San Diego Padres starter Joe Musgrove could barely muster the willpower Friday night, so desperately needing to use the bathroom. He drank 11 or 12 water bottles, and, man, never did a dugout urinal look so inviting. Still, just like most ballplayers, the dude is superstitious.

Joe Musgrove has thrown the first no-hitter in San Diego Padres history. Musgrove, one of the many pitchers the Padres traded for this past offseason, was brilliant Friday night against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.

LOS ANGELES — It was Hollywood at its finest. Come on, you don’t have pageantry more spectacular than the Golden Globes, hand out World Series rings fancier than a Tesla in Beverly Hills, and not finish the Hollywood script with the heart and soul of your team becoming the hero Friday on the Los Angeles […]
… Anyway, here’s “Wonderwall.” Baseball’s weird, man. Any way you slice it, there’s always some form of hijinx happening, somewhere, in some way. Just a few days ago, the Cubs turned their dugout into an IHOP, with Joc Pederson celebrating a home run with a waffle maker. Nicholas Castellanos got suspended for flexing. Noah Syndergaard […]

If the Rockies could draw up a blueprint for success in 2021, it would look like their 8-0 victory over Arizona on Wednesday night at chilly Coors Field. Right-hander Antonio Senzatela, who was off his game in his first start of the season against the Dodgers, looked like the “Senza” from 2020 when he was […]
You’ve got to love the candor, the honesty, the passion, and in particular, the freshness. Steve Cohen is a Major League Baseball owner, the richest in the entire sport, but to New York Mets fans, he’s “Uncle Steve.’’ You can talk to him. Interact with him. Joke with him. Even criticize him. Bring it on, Cohen […]
