Two separate ten game winning streaks. And yet the Chicago Cubs sit at 39-36, third in the NL Central, eight games back of the division lead. That’s the kind of season that makes you scratch your head — flashes of brilliance buried inside a frustrating, inconsistent grind. The trade deadline is coming. And there’s no…
The Chicago Cubs’ disappointing 2026 season was highlighted again in Tuesday’s 5-2 loss to the Colorado Rockies, exposing many of the same problems that have followed the team all year. Another pitching injury surfaced when Edward Cabrera exited with a cramp in his throwing hand, while the offense failed to capitalize on scoring opportunities, going…
Corey Seager has been the heartbeat of the Texas Rangers since the day he signed his ten year, $325 million contract back in 2021. A World Series ring in 2023 proved every dollar of that investment was worth it. And right now, for the first time since putting on that uniform, fans are genuinely…
Two months ago Riley Tirotta was on a shortlist to make his Major League debut. A genuine call-up candidate. A guy who’d ground his way through the minors, learned multiple positions, done everything right. Then the Blue Jays released him. Just like that. No fanfare, no explanation that made any real sense — just a…
Most coaches land a big recruit and spend at least a week basking in it. Maybe a celebratory dinner. A couple of glad-handing phone calls. A moment to exhale. Not Mark Pope. The man landed Milan Momcilovic — a five-star transfer — and within the same week had turned around and locked down five-star freshman…
At this point Cubs fans aren’t even shocked anymore. They’re just tired. Deeply, bone crushingly tired of refreshing their phones and seeing another injury notification pop up before they’ve even finished their morning coffee. Daniel Palencia. Fifteen day IL. Right elbow inflammation. Of course. How It Happened The cruel part is that Palencia looked…
Edward Cabrera walked off the mound at Wrigley Field on Tuesday night wearing the face of a man who had just been through something genuinely frightening. Hand cramping up mid outing, velocity already a concern, command deserting him in the fifth — and a Cubs rotation that simply cannot afford another setback watching on…
The Texas Rangers loaded the bases against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday. Again. And once again they did absolutely nothing with it. The final score was 6-3 to Boston and another golden opportunity went to waste. This isn’t a one off. This isn’t a rough patch. This is a full blown trend — and…
The Philadelphia Phillies have one of the most fearsome top three rotations in all of baseball. Christopher Sanchez, Zack Wheeler and Jesus Luzardo is the kind of 1-2-3 punch that gives opposing lineups nightmares before they even step into the batter’s box. But beyond those three? Things get uncomfortable very quickly. And one young pitcher…
There are Kentucky players. And then there’s Otega Oweh. The man who hit more clutch shots in two seasons than most players manage in entire careers — and who will go down as a modern Wildcats legend regardless of what happens next. But what happens next is the question nobody can quite answer right now….
