Latest blog entries from Boston teams across every league
It’s another Sunday series finale, this time in Atlanta against the Braves. Brayan Bello starts for the Red Sox without an opener, a strategy that has seemingly helped get him back on track. Personally, I don’t think the opener is what got him through those outings, and it was more due to a change of […]
OK, picture this: It’s Opening Night in October, and the Boston Celtics are lined up on the bench for pregame introductions. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown sit waiting for their turn to rise, strut onto the floor, and go through their usual handshakes and routines. Sitting right beside them, suited up in green… LeBron James? […]
There are a number of changes to the Braves’ lineup as they face their first right-handed pitcher of the Red Sox series in Sunday’s finale. Most notably, the Braves are giving their top two shortstop options in Mauricio Dubon and Ha-Seong Kim the day off, starting Jorge Mateo at short and seventh in the lineup. […]
The first two games of this weekend’s Braves-Red Sox series couldn’t have been much closer, with each team claiming a 3-2 win. After Boston used an eighth-inning homer from Willson Contreras to win Saturday night’s game, the rubber match is set for Sunday at 1:35 p.m. at Truist Park. The Braves, who have lost just […]
Is there a more fun baseball archetype than the rookie pitching phenom? Mark Fydrich, Fernando Valenzuela, Kerry Wood, Dontrelle Willis, Jose Fernandez — these guys can take over entire summers. Payton Tolle has everything it takes to put together a special rookie season, one that lives in the imagination of Red Sox fans for decades. […]
Remember when we just complained about the third time through the order? We didn’t know how good we had it. Holding on to a slim lead and wanting to give their top bullpen arms a break, the Braves opted not only to run Bryce Elder through the Red Sox order a third time, but also […]
The New England Patriots will play hosts to the Pittsburgh Steelers in their 2026 home opener at Gillette Stadium, and to one of the best quarterbacks of all time. Aaron Rodgers will again be under center for the Black and Gold this season, a move that was made official on Saturday. As first reported by […]
Well, it’s time to see if the Braves can win another series by taking back-to-back games. Bryce Elder, who is hopefully up to being Bryce Eldar again, faces Payton Tolle. I really want to have some kind of riff on Tolle’s name with The Phantom Tollbooth but it gets awkward — Phaynton Tollebooth? Nah. What […]
As heartbreaking as it is to watch a team with legitimate championship aspirations fall in the first round to a rival, there is a silver lining for grieving Celtics fans. With the extra few weeks, the Celtics can allocate even more time to an area that separates them from the bulk of other NBA teams: […]
Chad Tracy hasn’t exactly shaken things up since taking charge of the Red Sox. But, my god, this man does love him some Mickey Gasper. Gasper and his ‘stache will once again bat second tonight, and this time he’ll do so as the catcher instead of the DH. That’s not the craziest call in the […]
The New England Patriots completely rebuilt their defensive edge during the 2025 offseason, but just one year later had to make more investments to ensure its quality heading into the future. The first big move was bringing in Dre’Mont Jones in free agency; the veteran arrived on a three-year, $36.5 million contract. What will Jones […]
Well, I’m not going to say the “Mauricio Dubon leads off against lefties” experiment is over, but whatever the case may be, it’s at least on hiatus for tonight’s game against Payton Tolle and the Red Sox: Austin Riley is back hitting cleanup, and Michael Harris II has dropped to sixth. These all sort make […]
The Seattle Seahawks will open the 2026 NFL season against the New England Patriots, the same team they vanquished to win Super Bowl 60. Given the Super Bowl wasn’t exactly a classic from a neutral perspective, reaction has been generally underwhelming to an immediate rematch, especially when the Chicago Bears looked like a prime option […]

There had been speculation for weeks that the NFL was going to select the Chicago Bears as the Seattle Seahawks’ opponent for the NFL Kickoff game to open the 2026 season. Heck, even Michael Wilbon was talking about it on the radio like it was a done deal. When the NFL announced that it would, […]
The calls for Daryl Morey’s ouster got louder and louder in the 48 hours between Philadelphia’s elimination from the NBA playoffs last Sunday and his official firing on Tuesday. In the span of just over one week, the Sixers managed to come from 3-1 down against the Boston Celtics on the heels of their star […]
Just yesterday we told you about how well Nick Sogard was doing down in AAA. Well, now we’ll get a chance to see if he can keep that going in the big leagues. Ahead of tonight’s game against the Braves, the Sox called up Sogard to take the place of Trevor Story, who has been […]
Worcester: L, 2-5 (BOX SCORE) In this bullpen game, every pitcher gave up their share of Buffalo (Blue Jays AAA) runs. The team was bogged down, moreover, by uninspired offense. Despite drawing 8 walks, they hit 2-for-14 with runners in scoring position, had just four batters record a hit, and never held a lead. By […]
So what are the 2026 Boston Red Sox made of? That’s what I keep asking myself, because the box scores and the standings tell two completely different stories right now and I can’t reconcile them. The Red Sox are 18-26, dead last in the AL East, nine games behind Tampa Bay with May not even […]
The Atlanta Braves began the series with the Boston Red Sox on a high note after getting a win in walk-off fashion. Mike Yastrzemski was the hero and delivered a walk-off in the 10th to give the Braves the 3-2 edge. Prior to the 10th inning, the Atlanta offense was relatively quiet. The lineup collected […]
When the Milwaukee Brewers sent Caleb Durbin and Andruw Monasterio to Boston before the season, the focus was, understandably, on the former top 100 prospect Kyle Harrison. (That has worked out quite well so far!) After that, people’s eyes likely wandered to David Hamilton, who was expected to get a pretty decent amount of work […]
Hunter Goodman has been good. Again. That is the place to start. Goodman hit 31 home runs last season, became an All-Star, and won a Silver Slugger. And he has been productive in 2026, hitting .247/.310/.513 with an .823 OPS and 11 home runs through May 15th. The interesting part is not that Goodman is […]
It’s always a bummer to have to be talking about the draft before the start of the conference finals, yet here we are looking ahead to the offseason for a second straight year. It’s not all bad though. For draft freaks like me, the final 2+ months before the draft are a wonderful time. I […]
The Boston Bruins made a smart choice by trading for center Fraser Minten last March 2025 . Acquired from the Toronto Maple Leafs for defenseman Brendan Carlo, with 15 percent of his salary retained, they maximized the return with a 2026 first-round pick, and a 2025 fourth-round pick attached to the prospect. He finished his first full season with the Bruins in 2025-26, scoring 35 points (17 goals, 18 assists) in 82 games, being moved up and down the lineup by head coach Mar...
