In a devastating blow to baseball enthusiasts across the nation, a major carriage dispute between media behemoth Comcast and Diamond Sports Group has resulted in a blackout of various Major League Baseball (MLB) teams on regional sports networks. Among those affected are the dedicated fans of the Los Angeles Angels, who now find themselves unable to catch their beloved team’s games.
The impasse between the two companies has led to the removal of 15 regional sports networks from Comcast’s lineup, depriving viewers of access to local broadcasts of their favorite MLB clubs.
Another uneven performance from San Diego Padres starting pitcher Matt Waldron highlighted the team’s 5-2 loss against the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night. The right-hander’s inconsistent season continued as he battled control issues and an inability to limit hard contact over six innings of work.
Waldron struggled from the outset, allowing six hits and four earned runs while striking out four batters. His mistakes were costly, as the Reds capitalized on opportunities and built an early lead that the Padres’ offense could not overcome.
In a dramatic turn of events on a wet, windy night at Camden Yards, tempers flared between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Baltimore Orioles during the sixth inning of their series opener. The confrontation between Brewers’ infielder Willy Adames and Orioles’ catcher James McCann escalated to the point where both teams’ benches cleared, and pitchers rushed in from the bullpens.
The incident began when Adames stepped up to the batter’s box for his fourth plate appearance of the game.

As the 2024 MLB season dawns, the Los Angeles Dodgers find themselves already grappling with a depleted pitching staff due to a spate of injuries. In a move that didn’t catch many by surprise, the team placed four pitchers on the 10-day injured list: Walker Buehler, Emmet Sheehan, Brusdar Graterol, and Blake Treinen.
The decision to start Buehler on the IL was announced early in Spring Training, as the Dodgers look to exercise caution with their ace after he missed the entire 2023 campaign while recovering from his second Tommy John surgery.
