The Royals are now in the midst of their second losing streak of at least five games. They only have a single five-game winning streak to counter them. They could start another one of those today, but it’s hard to believe it while they’re losing. Noah Cameron was surprisingly good for the Royals last year. […]

The Pittsburgh Pirates are 24-21 to start the season and everyone thought the pitching would be the true calling card for the Buccos, but it has been the offense stealing the show.

If you thought the mood around Liverpool couldn’t get any more toxic following Friday night’s dismal 4-2 defeat at Aston Villa that saw yet another disinterested and disorganized performance from Arne Slot’s struggling Reds in the penultimate match of a 2025-26 season, well, strap yourselves in. That’s because after a week of buzz and whisper […]

It's his 10th team in the past five years, and 11th overall in the majors.

They were 22-10 through April (.688) and 9-4 is a .692 winning percentage, so… that’s remarkably consistent considering there’s no reason to expect that 13 games will look like the past 32 games, but here we are.
