In Sunday’s Game 6 against the Blues, the Bruins were able to do something that hadn’t been accomplished since 2011: force Game 7. Coincidentally, the last team to force Game 7 in the Final were the 2011 Bruins, who went on to defeat the Canucks 4-0 in the final game and clinch the Stanley Cup title.

Out of those 16 sudden death matchups, the home team has won 12. However, it’s the road team has won the last two…

This week’s edition, outside of one or two names, will focus mainly on deeper players who may be available on the waiver wire (somewhat similar to last…

Why is there a Braves-era Martin Prado wall decal in the Leeds DAZN office? Is a “ruptured testicle” as bad as it sounds — or worse?

Paddack is 4-4 with a 3.15 ERA this season with 72 strikeouts in 65 2/3 innings. The 23-year-old has never thrown more than 90 innings in a season. San Diego is 33-34 on the season and 11 1/2 games back of the Dodgers for first place in the NL West. But, the team is five games back of the second wild-card spot, so the playoffs are by no means out of reach. The Padres reportedly have interest in Indians…
