The Philadelphia Phillies have strengthened their farm system by signing veteran infielder Luke Ritter to a minor-league contract and assigning him to Double-A. Ritter, a seventh-round pick by the New York Mets in the 2019 MLB Draft, spent several years in the Mets organization before brief stints with the Los Angeles Angels and Detroit Tigers…
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…
One moment he was the best player on the pitch. The next he was walking down the tunnel at halftime with no explanation and 70,000 fans collectively holding their breath. Christian Pulisic coming off at the break against Paraguay was the one moment that threatened to put a dampener on an otherwise perfect evening for…
Five World Cup appearances. Three assists. And a record that Cristiano Ronaldo — with 22 appearances and six World Cups under his belt — has never managed to match. Captain America is doing something very special. And the tournament has barely even started. The Number That Stopped Everyone In Their Tracks Let’s put this into…
70,000 seats. A historic 4-1 win. And somewhere in that vast SoFi Stadium bowl, scattered among tens of thousands of screaming fans, sat some of the most recognisable faces on the planet. President Trump couldn’t make it — he had an 80th birthday party to plan back in Washington, which is a sentence that exists…
70,492 fans packed into SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Friday night. And every single one of them witnessed something that hasn’t happened in nearly a century of American football history. The United States didn’t just beat Paraguay 4-1 in their World Cup opener. They rewrote the record books while doing it. A First Half…
The Chicago Cubs have lost two straight to the Colorado Rockies and are staring down the barrel of a sweep in Denver. Not exactly the position a team with playoff ambitions wants to find itself in. So naturally something had to change — and Alex Bregman is right at the centre of it. The Change…
There are polite ways to say a team played badly. Charles Barkley has never been interested in polite. After one of the most jaw dropping collapses in NBA Finals history, Sir Charles sat down on Inside the NBA alongside Shaquille O’Neal, Kenny Smith and Draymond Green — and absolutely unloaded on the San Antonio Spurs…
Blowing a 29 point lead in the NBA Finals is the kind of thing that breaks teams. Not just in the moment — but in the days that follow, in the locker room, in the warm ups, in the quiet moments before tip off when nobody’s talking but everybody’s thinking the same thing. San Antonio…
The Texas Rangers are still waiting on their number one overall prospect to return from elbow surgery. But while Sebastian Walcott works his way back, someone else just walked into the Dominican Summer League and immediately demanded everyone’s attention. He’s 17 years old. He’s been a professional baseball player for approximately two games. And he…
