Posted on March 10, 2017, by Bryan Zarpentine It’s hard not to feel bad for what happened to the Los Angeles Angels last season. An unfair amount of injuries, particularly to the starting rotation, made it impossible for the Halos to remain competitive. Fortunately, they’ll get a chance to hit the reset button in 2017. […]
Posted on March 9, 2017, by Travis Pulver Nine teams started the 2017 off-season with over $50 million in cap space to spend. Of the nine, only one—the New England Patriots—saw action in the postseason last year. So, theoretically, if they use their cap space well, the playoff landscape could look drastically different next year. […]
Posted on March 9, 2017, by Travis Pulver San Antonio had a chance to do something special Wednesday night against the Sacramento Kings. With a win, the Spurs could extend their record for consecutive seasons with 50+ wins to 18. They stood at 49 going on, had won their last eight, and were completely expected […]
Posted on March 9, 2017, by Bryan Zarpentine The Oakland Athletics are officially looking for an opening day starter. The team announced Thursday that ace Sonny Gray is being shut down because of a lat injury. Gray will refrain from any kind of throwing for at least three weeks, meaning he will open the 2017 […]
Posted on March 9, 2017, by Travis Pulver The Golden State Warriors knew they were taking a chance a couple of years ago when they signed Steve Kerr to be the team’s new head coach. A former player, TV analyst, and executive, he had no coaching experience before taking the job with the Warriors. But […]
Posted on March 9, 2017, by Bryan Zarpentine For the second time this spring, Texas Rangers starting pitcher Andrew Cashner has been shut down after an injury setback. Cashner was shut down earlier this month after experiencing soreness in his biceps. When the pain subsided, Cashner began throwing again, only for the pain to resurface, […]
Posted on March 9, 2017, by Bryan Zarpentine Last season, the Los Angeles Angels suffered an inordinate amount of injuries to their starting rotation, and things may not be off to a great start in that department in 2017. Lefty Tyler Skaggs has been scratched from his next scheduled start this Friday because of shoulder […]
Posted on March 8, 2017, by Bryan Zarpentine The Baltimore Orioles optioned outfielder Dariel Alvarez to minor league camp on Tuesday. On Wednesday, Alvarez reported to minor league camp as a pitcher. The Orioles have decided to convert the 28-year old Cuban into a pitcher, believing his best chance to have a productive big league […]
Posted on March 8, 2017, by Bryan Zarpentine The Tampa Bay Rays will need things to fall perfectly into place for them if they’re going to be competitive in 2017. Unfortunately, things are not off to a good start, as several notable players are battling injuries less than three weeks from the start of the […]
Posted on March 8, 2017, by Bryan Zarpentine One of the biggest keys for the Texas Rangers this season is the top of their rotation, most notably Cole Hamels and Yu Darvish, pitching like frontline starters. There’s little concern that Hamels will be at the top of his game in 2017, but heading into spring […]
Posted on March 7, 2017, by Bryan Zarpentine The Los Angeles Dodgers received some good news on the injury front Tuesday when an MRI on starter Scott Kazmir’s hip came back negative. Kazmir was forced to leave Monday’s spring training game one pitch into his second inning of work because of tightness in his hip […]
Posted on March 7, 2017, by Bryan Zarpentine Aside from all the trade rumors about Andrew McCutchen, which ultimately went nowhere, and the uncertainty surrounding Jung Ho Kang for his off-field trouble, it was a relatively quiet offseason for the Pittsburgh Pirates, who made no significant changes to their roster. After three straight trips to […]
Posted on March 7, 2017, by Travis Pulver Earlier this season, LeBron James made it clear that he really wanted some more help on the roster. During the season, barring a trade, it is kind of hard to add anything substantial. But the team was able to land a couple of quality bench players in […]
Posted on March 7, 2017, by Travis Pulver NBA fans in San Antonio knew they were in for an exciting game Monday night. Games against in-state rivals that also happen to be in the same division are always good games—but this one had a little more. It also featured two of the top candidates for […]
Posted on March 7, 2017, by Bryan Zarpentine With opening day slowly creeping closer, the Toronto Blue Jays remain concerned and uncertain about the status of second baseman Devon Travis, who is coming off knee surgery. Travis has had problems staying healthy and on the field during his first two seasons in the majors, and […]
Posted on March 6, 2017, by Bryan Zarpentine In 2016, the Cleveland Indians emerged from mediocrity to win the AL Central and the American League pennant, coming within a game of winning the World Series. Now team ownership is all-in on going for a championship and the club has great expectations heading into 2017. Can […]
Posted on March 6, 2017, by Bryan Zarpentine A mysterious back injury has kept Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl on the sidelines for much of spring training. The Rockies are hopeful that a firm diagnosis of the problem will come soon and that Dahl will be able to resume baseball activities sooner rather than later. […]
Posted on March 6, 2017, by Travis Pulver It had to happen eventually. The Pelicans were bound to win one with DeMarcus Cousins in the lineup. They hoped it wouldn’t take a couple of weeks—but it did. To be fair, they have played some good teams since Boogie Cousins joined the team. But they were […]
Posted on March 6, 2017, by Bryan Zarpentine After being released by the Chicago White Sox last week, it may not take long for infielder Brett Lawrie to find a new job. There are already reports linking Lawrie to four major league clubs. MLB insider Jim Bowden reported on Sunday that the Blue Jays, Mets, […]
Posted on March 5, 2017, by Bryan Zarpentine Matt Harvey stepped on a big league mound for the first time in eight months Sunday, but it wasn’t quite the grand re-entrance to the New York Mets rotation he or the team may have been expecting. Despite striking out three, Harvey failed to complete the 2nd […]
Posted on March 5, 2017, by Bryan Zarpentine The odds are already stacked against the rebuilding Cincinnati Reds heading into the 2017 season, and now it appears as if they will be without their ace on opening day. After being forced to the sidelines at the end of February because of elbow tenderness, Cincinnati ace Anthony […]
Posted on March 5, 2017, by Travis Pulver Vanderbilt does not have a great basketball team. They are one of the better three-point shooting teams in the nation, but that distinction isn’t enough to qualify them as “good.” Statistically, there is nothing that stands out about this team. Nothing that makes the casual college basketball […]
Posted on March 5, 2017, by Travis Pulver In one sense, the Duke-North Carolina game meant nothing Saturday night. North Carolina had already locked down the ACC regular season title. At worst, they are going to be a No. 2 seed in the Tournament. Their immediate future was already set. Of course, you can’t tell […]
Posted March 5, 2017, 2017 by Bryan Zarpentine Through a slew of acquisitions this offseason, the Houston Astros have put together what on paper looks like a modern-day Murderers’ Row lineup offensively. However, the challenge the Astros face is finding a defensive position for all of their sluggers. In order to find a place for […]
Posted on March 4, 2017, by Bryan Zarpentine After missing the postseason in three of the last four years, the New York Yankees are turning over a new leaf. After being sellers at last year’s trade deadline, the Bronx Bombers are now loaded with young talent and willing to see where it can take them. […]
Posted on March 4, 2017, by Bryan Zarpentine The Los Angeles Angels pitching staff was decimated by injuries last season, and a month before opening day, the injuries have already started in 2017. Angels closer Huston Street will reportedly be out for the next three to four weeks due to a lat injury. The injury […]
Posted on March 4, 2017, by Travis Pulver According to an old saying, good things come to those who wait. True as it may be, if anyone were to ask fans of the New Orleans Pelicans, most would probably say they are tired of waiting already. Their team made a big move by trading for […]
Posted on March 4, 2017, by Bryan Zarpentine Washington Nationals ace Stephen Strasburg made his spring training debut on Friday. He threw 23 pitches over two shutout innings, and did so while pitching exclusively out of the stretch. Granted, spring training is a time of experimentation, but Strasburg ditching his windup and pitching out of […]
Posted on March 3, 2017, by Travis Pulver Sports fans like records. They love to see them fall. It makes being at the game more memorable for them because “they were there when it happened.” As much as they like to see records fall, there is only one thing they like to see more. They […]
Posted on March 3, 2017, by Bryan Zarpentine That sound you just heard is all of New England collectively exhaling. Following an injury scare earlier this week that forced Boston Red Sox lefty David Price to seek a second opinion on an MRI of his elbow, the team announced Friday that their ace will not […]
Posted on March 3, 2017, by Bryan Zarpentine The Chicago White Sox have parted ways with infielder Brett Lawrie. On Friday, the club requested waivers to give Lawrie his unconditional release. Lawrie spent just one season with the White Sox but was hampered by leg injuries throughout his time with the club. His last appearance during […]
Posted on March 3, 2017, by Bryan Zarpentine The Pittsburgh Pirates have received some good news with regard to the legal troubles of infielder Jung Ho Kang. On Thursday, a South Korean court sentenced Kang to an eight-month prison sentence. However, the sentence has been suspended for two years, which is akin to being on […]
Posted on March 2, 2017, by Bryan Zarpentine When the Washington Nationals signed catcher Matt Wieters earlier this month, it created a logjam for them behind the plate, with four viable backstops on the roster. It now appears, as many suspected, that Derek Norris will be the odd man out, despite the Nationals trading for him […]
Posted on March 2, 2017, by Travis Pulver If you go to a Houston Rockets game thinking you are going to see some crazy, rim-rocking dunks—well, you will probably see a few. But if you go hoping to see them make it rain from behind the arc your wish will likely be granted. Houston is […]
Posted on March 2, 2017, by Bryan Zarpentine It’s barely March and yet injuries are already hampering the Boston Red Sox. For starters, there is concern about Hanley Ramirez, who is nursing a shoulder problem that is preventing him from playing first base and has now taken him out of the World Baseball Classic. Now […]
Posted on March 2, 2017, by Bryan Zarpentine Surprise, surprise, the Seattle Mariners made a trade Wednesday night, their 14th of the offseason. The Mariners have acquired pitching prospect Chase De Jong from the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for minor leaguers Drew Jackson and Aneurys Zabala. The trade is meant to boost Seattle’s starting pitching […]
Posted on March 1, 2017, by Bryan Zarpentine The Arizona Diamondbacks were arguably the biggest disappointment in baseball in 2016. After an offseason of bold moves aimed at becoming instant competitors, the Diamondbacks fell flat on their face, winning just 69 games and finishing 22 games back in the NL West. But with a new […]
Posted on March 1, 2017, by Travis Pulver When the Golden State Warriors signed Kevin Durant in the off-season, the general perception was that it was the NBA Finals or bust for the team. They were already title contenders with their current roster. Add one of the most prolific scorers in the game today to […]
Posted on March 1, 2017, by Bryan Zarpentine Hanley Ramirez, who is poised to fill the shoes of David Ortiz as the primary DH for the Boston Red Sox in 2017, has been hampered this spring by a nagging shoulder injury. The issue has not stopped Ramirez from serving as a DH during spring training […]
Mobile has become the new normal for computing. Used to be we had to wait to get back to our desks to do something. Today we carry mini computers around in our pockets that double as cell phones. Mobile applications have made gambling even more accessible. Do we remember something called the Sports Beeper? This […]
Posted on March 1, 2017, by Travis Pulver It has been a roller-coaster ride of a season for the Duke Blue Devils this year. They’ve gone from being the preseason No. 1 to almost entirely off the radar and back again. But after returning to prominence with a seven-game winning streak, they lost two in […]
Posted on March 1, 2017, by Bryan Zarpentine Of all the transactions the Kansas City Royals made this offseason, by far the most overlooked was the acquisition of slugger Peter O’Brien in a trade with the Arizona Diamondbacks. The trade was overlooked, as O’Brien has just 74 big league at bats to his name heading […]
