The Blue Jackets turned their crystal clear situation into a picture perfect result. Win and you’re in, as they say in this business. That’s what the Jackets, who started this rescheduled game with a 1-0 lead before the puck even dropped, were faced with but standing in their way was a Dallas Stars team that […]

Indians Beat Padres 8-6
April 9, 2014 by
David Murphy is not sure what happened in the indoor batting cage a couple days ago. For the first time in what has felt like ages, the Indians outfielder began to feel the kind of comfort with his swing that helped him thrive a few seasons ago in Texas. That feeling was gone throughout last […]
Cardinals Beat Reds 7-5
April 9, 2014 by
Reds manager Bryan Price has only two hands and 10 fingers. Just when it seemed Tuesday that one leak was stopped when the offense perked up, Price saw two more drips spring on the club with its pitching and defense vs. the Cardinals. This 7-5 Reds loss to St. Louis at Busch Stadium proved extra […]

April 9, 2014 by
What a shot. What a moment. What an atmosphere in Nationwide Arena. The highs and lows experienced in the span of 10 minutes almost perfectly encapsulated exactly what the Blue Jackets are playing for: they held a 3-2 lead deep into the third period, saw the Coyotes tie it up with 14.6 seconds left, but […]

Cardinals Beat Reds 5-3
April 8, 2014 by
The Major League season is certainly a marathon, but the Reds are barely away from the starting line and have already seen their course littered with empty rallies and lost opportunity. Pushing runs in during clutch time has already eluded the Reds early and often, and Monday’s 5-3 defeat to the Cardinals for a 2-5 […]

April 7, 2014 by
The Indianapolis Indians completed the four-game sweep Sunday with an 8-3 win in the opening series over the Columbus Clippers.

Twins Beat Indians 10-7
April 7, 2014 by
The Indians expected some growing pains for their rotation this season. That makes having a leader such as Justin Masterson so important, because the big sinkerballer has a knack for using a strong outing to turn the page on a rough stretch. Masterson was not immune to the recent pitching problems on Sunday. Minnesota struck […]
Reds Beat Mets 2-1 to Avoid Sweep
April 7, 2014 by
A reliever turned temporary starting pitcher for the Reds, Alfredo Simon is the caretaker of the fifth spot in the rotation until Mat Latos can return in a couple of weeks. Simon, who hadn’t started in the regular season since 2011 with the Orioles, did more than just eat innings or pitch well enough on […]
