Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman doubled in each of his first two at-bats in Wednesday’s win over the San Diego Padres, finishing off a productive series at Petco Park. He now has 560 doubles in his career, tied for 30th all-time in MLB history. He’s tied with Eddie Murray and Jeff Kent, both who like […]
It’s officially the end of an era for NC State baseball. Elliott Avent announced Thursday morning that he will retire following the end of the 2026 season. Now I’d really like for NC State to make the NCAA tournament. His last game being that mess of an ACC tournament game doesn’t feel right. But there’s […]
Welcome back to our Discussion series. With an off-day to sit and ponder, today’s question focuses on the people who live and die with every pitch: what are the best and worst traits of our fan base? South Siders are a cocktail of loyalty, humor, pure stubbornness, and survival instinct. This bunch has survived more […]
Braden Schneider's trade value is climbing even though the Rangers swear he's untouchable, Carson Carels is the fallback at five, and Connor McDavid is somehow mad at the wrong guy.

On May 21, 1880, a strange thing happened in upstate New York. While playing at Riverside Park in Albany, Lip Pike — playing for the National Association team in Albany in between stints at the professional/semi-professional level — hit a fly ball over the fence in right field and into the nearby river. Outfielder Lon […]
There’s been enough roster turnover since the last time we did this to warrant a new edition of the classic Jeff Sullivan bit. Logan Gilbert I love him so much, and it feels life-ruining when he’s bad. J.P. Crawford This was more useful when the radio function worked too, but it still tells time. I’m […]

Less than two weeks after undergoing elbow surgery, two-time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal was back on the mound throwing another full bullpen session at Comerica Park, making his return timeline much earlier than previously believed. Postscript: The bullpen session went well, by all indications. If Skubal continues progressing at this pace, he could return on the early end of the projected timeline following surgery. @MLBNetwork https://t.co/0oF60DZhB7 — Jon Morosi (@jonmorosi) May 21, 2...
Following game 43, I did some digging and saw that every full-season Cub team going back to 2003 had at least one five-game losing streak. So while this streak feels like it came out of nowhere, it’s not all that out of the ordinary. The good Cub teams in that stretch had a streak at […]
For better, for worse, for discourse, we saw our first “piggyback” start Tuesday night. Bryce Miller, in his second appearance back from a stint on the IL, carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning versus the White Sox, looking much more 2024 than 2025. Castillo came in and gave two solid innings of relief before […]

It wouldn’t be a day without a roster move, right? Right? Carlos Carrasco returns to Atlanta for the third time this season. He pitched an inning in late April and was DFAed six days later, then re-added in early May, pitched another frame, and was DFAed the next day. And, after signing a minor league […]

Morning, all! Mackenzie Gore is trending towards making his next scheduled start on Sunday after leaving after one inning with lat tightness in his last start. Brandon Nimmo exited yesterday’s game with hamstring tightness after hitting a single in the fifth, though Skip Schumaker describes the move as precautionary. Nimmo says that he expects to […]
Let’s go back. It’s August 1st, 2023. The Tampa Bay Rays just defeated the New York Yankees, 5-2, and improved to 66-44 on the season. It has been a golden season for Tampa Bay as they kicked off the campaign with a 13 game winning streak and took 20 of their first 23 games to […]
Charlie returns to clean up Episode 84, including the receipts on Benoit Allaire's backup-goalie track record, where Björck really sits on mock draft boards, and the two small details Eric got wrong about Rangers goalies past.
Another day of minor league baseball is in the books. See the results below. Check out the previous day’s recap here. AAA: Sugar Land Space Cowboys (20-27) lost 13-1 (BOX SCORE) Gordon started for Sugar Land but struggled allowing 8 runs over 3.1 innings. The pen allowed another 5 runs as the River Cats extended their […]
The Huskies need to win the Big East Tournament to make the NCAAs.
We’re back with another shirt from our partners at Breaking T, and it’s another one featuring Milwaukee’s young pitching phenom (hopefully you aren’t sick of him yet ;)). Jacob Misiorowski has now gone four consecutive starts without allowing a run, meaning he hasn’t allowed a run since April 25. Over those four starts, he’s totaled […]
The Scarlet Knights entered a must-win game on Wednesday to keep its season alive in the Big Ten Tournament. Rutgers got a strong start on the mound — and rallied to take a lead late — but could not pull it out in the end. Rutgers fell to Ohio State, 3-2, at Charles Schwab Field […]
Unfortunately for LSU the 2026 baseball season has officially come to a close before Memorial Day as the Tigers (30-28) fell to Auburn (37-18) 3-1 in round two of the SEC Tournament. “Our players gave everything they had in this tournament,” Jay Johnson said. “I thought our players fought and gave great effort throughout the […]

The Yankees dropped the third game of their series against the Blue Jays, losing a narrow pitchers’ duel between Cam Schlittler and Trey Yesavage. Schlittler matched Yesavage zero for zero on the scoreboard until the seventh inning, when the hits finally poured over and loaded the bases before he walked one in and was pulled. […]
