While I certainly didn’t expect the Giallorossi to be up a goal heading into the home leg of this quarterfinal matchup with Milan, it’s a blessing that I will take in stride while not coming close to believing that it makes this tie a done deal. There’s no doubt that Milan will be looking to win tonight, and Daniele De Rossi will have to apply the same tactical know-how he used last week in an attempt to confound Pioli and his men. Despite the injury to Evan Ndicka in Roma’s weekend match (get...
While this year’s version of the Derby Del Sole might not pack the same punch as the challenges against last year’s Scudetto-winning side, today’s match is still critical for the Giallorossi’s hopes for Champions League qualification. It also marks the true beginning of a challenging series of matches for Roma, with the side facing Napoli, Bayer Leverkusen, Juventus, Leverkusen again, and Atalanta between now and May 12. If Roma comes out of this stretch of matches with their hopes for Europa...
While Roma are down a few key players, the stakes for this Bologna match mean that Daniele De Rossi was obligated to put forward his strongest possible starting eleven, and capitano futuro delivered. While Tammy Abraham replaces Romelu Lukaku in the starting lineup and Diego Llorente continues in his role as third centerback behind the still-recovering Evan Ndicka, the rest of this lineup was fairly easy to predict. For Bologna, the absence of Lewis Ferguson will weigh heavy on Thiago Motta’s...
The Milwaukee Bucks will be taking on the Indiana Pacers Friday afternoon in Game 3 of the first round of the NBA Playoffs. With the series tied 1-1, both squads are fighting to gain the edge in the series. The Pacers are healthy besides losing Bennedict Mathurin for the season. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Chris Livingston are doubtful for Friday’s game, while Khris Middleton is a game time decision. Check out the full preview here, and follow along below and on Twitter. As always, go Bucks! NBA...
In Game 1 of the 2024 playoffs, the New York Knicks (50-32) will host the Philadelphia 76ers (47-35). New York won the season series 3-1, and beat the Sixers 106-79 in their last meeting on March 12. Of course, Mo Bamba started at center for the Phillies in that tilt; this time, they’ll have the NBA’s reigning MVP Joel Embiid back in the starting lineup. No sweat. Tip-off is 6 pm EST on MSG and ESPN. This is your game thread. This is Liberty Ballers. Please don’t post large photos, GIFs, or...
The Atlanta Braves will look to extend their win streak to five tonight as they will kick-off game one of a three game home set against the Texas Rangers. Chris Sale has received the starting nod for the Braves tonight, while the Rangers will send out Andrew Heaney to start things out on the mound for them. David Fletcher will make his first start of the 2024 season at second base tonight for the Braves as he will also bat in the nine spot. Adam Duvall will get the start in Left and bat sixth...
The Oakland A’s finally lost a series. After handling a triplet of teams that included the reigning champion Texas Rangers, the A’s let the St. Louis Cardinals take 2 out of 3 earlier this week. They’ll hope to regain some of their unlikely momentum by getting some revenge on Steven Vogt’s Cleveland Guardians, who squashed the A’s for the first 3 games of the season. Guiding the A’s from the mound will be rookie Joe Boyle, who has a 5.68 ERA but has been wildly effective his last two times out....

The Atlanta Braves are on a solid run of form as of late, as they’ve won three straight series and only recently had a six-game winning streak get snapped. This run includes a successful trip to Miami that saw the Braves take two-out-of-three from the Miami Marlins at the stadium formerly known as Marlins Park. That was earlier in the month and now the Marlins are coming to town looking to set the record straight. They’ll be starting with Ryan Weathers on the mound tonight, while Bryce Elder is...
