• Dodgers Tag Alcantara Again - May 6th, 2025
Sandy Alcantara, SP, MIA Alcantara was roughed up by the Dodgers again on Monday. Giving up five runs on six hits, one walk, and four Ks across 5.0 innings of work. The start came on the heels of a disastrous outing in LA six days ago (7ER, 2.2IP). The 2022 NL Cy Young winner has not worked his way back into form after missing the entirety of the 2024 season due to Tommy John surgery. With career-...2025

If you haven’t been keeping track, the Cubs are now just 1-5 on Sundays. I don’t particularly think it is a getaway day issue. They are 3-3 in midweek series-enders. So it is at least a passing thought that there is something with Sundays. It sure w...2025
