It’s rivalry weekend in MLB: Can you name all the series rivalries? I’ve done a lot of them for you. Let's go: Subway Series, Lone Star Series, Citrus Series, Crosstown Classic, Freeway Series, Border Battle, Sho-me Series, the Ohio Cup, the Beatlway Series, and the Vedder Cup. Which ones am I missing? Which series is your favorite? Mine? The Beltway Series between the Nats and the O’s. Finish Your Breakfast: 5.16.2026.

Happy Friday (5.15.2026): The Reds destroyed the Nats 15-1. Chase Burns was outstanding: 6 IP, 0 ER, 7 Ks. Dane Myers had a home run and a web gem catch in center field. Ke’Bryan Hayes had two hits and two RBIs. The Cards had a dramatic come-from-behind victory to beat the A’s. Jordan Walker saved a home run in the first inning and hit a home run in the 6th. Walker’s double to right at the top of the 9th secured the Cards' comeback. The Mets broke out the brooms against the Tigers. Soto, Vientos, Baty, and Semien all had homers - all of that and more on today’s Finish Your Breakfast.

Finish Your Breakfast (5.14.2026): Shohei and Mookie help the Dodgers defeat the Giants 4-0. The Braves have taken two in a row over the Cubs - Drake Baldwin with his 11th homer of the season. The Nats Daylen Lile has hit three home runs in the last two games (Nats over the Reds in extras). The O’s won their 3-game series over the Yankees 2-1, with a 7-0 win yesterday. Byron Buxton hit two home runs in the Twins' loss to the Marlins—all of that and more on this episode of FYB.

Finish Your Breakfast (5.13.2026): Lots of action in the MLB to review: Derek Hill delivered a pinch-hit go-ahead homer in the 8th and a game-saving catch in the 9th to lead the Sox over the Royals. Daylen Lile and James Wood both homered in the Nats blowout of the Reds. Professional hitter Dom Smith went 4-4 with two runs scored as the Braves took game one of their series with the Cubs. And the Yankees reinstated their Jedi mind-control over the O’s—all of that and Ice Cube at Dodgers Stadium.

Honest question: Can you name the Rays’ starting lineup? Currently, they are the best team in the AL and one of the hottest teams in MLB, but their players are not household names. It was a short night in MLB. Let’s finish our breakfast together.

• Are the Braves the best team in baseball?
• Should Xavier Edwards bat cleanup?
• With the NCAA Softball tournament starting Friday, who are the teams and players to watch?
• Do giveaways like the Tupac bobblehead bring more Black people to the ballpark?

All of that and more. Cheats, Flobo, April, and Malik talk all things Black baseball.

The Black Baseball Mixtape is in partnership with the Players Alliance, Minority Prospects, and Numbers Game Scorebook.

Finish Your Breakfast (5.11.2026): I hope everyone had a wonderful (and relaxing) Mother’s Day. Jo Adell had a huge day: 3 H, 2 HR, 2 RBIs, in a victory against the Jays. Aaron Judge hit his 16th home run of the season - Judge and Kyle Schwarber are tied for the MLB lead. The Brewers completed the sweep against the Yankees. The Rays are now in sole possession of first place in the AL East. The Braves win the 3-game series against the Dodgers out west. Drake Baldwin hit his 10th home run of the season—all of that and more on FYB.

Finish Your Breakfast: Happy Mother’s Day.
