Nationals against Astros for World Series 2019

The 2019 World Series is set: The Houston Astros will face the Washington Nationals for the Commissioner’s Trophy to close out the postseason. Both teams have highly touted starting pitching, but they took different October roads to reach the Fall Classic. Washington had to come from behind to win the Wild Card Game over the Brewers on Oct. 1. The Nationals then won the final two games of the NLDS to upset the top-seeded Dodgers before sweeping the NL Central-winning Cardinals to get the World Series. It was a more straightforward road for the Astros. Houston had baseball’s best record in the regular season, going 107-55. The Astros won the […]

Astros defeat Yankees for 3-1 ALCS lead

George Springer and Carlos Correa each hit three-run homers and the Houston Astros got another wild ace off the hook to beat the sloppy New York Yankees 8-3 Thursday night and reach the cusp of a second World Series visit in three years. The Astros lead the AL Championship Series 3-1, putting the 2017 World Series winners on the brink of a showdown with the NL champion Washington Nationals. Houston still has Justin Verlander and Gerrit Cole queued up for this series, and the Yankees will have to defeat both to survive. Verlander will start Game 5 on Friday night […]

Astros look to push Yankees to the brink

After a unanticipated time without work, the American League Championship Collection resumes in New York with the Houston Astros seeking to take a commanding 3-1 lead and the Yankees hoping to even the collection and cut back it to a best-of-three. There was no media entry at Yankee Stadium after Recreation Four of the ALCS was rescheduled resulting from a storm that was anticipated to drop shut to 2 inches of rain throughout the realm. The washout permitted the Yankees and Astros to ship their Recreation 1 starters — Tanaka and Greinke — again to mound. Mild rain is likely […]

Nationals defeat Cardinals to reach first World series

The Washington Nationals made history Tuesday night, proceeding to their first World Series in franchise history. The Nationals jumped on the Cardinals early, scoring seven runs in the first inning, and won 7-4 to complete the NLCS sweep. The Nationals are 8-2 in the postseason and have won six straight overall. “It’s one of these situations where teams just kind of get hot,” TBS and MLB Network Host Casey Stern alleged on After Hours with Amy Lawrence. “I thought the Nationals would win the division before the year began. It clearly didn’t (start) that way through 50 games, but I […]

Lakers’ Anthony Davis suffers sprained thumb against Nets

Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis experienced a sprained thumb in the team’s preseason game in China versus the Brooklyn Nets, according to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin. However, it appears that it’s only a minor injury as initial exams revealed a Grade 1 sprain without any ligament harm, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. The 26-year-old had maintained good health in the two seasons prior to 2018-19, appearing in 75 games in both seasons. However, he was limited to 56 games last year because of injuries and an ongoing trade saga with the New Orleans Pelicans. He missed three games early on with a sprained right elbow and […]

Philadelphia Phillies fire manager Gabe Kapler

The Philadelphia Phillies stated on Thursday that they have fired manager Gabe Kapler. The announcement brings to an end a lengthy 11-day evaluation from Phillies owner John Middleton, who took control of the decision-making process from GM Matt Klentak. Middleton reportedly flew to his players’ offseason homes to interview them about Kapler. Kapler, 44, was hired by Klentak after the 2017 season to substitute Pete Mackanin. His dedication to analytics and his unorthodox administration style, both on and off the field, was supposed to herald a bright new era for the Phillies, who were just emerging from a five-year rebuild. Instead, Kapler was […]

Raiders’ Vontaze Burfict has season-long suspension upheld

Vontaze Burfict will stay suspended for the rest of the 2019 season following Wednesday’s ruling in his appeal hearing. Per NFL senior vice president of football and internal communications Michael Signora, appeals officer Derrick Brooks upheld the league’s discipline for the Oakland Raiders linebacker The league first revealed Burfict’s suspension on Sept. 30, one day after he was ejected for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Jack Doyle in the second quarter of Oakland’s 31-24 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora reported Sunday that Burfict was unlikely to win his appeal because of “past transgressions that include numerous fines and prior suspensions for repeated violations of player safety […]

Aaron Hicks feels ready to return to NY Yankees’ roster after elbow injury

Fresh off a three-game sweep of the Twins in the ALDS, the Yankees could be getting even more help for the ALCS. Center fielder Aaron Hicks told the Associated Press on Tuesday that he is “definitely ready to go out there and play.” Hicks hasn’t suited up for the Yankees since Aug. 3 due to a right elbow flexor strain. He also suffered a setback during his recovery, making it unclear if he would play again in 2019. But while the Yankees have pushed to make their way into the ALCS, Hicks was working hard behind the scenes in Tampa, and now believes […]

Ryan Zimmerman gives Washington life with big home run

Ryan Zimmerman has spent his whole professional career with the Washington Nationals. He’s the franchise’s leader in hits, home runs and runs batted in. However, he may not have ever delivered a bigger hit. In Monday’s game four of the best-of-five National League Division Series, with his team clinging to a 2-1 lead vs. the two-time defending National League champion Dodgers, Zimmerman clubbed a towering three-run home run to give Washington a 5-1 lead.
