Game Thread #1: Milwaukee Brewers (0-0) @ New York Mets (0-0)

Joe Rondone/The Republic / USA TODAY NETWORK Opening Day is finally here for the Brewers The Brewers are set to kick off another season Friday, as they prepare to take on the New York Mets in Queens. The Brewers are 28-26-1 all time on Opening Day (yes, they tied the Reds in 2000 and finished the season 73-89-1). They’re 16-17-1 on the road on Opening Day, including losses on the road against the Cubs in three of the last four seasons. This is the first time the Brewers have ever played the Mets on Opening Day, although they’ve played in New York against the Yankees...

Rivalry Roundup: An Opening Day O’s blowout

For those unfamiliar, we like to keep tabs on some of the Yankees’ top rivals for the American League pennant throughout the MLB season, so this daily feature was created a couple years ago to supplement our Yankees game recaps.

Friday Open Thread: Which athlete from another sport would you put on the roster?

Friday Open Thread: Which athlete from another sport would you put on the roster?

Photo by Don Juan Moore/ And where would you put them? Most professional athletes, if you were to glance in their yearbooks, probably excelled at more than one sport before they settled in and chose the one they would spend their career on. While that doesn’t necessarily mean everyone who is a major league caliber baseball player could have done football or basketball instead, there have certainly been many players who were good enough to do more than one sport professionally. Our open thread discussion this week asks: if you could take a professional athlete from any...

New season, old friends: Phillies vs. Braves series preview

It didn’t go so well for Orlando Arcia the last time he came to Philadelphia | Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports The season opens against our good friends from Atlanta Welcome to another season of Phillies baseball. (Pause for polite applause.) After two straight years of falling short in the playoffs, the Phillies goal for 2024 is clear: Win the World Series. As any Phillies fan could tell you, that won’t be easy, because the Phillies have accomplished that feat a total of two times in their 141 seasons. But it’s been 15 years since the last time they hoisted that...

Who is John Sherman?

Who is John Sherman?

Photo by Ed Zurga/ Like the guy next door, except richer In the past, I’ve written stories critical of how the Royals organization has handled their downtown stadium negotiations. And while I don’t back away from the ham-handed way that process has been going, I did start to wonder if perhaps I have gotten the wrong idea about Royals owner John Sherman. After all, I’ve never met Sherman, so it’s impossible to know someone without meeting them. This got me wondering, have I formed the wrong opinion about John Sherman? Has my opinion of him been unfairly...

The D-backs went on to score 14 runs on 13 hits—both franchise records for most in an inning. Colorado pulled left-handed starter Kyle Freeland after six runs came across, but the D-backs went on to...

Julio Rodriguez, Ichiro a hit as Mariners reintroduce popular commercials

It all came so naturally to them, the connection from one Mariners star to another. Julio Rodriguez and Ichiro hit it off immediately when Rodriguez, then 19, made his first appearance in the Mariners’ big-league spring camp four years ago. They gravitate toward one another still, playing catch or hitting in batting cages next to […]

Corbin Burnes, the Orioles’ new No. 1 starter, en route to racking up 11 strikeouts in his Opening Day team debut. | Photo by Greg Fiume/ Corbin Burnes turned in the most impressive Opening Day performance by an Orioles starter in decades. Happy Opening Day, Birdland! That was lots of fun, wasn’t it? On Wednesday afternoon, the Orioles convincingly thrashed the Los Angeles Angels in a 11-3 Opening Day win. A not-terribly-controversial Top 3 countdown of the most impressive things witnessed yesterday might look like this: 3. The national anthem. I’ve heard it a...

Rangers 4, Cubs 3: Justin Steele leaves with hamstring tightness

Photo by Stacy Revere/ This was not a good way to start the 2024 season. I have a request. Next time the Cubs open a season — a year or so from now — could we have a little less controversy and injury? The Cubs lost Game 1 of the 2024 season to the Rangers 4-3 in 10 innings, and also have likely lost ace Justin Steele to the injured list, though for how long is not yet certain. This game also featured the Cubs taking the lead three times, blowing said lead three times, a wacky and controversial play at home plate, a pinch home run by a player who had previously hit...

Yankees 2024 Minor League Preview: Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders

Photo by Adam Hunger/ Familiar friends and former foes head up the RailRiders roster. Juggling minor league rosters is always a challenge for any MLB team. Trying to decide roster spots between top prospects and league veterans is a tricky tightrope to walk. The term “Scranton Shuttle” has been thrown out a lot in recent years due to the Yankees consistent need to shuffle depth players back and forth from Scranton. Expect that term to continue to garner heavy usage, as the RailRiders’ expected roster is loaded with lots of former MLB experience, along with some...
