the scoreboards at Citizens Bank Park next time you visit. Still, even with all of the information available these days, there still remains some questions […]
The Braves have released 11.5 million dollars of bullpen funds that were committed to Aaron Bummer and Joel Payamps. A few relievers, like Carlos Carrasco, Ian Hamilton, and Osvaldo Bido, have come and gone (and/or come and gone in a circular pattern). Meanwhile, James Karinchak has been silencing Triple-A batters in obscurity. I know he […]
On May 8, 2025, Chicago native and Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost became Pope Leo XIV. Soon after the announcement, news broke that the newest Holy Man was a lifelong White Sox fan who was in the crowd for Game 1 of the 2005 World Series. Because Chicago can’t be chill about anything, and the White […]
Chad Tracy stepped into this role with an interesting résumé. Years developing hitters in the Red Sox minor league system, building lineups with pieces that weren’t quite ready for prime time. Now he’s doing it in the majors, where the margin for error is different and the stakes are real. The early returns: 23 games, […]
Not an ideal night. The Yankees’ main rival, at least in terms of the standings, won. Worse, they beat the Yankees. But hey, Gerrit Cole is back and looked great in his return. Unfortunately, he can’t do anything about a putrid Yankee offense. So on a pretty blah night of baseball, we have to take […]
