Welcome back to another glorious Sunday morning with an interesting looking slate of baseball games ahead. On the surface, it looks to be very pitching
Sunday is a day for relaxation, house chores, quality family time, you name it. It’s a perfect day to set some lineups and have something
WELCOME BACK! BASEBALL IS FINALLY HERE! As of last night, the games matter. Season-long fantasy is going to be extremely difficult to manage and stay on top of this season, with all of the uncertainty ahead. However, on a daily basis, we should be able to narrow down some solid choices to have good production (and actually play, which is maybe the most important part of this current Covid-19 baseball world). With that said, I’m really sick of talking about the pandemic, as I’m sure you are too. It’s baseball time, so let’s get to that. Here are some players I’ll be rolling with tonight.
The MLB Amateur Draft will be on June 10th. Continuing our MLB Draft coverage, let’s take a look at one of the most highly touted arms, who is projected to be a top-five pick. Asa Lacy, the Texas A&M Aggies’ big southpaw hurler, could be the number one pitcher taken in the draft, and all signs point to him being the first lefty off the board. Let’s see what he brings to the table.
The Chicago Cubs franchise, which began in 1876 as the Chicago White Stockings, has a long, tremendous amount of history. After winning two straight World Series titles in 1907 and 1908, the Cubs went through the longest drought in the history of North American sports, not winning another title, until the unthinkable happened and they won it all in 2016. A 108-year drought snapped. Because a lot of those players are still playing, and their stories are still being told, I decided to leave out anyone who could potentially make this list from that team.
s if Chicago Bears fans didn’t know what was going to happen. Ryan Pace hinted at drafting a tight end, and once again traded up instead of down. Meanwhile, I’m not sure I know what’s left from right during this quarantine. We all want to watch sports and are desperately grasping at straws to find any live-action.
Without a first-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, general manager Les Snead and the Los Angeles Rams seemed to have their work cut out for them. Then, the draft took place, and many first-round worthy selections slipped to the second round, where the Rams had two picks. They wound up with nine picks in total, including two third-round picks and three seventh-rounders. But did they make the right moves? Let’s take a look under the hood at the engine that drives this Rams team and what his thought process was like behind each choice.

Well, the Los Angeles Rams offseason started out rather uneventful. Then, they decided to make some splashes, including a somewhat surprising decision to release running back Todd Gurley before he ever played a down of football under his contract extension. Clay Matthews was also cut. Cory Littleton and Dante Fowler Jr. are the two big names that walked in free agency. With Littleton, Fowler, and Matthews all gone, that opens a big gap in the linebacker core, both inside and outside. They did, however, address the defensive line a little, by bringing back Michael Brockers and signing A’Shawn Robinson. The latest move was trading Brandin Cooks and a future fourth-round pick to the Houston Texans for a second-round pick this year.
The NFL draft is right around the corner and for many, the NFL player movement and transactions, has been the only thing in the sports world to get excited about and keep us sane during this tough time. Now that most of the free agency market has been siphoned through, teams will look to the draft to fill the rest of their positional needs. The Chicago Bears made some unexpected moves – one being cutting ties with Leonard Floyd to sign Robert Quinn. Another was, giving tight end Jimmy Graham a sizable contract, while also trading a compensatory fourth-round pick to the Jacksonville Jaguars for quarterback Nick Foles, among other moves.
