Updated, 4:45 Pm: Cincinnati Reds broadcaster Thom Brennaman has been suspended from working Reds and Fox’s NFL broadcasts. The punishments come amid an outcry over an anti-gay slur he uttered on an open mic during his call of a Reds game on Wednesday night.
Brennaman sent a letter to the editor at The Cincinnati Enquirer on Thursday apologizing for his slur:
“As many of you know, I said something hateful on the air Wednesday night, something no one should ever say. Something that no one should ever think. Something that no one should ever feel. Something no one should ever hear.
“I could to try to explain it or tell you about who I am and what I believe, but those things would all be excuses. The simple fact is, what I said was wrong.
“I used a word that is both offensive and insulting. In the past 24 hours,...

Joey Gallo’s Texas Rangers are the team to beat in the Mlb The Show Players League.
That’s not exactly a revelation. Gallo remains the only team with an unblemished record after five nights of action, with an 8-0 mark. The slugger leads the league with 57 runs scored compared to 15 allowed. Nobody in the Players League has mashed more dingers than his 24.
But forget the numbers for a second. Enter Gallo’s victory Tuesday night over Eduardo Rodriguez and the Boston Red Sox, the only team with just one win or fewer after eight games, as proof that his Rangers are going to be a tough out for anyone.
With ace Corey Kluber on the hill and one out to start the matchup, the wheels came off. Each of the next six batters reached base, with Rodriguez knocking four doubles and a two-run blast to right-center field to take a commanding 6-0 lead.

The competition is heating up in the Mlb Players League on Mlb The Show 20. Through four nights of play, we’ve seen walk-offs, a handful of guys hitting dingers as themselves, and gratuitous celebrations. With a 29-game regular season and only eight playoff spots, nearly every game matters.
On Tuesday, 12 Major League Players will be live streaming their matchups. Headlining the evening’s tilts are 2019 All-Stars Joey Gallo (Texas Rangers) and Jeff McNeil (New York Mets). Gallo went undefeated on opening night, treating his fellow big leaguers like lambs at a slaughter. The Rangers’ slugger outscored his opponents 30-6 in a display of joystick brilliance. It’ll be tough to replicate now that the target is on his back. McNeil continues to show the baseball world that he’s the most versatile player in any game, real or virtual. He went 3-1 and sits in first place in a competitive Nl East.

On Friday, Major League Baseball and Sony’s Mlb The Show 20 kicked off its Players League with one representative from each of the 30 clubs participating in a 29-game regular season through April 28. It may be the closest thing we’ll get to real baseball for the foreseeable future. For fans depraved of America’s Pastime, it’s hard to deny this format was a fun way to pass the time at a moment when we could all use an escape from the real world. Night one featured Joey Gallo (Texas Rangers), Amir Garrett (Cincinnati Reds), Blake Snell (Tampa Bay Rays), Lance McCullers (Houston Astros), Trevor May (Minnesota Twins), and Eduardo Rodriguez (Boston Red Sox). It also featured big dingers, a safety squeeze, trash talk, and rage reactions, all things we love.
Where To Watch Mlb The Show Players League
The Players League streams at 9 p.m. each night on the following channels per Mlb.

For the baseball world, The Show must go on.
No, ballplayers don’t appear to be returning to the diamond any time soon. Instead, Major League Baseball has teamed with the Mlb Players Association and Sony Interactive Entertainment to launch a first-of-its-kind Mlb The Show 20 Players League, Mlb announced Friday morning. One player representative from all 30 Mlb clubs will participate in the league, with a 29-game regular season beginning Friday night and running through April 28, according to reports.
Using the newly-released Mlb The Show 20, each team will face the other once in games set for three innings in length, rather than the typical nine. Players would play multiple games every day or two. The eight-team postseason is scheduled to begin April 30, according to reports, featuring a best-of-three format in the quarterfinals and semifinals. The World Series will be a best-of-five setup on May 2, according to Sony.
