The San Francisco Giants begin this three-game road series against the Baltimore Orioles this afternoon. Tonight’s game will only be broadcast on Apple TV, so just a heads up if you don’t have that you’ll have to tune in on the radio. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Landen Roupp, who enters […]
After a six-game road trip that saw the Orioles both sweep and get swept, they are back home to kick off a six-game homestand against two NL West teams. First up, it’s the fellow orange and black San Francisco Giants, who are off to 5-8 start and in last place in their division. There won’t […]
Go Rays!
Game one of three with the Twins in Toronto. It is a City Connects game, so we’ll get to see the CC jerseys (like it or not). I’m still in Japan. If all goes as planned, we should be in Kobe. I’m hoping to get a dinner of Kobe beef at some point this trip, […]
The Dodgers continue their weekend series against the Texas Rangers, their third interleague opponent in the first five series of the season, on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium. Emmet Sheehan takes the ball for his third start of the season on Saturday night. After pitching only 3 1/3 innings in his first start of the […]
After a very bad and nasty 1-5 road trip, the Mariners return home for a little 4-game set against their division arch-rivals, the Houston Astros. With the Mariners currently sitting in dead last in the AL West, a win tonight is greatly needed. Tonight also has the distinction of being both Ichiro Statue day and […]

For eight teams— no. 1 Oklahoma, no. 2 LSU, no. 3 Florida, no. 4 UCLA, no. 6 Georgia, no. 7 Stanford, no. 9 Arkansas, and no. 13 Minnesota — dreams of a national championship are still alive. Everyone else? In the same boat as our favorite team, the no. 8 Missouri Tigers. The seasons of […]

Mancino Man was weasing the juice late in last night’s game, and all but singlehandedly turned a pitcher’s duel into a 10-5 blowout win for the Diamond Dores. In addition to Mancino Man’s 2 dongs, a double, and 6 RBI, The Brode Man and The Hulk had a pair of doubles in the 4th, Hulk […]
Shōta Imanaga was absolutely magnificent Friday at Wrigley Field. He allowed just one baserunner, a two-out walk in the second inning. (More on that later.) He struck out nine. Imanaga had to be removed after six innings, having thrown 100 pitches. No one quibbles with that. He was the first Cubs pitcher to throw 100 […]
Jose Franco played the role of long man in the Cincinnati Reds bullpen through the first two weeks of the 2026 season. He’s a starter by trade – and a promising one, at that – but manager Terry Francona needed to lean on him in that role given the banged-up nature of the rest of […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Diamondbacks: Let’s talk about it.
The A’s announced on Friday afternoon the placement of Designated Hitter Brent Rooker on the 10-day IL with what the team is calling an oblique strain: It’s a tough blow for the Athletics’ offense. Though he’s scuffled in the early going it seemed that Rook was starting to get his bat on track in recent […]
Good afternoon everyone, it’s time to dive back into the mailbag and answer some of your questions. Remember to send in your questions for our weekly call by e-mail to pinstripealleyblog [at] gmail [dot] com. jmack175 asks: Is there a scenario where McMahon would be released at the deadline if a stronger option presented itself? Or […]
This will be the last post in this brief series and with all the players left having less than 25 plate appearances I have decided to look at the Jays team underlying data to see how that compares to last years version. 2025 Blue Jays Last season the Jays as a team hit 265/333/427 with […]
As the Braves kick off their homestand against the Guardians, you can read about the pitching matchup between Bryce Elder and Slade Cecconi in the game preview here. Michael Harris returns to his spot in centerfield and at the bottom of the lineup, as the Braves hope he can get better results, as he has […]
This is of course no surprise after the ugly collision between Riley Greene and center fielder Parker Meadows in Thursday’s loss to the Minnesota Twins. Meadows and Greene appeared to clip heads as the latter settled under a Josh Bell fly ball at Target Field in the 8th inning. Greene was able to protect himself […]
You have spoken and honestly, your reaction was a little surprising. Given the negativity generated by much of the fan base around Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Bryce Elder coming into the regular season, only 12-percent were not-at-all sold on Elder’s strong beginning to the 2026 season. That’s not to say most of you are convinced, […]
After two straight perfect days, the San Francisco Giants finally saw one of their Minor League Baseball affiliates lose on Thursday….and then another one, too. But it was still a very nice day on the farm. So let’s talk about it. Link to the 2026 McCovey Chronicles Community Prospect List (CPL) All listed positions in […]
