Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about Mizzou Baseball After another rough regular season, Mizzou Baseball begins SEC Tournament play in Hoover today (yes, all 16 SEC teams make the conference tournament now!). The Tigers are the No. 16 seed and will play No. 9 seed Ole Miss bright and early at 9:30 […]
Over the last couple of seasons the starting pitchers for the Pittsburgh Pirates have grown into some of the best pitchers in baseball and have cemented themselves as one of the best overall units. Between strong scouting, good use of draft picks and player development, the Pirates have established themselves as an organization with a […]
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: In Gerrit Cole’s most recent rehab outing, the former Cy Young winner touched 99.6 mph on the gun, velo that would impress even among the best in MLB. Given that pitch-level success, it’s been debated within the Yankee org whether it would be better to let Cole have one more rehab […]
To start off the evening, we had a patented dome field advantage at One Trop Drive. There was a thunderstorm that passed directly over Tropicana Field for about the first hour of tonight’s contest, and had it been 2025 we might not have got the ballgame in. Tampa Bay placed seven right-handed hitters in tonight’s […]
We have a running joke around these parts about how the Mariners and White Sox are incapable of playing a normal game with one another, but tonight’s game really stretched the bit thin. At the end of it, though, the Mariners emerged with a 6-1 victory, shaking off the doldrums of their series sweep at […]
Before Monday’s game, veteran third baseman Nolan Arenado had hit more home runs and driven in more runs against the San Francisco Giants than any other MLB team. Against Monday’s starter Robbie Ray, Arenado had a career slash line of .364/.444/.773. Six pitches into Monday’s game, Arenado had a grand slam and the Arizona Diamondbacks […]
Red Sox infield prospect Louis Andujar has been named the Florida Complex League Player of the Week for the week of May 11-17, Minor League Baseball announced on Monday. Andujar appeared in five games for the rookie-level FCL Red Sox last week, going 9-for-18 (.500) with four doubles, two home runs, eight RBIs, six runs … Continue reading "Red Sox’ Louis Andujar named Florida Complex League Player of the Week"
Just like the rest of us, the White Sox had to get up on Monday and go to work, and just like most of us, they played with some lethargy after a possibly overstimulating weekend, dropping a quiet 6-1 loss to the Mariners on Monday night to open a six-game West Coast swing. It drops […]
Well that was less than fun. Braves lost 12-0 on Monday against the Marlins. It was the worst loss of the season for the Braves on a rare night where they simply had no answers. While these games happen to all teams at least a few times a year, there is an opportunity for the […]
The Athletics and Los Angeles Angels matched up in the first game of this four-game series between these two longtime division rivals. Few would have thought that this game featuring two teams with struggling pitching staffs would turn out to be a pitching duel, yet that is what happened. Both starting pitchers performed well, especially […]
Record: 23-23. Pace: 81-81. Change on 2025: -1. I’ve learned not to tempt the baseball gods by starting on the recap too early. The only time I did so far this season, was the game against the Orioles, where the D-backs led 7-2 in the middle of the sixth inning. It… did not end well. […]
Red Sox outfield prospect Enddy Azocar has been named the Carolina League Player of the Week for the week of May 11-17, Minor League Baseball announced on Monday. Azocar had a productive week at the plate in Low-A Salem’s series on the road against Fredericksburg. Appearing in five games, the right-handed hitting 19-year-old went 9-for-21 … Continue reading "Red Sox’ Enddy Azocar named Carolina League Player of the Week"
After losing two of three to the Milwaukee Brewers on the road, the San Diego Padres arrived in Seattle with an offense that lacked thump, as well as production, from the top of the lineup. With Fernando Tatis Jr., Jackson Merrill, and Manny Machado scuffling, the rest of the roster carried the team to a […]
It was a stormy night in Minneapolis and no one from Cory Provus to the players on the field thought this game was going to go a full nine innings. The field was a mess, Astros shorstop Jeremy Peña turned the field into his personal slip-n-slide, but no one, and I mean NO ONE, was […]
Mariners 6, White Sox 1 Anton Chigurh: Bryan Woo, .31 WPA Anton Chinacci: Eduard Bazardo, -.18 WPA Game Thread Comment of the Day:
Late Sunday afternoon in Seattle was the setting for Lucas Giolito’s debut with the San Diego Padres. His emotions were high, but he channeled his energy into a decent outing. No question, there are plenty of positive takeaways from his first start of the 2026 campaign. This season is different from others, as Giolito had […]
It wasn’t a sure thing this game would be played to conclusion as the rain fell hard during Bark at the Park night. However, the Colorado Rockies and the Texas Rangers played a full nine innings of soggy baseball with plenty of slips, slides, and runs scored. “I love it,” said TJ Rumfield of the […]
Who would have thought that when Miguel Andujar scored a run in the first on a solo homer, he’d be scoring the only one in this game as the Padres won it 1-0? Seldom throughout the course of the 2026 season did Yoshinobu Yamamoto find an opponent capable and effective in going toe-to-toe with him […]
More game thread!
The Texas Rangers scored six runs but the Colorado Rockies scored seven runs. Let’s see here… The Rangers fielded one of the least impressive lineups I’ve maybe ever seen. Their starting pitcher MacKenzie Gore left injured after only an inning of work in which he was lucky to have allowed just two runs. The defense […]
Box Score In the first of 13 meetings between the Brewers and Cubs this season, the Brewers set the tone for these matchups. Though the Cubs were riding a 15-game home winning streak and had their ace on the mound, it didn’t faze the Brewers at all. They scored eight runs off of Shota Imanaga […]
Jays 6 Yankees 7 The Jays turned in one inning. Going into the seventh, the Jays were up 5-3. Adam Macko is in and gets the first two outs of the inning, but, with Aaron Judge coming up, John Schneider goes with a right-hander, Yariel Rodriguez. Understandable, Judge is much better vs lefties. And I […]
Red Sox minor leaguer Patrick Halligan has been named the Eastern League Pitcher of the Week for the week of May 11-17, Minor League Baseball announced on Monday. Halligan made two scoreless and hitless appearances (one start) in Double-A Portland’s series on the road against Hartford this past week. On Wednesday, the 26-year-old right-hander earned … Continue reading "Red Sox’ Patrick Halligan named Eastern League Pitcher of the Week"
The Yankees desperately needed something positive Monday night and, the offense delivered. After a brutal 2-7 road trip that ended with another frustrating series loss in Queens, the Yankees returned to the Bronx looking for any sign of life. Behind a huge night from Paul Goldschmidt, timely power from Cody Bellinger and Jazz Chisholm Jr., […]
The Mets and Nationals played an absolute slog of a game that lasted a little over four hours, but the Mets won 16-7 in the end. And hey, that beats the alternative. The Mets got on the board first when Luis Torrens doubled on a ball that just passed over third base as it made […]
