The first no-hitter in San Diego Padres history was thrown by Joe Musgrove and on April 14th, Chicago’s Carlos Rodon added to the season total of no-nos. Healthy and a part of Chicago’s rotation again, Rodon was ready for business. And thus far, he has shown exactly that.
Monday, April 12th was a pretty busy day. There were a ton of MLB, NBA, and NHL games, while the latter had their trade deadline.
This week’s Sunday Shenanigans brings us back to a week ago. April 4’s Sunday Night Baseball clash between the Chicago White Sox and Los Angeles Angels was a pretty standard baseball game throughout five innings. That is, if the pitcher mashing a home run while striking out seven is standard to you.
What makes the AL Central so special thus far is a pair of rookies. These two are hitters who have received national attention despite being on almost no one’s radar at the start of the year.
One long withstanding complaint from hockey fans of all communities is how the Norris Trophy voting is handled. Generally, the defenseman with the most points ends up winning the award for defenseman, and actual defense is not factored in.
The New Jersey Devils lost 5-4 to the Washington Capitals on Easter Sunday, but that was far from the most important story of the day.
Welcome to the very first installment of Sunday’s Shenanigans, a weekly article detailing the craziest, chaotic moment in Major League Baseball over the past seven days.
The New York Yankees’ Opening Day roster is in, and if you sat out Spring Training, then there is one name that will surprise you. That is none other than Lucas Luetge, who will also have people pronouncing his name wrong (Baseball-Reference has it as LIT-KEY).
Carter LaCorte takes a deep dive into the upcoming MLB free agency period and predicts landing spots for the top five shortstops available.
The Padres are going to be so much fun. They were last year, when they followed up Manny Machado’s initial year and Fernando Tatis Jr.’s rookie season by finishing 37-23, which was second in the National League. Of course, the rival Dodgers cleaned up pretty quickly, but now general manager AJ Preller is making sure that does not happen again.
The 2021 Major League Baseball season is fast approaching. Opening Day is in under two weeks. So, here are your top remaining free agents, and why they are still available.
The New York Islanders have been surging. They have won seven straight, losing last on February 27th. That was in overtime against the Penguins, and considering they won the two games prior to that, they have a 10 game point streak and last lost in regulation on February 20th, also against Pittsburgh. They have lost just twice at home, and they were both in overtime. Right now, they sit atop the East division with a 17-6-4 record and a .704 points percentage. So of course, the Hockey Gods had to try to stop them.
