During the win against the Chicago Cubs, Pittsburgh Pirates sensation Paul Skenes was excellent in his second career start. Skenes was outstanding in today’s game, pitching a no-hitter to the sixth inning. The Pirates pitcher was pulled from the game after a hundred pitches were thrown but gave up the no-hitter.   While it is understandable why the manager removed him, it was a no-hitter and could have made history. It would have been a life changer for Skenes to have a no-hitter in his second career game. Pirates manager Derek Shelton, while he made the right choice, also could have…

The NFL offseason is going well for the Tennessee Titans as they just signed receiver Tyler Boyd to a short-term contract. Tennessee is having a good offseason and signing Tyler Boyd will help their offense develop more for Will Levis. There is also a strong chance that the Titans offense could do well with a veteran receiver aiding the young quarterback. This pickup will also reunite the receiver with Brian Callahan from their time in Cincinnati. With the aid of the veteran receiver, younger receivers like Treylon Burks could develop too. Tennessee picking up Boys will do wonders for the…

With the NFL Draft done, the San Francisco 49ers draft could haunt them in the upcoming NFL season. The 49ers, throughout the draft, had barely addressed their concerns for the team, especially in the offensive line. San Francisco also shows that they plan on trading one of their star receivers soon. This thinking could backfire for the Niners in the future.  Another reason the Niners lost this draft is that they were looking for an offensive lineman but could not get one. The pick that could have been their pick went to other teams, including a lineman that they traded…

With the NFL draft done, the Atlanta Falcons selected Micheal Penix Jr. from Washington in the first round. The Falcons used their premium first-round pick to choose a quarterback who was projected to be a later first-round pick.

These struggles show that Jackson Holliday has potential with the team but is not ready to hit against major league pitching right now. The statistics also were not in Holliday’s favor, being 2-34 with only one RBI. With a tremendous amount of hype around, the stats were disappointing for fans and coaching. While the season is young, and he could improve, the…

With the New York Mets season underway for the better, the team will expect J.D Martinez back on the field. The Mets will have the slugger back for Friday and, hopefully, help the team.

Along with helping New York improve on hitting, Martinez could help the Mets by having a consistent designated hitter. The hope is that the at-bats at the minors are a sign of good things that could…
