After last night’s grotesque performance, the Mariners will send another of their young pitchers to the mound tonight, Bryce Miller, to face the crafty veteran and ex-Marine player Nester Cortes. Cortes and the Yankees will be looking to secure a postseason berth, which they can do with a win tonight. Lineups: News: Victor Robles is […]
The Mariners’ last-minute attempt to sneak into the playoffs took a positive turn over the weekend. Their series win over the Rangers, the Twins’ loss to the Reds and yesterday’s loss to the Guardians mean the M’s are just two games back in the wild card race and four games back in the AL West. […]
Well, it was certainly fun beating the Texas Rangers for three games, but this week is about to get a lot more exciting with a series against the Yankees that ends the Mariners’ long homestand. After that, they’ll go on an Oops! tour of all the Texas teams, then come back for a quick three-game […]
After a solid road trip that included series wins over the Giants and Diamondbacks (with a chance to sweep Arizona on Sunday), the Brewers face another heavyweight opponent, the Phillies, in Milwaukee starting Monday with a chance to secure the NL Central title at home. Philadelphia held Milwaukee’s offense to just two runs in a […]
Last year, the Cubs played the Athletics in Oakland in April when the A’s were on their way to a 12-50 start. The Cubs won the series, defeating the A’s 16-3. Oakland lost 112 games. I’m here to tell you that the A’s are better this year. Much better. In May/June as a whole they […]
Due to a strange quirk of the schedule, the Brewers will face an NL opponent for the first time this season in September. The Brewers and Diamondbacks will meet for the first time this season and will play all seven of this season’s games over the next 10 days. It’s been nearly a year since […]
After the devastating 5-4 opening loss against the Rangers last night, the M’s want to get back on track tonight, but they have to do so without Luis Castillo. Lineups: For the fourth consecutive year, the M’s will be using the same lineup. I wonder when that last happened. Emerson Hancock will take the ball […]
We’ve almost come full circle on the 2024 season. The Cubs’ first home series took place on April 1, 2 and 3 at Wrigley Field against the Rockies, and the Cubs won the series 26-10 against the visitors from Colorado. That sounds good, but the third of those games, a 9-8 victory, foreshadowed problems in […]
The Mariners are once again supporting players in another team’s national storyline: Tonight, Kumar Rocker makes his highly anticipated MLB debut against the Mariners. Rocker, a standout at Vanderbilt, was once considered the top pick in the 2021 MLB Draft, but then didn’t sign with the Mets after questions arose about his physical condition, played […]
The last time these two teams met was 155 days ago, on April 7 at Wrigley Field, on a cold, rainy afternoon when the game was delayed nearly three hours because of rain. The Cubs won 8-1. All three relievers who played for the Cubs that day are either on the IL, in Triple-A, or […]
