Anne Rogers writes how Carter Jensen is still developing behind the plate. Jensen has just 173 2/3 career innings behind the plate with Kansas City, and mistakes are going to happen for any player in this game, no matter how young and inexperienced they are. What matters most is how they respond, and Jensen is […]
The San Diego Padres had the bases loaded with two outs in the bottom of the first inning. Ty France was standing in the batter’s box after Xander Bogaerts battled through an at-bat to draw a walk. France has been one of the hottest hitters on the Padres roster in recent weeks, but he was […]

The 10th installment of our Legends Series features longtime manager Terry Collins, who began his career as skipper of the Astros, never enduring a losing season. Q: I want to start in August of 94′ when you guys are 17 over the .500 mark and then the stoppage occurs. You were neck and neck with […]
There have only been a handful of games in which to judge anything done by Don Mattingly so far. There really isn’t any discernable difference between him and Rob Thomson on much of anything that either does, but one thing does sort of stick out – he’s not a fan of letting starters go too […]
The Rockies definitely had the Braves for the first seven innings. Ah but in the last three games, the leading team didn’t finish the job. Michael Harris II was headed for the Injured List as well, don’t you know. Then, he came on to pinch hit. Yup, pretty standard Braves heroics at the end. Here […]
Alright, the Cardinals are back on top of the world following a road sweep of the Pirates and a game one win against the Dodgers on Friday. Today my main objective is to keep the good vibes rolling and focus on what has gone well across the organization so far in 2026! I will sprinkle […]
ESPN’s updated list of the Pittsburgh Pirates’ top prospects shows a lot of movement within the organization’s top ten. The very top of the list remains unchanged, as Konnor Griffin maintains his status as the top Pirates’ prospect and the top prospect in baseball. Griffin is on pace to graduate from prospect status as he […]
Rangers 5, Tigers 4
With the Dodgers back in St. Louis this weekend, Katie Woo at The Athletic wrote about a pep talk last June in St. Louis that Kiké Hernández gave to Miguel Rojas, who was struggling both at the plate and mentally: “I wanted to change the mentality, because if he didn’t, he was going to be […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
Good morning Birdland, Sometimes it feels like the Orioles are in a free fall, and then you look at their 15-17 record and realize that things could be much worse. Yesterday was one of those days. Before their 7-2 loss to the Yankees on the Friday night, the Orioles got some bad injury news. Their […]
Good morning, baseball fans! We are in the middle of a new feature for May that I’m calling the “12 Days of Mays-mas” because I won’t be around for the next week or so, and I want to leave you guys with some fun things to watch while I’m gone. For the second day of […]
The New York Black Yankees were a Negro Leagues team that existed from 1931 to 1948. True to their name, they called Yankee Stadium home from 1940 onwards until their demise. They were not a particularly successful franchise, with a 258-497 overall record, but they count among their alumni such legends as Satchel Paige, Ted […]
As several Colorado Rockies search for traction on offense, it makes sense that the next wave of Albuquerque names has started to become more interesting. Cole Carrigg (No. 4 PuRP) has been part of that conversation. Charlie Condon (No. 1 PuRP), too. Sterlin Thompson (No. 13 PuRP) is a quieter name, but maybe a more intriguing one than first appears. […]
Toledo Mud Hens 18, Columbus Clippers 5 (box) Sawyer Gipson-Long was scratched prior to this game, fueling talk that he might be part of a spot start plan against the Rangers on Sunday in Casey Mize’s regular turn. Instead, it was a bullpen day with Grant Holman leading the way, and early on the Clippers […]
Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (17-13) SYRACUSE 6, LEHIGH VALLEY 3 / 5 (BOX) The Mets used a five run fourth and the poor rainy weather to take this one by a score of 6-3 after five. AJ Minter opened the game as a continuation of his rehab assignment and did okay, surrendering an unearned run in […]
The Detroit Tigers opened up their six-game homestand with a 5-4 loss to the Texas Rangers on Friday night. Jack Flaherty floundered once again and the offense simply fell short after clawing back from a 4-0 deficit. On Saturday night, the two teams will do it again, with right-hander Keider Montero taking the mound for […]
Friday night one was a fun one in the Bronx, as the Yankees took a left hook early from the Orioles on a Pete Alonso homer but rebounded with a couple big belts of their own. José Caballero and Ben Rice both went yard in the second and Will Warren cruised from there, allowing just […]
Boy is it nice to have Zack Wheeler back in the rotation. Maybe the velocity isn’t all the way back just yet, but his ability to actually pitch makes everything he does have right now play up a bit more. They have needed him. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:

The Atlanta Braves announced a few moves prior to Friday evening’s game in Colorado, beginning with recalling right-hander Hunter Stratton to Atlanta. The club also selected the contract of fellow righty Anthony Molina. Things were not as fortunate for Joel Payamps and José Suarez, who were each designated for assignment. Stratton has yet to make […]
The good times keep rolling in New York, as the Yankees returned to the Bronx and opened up their first series with the Orioles this year with a 7-2 victory.
