After their record-setting, instantly-ensconced in baseball lore marathon Game 3 that took place last night, the Dodgers and Blue Jays are right back to it tonight for Game 4. Shohei Ohtani is poised to embellish his legend by pitching in a World Series, the first two-way player to do so since Babe Ruth in Game […]
LOS ANGELES — Game 4 of the World Series is all about how two spent teams can bounce back after playing 18 innings in Game 3. The Dodgers are running back the same starting nine for an eighth straight game, including catcher Will Smith. Smith caught all 18 innings of Game 3, four more innings […]
The Blue Jays are at it again.
Building strong bullpens was never a strong suit of Nationals’ former GM Mike Rizzo, and that fact was on clear display this season, as the Nats’ relief unit was as bad as bullpens come, finishing last in baseball with a 5.59 ERA and second to last with a 4.86 FIP. While some additions to the […]
There are some safe assumptions, such as the Diamondbacks’ defense will improve significantly. Making safe assumptions will not reveal whether the Diamondbacks are on-track. More insightful are two assumptions with uncertainty that can be tracked during next season: Tracking Pitching. Obvious statistics like ERA lack the game-specific flavor that seems important to me. In 2025, […]

With the richest and fifth-richest teams squaring off in the Fall Classic, many MLB owners and some analysts will argue that the 2025 World Series is more evidence supporting the need for a salary cap. Before […]
The unlikely Game 3 World Series hero for the Los Angeles Dodgers has some fun quirks. The post Dodgers hero Will Klein wore a ‘Rapinoe-Kaepernick 2020’ shirt and dresses up his cats for Christmas appeared first on Outsports .
Louisville took on Boston College last weekend at home with the goal of not having a letdown game like Jeff Brohm has had in the past. They beat Miami, in part, because they schemed up an aggressive game plan on both sides of the ball. Brohm used creative formations and play calls to put Miami […]
One of the things I try to watch out for, in myself as a fan/commentator is to try remember there are things I don’t know. I remember reading Bill James’ Baseball Abstracts, all those years ago, and I remember him saying ‘I’m just getting to the point where I’m finding out all that I don’t […]

How late did you stick with extra innings in Game 3 of the World Series? You’ve had to rally your team after […] The post Craig Berube on the message to Nick Robertson & Bobby McMann on the Matthews line: “Don’t change who you are as a player because you are playing with Aus...
Not so long ago, I found myself thinking about this AL MVP race, and particularly how, in pretty remarkable ways, the productions from both Aaron Judge and Cal Raleigh transcend the usual standard for this award. Whoever misses out on the award will do so with a historic season, and while it won’t be the […]
The Colorado Rockies always select a lot of pitchers in each year’s Major League Baseball Amateur Draft. 2025 was no exception, as they drafted 14. However, it was Jonathan Bailey “JB” Middleton from the University of Southern Mississippi that was their first off the board. The Mississippi native’s freshman season at Southern Mississippi was a […]

Wow. So, where do they go from here? Last night’s game was epic in every way. All of us are exhausted. Personally, after going to be at 3:15 am Eastern, I’m surprised my brain is functioning enough to write this. That fatigue will be the story line for Game 4, starting most notably with the […]
The New York Rangers are riding the struggle bus. General manager Chris Drury is not liking what he's seeing so far from his hockey club, as the Rangers are off to a 3-5-2 record to start the year, and sit second last in the Eastern Conference. Their offense has produced just 22 goals in 10 games, and despite having Igor Shesterkin in net, that's simply not good enough. Moves could be coming sooner than later. According to David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period, the Rangers have three prime trade...
