Every morning he buttons up his No. 51 jersey and spends several hours as a spring training instructor for the San Diego Padres, working with veterans and minor leaguers alike. He’ll head back to San Diego for the start of the prep…

Consequently, the Cougars prevailed 7-3 for their second win in the teams’ season-opening three-game series in Charleston, South Carolina. “They were ahead in counts, and we were not ahead in counts,” Erstad said during his postgame radio show. “When you get behind in counts, you either walk…

With former ace Andy Suarez graduated, Enrique Sosa out for the season after shoulder surgery, Derik Beauprez kicked off the team for violating rules and reliever Michael Mediavilla shifting from the bullpen to starter, plenty of questions surrounded Miami’s 2016 rotation.

But something’s always wrong with baseball. And that’s kind of the point. From the twenties and thirties through the forties and fifties, everything from alcoholism to cocaine use to…

On Friday night, the No. 14 Oregon Ducks beat San Diego State 8-2 in what amounts to one of the more misleading finals around the country on Opening Day. After taking a 2-0 lead in the third inning, an advantage that wasn’t threatened until late, the Ducks squandered the lead in the bottom of…
