Baltimore Orioles’ young outfielder Kyle Stowers is trying his best to make the questions about the Opening Day roster uncomfortable for O’s management. Playing against the Detroit Tigers in split-squad action on Sunday, Stowers has blasted three home runs, doing something that hasn’t been done in the last six years of spring training. Per Sarah Langs of MLB.com: Kyle Stowers ! The twelfth three-homer game in spring training since at least 2006 and first since Mike Zunino on March 21, 2018 After the second home run of that, Orioles’ reporter Andy Kostka put the following out on “X:” Kyle Stowers…
SARASOTA, Fla. – Two off-days in one spring training? This must be how the other half lives. I’d ask why the Orioles usually don’t get multiple breaks in their schedule, but I’m here to supply answers. That’s supposed to be my contribution to the mailbag. You remember the mailbag, of course. Sequel after sequel to the beloved 2008 original. Informative, mildly entertaining, never edited except for your crude profanities. I’m not worried about length. It’s the freakin’ internet. Your style is fine with me, though I’d lengthen those shorts. An important reminder that my mailbag is chosen to “Spring Breakout”…
The Los Angeles Lakers suffered a costly loss to the Golden State Warriors on Saturday night, putting them in a tie for ninth and 10th place in the Western Conference with only a handful of games to go. The loss did not come without some controversy as there were a number of stoppages late in the game. With around two minutes to play, LeBron James drilled a 3-pointer from the corner to bring the Lakers within four. After Anthony Davis went down with an injury, the Lakers were doing there best to chip away at the Warriors’ lead and seemed…
It’s hardly a coincidence that Milwaukee Bucks superstars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard have started gelling like they have of late now that Doc Rivers is sitting at the helm. On Sunday against the Los Angeles Clippers, Giannis and Dame combined for 69 points as they showed the entre basketball world what they’re truly capable of as a duo. Surely, Coach Doc deserves at least some credit for this recent surge.
48 hours ago, the LA Clippers experienced one of the worst losses of the season, courtesy of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Now, they have a chance to redeem themselves against a Chicago Bulls team that’s on the second night of a back-to-back. The Clippers have three players listed on their injury report: Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, and Russell Westbrook. Kawhi Leonard is questionable with thoracic spasms that kept him out of Tuesday night’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. James Harden is listed as questionable with a left shoulder strain that he mentioned was bothering him after the game on Tuesday. Russell…
Chael Sonnen isn’t buying when Mike Tyson is selling. The former UFC middleweight championship contender accused Tyson, the former boxing heavyweight champion, of faking his training video for an upcoming fight against Jake Paul at AT&T Stadium on July 20 in Netflix’s first boxing event. Tyson, 57, posted a video Wednesday to show off his first day of training in preparation to take on the 27-year-old Paul, who is 9-1 since he began boxing in 2020.
Over much of 2023, as the Marc Marquez-to-Gresini story gathered steam and eventually became reality, the manufacturer providing his MotoGP bike for this year – Ducati – was generally regarded as somewhere between reluctant and uninvolved. While there were rumblings of the brand making an approach directly to Marquez to place him on a factory-supported bike, the Gresini deal was ultimately portrayed as a privateer outfit making its own decision as to its rider line-up – with Ducati’s general blessing, yes, but with it hardly being a motivator or a driving force. And this, logic dictated, would mean that even…
