Even as far as spring training games go, this was a pretty forgettable one for the Dodgers, coming out on the losing end of a 7-2 effort against the White Sox. After a strong start to his spring, Justin Wrobleski didn’t showcase his best stuff, laboring through a difficult outing against a White Sox lineup […]
One day, I will be able to write up a Cubs recap and present a lot of highlights from the game. Today is not that day. (Though I do have SOME video to show you.) The Cubs lost to the Rockies 4-3 at Salt River Fields in Scottsdale Saturday afternoon, another very warm day in […]
The St. Louis Cardinals offered us an unprecedented opportunity to have direct access to the thinking of manager Oli Marmol. We were given a 30-minute online session to ask questions and one of the top recommendations from the community here was the viability of a 6-man rotation for this season. Here’s what Oli had to […]

Today we were treated to something unfamiliar by this season’s standards: a good performance that wasn’t matched by a win. Much of the Leam Richardson era has been the other way around – Reading digging out results despite putting in an unconvincing display – but for once, the Royals deserved more than they got. Probably. […]
It’s time for more Bryce Elder, folks! I know you’re amped up to see it and I’m certainly amped up to talk about it. Yep, I totally mean that with all sincerity. In all seriousness though, let’s hope that we see Elder show some improvement after his last outing was a bit of a mess. […]
Mets lineup SP: Freddy Peralta (RHP) Astros lineup lineup to follow Broadcast info First pitch: 6:05 PM EDTTV: MLBN, Space City Home Network (Astros)Radio: KBME 790 AM/94.5 FM HD-2 (Astros)
The Houston Astros (7-10-3) take on the New York Mets (10-7) in West Palm Beach in Grapefruit League play. RHP Ryan Weiss gets his first start of the Spring for Houston, opposed by RHP Freddy Peralta of New York. TONIGHT’S STARTER: Weiss is making his first start and third appearance of the Grapefruit League this season. In […]
I think it may be possible there’s some risk in trading for Rockies relievers. The org isn’t exactly known for churning out well-developed arms, and Angel Chivilli is having a nightmare of a spring training. The Yankees got a good start from Max Fried — save one bad frame — and clawed their way out […]
Go get ‘em, Ben.
Another double-dip day, and in the World Baseball Classic, Italy and Puerto Rico is already under way. Remarkably, the Italians put up a four-spot in the bottom of the first, so their Cinderella story continues. I’m trying to think of an equivalent team reaching the World Cup semi-final. Morocco were unexpected semi-finalists last time. Maybe […]
Today the Texas Rangers have divvied up the squad and sent half to Goodyear, AZ to take on the Cincinnati Reds while the rest remain in Surprise, AZ for a Cactus League tussle against the San Diego Padres. In Surprise, RHP Nathan Eovaldi will take the bump for Texas opposite LHP Marco Gonzales for San […]
Entering 2026, the consensus around the Athletics was that the team would be led by its talented group of hitters, who may have to outscore opponents to compensate for the team’s average pitching staff. While spring training stats rarely matter and often do not influence how the season will go, the fact that the A’s […]
Tigers 6 Blue Jays 1 Another great start from Max Scherzer. He went 4.2 scoreless innings, 2 hits, 2 walks and 5 strikeouts. He threw 65 pitches. It looks like he’s already ready for the regular season. Two start and no earned runs against. Other pitchers: Batters, starters: Others: Jays are 8-11 on the spring. […]
The Mets have once again acquired left-handed relief pitcher Richard Lovelady, as the team has claimed him on waivers from the Nationals and placed right-handed pitcher Justin Hagenman on the 60-day injured list with a rib fracture. Since signing with the Mets in late June last year, Lovelady has been designated for assignment by the […]
The White Sox have the best chance of beating the Dodgers in the calendar year in today’s last Camelback Ranch duel before the prospect game next week. Seeking their first win against the Dodgers since March 8, 2025, and first Spring Training win against the reigning 2025 World Series Champions, the deck is slightly stacked […]
In one week, the Royals will play their final Cactus League game of 2026. In two weeks, the Royals will be preparing to play their second game of the season. If we can hang on just a little bit longer, we can make it all the way to Regular Season 2026 Baseball! But until then, […]
Colorado Rockies spring training game no. 22 thread: Ben Brown vs. Kyle Freeland Yesterday the Rockies fell to the Texas Rangers, 9–4. Colorado couldn’t overcome a disastrous third inning in which starter José Quintana was pulled after allowing five runs before Ryan Miller entered and surrendered two more. Quintana later returned to start the fourth inning — a maneuver allowed under the […]

Both Camelback Ranch co-tenants face off on Saturday afternoon, with the Dodgers as the road team against the White Sox. Non-roster invitee Zyhir Hope, a consensus top-100 prospect, leads the Dodgers with 19 games played this spring, missing only one day thus far. On Saturday, he makes his first start this spring, in left field. […]
Seattle’s WBC-sapped lineups have led to a degree of drudgery in their play. As the World Baseball Classic quarterfinals conclude this evening, the Mariners will likely see more of their most prominent players return to the fold. Still here, however, is Logan Gilbert, who will give the familiar Angels a few turns through the order […]
Justin Wrobleski and the Dodgers host the White Sox at Camelback Ranch for a Saturday matchup.
Jacob Misiorowski is on the mound today as the Milwaukee Brewers take on a split-squad Colorado Rockies lineup this afternoon. Zach Agnos will start for the Rockies. It’ll be just Misiorowski’s second outing in the Cactus League, following his March 8 outing against the Mariners in which he allowed one run on two hits and […]
