During free agency before the 2019 season, Patrick Corbin was on top of the world. He was coming off of a career season for the Arizona Diamondbacks and had many suitors. Since becoming a champion, he has made just 17 starts and health has not been an issue. Unfortunately, his play has.
The NHL is expanding again, and you know what that means; one player from every team (except for the Golden Knights, who are a top-five team!) will prepare to move cities as they join the first class of the Seattle Kraken.
For the first six weeks of the Sunday Shenanigans series, no week was harder than this one. The Astros’ first visit to Yankee Stadium since the news of their cheating scandal broke was bound to cause some crazy actions from fans, and we will get to that later. Angel Hernandez was umpiring a series, and multiple rough calls in an inning against Kansas City’s Brady Singer got three ejected.
On Monday night, Capitals forward Tom Wilson punched Rangers player Pavel Buchnevich while he was in a defenseless position. Wilson then proceeded to slam Buchnevich’s protector, Artemi Panarin, which caused Panarin to miss the rest of the game, and most likely the remainder of the 2020-21 season.
There have been a ton of absolutely awful calls by Major League umpires. Luckily, this has mostly been erased by the replay rule, as whenever an umpire messes up, the affected team can usually choose to review the play to change the outcome.
Entering this season, the American League East division had a pretty clear hierarchy. Through the first month of the year, that seems to have been flipped on itself.
In their wins against Jacob deGrom and Corbin Burnes, the Marlins allowed a combined zero runs. Who was their starting pitcher in those two games? It was Trevor Rogers. For those who were previously unaware of Rogers, it may be time that to start paying attention to this 23-year-old.
Tyler Glasnow’s fifth start, coming against the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday, would be his worst of the season. And there would be no shortage of shenanigans.
The Seattle Mariners currently sit in second place in the AL West, trailing white-hot the Oakland Athletics by one game with a 12-8 record. This is a team that went 27-33 last year and infamously has not made the playoffs since 2001.
On April 19th, 2021, San Jose’s Patrick Marleau will set an NHL record. The Sharks’ game against the Vegas Golden Knights will be the 1,768th of his career. If that seems like a lot, that’s because it is.
No one has ever mistaken sports fans to be a calm bunch, especially those of big-market teams. However, on April 16, some New York Yankees fans got hostile over the team’s performance and took things to a new level.
Before the Yankees’ Sunday game against the Tampa Bay Rays, veteran first baseman Jay Bruce announced his retirement following the game.
