How will San Diego implement new ABS system?

The 2026 MLB season is finally upon us and, with it, one of the sport’s newest major rule changes since commissioner Rob Manfred took up the mantle in 2015. The ABS (automated ball-strike system) is here. As with many rule changes, fans of the sport are divided over it, but it’s here to stay. Because […]

Athletics Community Prospect List: Hoglund Lands At #16

*In an effort to make the nomination voting easier for everyone, I will comment, “NOMINATIONS”, and you may reply to that with your picks and upvote the player you’d like to see on the next nominee list. Another right-handed pitcher! Gunnar Hoglund probably dropped farther than a lot of other fans wanted but he finally settles […]

Spring Training February 21 game thread: Braves at Rays

The offseason is officially over and now it’s time to get rocking and rolling. While it’s not quite the same as Opening Day and never will be on that level, it’s still lovely to either turn on the TV or fire up the radio and hear the crack of the bat and baseballs hitting leather […]

Happy Birthday Devon Travis

One of my all-time favourites, Devon Travis, turns 35 today. Travis joined the Blue Jays in a trade with the Tigers on November 13, 2014, with Anthony Gose heading to Detroit. Travis ranked #84 on Baseball America’s top 100 prospects list. Gose, though speedy, had been a disappointment for us, hitting .247/.315/.363 with 34 stolen […]

Pirates hero, Hall of Famer Bill Mazeroski passes away at 89

The Pittsburgh Pirates and Major League Baseball community learned of the passing of second baseman, Bill Mazeroski, on Saturday morning after he passed away on Friday evening. Mazeroski was 89. Mazeroski leaves behind a legacy as one of the most accomplished defensive second baseman in baseball history, and of course lives on in the minds […]

Who do we over-rate?

We are Arizona fans, and that perhaps leads us to view the players on the team with rose-tinted glasses. Certainly, we’ve seen players where local opinion have changed dramatically once they become part of the D-backs. Zack Greinke might be the clearest example. He was a hated Dodger – not least for his part in […]

Cactus League Game 1 – Reds vs. Guardians

The Cincinnati Reds return to baseball action today at 3:05 PM ET, kicking off their 2026 Cactus League campaign in the cozy home confines of Goodyear Ballpark in Goodyear, Arizona. They’ll do so as the away team, however, as it will be the Cleveland Guardians claiming the home game from the dugout on the other […]

Spring Training Game Thread: Red Sox at Twins

Is it on TV? Yup, this one’s on NESN again. First pitch at 1:05 PM. What’s the lineup? What should we watch out for? There’s a lot to pick from in this one. Payton Tolle will be must-watch all spring, though no one should read too much into his performance this early on. With the […]

New York Rangers place Matt Rempe on IR

The New York Rangers will come out of the Olympic break without their enforcer available, as towering forward Matt Rempe needs another procedure on his thumb and will land on injured reserve once the NHL season resumes. According to Mollie Walker of the New York Post, reporting from Milan, Rempe's expected to have another procedure completed on his left thumb, and he's going to miss several weeks to recover. Some #NYR news from Milan: Matt Rempe will have another procedure done on his thumb. H...

Spring Game #1 GameThread: Phillies @ Jays

These 1:00 Eastern starts really mess with my day. Being in Alberta, it is an 11:00 start. I like to get a workout in, but I’m not an early riser, so getting a GameThread together and working out before 11:00 is not going to happen. On the other hand, watching an 11:00 start-time game, doing […]
