After a fairly successful road trip to the West Coast, the Chicago White Sox welcome the Seattle Mariners to kick off a nine-game homestand. Although two straight losses have soured the taste a bit, Chicago is still 6-4 over their last 10 and still very much in the slow AL Central race. While it hasn’t […]
On the scoreboard, Thursday’s series finale against the Rangers went quite well, as the Yankes won fairly comfortably, clinching another series win. However, the victory did include an injury to Jasson Domínguez, who has hit the IL after hurting his shoulder crashing into the left field while making a catch. Domínguez’s IL trip has led […]
I know the Guardians series didn’t end how any of us wanted it to, but the Royals still split a four-game series against a tough team. That’s a win. Especially if the Royals can win the series starting tonight, against the Tigers. By all rights, the Tigers should be in a bit of freefall right […]

The Atlanta Braves are starting their most hyped series of the year as they face the loaded Los Angeles Dodgers team. Few probably thought before the season started that the Braves would be the team with a better record going into this series. There have been several reasons why the Braves have been successful, but […]
Go Rays!
After their first home series win of the season, the Nats hit the road looking to keep up the momentum. The Nats have been road warriors, with a 12-7 record away from home. However, series openers have been an issue for them lately. They will do battle with the Marlins for the first time this […]
The Mariners take their talents to the South Side of Chicago tonight, where temperatures will be in the high 50s, with winds under 10 mph and no rain in the forecast. Could the Mariners possibly play a normal game at Guaranteed Rate Field? Emerson Hancock will take the ball for the sailors, fresh off one […]
The Orioles are back home after a brutal 2-5 road trip. Tonight starts a six-game homestand with three games vs the Athletics followed by three games vs the Yankees. It would behoove the Orioles to get off to a good start against the A’s. The A’s are, in fact, a first-place team. They are just […]
Yesterday, the Athletics put together one of their most impressive performances of the season to salvage the final game of the team’s three-game series at the Philadelphia Phillies. The A’s hit four two-run home runs, providing more than enough run support for starting pitcher J.T. Ginn, who allowed just one run on four hits over eight […]
Day three of the 2026 Mountain West Softball Tournament kicked off with the winner’s bracket final matchup between tournament host Nevada and regular-season champion Grand Canyon. Nevada was the lone team to defeat GCU in a regular-season series, which was surely on the minds of both teams entering this game. This game quickly revealed itself […]

I’ll bet it’s gardening Tonight’s Cleveland starter, Parker Messick, was born 12 days before the 2000 elections. (I so Old.) He was drafted in 2022, and […]
We have the first of three games with the Angels tonight. And we don’t have Addison Barger yet, I thought he was to join the team today, but not they are saying tomorrow. And it appears Jose Berrios will be a little while longer. They say there were changes in his latest MRI, well, inflammation, […]

I don’t know the first thing about the Houston Astros this year, and I don’t care. The Cincinnati Reds need to beat ‘em tonight, and beat’ em up good. First pitch will be chucked by Nick Lodolo, finally, as he makes his 2026 debut. First pitch is set for 6:10 PM ET. Lineups for both […]
Today’s roster move: Here Friday notes… Cubs lineup: Rangers lineup: Ben Brown, RHP vs. Kumar Rocker, RHP This is Ben Brown’s first start of 2026. Given that he has maxed out at 50 pitches in a game this year — and that was on March 31 vs. the Angels — this is likely to be […]

Friday at 6pm CT on SECN+, Saturday at 4pm CT on SECN+, and Sunday at 1pm CT on SECN+. First things first (I’m the realest), we absolutely have to sweep the final two SEC series against Missourah (spits) and The South Cackalacky Game Penises, otherwise we will need to win the SEC Tourney in Hooverville […]
Michael King did everything he could to give the San Diego Padres a win. King pitched six innings, giving up only one run on a homer to Alec Burleson. But the Friars simply couldn’t take advantage, with their lone run coming in the first inning. It was Jordan Walker’s double followed by a Masyn Winn […]
What a way to end the homestand. The Colorado Rockies closed their stop at Coors Field with a comeback 6-2 win over the New York Mets, powered by another strong José Quintana home outing and a late Jake McCarthy grand slam. It was one of the club’s most satisfying wins of the season, and now […]
San Diego Padres catcher Luis Campusano fouled a ball off his foot in the second game of the series against the Giants in San Francisco and went right back to work. He finished the game 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored. Freddy Fermin caught Padres’ pitchers on Wednesday, taking a few more foul […]

Four Red Sox prospects were included in Baseball America’s latest top 100 rankings. Justin Gonzales was not among them, but there is reason to believe that the 19-year-old outfielder is not too far behind. Baseball America’s Josh Norris recently identified Gonzales as one of five “MLB prospects who could join the top 100 soon,” citing … Continue reading "Justin Gonzales could be next Red Sox prospect to crack Baseball America’s top 100"
Controversial headline? Sure. But maybe it’s time to have the conversation, because as Logan Webb goes, so goes the Giants. And, uh, in case you haven’t been watching closely, the 2026 San Francisco Giants are seemingly going nowhere. By some measures, Logan Webb is having the worst start to a season of his wonderful career. […]
Rutgers women’s lacrosse is moving on after taking down Princeton 12-11 in the first round of the NCAA tournament, which is being hosted at SECU Stadium in Maryland. The Tigers defeated the Scarlet Knights 15-9 in regular-season play, with Rutgers getting its revenge by knocking Princeton out of the national tournament. The Knights put the […]
