Drew White | Staff Writer April 11, 2019 As we reach the conclusion of the second week of the Major League Baseball season, we can start making opinions on teams. There is now enough of a sample size – granted, still a small sample — but enough of one to begin to formulate opinions. So here is a look at what we know — or, … Continue reading Here’s what we know, mere weeks into MLB year
David Borne | Staff Writer Jan. 31, 2019 In most sports-related labor conflicts between players and team owners, it’s very difficult for me to side against the players. At the end of the day, the players are the ones that are putting their bodies on the line and helping the owners reach a profit by doing so. This stagnant MLB offseason, however, has me feeling … Continue reading MLB teams, players locked in free agency standstill
Jacob Hebda | Staff Writer Oct. 11, 2018 Baseball is not generally thought of as exciting to watch, but the Major League Baseball postseason provides some of the most heart-racing moments in all of sports. After a surprising short Division Series where no series went the full five games, it’s on to the American League and National League Championship Series (ALCS; NLCS). This should prove … Continue reading ALCS, NLCS both looking to provide interesting baseball

In the meantime, I took a look at what the season will likely shape out … Continue reading 2018 MLB Preview: Top teams get stronger
Adam Lindner | Sports Editor 04/05/2018 I was perusing The Buffalo News’ sports page one morning this past weekend when I unexpectedly came upon a brief Atlantic 10 baseball update, detailing how nearby St. Bonaventure’s program was faring. The Bonnies began A-10 play 0-4, but then beat Massachusetts in back-to-back games to salvage their series this past weekend, improving their record to 2-4 in conference. … Continue reading Bemoaning the absence of a varsity DU baseball team
Adam Lindner | Sports Editor 11/02/2017 Admittedly, I’m not the Chicago Cubs’ biggest fan, so I was glad that I could watch the World Series in objective peace this year when they were bounced in the N.L.C.S. in Game 5 by the Dodgers. I’m not the world’s biggest baseball fan, either, and I haven’t paid the game too much attention ever since I became enamored … Continue reading Astros, Dodgers have given baseball fans a Series to remember
David Borne | Staff Writer 10/26/2017 From 1951 to 2010, Duquesne University fielded a varsity baseball team, last competing at the Division I level in the Atlantic 10 Conference before the program folded in the spring of 2010 alongside men’s swimming, wrestling and golf. During that span, plenty of great ballplayers represented the Red & Blue on the diamond, and a select few even went … Continue reading MLB veteran pitcher fond of time spent at Duquesne
By Trevor Hipkiss | Staff Writer Since 1925, The Duquesne Duke has been serving the Duquesne community by reporting on the issues that matter.
